> The real exploitation for 99% of the population isn't someone currency-manipulating your fortunes, it's being a de facto wage slave because we live in a system that decides at birth that you're a slave and 1% of people aren't.

Coincidentally, the 1% are always people who have ties with the State and who have access to cheap credit. Bitcoin solves this.

> Crypto doesn't help you with that, ironically it makes it worse because it helps the kleptocracy move their money. That's who has a use for anonymous money, and they're normally robbing the locals. See: the Panama Papers, Russia

So you see Panama Papers and you infer that that the kleptocracy has any problems with storing their billions in bank accounts? The little guy needs Bitcoin, the kleptocracy does not.
