Any evidence this is the privileged class using it for capital flight and tax evasion and not the common man freeing himself from the economic authorities? In my opinion it doesn't matter. Good for all involved who are taking back control of their wealth
The real priviliged class uses regular banking, private banking services[0], they don't need bitcoin.
It's the Engineer in Nigeria trying to conserve his 5 figures at most wealth for his family who needs Bitcoin.
The 7 or 8 figures guy just calls his nearest bank and they will give him the whole package and even launder the money for him.
