I don’t get you? I’m not asking you to provide evidence that “places exist where moving fiat across borders is practically impossible“.

I’m interested in the many poor people you know who have been lifted into middle class through being paid in BTC by American employers. It’s a fairly bold claim from what I know of the way multinational companies operate globally so I’m genuinely curious about it.

sorry I misunderstood you. Possibly because I can't really comprehend what you're asking still. I won't give you these peoples names and location, if that's what you're asking for - I simply know that I'm aware of a group of contracted developers that I have spent a good deal of time talking to, that were paid in bitcoin because they claimed it was infeasible to get paid in USD due to their local regulations.

I'm not sure where the bold claim is - there are plenty of articles detailing companies who openly pay contractors in bitcoin, so I must still misunderstand you?
