Problem: they don't actually transfer wealth
-
-
They are, if they enable circumvention of capital controls
-
But they only enable that to the extent people are interested in buying numbers. People have no independent use for these numbers
-
I don't think you understand what I'm saying, bitcoin functionally has value because it allows you to walk a billion $ through US customs

What do you do with it on the other end? Trade it to someone else who needs to do the same thing
-
That's literally why bitcoin exists
-
Problem: taking numbers over the border is not taking real wealth over the border. Bitcoin doesn't represent anything in particular
