Are the people who use bitcoins network for remittances or cross-boarder business because there’s no better alternative scammed? Are the now many countries @anita has onboarded scammed?

if they sat on their sats, believing the Bitcoiner protect-against-debasement story, then yes, they were scammed. If, more likely, they swapped it pretty quickly for local fiat -> local goods and services, less so. (But then those people, in turn got scammed. So I guess I'm saying: yes, have fun staying scammed)
