I remember seeing @JoeNakamoto's I FAILED to give out free money to people in Communist Cuba, and indeed, things we take for granted (like a functional smartphone and decent internet access) might not be available in certain countries, making Bitcoin adoption way harder.
This is all on the brink of change with Starlink, open source social networks like NOSTR and other decentralized communication mediums. Bridging the gap is just a few years away.

I half-agree with you about Starlink. Even in Brazil, its price isn't accessible to the "masses". Sadly, I can imagine it being available for the average Cuban.
As for NOSTR and other decentralized tools, that's probably the way to go, indeed.
