I live in a country that persecutes you for your beliefs and the government does little about it to the point that whatever your money is or isn't worth, you cannot go get it anyway since in order to be paid you'd have to be part of the apparatus that comes after you for having beliefs different than it encourages. This also applies to bitcoin as it has gatekeepers and there are more and more of those each day.

I offered this place, for instance, to be a territory administrator for a religion section if someone wanted to supply the sats. Nobody wanted to do that even after the "Christianity" territory went goodbye. (I know that, because nobody did it)

Groceries are good, but spiritual food is important. Bitcoin or fiat don't solve either of those problems on their own.
