It's strange you posted this just now. I am preparing my weekly Golden Oldies post, and one of them discusses some of the exact same issues you are talking about re impoverished people and fiat. I just got done reading it. Also, I'm working my way through the Libbitcoin Cryptoeconomics book(?)

They may know I have purchased bitcoin but they can’t push a button and take it away from me like you can do with anything else in the fiat system.

This point is really hammered home.

And under Trump more people can take their destiny into their own hands.

This remains to be seen. Also, Tether and the digital dollar can be turned on and off at will.
