the unbanked

Can the unbanked still benefits from crypto these days though? How can you cash your crypto without doing KYC? Even localbitcoin got folded due to increased regulation. If you can pass KYC, then you're probably not the unbanked. Less and less business accept crypto these days, it's hard purchase daily necessities without cashing out your crypto (except probably in venezuela).

except probably in venezuela

I mean thats really what I'm talking about. Africa, Central and South America, I know they benefit substantially from technology, because local banks can be so unreliable.
