Edit: My post was intended to make a much broader point than some of you took it for. Would crypto have helped today in this specific situation? Probably not. But is this why we need decentralized finance in the future on a larger scale? Absolutely!

I think too many took my post to mean crypto would have helped right now, in this specific case in Afghanistan. That’s not what I intended. Bad wording on my part.
