I totally believe this is how lots of smaller countries in the world are going to add legitimacy to cryptocurrencies. And then the collective efforts of these small countries is going to make it so that they can't be banned in larger countries who have banking systems with competing interests, like the United States, where we are yet to make any significant decisions in the regulatory space to help crypto-companies flourish.
If anything, as an American, it's harder to participate in the burgeoning crypto economy. For instance, I can't get a Bitwala debit card, but I reallllllyyy want one.
