Given the events in Afghanistan over the last week, it is a great example of where bitcoin could have been of great use to the people of the country. The currency, the Afghani, fell to record lows. Anyone who owned bitcoin was protected and could escape the country with their assets, not worrying about capital controls or confiscation at the border.
You have the bitcoins with you, so you can survive in these tough times at Afghanistan but what's the grantee that you will live ? The currency comes in handy when you are able to survive but currently the situation of the country is not good and anyone could get a shot gun anytime
Anyways bitcoin is always a safe place to keep your money without concerning much about geographical boundaries.
