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.

People can't even escape from that sharia hell easily. Bitcoin would be the last thing they would think about. Things are going really bad in Afghanistan, thousands of people already came to Turkey and many more refugees to come, if they can escape. I'm pretty sure %99 of them don't even use computer, let alone how Bitcoin works and how to save a wallet. Don't forget to consider geographical conditions when looking at things from a different perspective.
I understand your point but it's a wishful thinking. Even boomers in USA or other civilized countries can't understand and use Bitcoin, don't expect poor Afghan refugees to know this technology.
