Hence my question: if someone in Cuba were to earn $20 in Bitcoin, does that mean it gives him more purchasing power than his salary? Or does that add another level of getting screwed somehow?

I do not know the ways to use Bitcoin in Cuba to buy things, where I imagine there are not many options, but I understand that to exchange Bitcoin for local money, at least in the big cities, there are. Actually, looking at coinmap, there are some places to pay with Bitcoin and even some ATM in the capital, so anyone who earns $50 a week in signature campaigns in the forum has a purchasing power 10 times greater than a skilled professional in Cuba, where most depend on remittances from relatives abroad to subsist.
