Honestly as much as I dislike crypto, this is the one time where it could actually come in clutch. Big corporates can't stop people from wiring bitcoin to an address.

I've always said crypto isn't completely useless, it should just be what it was always meant to be and no more:

A currency to buy drugs anonymously on the darknet.

Could have just stopped at OG bitcoin for that. All the rest is idiocy. It's good for that niche, and nothing else.

True, but how would you organise that? There are plenty of scummy crypo-bros who would be more than willing to use this to line their wallet.
