Bitcoin has an insane value proposition for most people in the world.. A store of value that is outside of what the men with guns whether gangsters or corrupt government officials where they live can see. And you can trade this value instantly to anyone in the world. You can also have as many wallets as you want, further hiding it all. And this transfer of value can go across borders.
You can create a parallel economy with this like cash. For example say you do work for somebody worth $1,000. You can get paid with $500 in normal money that you declare on your taxes and get hit by a shitload of taxes and all the people on the government payroll get a piece of it. But the other $500 he gives you in Bitcoin.
The guy paying you $500 in regular money also has to pay stuff like confiscatory sales taxes on that.
