That's only part of it. The most important part is the censorship resistance and the abstraction for the end user.
Currently, I could ship something to you through DHL only if I identify you and myself and if the goods are legal and pay all customs between us.
Ideally, we would be able to do that same thing without the identification, the customs, and potentially with illegal goods as well. An illegal good might just be a NVIDIA GPU in China.

You can help a few people and fulfil some of the demands this way.
To make it work, Bitcoiners need to get organised and unite together. What you are talking about is gonna see many behind the bars.

Yeah my interest in this is pretty limited in scope to fixing trade with Nigeria. They have a high adoption rate, but are notoriously unreliable trading partners. A scheme that at least pays monetary damages for loss could make it worthwhile.

At first, making this happen between two nations can be the way going forward with this. It can start like P2P shipping with intermediatery just depositing the parcel in a decentralised box. But then we also need a lot of infrastructure and service providers.

I don't have everything figured out, not even close. Take it as a random idea open for discussion.
Actually all of this already exists. A protocol would just standardize it and enable more people to use it.
And in the most simple example, it might just be a guy from your neighborhood delivering some homemade lasagna to your relative. But this way that delivery guy does not need to work for DoorDash/Uber Eats where he can only make fiat and get half of it stolen by his local government.
