If the argument it allows these people more stability / wealth to circumvent currency controls of their country, I don't see why the argument can't be extended to first / wealthy worlders as well. To note, I'm for deregulating these currency controls and deregulating the banking system, but giving 3rd worlders a pass while being harsher on those richer than us just seems like crab in a bucket mentality (not accusing you of that, but I've noticed HN exhibiting this duality).
