>and it's going to be entertaining when countries with capital controls discover this

That means e.g. Venezuelans would be able to instantly drop out of the Bolivar and get into a stable currency, therefore instantly bringing about the tail end of hyperinflation, which drops the value of the Bolivar to zero - because now not only does no one want it (as is the status quo in real life), but also no one has it, which is what Venezuela currently has control over (by not letting people freely get out of the Bolivar).
