Can we have more threads about the South American and African economies, and the use of crypto-currencies to help members who are in countries with oppressive regimes. I'd also be interested in more comments about the ways for people to help family members in such countries.

I'd love to hear more about these same things, but I'm going to tell you something. People from all over Asia and Africa are writing on this forum all the time, and they're mostly very generic statements and don't give the reader any clue as to how crypto is being used in any of those places. I was trying to figure out the extent to which bitcoin and Dash specifically were being used in Venezuela, where they're actually having a hyperinflation situation, and all I've ever seen were the news quotes from Hydrogen. All the comments added nothing to any of it.

Maybe I've gotten too cynical, but I don't expect a lot from the lower ranks in terms of a serious discussion about bitcoin in the 3rd world. This, unfortunately, is what we usually get:

Well I would say that bitcoin has a good future because it started so well you know,and I think btc will just get better and better,and as it gets better more people start to use it.So I think btc's future is looking bright.

I think Bitcoin will have a bright future in the future, Day by day Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency is becoming very famous and profitable around the world so It will play an important role in the future. I also assume that Bitcoin will dominate in the money market very soon.

Don't worry about the future of bitcoin, bitcoin will have a bright future because bitcoin is the basis of crypto and will remain the main one in crypto. Don't doubt the bitcoin and believe in bitcoin then you will get a good profit.

And so on. Maybe if you start threads in Serious Discussion or Ivory Tower, there may be some merit-worthy discussion, but not in most of the other sections.

I've found some interesting people from Peru, Venezuela and other South American countries. They have made it to England to work, and they send part of their wages home to help their families. They seem to enrich the bankers as they do this.

So have you asked any of these people if they've ever heard of or used bitcoin?
