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.


I'm from France but I'm a frequent traveler and decided recently that I'd take a look at the crypto scene in some of the countries I visit.

I'll keep doing that any chance I get but I agree it would be nice if people around the world shared their experiences.

About South America and Africa, I recently posted this in the WO thread (best thread for this kind of info if you ask me  Wink)
