Definitely, it takes time and effort because indigenous people should be first learn how to use even mobile devices and to be exposed to technology, they need to learn the basics of computer, or else, maybe we could exposed them directly to cryptocurrency in a way that what they just need to learn is to how to store money, withdraw and transfer funds. In that case, they can contribute to the cryptocurrency community even without fully understanding the technology behind it.

What indigenous people need and want are the things that can help them survive and not cryptocurrency. In fact, giving them "fish" may not be helping a lot we need to teach them how to "fish" so they will not, one day, be extinct. Of course, these people are survivors so if left on their one they can eventually make it...it is even us who are used to the urban dwellings that may have a big problem if there will be conflagration and disasters along the way. Aside from basic education, these people need a systematic and adept healthcare system and this can be provided by the government and non-government efforts.

Education is the key so investing with their young people can go a long, long way in preparation for their next generation who are already learned and can easily integrate with the mainstream society without losing their culture and identity. Now, I still have to know where is the role of cryptocurrency here. We are even having a hard time convincing the mainstream population to adopt cryptocurrency and here we are planning to make cryptocurrency the in thing for the indigenous people...sorry I have to say that this idea is not my cup of tea. I have a 10th blood of a native based on my family history and I once worked in an NGO focusing on native people so I know what I am saying, at least in my POV.

Of course, giving these people cryptocurrency won't hurt them so make your day...it is not my money anyway!

I've already said something like this on my last post. And we probably both agree that cryptocurrency doesn't necessarily help them make a better living or should I say, cryptocurrency isn't the key to make their lives better. Indigenous people, at least for me, are special people (not in a discriminating or insulting way)--they make the culture alive (very much alive actually). I'm not an activist or anything but I think technology is what makes culture "endangered", as society progress by means of technology we often forget our traditions/culture, or rather we choose to set those aside, "for progress". I know technology is essential not gonna lie, but what I'm saying is exposing these people into something that is unfamiliar and in hindsight, dangerous, isn't going to be the best idea for everyone. Again, I'm not belittling them, just being a realist/practical in this situation.
