This week we start our ‘Inspiring stories’ series: stories from around the world, seldom heard in the media, yet which instil in us knowledge and connection from their telling.
As a quick follow up, I ran into the woman who inspired this story on Wednesday. She showed me pictures of her three wonderful children who are all school-age now and she told me she was putting $5 a week into Bitcoin through Swan.com
Thankyou for this moving and compelling story. So much of this is outside the awareness of western readers, and such stories fill an important gap in our knowledge.
Stories like this help us to hold consciousness of the world as a whole, and refrain from dismissing an important system/resource such as bitcoin because our survival doesn't depend on it.
I look forward to more, and am sharing this with many friends.
Absolutely. And Bitcoin is so unique, because its probably the first technology the world has ever had that is being adopted in the developing world first. Normally technologies such as mobile telecommunications and WIFI are adopted in the developing world last.
