RE: The Scarcity Of Crypto Outlets In Africa

Great show as usual guys🥂
On @josediccus' point about outlet where people could get access to crypto currencies. There are some coins websites that give free crypto as rewards but the problem is how to gain access to it to the rewards. These websites give very minute amounts of these crypto, transactions fees and the rest could take up the whole earnings.
Second, many people don't have the willingness to learn about crypto because it's either the terms they come across while doing research are big terms and they just don't have the patience to read on or they follow the stereotype that anything crypto has to involve trading. Many people that I've asked about trading walkway start with the phrase "trading is hard" and that alone is enough to scar people off. They forget that there no success without volatility.
In a means to get Hive out to people, there's this initiative "Hive goes to school" that I've seen from time to time. It's a nice initiative where people go to schools to tell students about Hive and crypto currencies in general. I for one didn't learn anything about crypto currency while I was in school but this initiative makes a big difference for the future.
This is where Hive stands out and excels with the zero transaction fees, I don't know any other crypto platform where one is rewarded for their time like Hive and have the chance to cash out and also in the process learn about crypto amongst other benefits.
People get it wrong by attaching mainly money to crypto, yes there is a monetary aspect to it and so are other benefits, focusing on money alone makes one associate crypto with trading. It is a pity that some of us are not keen on researching and learning, and that is what Africans need, we've got to keep learning to keep discovering.
First time hearing about this, it is a great initiative depending on if Hivers are allowed to talk about Hive in schools and the country.
Many thanks for listening.

The initiative wasn't carried out in an African country tho. If there are hivians ready to spreed the word and schools who are willing to receive the word, then this initiative could also come to Africa.
Between, I like your name @wongi, I went to check a video where you pronounced it and I was right about the pronunciation.. 😃
Oh, I made a video like that😅. I can't really recall it tho. I'm glad you got the pronunciation right, a lot of people don't😅
Yes, probably two months ago, a video of a "Wednesday walk" if I'm not mistaken.
Oh oh, that video. I remember it now. My first experience with "chickwizz"
Irrespective of this, I do believe people should be more resilient about Crypto. Anyone who's willing to leave the system and better their lives should not really wait to be spoon-fed. We're living in a digital age, some people are on their WhatsApp for 24 hours posting memes, sure they can give off a little of that time to do research and save themselves from the monotony their system has put them in.
It's all about the willingness/ eagerness. You can't sensitize someone who isn't eager about crypto and expect good results.
Thanks you your response ✨
