If They Won't Redistribute, Why Can't We?
A few days ago I read a post from @cryptoeagle about how Bitcoin’s Lightning Network is being used in Cuba to supplement income in a country where the value of fiat money has fallen into the gutter.
Now I'm new to crypto and I see how in this live study, Steem was converted to Bitcoin and with the Android Lightning Network by Eclair was used to top off cellphones in Cuba via Bitrefill.
Now my question is this?
How can social innovators help people earn crypto?
Having the technology in place to enable micro-transactions on say, topping off prepaid mobile phones is an essential part of the infrastructure, and we need more of those pieces in play, across all aspects of life, for all nations with all sorts of different economies.
But the real catch is this: How can people actually earn crypto? As it stands now, you still have to be pretty deep into the internet to make much progress. Steemit is a step in the right direction: taking something most of us already do, something based on a social media platform and paying out for content.
But this will obviously not be the answer for the majority of people. So the real question is how can social innovators help people earn crypto who don't have access to the tools, or time, or the inclination to post content with the hopes of winning some money?
You Can't Help Anyone Do Anything That You Can't Do Yourself...
So here's another catch: The people most equipped to make big progress in helping crypto take fire in weak economies are the stakeholders, in the case of Steemit, the whales and dolphins. But is it in THEIR INTEREST?
Is there a way to make money re-arranging crypto wealth geopolitically or is there a threat that doing so could result in a devaluation?
Another thought? Is anyone interested in creating a social innovation coin or a redistribution coin? Let me know if anyone with means is thinking along these lines. I'd love to talk!
