One of the things I love most about Steemit.com is the sites ability to help the people in the world who absolutely need it the most. When myself or someone who lives in A country using the Euro earns SBD or Steem, the value is very close to that of a dollar. We know exactly what the 1 Steem Power will buy in our economy. The added ease of acquiring BTC through American exchanges like Coinbase.com makes being a crypto coin investor/trader attractive to western civilizations.
Things are so much different if your looking through a lense from the perspective of a person from Venezuela, India, Africa, Mexico or other countries that have oppressive governments towards its people. How much money is trying to get into the crypto coin space from these countries and can't get in because of government regulations? How do you save yourself from governments who abruptly de monitize the value of state issued currency? How many corrupt bankers steal thier money so they never have a reasonable chance to get ahead for thier families?
The answer is these countries have citizens who really need Steemit.com because it's a way to help them get money in this market easily because they can earn Steem token to trade for BTC. Earning 1 Steem worth 1 dollar roughly.....that is 15-20 Pesos in Mexico which can go a long way for that individual. I feel for these people in these countries because they want opportunity and jobs just like the west does.
Keep this in mind when helping other Steemians in countries without a stable currency or government. Crypto coins are the only thing they have to protect the sweat they have dripped from thier brows, protect the family wealth they have and provide the sovereign freedom that every man deserves.
Sincerely,
The OG Broncnutz -
Let's go to make Steemit bigger!!!

As I always a pleasure to read you. Thanks a lot for Caring about our country.

I am from India and with reference to this post i would like to put my points as follows:-
(1) The recent demonetization in India has really made heavy demand of BTC in India and in some cities like Bangalore some retail shops have started accepting BTC.
(2) In India BTC may not be a regulated currency, yet not illegal either.
(3) In comings day BTC will get more popularity in India, not only because of the own popularity of BTC but also because of heavy population which otherwise become a raw material in terms of supply/demand for BTC
(4) @broncnutz has rightly pointed the good aspects of BTC here.
Thanks

In India, a lot of people (those who have got black money ) have already started converting their wealth to bitcoin, most of the people who have a got a lot of cash are, in fact not aware of the bitcoin, so they have not switched yet, that is why they have switched to gold only, once they know properly about bitcoin and its potential, then definitely they will opt for bitcoin.

Hey @broncnutz,
I found you here on Steemit because of this post. This topic is so important! I have some Twitter followers from India, so I am promoting @firepower's Steemit event in Bangalore on my Twitter channel.
I have some followers from South American countries. If anyone knows who the best Venezuelan bloggers here on Steemit are, feel free to reply. I'd like to follow them.
Again this topic is important, glad you wrote about it. Following you now as a result.

Thank you for noticing me and taking the time to read what if have to say. I deeply understand Cryptos and how powerful they are to the whole world. If I lived in an oppressive country (I kinda really do) I would be doing backflips at the ability to have a legit "side hustle" where I could earn free Bitcoin (after conversion of course BTC/steem). Then stash it on a Trezor hardware wallet and tell the govt to pound sand. It's absolutely brilliant and Steemit is gonna disrupt social media like BTC is doing to the banks and the paper mache, rigged gold & silver market. People in these countries should be piling into Steemit in mass numbers soon.

Thank you so much for spreading the word for Venezuela, we definitely need it, as jon says in the top of the comments, at first we are attracted to money, but then you realize that steemit is much more than that, it has great people inside it with a lot of talent to offer. I am enjoying the most of my time here, connecting with people around the world, new friends with whom to share my stories. I am totally pleased. Greetings and thanks again!

We here in the states take soooo much for granted. If only more Americans were aware of just how dicey our fiat $ situation is they'd be a touch more weary... or maybe not?

This year in tunisia, Paypal was Trying to get into my country, paypal wanted to offer full financial freedom to tunisians but our government wanted to have a commission from every transaction and tunisians can only send money to people who lives in tunisia, so paypal refused that and now we have to wait 5 more years until paypal comes back to renegotiate. Steemit offers us the financial freedom that we don't have, Trust me if my government finds out about steemit they'll somehow find a way to take commission or they might as well block it.
I'm going to spread the word about steemit here, and the government can't do a thing about it .

True, steem is worth much in underdeveloped/developing countries especially when you look at the conversion rates. I guess as the value grows it would also be of great benefit to those with stable currencies.

Yeah, I've often thought about that because I lived in India for four months. The exchange rate was VERY favorable to the $US but obviously not the other way around. So if they could get jobs in the US, they were able to send a lot of money back to support their relatives, and even branch into real estate, etc. Same concept with Steemit, only they don't even have to leave the country! That's awesome, and only fair that more value moves into second and third world countries. Cheers to this platform!

In some corrupt nation where money is being robbed and used by top leaders or ministers than cryptocurrency is the only secure source of money for them.
