Dinero for the unbanked - another first for DineroCoin project

in #dinero6 years ago (edited)

To start off, I would like to personally thanks the following individuals in making this happen:

These three wonderful individuals took the initiative in showcasing Dinero to Africans located in Ghana.

There were 53 Ghanaian participants who attended the CryptoCurrency meet-up and the response ended well. The participants also received a Dinero Airdrops.

Africa is one of the biggest market for CryptoCurrency projects due to a huge amount of people that are "Unbanked". In 2014, a staggering 66% of Sub-Saharan Africans did not have a bank account. Traditional banks are still struggling to reach the "unbanked" across Africa. With the fast rise of mobile devices across the region, African MNOs (Mobile Network Operators) took the advantage of creating mobile payment options a possibility.

"Dinero for the unbanked" breaks the boundaries of endless possibilities.

"As cryptocurrency and blockchain technology mature, and transaction costs are reduced, using cryptocurrency as a means of remittance may become a reality for many in Sub-Saharan Africa. Further, cryptocurrency and blockchain technology are gaining acceptance among African millennials who desire to not only use the technology but find ways to learn and innovate upon it. With the demand for cryptocurrency on the rise universally, and a growing base of millennials understanding the underpinnings of the technology, it is foreseeable that in the near future, cryptocurrency could very well be a solution for the unbanked in Sub-Saharan Africa." - source: https://www.covfinancialservices.com/2018/03/is-cryptocurrency-a-viable-solution-for-the-unbanked-in-africa/ (Is Cryptocurrency a Viable Solution for the Unbanked in Africa? - By Michelle Stewart and Robert Zhou)
