Bitcoin in Afganistan... What a thought?!
Seems pretty self explanatory. Sure the country has its problems, but it does have an up and coming tech foundation, which could benefit from a cryptocurrency, whether it be for smart contracts or just money. The current system they have for accepting other currencies other than their own is extremely slow and can be very scary to use at times if you are you using a credit/debit card. Smart phones and Internet are not things they are short of here, so it it would be possible for transactions to happen here much more smoothly and faster than the current ancient method. The questions of bitcoin or any cryptocurrency falling in to the wrong hands and being used for bad are irrelevant,, that is already happening and its something that cant be controlled. In finish, this is nothing more than a rant as I sit here on my break at work here in afganistan. As I am living here for a good bit, I would like to see safer and faster method for aquire goods and gifts from the locals.
