RE: Unravelling The Charity Thread...

it’s kinda cool seeing how Steemit plays a role in transferring wealth across borders

Yes! There's on guy in particular that I follow who lives in Venezuela where they're dealing with crippling hyper-inflation. (That's something that most of us in the world who deal with fiat currency will likely experience soon.) He actually makes enough by doing small posts to help his family. Even with the price of Steem down to where it is, it's still a meaningful amount of money to him. And it's not like it's being given to him for free. He's providing a service by giving on-the-ground reporting from inside Venezuela from the perspective of someone who lives there. There's someone who helps facilitate him getting currency in exchange for his Steem, but it's awesome to see Steemit actually adding to his life that way.

He hasn't posted in a little while, but his account is @jjuuaanchoo if you're interested.

This is a success story. 👌🙏

You made an excellent summary of what happens in my country and how steemit helps me @themanwithnoname One of the problems of living in Venezuela is the lack of a quality internet service, in my house there has not been for a few months so I must take advantage of my free time in my work to review steemit.
I did not know @rok-sivante but from now on I start to follow it I see that it has very interesting content

Thanks, I'm glad it was a good summary. Sorry your internet has been so spotty. I'm glad you're still around. :)
