Dash is Going to Venezuela
It’s been far too long since I’ve covered anything to do with Dash and after coming across an article explaining Dash’s free conferences in Venezuela I wanted to do what I could to give this more exposure.
Cryptocurrency changed my life, and I certainly don’t come from a country where the average monthly salary is now hovering around the $20-30 range.
I wanted to take the time to bring this project of theirs to light in the hopes of helping others get a chance to learn in person how crypto can be the difference between struggle and success.
I’ve always felt it was tragically ironic that the people in the countries who struggle most with corrupt governments and their warped financial policies and restrictions are the same people who need the benefits of cryptocurrency the most, yet they are perhaps the least informed about it.
From my own experience of traveling throughout East Africa and explaining to those whom I’ve met about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general, I’ve learned that many people are open to the idea, but the process of actually obtaining the crypto seemed daunting to them. So imagine my delight when I discovered that there was a proposal made to the Dash community by a woman named Eugenia.
She was granted funding by submitting a proposal to Dash’s Treasury.
Her idea is to host multiple free conferences designed for beginners that are scheduled in Venezuela. They’ve already stirred up a decent amount of interest with hundreds already signed up for the first conference in Caracas September 19th, and others requesting that their city be added to the roster.
I will also be interested to see how or if the Venezuelan government reacts to this new competitor of their native currency.
In addition to these conferences, here are some of the technological developments that Dash has planned for September of this year.
Dash 12.1 was released which connects the current Dash code to future Evolution releases.
Evolution will be a decentralized payments platform that is promising to have instant transactions with very low fees, and staying true to Dash’s vision of mass adoption, it is also promising to be user friendly. They’ve been working on developing Evolution for over a year and a half now. They are planning on the full release of Evolution to go public by June of 2018.
Keep an eye out for the alpha release of their DashPay Wallet that comes out this month. It will be more then just a web wallet, it will give you the ability to use the Instasend feature.
Be sure to check out the links below to learn more about their treasury proposal program, their updated roadmap, Evolution, and more wallet options.

Make a Proposal to Dash
Yeah I did a documentary on how central banking destroyed Venezuela, and they could certainly use crypto there as the criminals are pretty much everywhere and you need a backpack full of bolivar to buy anything. Good Luck.
Just a quick question why Dash of all currencies? Isn't Bitcoin the easiest to use, especially for people new to crypto?
That´s great news, Venezuela needs all the help they can get
Agreed. Good luck Venezuela. You're going to need it.
Hopefully, Cryptos help the Venezuelan people out of their government oppression. It would set an awesome example for people in other countries to follow.
Super Awesome! I see Dash taking over much of the crypto currency world right now due to the fact it addresses all of the issues other cryptos face right now.
did they fixed the scaling problem ? No, they didn`t. So they are facing the same problem as every blockchain is facing.
@heiditravels brings the BEST News and Information on Cryptos in 3-4 minutes. I Love how you do your videos in some of the most Beautiful locations around the World. STEEM ON Heidi !
this is so needed for the country, It seems currently they have some many problems. The President seeks to change the constitution and become a communist dictator, there is a resulting backlash on the scale of a small war, and food and resources are too expensive to afford for many. Crypto save the world
Thanks your videos are informative upvoted and resteemed

Great news. Thanks for sharing it @heiditravels. I hope this can be a "small step for crypto but a huge step for Venezuela". We really need this, even that many are not aware of the many blessings while handling or having crypto currencies. Personally, I give away as much info as I can everywhere. Today, while I was sending a package using DHL, as soon as they knew I was related to bitcoin somehow, they've started a conversation with many questions. There is a lot of people here just willing for good information. I really hope this may open many initiatives around Dash and every crypto currency in here.
Thanks for sharing!

Awesome, Venezuelans would be very grateful for this big help. They really need it, I feel great to know there are people who worry about those who are living in that situation.
