It's awesome that businesses there are opening their doors to crypto. I think the point of crypto is to replace fiat so Hodling all the time is counter-active.

Well... So far it's only me (that I know of) here in SA... but I've got enough mates that I can convince to experiment with it too.

Lucky you to get to spend steem at a high exchange rate.

This is true... but unfortunately it also means that initially investing in STEEM costs us a lot of fiat. ... but yes... long-term it works in our favour.
