"Speaking is their only hope left." Venezuela is in a lot of problems, we all know this, but how can we make them use cryptocurrency if many do not have access smartphones?

CoinText is a good start. But it doesn't help anyone who has no computer and no phone. Really no technology at all. I wonder if a physical semi-offline solution is possible.

Could do a thing with paper wallets. Would be a good business for anyone with the tech to load the wallets, like an ad hoc bank teller.

I do wonder what we can do? Donations of old smartphones from the western world? Maybe start a donation program where each smartphone activated to receive monthly 2 USD in crypto/BCH?

Maybe using radio transmitters? Something like what local city mesh networks are trying to use? No cell service, internet etc. Just radio passing along a signed tx and checking for new

But what do they use to interact with the coin?
replied 2166d
No clue. I'd assume that the radio transmissions would be translated and sent through the internet once they reached an endpoint with connectivity. I'm just spitballing ideas.
