LEVERAGING ON THE DISRUPTIVE POWER OF THE BLOCKCHAIN IN POVERTY STRICKEN REGIONS OF THE WORLD

in #blockchain6 years ago

A Slum

There are places on the planet you and i could not last up to minutes talk less of hours, but people live an survived in this horrible places and to emphasize on their willpower to live through everyday without breaking into pieces would be filled with exaggerations. A fact remains that, not all of this people wish to be in this conditions; but there are things that are more than human understandings.

It was a hopeless situation before, now there seems to be a glimpse of hope for these citizens of the World like you and I- The Blockchain Technology.

Before the Blockchain, there was Forex trading and stock trading that had been over centuries old; but just a few fraction of the World Population have the basic knowledge on how it works and hence just a few benefits from it- The Rich gets richer by employing the Knowledgeable ones in this field to trade for them and the poor gets poorer. Then came the Blockchain with equal/slightly balanced opportunity for all and sundry i.e. Both the Poor and the Rich benefits from it, though the rich still seems to make more out of this, but there is a greater chance for the common citizens as well.

Across the World, millions of people are living below "poverty-line"; that is, people who finds it hard to get a meal talk less of basic amenities like Health and welfare packages. To these people, a dollar or two at hand is a great deal to them; making over five dollars per day is a turning point in most of these lives in the slums and poverty regions of the World. Here are some ways i have compiled for the poor to earn and benefits from the Blockchain with zero investment.

AIRDROPS

Every new project or token on the Blockchain technology always distribute bounties, this might not be true for the over 1600 tokens trading but most of these projects share free tokens referred to as "Airdrops" after a few instructions/steps has been followed. The beauty of this is that, it requires little or zero skills; all that is needed is an internet enabled device- a smart-phone or a computer, and a cryptowallet to keep these given tokens till they are exchangeable to Eth or Btc which are the popular means to convert to fiat(Local Currency). Also, a good source of information is very important to know about these free token give-away on daily basis.

BLOCKCHAIN BLOGGING

This could apply with people who has a bit of education and writing skills or artistic skills, a good writing and drawing skills with a good communication and relational skills could earn anyone tangible amount of means of living. One of the places where this skills could be needed is STEEMIT, a place where people earn by blogging and interacting with each other. Other places includes Nexus, Appics, Sola etc. Although some of this site mentioned are still in development phase, but it is worth a shot to try.

ICOs- Initial Coin Offerings

This requires a bit of funding, that is; for people who owns a little and could afford to invest it. It is extremely advisable not to get a loan no matter how small to invest in Cryptocurrencies especially the ones just coming up/in its initial offering stages. But for individuals who could afford to take the risk; investment in ICOs could yield much more interest than what was invested into it and hence making you richer.

PLEASE NOTE

The first two has zero risks because it just requires you to take actions, fill out some forms on the internet and refer more people to come on board with you then you earn something. However, it is important to note that willpower is also a force to reckon with; only those who will it,earn it!
