RE: Polish Visas To Steemfest 3 Denied 😏
Coffee, sugar (sugarcane), gold, diamond, crude oil - most of these come from the tagged third 🌍 countries yet they are the most restricted. What a coincidence!!!
While these countries have the most resources on the planet, they have been reduced, restricted, ridiculed through the power of the media, and psychologically defeated, their visionary leaders murdered, exiled, or bought.
Who said there’s no such thing as being Privileged?
Let’s save the rest for later.
To those organising crypto related fest/meet-ups/conference, it will be great to host those in places where the true essence of decentralisation will be appreciated.
@wafrica 👏🏽 for the positive attitude.

It's quite sad.
An idea would be to kick off a parallel conference over there. For example in West Africa, everyone can travel across boarder without Visa requirement. Accra would be the perfect place to hold one - its right in the middle and easy to get to. Dakar, Abuja, Freetown .. all awesome locations.
Maybe it's time to just take matters into your own hands and leave behind the governments of the world and their institutions. It's hard, but maybe a first step would be to organise locally. That's what Steem is about after all.
It's so sad, it would be nice to meet all those WAfrica Steemians. I was looking forward to meeting ejemai at the London Cryptocurrency Show earlier this year too.
