Crypto Dip - Sad time in Africa

When you're born here life is just naturally difficult.
From lawless and corrupt government to worse police force to the worst... Fucking power companies.
Everything here is just designed to bring you down. And keep you there.

Most youths stay 3-8 years unemployed after graduating from the University. Many turn to menial jobs. Some to crime and internet fraud. A few try to be innovative and delve into business ventures. Only 1 in 50 succeeds.

Cryptocurrency came as a shining light at the end of the tunnel. Something to inspire those who could read and and write.

Steemit for example, was supposed to be about "quality content". Meaning if you did your research well or applied your creativity, you could get rewarded.

Now to most of the members here, $1 means nothing. To the Africans, it means a lot. That casual $70 that some circle-jerkers get for uploading a picture of fucking umbrellas is enough to send people to college over here.

But your money is your money and you can do whatever you like with it.

This post is a rant about how some selfish people either milk or run pump and dump schemes on communities or the world(Tether??) and let the lowly minnow suffer for their indiscretions.
