RE: The Blockchain and Fish - Atieno's Story
I think it's a great idea. The whole principle behind blockchain is decentralization which is what is needed in Atieno's situation. In our area of the world concepts like the Grameen Bank were implemented to help empower rural women. To have a blockchain based equivalent everyone will need to have a device that can access the blockchain. Everyone will also need to have a consensus on the system. It'll take some time and a few hurdles to actually get working, but it's a great initiative. Blockchain technology should be used for social change!
Using USSD still anyone can access the blockchain, as a user you just input a code into your mobile device, a proxy receives the request and posts it into the blockchain network, a response is sent to the proxy which relays back to the user that is you. Irrespective of your device the blockchain network can still be accessible, but it's still a work in progress.
