RE: Steem Solving Real-Life Problems | Life on Less Than $2 a Day
I think Steem can help so many people and communities ! It is without fees and instant, just a simple thing like transferring money from a country to another is so easier.
A lot of poor countries have diaspora in richer ones where they have relatives working and sending money back to « home ». One of the only secure way they know how to do it is through Wester Union, they charge up to 15% in commissions !
Imagine if they had steem accounts ?
If the Steem community came together on this, we could market the platform as a free-alternative to WU and other money transfer services. We would need how to figure out how to build an interface for the platform for this type of transaction, but I think it's doable.
Thanks for your feedback!
