How Bitcoin Helps Afghan Girls Achieve Financial Freedom!!
http://www.coindesk.com/how-bitcoin-helps-afghan-girls-achieve-financial-freedom/

It is amazing news, bitcoin reached even to Afghanistan, which is considered the most rural country in the world. It means bitcoin is on the path of its success.

That article is from 2014. It's good news, however I would not consider it "amazing news".

Reason is that these women do not earn their income at the free market. It's basically a charity NGO that is paying them. So the article is basically an advertisement for this specific NGO.

Amazing news would be, if these women would be selling their homemade goods for BTC on the free market. A model that would certainly work, since labor cost and cost of living are extremely low in Afghanistan. The only problem might be reliable shipping logistics, but that doesn't seem unsolvable if one is determined enough to get it working.

ya.ya.yo!

But I am here thinking for the spreading of the concept of bitcoin, bitcoin is a high technical currency to use it and Afghanistan which is considered as most rural got the concept of bitcoin. In the start no one will agree to accept bitcoin for their hard work as because of lack of knowledge they will consider it as the wasting of their hard work and the other thing is that they can easily search for another client which can pay them in their currency,(no matter how low than the bitcoin offer to them), but when they are offered for free they will accept and will try to understand it to get benefit from it and after learning about it, they will start loving it and will accept it for their work also.

What you told is correct but it is true that when they receive Bitcoin free then they will start to explore about bitcoin, but the news is so old long and after that their is not response then it means that Afghan woman are still not accepting bitcoin for any of their work. and still they are not comfortable to use bitcoin for their works.

Its a very wonderful news, bitcoin has began to spread positively to human being, i saw there is a charity using bitcoin

I think in the future bitcoin can become the answer to reducing poverty and help people to establish a better economic condition

I am not that impressed. This news is 2 years old and we didn't hear anything more about development of that Afghan bitcoin movement.
It might be a dead end to propagate bitcoin adoption in a country which has problems a lot worse than building bitcoin user base.

There is to a newer news on this topic from April this year. It seems as if the development is sustainable, although there are only a few projects so far. To have a major impact, it must be even more widespread in Afghanistan.

"Due to low literacy rate and high internet fees, about 10% of the 26 million population has internet access.[6] Services such as YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, and others are limited to the upper-middle-class youth in the major urban areas."--Wikipedia.

Good to see the news is ongoing with this. Bitcoin has the ability to do this globally for all the financially repressed.

if that was true,its mean bitcoin on afghanistan going well and have good holder there,i wish something like that much better and happen in some countries,its make us more confident to hold bitcoin,its also mean bitcoin can give many people good effect.

Bitcoin is helping Afghan Hound [and also girls] achieve financial independence.

Once the Afghan men hear about this, it will be all over for Bitcoin in Afghanistan. This is one of the countries, where Bitcoin will simply be banned.. because of the political implications it might have.

For one thing, most people believe that it was developed by the West... even though there is no evidence to back that up.. and we know, how they feel about the West. The other thing is... women are

not allowed a place in the sun, and Bitcoin will give them that freedom.. but the men {politicians} will not allow that.  ;) ....So give up on that idea... and let's just enjoy the technology that might just

change the financial world.  ;D

this only sounds like a good news but i think it is not as good as it sounds in reality and also has no effect on bitcoin whatsoever.

these people especially from third world countries doesn't have any computer knowledge and they do not care about bitcoin and even if they have some kind of income with bitcoin they are doing it with micro-jobs like surveys, faucets, PTC sites, ponzi schemes and all kinds of meaningless low paying jobs and will dump bitcoin as soon as they earn it to get the fiat.

it was great, but I do not think that's it. bitcoin even help us all, must be very many of us whose lives are completely changed to be making money from bitcoin right? we are people who were saved because bitcoin but never highlighted camera  ;D

Well, Bitcoin help not only Afghan girls. There r many contries in Africa and Asia where 100 $ is a month salary and it's just around 0.25 BTC and this money u can make pretty fast on the sites about bitcoins, like this forum or gamblig sites.

I have met to some afghan men on a money earning forum and I have noticed that they are accepting and using bitcoin for their purposes and they told that they do not have any difficulty in that,

So bitcoin is for all over the world anyone can adopt and use it, and that is the attractive feature of bitcoin which everyone love.

I don't think Bitcoin can be helpful for Afghan girls due to poor literacy rate and it can be complicated for Afghan people to use it like as normal fiat currency to improve their way of living, it would take a lot of time to rise awareness into developing countries about this revolution to change their lives.

if we see the article,its showing some girls active on internet,and its good news even afgan girls can access internet,and helpfull or not,at least bitcoin have touced critical country like afghanistan.

I dont think anything from 2014 can be called "news" but I think
anything that helps women in those middle eastern countries is
great

They treat women like crap there. Unfortunately I dont see anything can
be fixed in that country. It sad but Im just not seeing afghan culture changing
in the next 100 years if not ever.

I think in this part we can help some countries by donating bitcoins even $1 will be a great help to them. How many bitcoin users are there having $1 dollars on there bitcoin wallet. I guess 90% of it does. But i think some organization will put up to help does in need specially those women that have no food to eat or cant go to school. We can build school for them if we have unity.  ;D

I guess this is good news, and I think slowly bitcoin growth can help a lot of people who have economic problems in this world, I might be one of them  :)

Bitcoin is growing everyday and it's very good for us, many shops will see that and accept bitcoins as payment system, also goverments of different countries must understand that bitcoin is good.

Well, like you said... you met men on that forum, but where are the Afghan women? They cannot proclaim publically that they use Bitcoin... because they not allowed to have some freedom, like men

do in these countries. I also want EVERYONE to use Bitcoin, and this includes men and women and of ANY religion. If we promote something to the women in that country, it will be perceived as a

threat to their authority and against their religious believes, and this will lead them to banning the technology. They should decide on these things on their own... we can only help those people who

wants to be helped.

Yeah, you are also true, currently there is still much backwardness in Afghanistan.
Due to their ignorance they are banning girls/women to participate in the world affairs. I think it is because they have fear of their authority. they are of the view that if they allow them to participate then they will lose authority on them.
And for religious point of view, I will say that it is not because of their religious as there are a lot of other Islamic countries where females are allowed to participate in the world affairs even in Arab.

This is great news, and there are some really brave people out there who are willing to risk their lives in these countries to do this.... ;D

afghan girls are not so much education that they can use bitcoin. in some spacific cases its  ok but i think in gerneral it is not possible. because i personally visited to afghanistan for so many times.
