https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=616845.0I've seen this story posted several times here already, but it is a really inspiring way bitcoin can help people who need it the most. I really hope it excels in these sorts of countries and the remittance market.

This is one of the larger reasons I love bitcoin. From the devaluation of fiat currencies to the borderline criminal remittance fees charged to impoverished nations, Bitcoin has the capability to dissolve much of the exploitation of the less fortunate.

Yeah, it's an industry where bitcoin could grow massively, but I only hope it isn't capitalized on by unscrupulous people who will start charging ridiculous fees to transfer the coins back into fiat. |

These are some of the countries with very large expat population, which could make use of Bitcoins to reduce the fees and commissions.
1. Philippines (workers in Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Middle East, USA.etc)
2. India (USA, Middle East, South East Asia)
3. Pakistan (Middle East)
4. Tajikistan (Russia)
5. Mexico (USA).

Nothing safer than a smartphone with backdoors. Goodluck with that. |

Remittance payments should have less charge on fees - James Angelo is a great spokes person. *** 5stars video ***

Yes.... overall, the fee should be in the range of 1-2%, and not in the range of 8-15% which companies such as Western Union and Moneygram charge. But at the same time, fee should be same for all the transactions. We can't give special discounts to remittance payments. |
