RE: The CryptoManiacs Podcast - Episode 158 w/ Brian of London

in LeoFinance4 years ago

Thaaanks for inviting @brianoflondon once again, @jongolson! He's definitely a vivid image of Hive: simultaneously humble, utterly creative & embodying sharism.

I didn't know that v4v had been used a lot to help Cubans after the latest hurricane. A question: the sats they receive there (from Hive or HBD) is it cashable out of a bank, directly in Cuban territory?

@manuphotos can probably tell us more. @cubees is the account that has collected quite a bit of cash and has been posting on Twitter about what they've done with the case.

Yes, we have been doing everything through @cubees account that is run by @noakmilo (my right hand and friend) and we also have this thread in Twitter with everything we have done ~~~ embed:1575943499769602049?s=46&t=ZRHcBjXXfNB-xd8AHr0WUA twitter metadata:bm9ha21pbG98fGh0dHBzOi8vdHdpdHRlci5jb20vbm9ha21pbG8vc3RhdHVzLzE1NzU5NDM0OTk3Njk2MDIwNDl8 ~~~

Hello, I'm the promotor of the donation campaign. The process is easy, we take the Sats and convert it to local money in P2P platforms. We never use banks or something official way because it's controlled by the regime and it have abusive conversion rates. We use free market rates provided by people.

¡Fantástico, @noakmilo!

Acá tampoco uso banco, a pesar de que no estén controlados por el régimen político - son ellos quienes controlan lo político, jeje, así que llega a ser lo mismo.

Es bueno saber eso, voy a tratar de seguir tus publicaciones, por si puedo darles eco en mis redes.

¡Muchísimas gracias, sería de gran ayuda! ya te sigo.

I really dont know as I have no knowledge of how the Cuban banking systems work.

No problem! Probably Brian will bring some more light on that (as I suppose it's not as easy in Cuba as here, in El Salvador, to spend BTC sats for groceries, for example).

Hi, yes it is, thanks to p2p markets we are able to convert not only bitcoin but other cryptos too into fiat
