I'm not a big DeFi booster, but I don't think that's true. All it takes is a mobile phone. There's some pretty compelling videos coming out of El Salvador showing just how easy it is to instantly transact Bitcoin between two people simply by scanning a QR code on the other person's phone and then sending a Lightning Network transaction. This is already reality on the ground, and seemingly more accessible than getting access to credit.

- gowld 5y agoHow is that different from M-Pesa or Venmo? The difference is that no one has shown up yet in that particular location to set those up, but someone did come set up Bitcoin infra in El Salvador. Still, the ease of spending crypto in El Salvador, great as it is, does not prove it's safe and that everyone won't get hacked and robbed.
