Yes I agree. Absolutely. But Bitcoin also solves indirectly that problem. Big companies and governments stay in power because of fiat. If chinese people use Bitcoin, then I think it could be possible that the regime power would be diminished alot.
Helping children in congo is a good cause. It would make alot of progress. But even when not doing so, Bitcoin already causes progress indirectly.
Also, we need infrastructure in order to facilitate digital payments. This is entirely possible, if they have a reliable energy source.
But how can we prevent "boating accidents" where the children accidentally or under pressure, lose access to their wealth? I don't think that it is safe to let them earn wealth in an oppressive environment. If the bosses don't want them to earn something, don't expect them to let them earn in usdt or something. We have too little insight into what is going on their.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_V3bIzNX4co here is some insight. There is a southern Congolese town called Kolwesii, Where the Coltan ore is brought to market. There are Congolese workers negotiating with Chinese buyers. Many locals come to pick the scraps after hours when the mine is closed. The Chinese corporations own the mines, They are purchasing from Swiss owners for supply chain on all technological products. Shenzhen is where almost all tech production takes place. The Swiss and Chinese have owned African resources behind the scenes for a very long time now. Bitcoin is providing an avenue for people to overcome corporate oppression, But actually going to places suffering from extreme poverty and providing resources for Bitcoin education is the first step. There is a Bitcoin mine in the north of the Congo that employs Congolese workers, And somehow drawing a connection between these local bitcoin mine workers and the coltan miners is the missing step.
