It's exciting to see someone has already implemented this idea of providing access to loans through Bitcoin, removing barriers like location, credit history, and social biases. As someone deeply interested in Bitcoin and its potential to empower underserved communities, this resonates with me on a personal level.I recently wrote an article about how Bitcoin microloans, accessed via USSD, could transform the lives of Kenyan tea farmers by giving them affordable credit through basic mobile phones without needing the internet. Seeing such concepts being implemented globally makes me believe that what I envisioned is not just a dream but something that can actually happen. It's inspiring to see how Bitcoin can bridge financial gaps and empower people worldwide, including in rural areas like those in Kenya.

Thank you for taking the time to read and share your thoughts!

I agree that this is exciting! I do care about Bitcoin's potential to help underserved communities.

Please share a link to the piece you wrote. I'd love to read it. I'm excited to learn if this microloan system works via Machankura.

If I can get approval to publish this in Bitcoin Magazine, would you be interested in co-publishing it if I helped you with it a bit?

I'm glad to hear you'll post it here.

I was once new to writing, as well, and this is where I started. Thinking about writing here more as an experiment than anything else. If you commit to writing twice a week, I think you'll be surprised at how much you learn in the process.

I'm honored to hear that!
