Firstly I want to thank steem for giving us an opportunity as us Africans to know about cryptocurrency and am sure 80% of the people
of the people from Africa on this platform did not know about cryptocurrency personally I just knew the word bitcoin since I had come across it from Ian Balina book" how to make 6 digits in your 20's" but I didnot know what Bitcoin is I looked at it as something complexed.
Steem is really providing value for cryptocurrency I mean people are participating,everywhere we go we are talking about steem with friends ,relatives and family which is strengthening friendships and now we are all together
It has been long since most African countries benefited from cryptocurrency but now is the time to bless Africa
There is complete transparency and accountability of transactions especially that there are no charges when transacting. African banks charge almost 9% for a bank transfer which is not fair but no options but we are happy now with steem no such charges and we believe that as steem grows we will transfer out side Uganda can you believe here in Uganda we now trade SBDs between ourselves . This will eliminate the bank Robbers in Africa
Most Ugandans are now involved in steem and earning themselves without investments
Steem is not only for the rich but for every one who can access internet then you check how steem works because no risks are involved ,no strings attached so it is so simple that the Ugandans have a chance to experiment the network thus experimenting new ideasIt is creating gender balance in Uganda. We all know in Africa women are given less opportunities but with steem we have so many chances of succeeding and it excites me to see women on the trending page and constantly contributing to the community by the way it is easier for women to understand steem than other cryptocurrency
conclusion
Am so excited about steem and I believe in a matter of time it will be a number one cryptocurrency because of its worth. It needs us to make an effort to make steem a number one cryptocurrency through promoting it alot and explaining to the people about steem
