RE: Steemit Zimbabwe Born Today. Our Memoirs: Part 1 (Foreword )
I spoke at a Bitcoin conference in Harare back in November and I tried to get people there to join Steemit back then. Glad to see there is momentum all these months later. Here are three of the people I met at the conference:
Zimbabwe financial crisis is tough for digital currency startups to kick off.Banks are failing
to honour payments locally and internationally which makes liquidity crunch the norm of the day.
The downside has a merit when it comes to digital currency adoption which has seen many corporates trying to
avert this crisis by using crypto currencies.Tawanda kembo is our friend and we look forward working
together since he is also on steemit and encouraging us so much.He even offered a venue for
steemians to do meetups.
During such a time like this, ordinary writers and bloggers can find a safe haven in steemit.Bank are
closing and financial systems are crushing which leaves little room to any fiat solutions to take off.
This is rippling across Africa as well.
The summer school is a great idea to get people and users understand digital currencies.A framework that is solid is needed to give a support base to new users .To help them until they get used to such platforms and how they work.There is a lot of groundwork we are doing to use different ways to recruit newbies and train them while slowly inducting them.
steemit is a social network which offers a less technical interface which most users find easy to use, post and curate thus earning a living while blogging.
As a writer we are encouraged by the influx of writers we are getting using social media platforms e.g twitter, facebook, linkedin, instagram, youtube, whatapp etc to mobilise users to get to know more about steemit and other platforms.
Our Chatroom officially recently opened a few days ago will be hosted on discord so we assist others while we do our work on steemit. The link is : https://discord.gg/zrnymkk

Thank you Adam for your support and interest in Zimbabwe.We look forward meeting you again in another steemit summer school.
