I'm hodling Bitcoin for a some time now, but never really used it too much, but lately I have an occasion to use and see with my own use the empowering power of Bitcoin.I was hitchhiking in Iran last year and made a really good friend there. We quickly became really good friends, and he especially impressed me with his ambition and diligence. He's one of the most hardworking guys I've met, being the head of the family while being only 25 years old (he, his sister and mother had to leave their father, so he's the main income source in the family). To provide for the family he did more than 30 types of job (I'm not shitting you), he was a teacher, saleseman, he had his own ecommerce, a mechanic, many more! He's biggest dream is to leave Iran, since there's no future there.He self-taught himself some programming skills (don't know which languages) and managed to get paid internship in Italian IT company. But he had a problem that he couldn't open an Euro account so they were not able to send him his salary. That's when I came up with an idea of transferring his salary to Bitcoin, which he can easily change to Iranian Rial. I introduced him to the idea of Bitcoin, explained how the whole process look like and here we go - that's what we do for 2 months already! I receive the euro transfer from his company, sell it to Bitcoin, and he receives it the same day.Bitcoin is the reason he has access to his well deserved money.Many of us have friends in the areas of the world touched by financial marginalization. Some of them may not be aware that there's a way for their financial freedom. Ask them if they don't need help and tell them what you personally can do to help (if there's mutual trust among you of course). Don't ever forget that Bitcoin is not (only) about ATHs and profits.
