It’s been far too long since I’ve covered anything to do with Dash and after coming across an article explaining Dash’s free conferences in Venezuela I wanted to do what I could to give this more exposure.
Cryptocurrency changed my life, and I certainly don’t come from a country where the average monthly salary is now hovering around the $20-30 range.
I wanted to take the time to bring this project of theirs to light in the hopes of helping others get a chance to learn in person how crypto can be the difference between struggle and success.
I’ve always felt it was tragically ironic that the people in the countries who struggle most with corrupt governments and their warped financial policies and restrictions are the same people who need the benefits of cryptocurrency the most, yet they are perhaps the least informed about it.
From my own experience of traveling throughout East Africa and explaining to those whom I’ve met about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general, I’ve learned that many people are open to the idea, but the process of actually obtaining the crypto seemed daunting to them. So imagine my delight when I discovered that there was a proposal made to the Dash community by a woman named Eugenia.
She was granted funding by submitting a proposal to Dash’s Treasury.
Her idea is to host multiple free conferences designed for beginners that are scheduled in Venezuela. They’ve already stirred up a decent amount of interest with hundreds already signed up for the first conference in Caracas September 19th, and others requesting that their city be added to the roster.
I will also be interested to see how or if the Venezuelan government reacts to this new competitor of their native currency.
In addition to these conferences, here are some of the technological developments that Dash has planned for September of this year.
Dash 12.1 was released which connects the current Dash code to future Evolution releases.
Evolution will be a decentralized payments platform that is promising to have instant transactions with very low fees, and staying true to Dash’s vision of mass adoption, it is also promising to be user friendly. They’ve been working on developing Evolution for over a year and a half now. They are planning on the full release of Evolution to go public by June of 2018.
Keep an eye out for the alpha release of their DashPay Wallet that comes out this month. It will be more then just a web wallet, it will give you the ability to use the Instasend feature.
Be sure to check out the links below to learn more about their treasury proposal program, their updated roadmap, Evolution, and more wallet options.

Make a Proposal to Dash
Yeah I did a documentary on how central banking destroyed Venezuela, and they could certainly use crypto there as the criminals are pretty much everywhere and you need a backpack full of bolivar to buy anything. Good Luck.
Just a quick question why Dash of all currencies? Isn't Bitcoin the easiest to use, especially for people new to crypto?
That´s great news, Venezuela needs all the help they can get
Agreed. Good luck Venezuela. You're going to need it.
Hopefully, Cryptos help the Venezuelan people out of their government oppression. It would set an awesome example for people in other countries to follow.
Super Awesome! I see Dash taking over much of the crypto currency world right now due to the fact it addresses all of the issues other cryptos face right now.
did they fixed the scaling problem ? No, they didn`t. So they are facing the same problem as every blockchain is facing.
@heiditravels brings the BEST News and Information on Cryptos in 3-4 minutes. I Love how you do your videos in some of the most Beautiful locations around the World. STEEM ON Heidi !
this is so needed for the country, It seems currently they have some many problems. The President seeks to change the constitution and become a communist dictator, there is a resulting backlash on the scale of a small war, and food and resources are too expensive to afford for many. Crypto save the world
Thanks your videos are informative upvoted and resteemed

Great news. Thanks for sharing it @heiditravels. I hope this can be a "small step for crypto but a huge step for Venezuela". We really need this, even that many are not aware of the many blessings while handling or having crypto currencies. Personally, I give away as much info as I can everywhere. Today, while I was sending a package using DHL, as soon as they knew I was related to bitcoin somehow, they've started a conversation with many questions. There is a lot of people here just willing for good information. I really hope this may open many initiatives around Dash and every crypto currency in here.
Thanks for sharing!

Agradecido por la información @eugenialcala. Bienvenidas todas las iniciativas en torno a las cripto monedas para Venezuela. Nada puede ser mas vital y necesario!
Cuenta conmigo para hablar de Steemit, si cabe ese tema en alguna de las conferencias. Sería un verdadero placer para mí. Vamos a coordinarlo y con todo gusto, puedo estar presente para una de las conferencias.
Genial! No lo había contemplado dentro de los temas, pero queda mucho espacio para la colaboración. Si quieres escríbeme email a dashcaracas@gmail.com o a través de Facebook, Twitter o Instagram @dashcaracas y coordinamos algo. Saludos...
Awesome, Venezuelans would be very grateful for this big help. They really need it, I feel great to know there are people who worry about those who are living in that situation.
excelente

@isfar
I am a photographer too . I do post my original photographs on my steemit blog .
Thank you sharing this information and always being a good steward of the community!
This is great news for Dash and crypto in general. It really could be a game changer of the government embraces it there. Actually it will be a game changer anyways. As always, thanks for the fine reporting.
Hi Heidi. A greeting from Hong Kong. I can't agree with you anymore. Cryptocurrency is so important and a must learn knowledge nowadays. It's life changing, and actually it is changing our life no matter we accept it or not. I think people will give more attention to cryptocurrency as big countries start to do legislation on Bitcoin.
Looking forward to your next post. :)
The decentralized nature of crypcocurrencies in general is great for those who can't go to a bank or afford one. I also appreciate you posting the sources.
Thanks for this excellent post.
Love your posts! :) You bring a lot of people in to the cryptoworld with your vlog :)
Venezuela knows about bitcoin, the communist government on the island considers it "stealing from the people." They will shut you down if found. Given the cheap electricity costs it actually makes a lot of money there. I read one account of someone who had his computers confiscated by the government. After he was released his computers came back on-line one week later. (He knew this from special software installed.) (Presumable to mine bitcoin for the corrupt authorities.) While I do see benefits to promotion of cryptocurrencies in third world countries, getting the currency is likely the hardest thing. Like US dollars, as soon as the currency is made it leaves the country to buy desperately needed food and medicine. People are starving. Finding ways to hire people online and pay them via cypto-currency might be a better plan.
You have a good point,maybe is a good idea projects that promote the remote work and maybe use an alt coin based in ethereum for the payments, until the cost of transactions with bitcoins become lower
Yes, I agree with you. I'm from Venezuela and I still live here, and it's so sad that the salary is less than 20 or 30$. And work online or business that pay in dollars are the best solutions.
Very good)
I love seeing how cryptocurrencies are helping countries in need. I think cryptocurrencies will do more to help 3rd world countries and those that are struggling financially than the foreign aid that they are provided. Hopefully cryptos will be able to help these countries pick themselves up and thrive!
Wow you are coming to my country !! i hope we could meet each other, i could learn alot things from you
crypto currencies need to become more accessible to people on the ground... lets do business with the venezuelan people and not do business with any governments
!
Great post. I personally feel that dash has a huge potential and is going to surpass most altcoins and will be equal to bitcoin (even better maybe) at one point and hope it helps people like me who believe it does :P
Due to the failure in mutual trust between people and the country, cryptocurrency seems like become a good choice for their value of store.
Thanks for your news Heidi, keep going... you are doing well. Upvoted!
crypto currency has now reached the point of success, the result must have had a very bitter struggle in the past. some people do not think about the fight in the past, they just look at sekrang time, more on enjoying the results alone.
A very informative post on Dash. I haven't really pay any attention on DASH before. Will look on to it from now on. Thank's for the insightful post.
Very interesting vid!
I've tweeted it.

Hello, thank you for this video. We are the organizers of the Conferences in Caracas, Venezuela. Anyone can reach us through @dashcaracas in Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, or email, dashcaracas@gmail.com
Hey @heiditravels, thanks for helping to spread good Dash news! :)
Go @eugenialcala!!
Dash to the rescue! Keep making these great vids! Upvoted!
You should put in a proposal to the Dash Network, to do some news and updates. Perhaps fill the void that was left when Amanda b Johnson went on hiatus. I enjoy watching your videos and the quality and content of them continue to get better and better.
Ohh Yeah!!! This is necessary to get out of this time crisis, and to change economics paradigms!!! @heideitravels
es posible
es una pena llegar a ver como una cupula de politicos pueden llegar a destruir un pais completo...
Interesting exposure, except about the minimun wage, that is at 2-3$ , not 20-30$
I am impressed by your performance in steemit, congratulations! hugs and kisses from Venezuela!
