This is such exciting news @good-karma. I have actually just made a comment on a post by @dragosroua here, his posts talks about Marshal Islands issuing a National Cryptocurrency to function as legal tender.
My comment here talks about the popularity of M-Peza in Kenya, which is mobile phone minutes as currency.
I am finding it so fascinating that these countries that do not have very robust banking systems are embracing mobile technology and digital currencies as an alternative.
Cryptocurrency is creating a fairer playing field for millions/billions of people, giving them access to global currency, micro-finance and access to the global community. I love these stories.
