I think Bitcoin needs to fix generational poverty in the Congo, Where children carry bags of coltan used to make batteries and microprocessors for 200$ a month. Demanding payment from the Chinese mineral buyers in tether and teaching the local people to pair trade USD-T and Bitcoin would push lots of privilege down to the people doing literally the most work for the Bitcoin revolution.

Yes I agree. Absolutely. But Bitcoin also solves indirectly that problem. Big companies and governments stay in power because of fiat. If chinese people use Bitcoin, then I think it could be possible that the regime power would be diminished alot. Helping children in congo is a good cause. It would make alot of progress. But even when not doing so, Bitcoin already causes progress indirectly. Also, we need infrastructure in order to facilitate digital payments. This is entirely possible, if they have a reliable energy source. But how can we prevent "boating accidents" where the children accidentally or under pressure, lose access to their wealth? I don't think that it is safe to let them earn wealth in an oppressive environment. If the bosses don't want them to earn something, don't expect them to let them earn in usdt or something. We have too little insight into what is going on their.
