In an interview with the Thomson Reuters Foundation, Mahboob, a founder of the non-profit Digital Citizen Fund explained:

“It wasn’t feasible – or safe – to send cash to everyone, but mobile money wasn’t used as widely, and options like PayPal didn’t exist. Then we heard about bitcoin.”

Mahboob added that Bitcoin enables them to transact payments in a safer and easier way. “It was easy to use, cheaper and more secure than other options. So we taught the girls how to use it and began to pay our staff and contributors with it – we told them it was an investment for the future,” she said.

On the other hand, this is not the first time that the technology of Bitcoin has been recognized. The country of El Salvador is a very good example of a country that embraces the technology of Bitcoin. At the time of writing, Bitcoin trades at a bullish price of over $57k per crypto.
