Adoption of BCH in Catia.
CriptoCatia is a project created with the purpose of promoting the use of Blockchain technology and Cryptocurrencies, to all sectors of the population, that is, it is not only for young people or only for merchants or entrepreneurs, it is for everyone in general. because from the public or private worker they can make use of these technological tools that can facilitate their day to day, grandparents play a fundamental role since it may be more difficult for them since they have lived through almost all the evolution of the media payment and how complicated Technology can be for them, and if they can learn because their children and grandchildren cannot, they would probably be transmitting their crypto adoption DNA to all their relatives.
This project was born in an old and populous community called "Catia" that is located in Caracas capital of Venezuela, a young entrepreneur named Hampherny Rico is the founder. Basically the idea of ​​this project occurs because this young man the first time he was able to read information about Cryptocurrencies was in 2016 but it was not until 2018 that he began to use and work with them, because in his community there were no businesses that would accept Cryptocurrencies, he wanted to be the first to do so by accepting different Cryptoactives in his small business of selling food and groceries, noting that there were very few people who had knowledge about this subject, that is to say that there was a need on the part of the population to know this new payment method, was that it was decided to create "CriptoCatia" thus being a pioneer since at that time there was no other project that carried out the same work.
Through social networks we have disseminated didactic information about the most basic of Blockchain Technology and Cryptocurrencies in order to instill or sow in people the liberating nature for which the first Crypto was born in 2009, we also organize online and face-to-face meetings totally free for people close to you and help them create their first wallet and show them the different platforms to invest with fiat in this case with BolÃvares, which is the fiduciary currency of Venezuela. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, which affected us a lot because we had to close the store and hand over the premises, as well as suspend all face-to-face activities with which we were achieving our first objective, this slowed us down and also emptied our funds very quickly. Despite all this bad experience we have not stopped promoting through social networks and talking to people about the benefits of using this new technology.
Months ago our founder had the opportunity to speak with a person who offered to promote the adoption of a great Cryptocurrency called Bitcoin Cash, which after studying this great project we have come to the conclusion that it has all the characteristics to be used as a method of payment that is very easy to use, instant and with the lowest commissions of all Cryptocurrencies, that is to say that Bitcoin Cash is the real digital cash that Satoshi Nakamoto talks about in the bitcoin white paper, perhaps he never thought that to become the best P2P would have to be a hard fork, but thanks to it today we have Bitcoin Cash that ticks all the boxes.
Catia is a high-volume market where you can buy any food or thing you want with the advantage that you can buy it at the lowest prices in all of Caracas. In this market there are more than 10,000 formal businesses and not counting the informal merchants that flood the streets of Catia day by day, people from different sectors of Caracas and other nearby states come to Catia to make their purchases because of its reputation for being cheap and for offering the best quality food and products.
We want to merge Blockchain Technology and Cryptocurrencies to the traditional commerce of this community, because let's imagine that each formal and informal merchant can accept payments from their wallet, this will increase adoption and will be an example for other sectors of Caracas and Venezuela. And we believe that there is no better Cryptocurrency than Bitcoin Cash to carry out this adoption with the bitcoin.com platform.
We have already added several Catia businesses to the Bitcoin Cash Ecosystem and the owners have expressed their gratitude and great interest in accepting Cryptocurrencies as a new payment method in their stores, due to the few resources we have, we have taken this adoption to a pace a bit slow, but we have seen that through the flipstarter campaign we can raise funds for our project and take the adoption to another level and achieve our main goal of making Catia a BCH Zone.
This video is of one of the purchases we have made in different stores, after explaining to the merchants how to use the bitcoin.com wallet. If you want to know more about our adoption work in Catia and other sectors of Caracas, support us with a small contribution and follow our social networks and you can also enter the WhatsApp and Telegram communities where we publish educational information about Blockchain and Cryptocurrencies. And also how easy it is to use Bitcoin Cash. We are preparing our flipstarter campaign, let us know if you would support us to finance our project.
