Nice! What were the main take-aways?
We are so early? 😎
Nice water bottle, btw!
Hill tribe communities are being decimated by inflation and devastated by an economic system that doesn’t work for them. Incomes and salaries don’t keep pace with rising prices. These hilltop communities are already working at full capacity they simply can’t take on second jobs. Many are unbanked because banks don’t see them as good customers and refuse to open accounts. On top of that, predatory lending makes things even worse… thanks for the water bottle,. Visit us sometime.
My gf and I were just talking about the adoption curve and what it means to be late or early, etc... 30 seconds ago.
