1/4 Some existing #Bitcoin wallets have features to reduce bandwidth, but more effort in this direction is needed for 'mobile-only' computer users that currently rely on custodial web wallets.
.@remyers_ notes that bitcoin's usefulness in extreme situations depends on mobile-compatible systems with low bandwidth requirements. As little as 2 MB per week could be enough for many users to use bitcoin as money. Read the technical details here: medium.com/open-money-initia…

Few people research Bitcoin as thoroughly as @MattAhlborg. If you have ever mentioned Venezuela in the same breath as crypto/bitcoin/adoption, you need to read his latest work with @makeopenmoney.
Electrical blackouts show how Bitcoin activity in all of Latin America is tied to Venezuela. Read my latest research on utility use of Bitcoin published under @makeopenmoney medium.com/open-money-initia…
