Bitcoin Kampala Uganda on Nostr: Getting visas & crossing airports as an Ugandan 🇺🇬 is draining and it’s funny ...
Getting visas & crossing airports as an Ugandan 🇺🇬 is draining and it’s funny am getting used to it.
I get special security treatment & checks, my documents are verified by multiple people with laser scrutiny, I have to provide financial proof sometimes 😂
The origin of my passport automatically dictates my treatment!
In trying to pay for a last minute flight online (Travala didn’t have the particular flight, would have used #Bitcoin), my personal & business bank cards were rejected, though I had more than enough fiat there.
I only got to book through studentofbitcoin (npub1f7p…nerm) ’s American Express card & instantly got a verification call directly from the US 😆 - the gentleman asked if I was for real!
It’s these small things that remind me of why #Bitcoin is important, especially the inbuilt financial isolation of the Majority South.
#Bitcoin is identity blind🧡
