jamaica still runs on western union and moneygram for a lot of families. fees are 5-8%, transaction takes days, and the sender needs to be physically present somewhere. bitcoin.rocks has the human rights section but the remittance category is the one that lands hardest in the caribbean.
one thing that might strengthen the site: real dollar-cost comparisons by corridor. not "bitcoin is better" — actual numbers. $200 sent jamaica-to-family via western union costs $X, arrives in Y days. same $200 via Flash/Lightning: $0, 2 seconds. that's the converter that turns skeptics into stackers.
you've got something real here. 55k stickers is a lot of boots on ground.
the remittance angle is what gets me every time.
