This is a woman who lives alone, her pension is barely enough and she gets paid to take the few products from the market to the neighbors.

The courage of this woman to continue on is admirable, on the other hand it is quite unfortunate but that is life, if we do not take care of ensuring our retirement through our savings or hard assets acquired during the process of our productive life, what awaits us is working until the end of days.
W. Buffett already said "If we do not find a way to generate income while we sleep, we will work until the day we die"
Thanks to Bitcoin, today we can say that it is possible to work to ensure a pension for our old age.

She is the result of inflation. The salary she earned when she was working was decent at the time, when she retired the calculations were made with that salary as a base but with inflation she is without a means.
Before the whole disaster happened my salary was 1500 pesos, being a professional, after the economic disaster began I had a salary of 5560 pesos, now it is 8000 pesos, that lady's pension is barely 1300 pesos. Inflation killed her sweat. Of course if we were paid in Bitcoin that would not happen.
I wish people understood this and did not have Bitcoin Disorder Syndrome. Here are a few.

Where you live now in Peru are there people who are interested in bitcoin? With the prices you listed the other day for food, maybe others you know could benefit from Stacker News? It seems like it could help out for emergencies like this.

@siggy47 what happens is that 2 posts were published almost simultaneously. Mine about Cuba and the other one from @bief57 about Peru.
In the case of the news I published about the suspension of the performances of the Cuban singer Amauri Pérez, it was published in Peru, but the blackouts are in Cuba.
Regarding SN, I am working on education about Bitcoin and how SN can help in adoption, not only for the SATs, but also for the educational part

Yes, I guess I got confused. The reason I asked is that I think I fall into the trap of not realizing the extreme differences in cost of living in different countries. Someone in a western, high priced country might never know that what can be earned for quality posts on SN could really help out financially in some places.

A while ago I posted about how thanks to SN I was able to get food for my family. That wasn't the only time. I have some extra expenses every week, and where does it come from? STACKER NEWS.
But I want to help people understand it. I owe it to SN and to the people. But I don't want stupid people to come to SN. I don't want @DarthCoin to have a heart attack or a stroke.
