Banking the #unbanked: focusing on commercial banks misses an opportunity. #Banks won't provide financial incentives such as lottery schemes for the poor to use banks. But another sector could - and should.

According to the @FDICgov, nearly 4.5% of #US #households were #unbanked in 2021. The #UnitedStates has no #federal #statute mandating the #acceptance of #cash in #retailpayments.

I saw the same issue repeated for young applicants, too. It irritates me that politicians have created an #ableist gate that excludes the #unbanked and #unhoused from access to federal facilities and public transit.

AFAICT #Klarna is cashless; unlike the #SafePay card, there is no way to buy a card at a supermarket using cash. So #unbanked ppl are excluded. I would love to open a Klarna acct linked to a temporary bank acct which I then close, rack up a Klarna debt & say to Klarna âwhere can I pay be debt in legal tender?â

For @BitcoinIslandPH, orange-pilling is not a hard sell - 60% of #Philippines adults are #unbanked, and the countries largest export is workers who send vast amounts of remittance back home.
They're having so much success they're planning their next destination!

@phyn Let's look at the claims one by one:
1ď¸âŁ "#Bitcoin has enabled financial participation for more people than banks (in the not so developed countries)."
I have heard this claim often (typically as "banking the #unbanked"), but the reasons for people being unbanked do not seem to lie in the lack of available banking, but the lack of available funds.
E.g., here's the take of @cybeardjm, on location in Benin. Let me know if you have different sources. https://www.didiermary.fr/bitcoin-will-save-africa/
