Corruption is a cancerous (sic), social problem that needs government intervention and will. But then again are they both there in the Gvt?

Weeding out corruption begins with individuals we need to resist this thing no Govt or institution will weed out this thing that has killed the moral fiber of the people.

Re: Can ‘Not In My Country’ help fight corruption at Zim universities & colleges?
The fact that we are talking more and about corruption, means the issue is slowly taking center stage and this has happened through experience in our past where this generation has come to learn and understand the terrible effects of corruption previously taken for granted by out parents and grand parent. I believe this is where social media and technology in general could help a great deal and we also have to start teaching about pride and honor right from kindergarten.

Re: Bitcoin, a currency and payments opportunity for Zimbabweans?
Ok, i think i am getting oooold. In laymen's terms what is a bitcoin.
I have tried researching and all but i just don't get it. Seems my brain will do well with some de-fragmentation...a lot of garbage in there....Paypal, Ecocash, Mukuru, Kruger Rands, vPayments, eWallet, VISA, MasterCard...a lot of things in my head!

Re: Bitcoin, a currency and payments opportunity for Zimbabweans?
A great resource is this Wired article from 2011: http://www.wired.com/magazine/...
If you have any specific questions though, shoot away and where i know I will provide the answer, or someone here will.

Re: Bitcoin, a currency and payments opportunity for Zimbabweans?
The part you don't mention, is the aforementioned Zimbabwean developer starving to death because he cannot buy anything with bitcoins. That and no minor currency, meaning his sadza is going to cost him a full bitcoins share value.. 144 USD at one point..

Re: Bitcoin, a currency and payments opportunity for Zimbabweans?
Read through the article on wired it filled with incidences where people lost thousands either by hackers attacking them, or them mistakenly deleting the wallets on their computers as there is no central control of the Bitcoin System. Bitcoin seems just like a bubble which will soon fade because increased use is exposing its weaknesses. If Zimbabweans were to use this they would risk losing their monies no doubt

Re: Bitcoin, a currency and payments opportunity for Zimbabweans?
Bitcoins are referred to by many as virtual currency but bitcoins like rare postage collectibles can never be money. The Open Source project "Bitcoins" by its own admission refers to bitcoins as experimental digital currency.
There is not central authority for issuing bitcoins and their designer is not even known. He is one shadow character who uses the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto, why the lack of transparency. You cant have something that is defined as a currency without basic transperancy about its origins, production and issuiong.. In terms of production bitcoins use a peer-to-peer networking, hello BitTorrent.
The value of bitcoins is extremely volatile like the Zim dollar. For example on 10 April 2013, Bitcoin dropped from a price of $266 to $105 before returning to a value of $160 within six hours. Now if that doesnt look like the bearer check losing a few zeros.
They have been reported cases of bitcoin hacking by botnets and hackers so its not safe, we all know what viruses can do to your computer.
Bitcoins is by nature not a currency but a form of investment which is not the role of money, money is supposed to be used as something that facilitates transactions. Money has only one purpose–to facilitate transactions, that is buying and selling products and services and securities. All the other purposes of money flow from this basic function.
When you buy bitcoins, they are stored as a piece of software in your computer. When their value increase of which they do often you are richer, so bitcoins sort of remind me of shares.
Actually I would equate bitcoins to a pseudo ponzi scheme. Drug traffickers and money launderers have jumped on to the bitcoin bandwagon due to the anonymity of the whole psedo currency system.
Like borrowing use money to buy bitcoins that you are willing to use. There was a recent bubble burst in bitcoin value a few weeks ago, so tread with caution, actually dont go there.

Re: Bitcoin, a currency and payments opportunity for Zimbabweans?
I liked the article, but a few points of disagreement:
Conventional currencies are broken. No one knows that better than the Zimbabwean who watched helplessly as institutions – government, politicians, bankers – they trusted to look after the value of their money conspired and eroded hard earned savings to nothing over a few yearshttps://yourlogicalfallacyis.c... - just because 1 currency is broken doesn't mean all currencies are broken (it's a nitpick, but I recently discovered the logical fallacy website, and now I see them everywhere)
Bitcoin also solves the problem of government control (and government squabbles affecting ordinary people) by allowing individuals to hold Bitcoins anonymously. Bitcoins can be paid by anyone and received by anyone anonymously.Bitcoin isn't very anonymous:
The main problem is that every transaction is publicly logged. Anyone can see the flow of Bitcoins from address to address (see first image). Alone, this information can't identify anyone because the addresses are just random numbers. However, if any of the addresses in a transaction's past or future can be tied to an actual identity, it might be possible to work from that point and figure out who owns all of the other addresses(https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Ano...

Re: Bitcoin, a currency and payments opportunity for Zimbabweans?
The promise of Bitcoin is to eventually have a currency that cannot be manipulated or controlled by the government and ultimately will yield greater personal freedom for each and every user of it.
