$BTC #WhiteHouseCryptoSummit #USCryproReserve I’ve been obsessed with Bitcoin since 2023, when the sketchy internet finally reached my remote mountain village in Humla, Nepal. I’m around 40ish, a teacher making 30,000 NPR a month (about $225 USD before taxes) which my villagers consider a "rich" salary in my village (Sunday to Friday is the business week in Nepal and only Saturday is a weekend holiday).
After rent, food, and helping my family, there’s barely anything left. Bitcoin’s price in NPR is insane—over 11.8 million rupees for one coin. Even a tiny fraction costs more than I can save in a year. Then there’s the access. Living in the mountains, we have daily powercuts 10 hours a day, internet is spotty at best and sometimes we need to walk 2 hours to the nearest city to access network! We don't even have paved roads, Forget about reliable electricity, internet, heating or running water. These are dreams even in 2025 for me and my people.
