The problem Last Mile Crypto solves

In October 2020, only 59 percent of the global population had regular internet access. One of the greatest barriers between the rich and the poor is access to a banking system. Our goal is accessibilty and inclusion.

By utilizing alternative and legacy communication technologies, we can provide ethereum access to areas and populations with no internet access. This type of communication will further help developing countries and work towards global equality.

Providing banking access to developing countries can promote financial inclusion; banking is no longer for the rich. It also allows engagement in microtransaction and microlending platforms. And the added transparency of a public ledger will help alleviate corruption and provide much needed oversight.

Addtionally, although our goal is to help developing countries, this method of technology would be useful in disaster areas, refugee camps, and avoiding government internet censorship. At risk of sounding like a beauty pagent contestant, we truly believe a well-scaled application like Last Mile Ethereum can help solve poverty and promote equality.
