MOTIV and Bitcoin in Peru

We speak with Rich Swisher of MOTIV about their first steps building a Bitcoin Economy in Peru inspired by the success of Bitcoin Beach El Zonte. The project started when Rich and his partner discovered that the lack of proper footwear in a community was the cause of excess child mortality. After a successful intervention with very low cost, they decided to take it a step further and introduce Bitcoin to the marginalized communities. Again, with success.
