Cryptocurrency is a hot topic right now, especially in my small island-nation of T&T. It’s become so popular that banks have completely stopped locals from buying crypto with locally issued credit cards (those that could still buy overseas, I mean.) For those who have been following the news, this seems dire. Our island has been blocked in several locales, making it difficult to do business in places like the EU. That’s why cryptocurrencies are so helpful for those who want a financial instrument not liable to be limited by a central banking organization. Cryptocurrencies and other decentralized finance instruments are unique in what they allow people to do. Aside from being a store of value, cryptocurrency can help the everyday Trini avoid inflation, aside from letting them earn a lot more from things like staking and investing (more on that later).
