I am cuban, first they need to have Internet everywhere not only in the parks and hotels and then could be but I was trying to give some workshops about crypto las year there and I was not aloud to ;). It is an island, very easy to control everything that happens, believe me. Not cuban people do not really know how works there and they always have problems at the end. Someone make a money outside the Cuban Central Bank??? I do not think so would be possible ;)
Edit: and I could add more details why but... would need to make a post. He do not understand the monetary system there.
Why is the internet not everywhere in Cuba? It is because the government wants to limit the access to the network or just due to investment in internet infrastructure within the country?
About the technological infrastructure ... they wanted to throw a fiber optic cable from Venezuela and someone in Cuba stole all the material and nothing happened ... neither cable nor Internet ... this is how Cuba works and I'm not exaggerating, believe me. But you need to live there as a cuban to understand all this, not to go as a tourist or famous person ...
Both of them, of course, the government does not want people to have free access although it seems that they are already realizing that with the opening made so far it will be very difficult to block everything else so there is truly more Internet connectivity but only in public spaces, squares, parks and also in hotels. The private internet at home is for people with privileges, understand government or close people. But it's not just about the Internet, it's about how Cuba works ... it's an island, something very different from a continent where countries have borders and people can move around. And about the monetary system the control is much stronger than whatever you know... Cuba have a Central Bank. You should read some of the posts of this profile https://steemit.com/@fidel-castro they are a lot of true inside them ;)
"Not allowed to". Not allowed. That is communism 101. Not allowed my ass you should be able to have a debate about all kinds of topics. Some might even argue that crypto currencies would help communism bring more justice to the people as the wealth can be spread around instantly on every mobile device if one chose to do so. Not allowed lmao.
What do you mean? Have you been in Cuba before??? I live there 29 years and go every year 2 times and again people will be not allowed to use the Cryptos and if you do they will put you in jail ... also people do not have internet at home, how they will do??? Not everybody have a smartphone ... You do not have ANY idea how is Cuba honestly!!!Not allowed because they can not controlled. Is a small island not a continent, you can not run anywhere ...
Edit: Cryptos does NOT have to do ANYTHING with Communism, Communism is CENTRALIZATION!
Just want to say that I understand the island problem.
