Caribbean people love to give back, to the tune of $800m that is remitted to emerging markets. One of the issues is that a significant portion is siphoned from fees back to banks. But with a crypto protocol there’s arbitrage opportunities through remittance. Incentive from $ to come in and out ✨ - Mark Pereira
