sure, it's going to take years to change seeing the people/corporations that don't want change. a typical human psychological dilemma, i'd say, reluctance to something you don't understand or don't like. Look at Gitcoin or Celo or city3, local economies etc... why not support a change to empower people and move away from greedy, corporate/banking systems?

What really makes the Celo protocol stand out is its ability to solve two fundamental barriers to using crypto as a means of payment: ease of use and purchasing power volatility. The mobile-first Valora wallet built on Celo is a social payment application-oriented around overcoming these exact barriers through phone number verification and stable-value assets. Crypto addresses are linked to using mobile phone numbers, making crypto transactions as easy as sending a text message. The application also provides minimal volatility of assets through the use of stablecoins, countering any concerns of payment made with volatile assets. Access to other dApps in the Celo ecosystem, decentralized exchanges, lending opportunities within DeFi, and exploration of NFT collections are all available on the same platform — facilitating interoperability and enhancing user experience.

The initial training, conducted by local partner, NairoBits, provided participants with guidance on cryptocurrency and cUSD transactions, how to complete microwork tasks, and how to cash out earnings to M-Pesa. After that phase, all 200 Kenyan participants went on to complete digital microwork tasks provided by Appen via the Toca app (now Corsali). Within a few seconds of completing their tasks in Corsali, participants were paid in cUSD. After linking their Corsali account to the Valora.app, a popular cryptocurrency wallet built on Celo, participants were able to transfer their earnings into Valora for a fee of only 0.02%, regardless of transaction size.
