We touched upon the freelancer use case.

There's obviously remittance use case.

You're sending money to family members.

You can do that with MiniPay really easily.

There's a saving use case.

And he actually had a bit of an accident.

So the tuk-tuk flipped over while he was in it.

Luckily, he was fine.
