Onboarding One Billion People Onto Bitcoin
Bitcoin education is a key part of onboarding the unbanked citizens of Africa who increasingly look to Bitcoin as their monetary network.
For years I’ve been saying, to anyone who will listen, that Africa will lead global Bitcoin adoption. And that has come to fruition. It was at the Bitcoin 2021 Conference where I shared that same statement on the Nakamoto stage. And here we are, almost one year later and Bitcoin adoption in Africa is still on the rise with reports showing that η αγορά έχει αυξηθεί πάνω από 1200% με την Κένυα, τη Νότια Αφρική και τη Νιγηρία να πρωτοστατούν.
Having been born in Egypt and moved to the U.S. with my family at the age of two, I’ve always been passionate about my home continent of Africa. After all, home is home. But my belief that Africa will lead the way stems from more than just my roots. Σχεδόν το 60% του πληθυσμού της Αφρικής είναι χωρίς τράπεζες. Africans are also battling rising inflation and high transaction fees for cross-border payments — so it’s clear that the continent has long been primed for an alternative solution like Bitcoin. It’s these challenges across the continent, coupled with the entrepreneurial spirit of the people, that have allowed Bitcoin να ευδοκιμήσουν.
Στο Paxful, είδαμε από νωρίς πώς η Αφρική δεν θα έχανε αυτή την ευκαιρία. Έχουμε δει την ανάπτυξη σε όλη την ήπειρο από πρώτο χέρι. Ενώ η Νιγηρία συνέχισε να πρωτοστατεί ως η μεγαλύτερη αγορά μας με βάση τον όγκο του εμπορίου, χώρες όπως η Κένυα και η Γκάνα δεν είναι πολύ πίσω. Τον τελευταίο χρόνο, είδαμε μια σταθερή αύξηση του όγκου εμπορίου και στις δύο χώρες, μια ισχυρή ένδειξη ότι είμαστε σε καλό δρόμο.
The people of Africa are the true leaders in this movement and the rest of the world is getting a front row seat. The continent is slowly breaking down stereotypes driven by false narratives and showing the world the true use cases of Bitcoin. But to onboard one billion Bitcoiners, there is more work to be done. For example, we still need to dispel myths and misconceptions at a mass level. Bitcoin education can fix this.
Paxful is doing our part — as of this month we’ve reached over nine million users and are on our way to onboarding 10 million. Other businesses and leaders in the space can also be a part of the solution. By staying connected to the streets, we can all help consumers understand how Bitcoin can solve their everyday financial problems.
Take Rachel for example, a restaurant employee in Nigeria. After talking to Rachel about Bitcoin, she was curious to learn more. Her phone was broken, so she left us her contact information on a piece of paper. After meeting Rachel and other community members who were eager to learn, we built our first education center in the country. This is how mainstream adoption will happen — it’s not about creating millionaires, but providing access to financial freedom to millions.
Η Bitcoin Διάσκεψη serves as an opportunity to continue to fuel Bitcoin education. Together with Mayor Francis Suarez, we are focused on increasing financial literacy across the city of Miami by δωρίζοντας 500 tickets to students and local organizations for this year’s Bitcoin Συνέδριο 2022. Bitcoin is for everyone, and I’m honored to have a platform where I can speak my truth and carry out the mission for global adoption.
Bitcoin Το 2022 θα είναι το μεγαλύτερο γεγονός Bitcoin ιστορία, με ένα άνευ προηγουμένου φάσμα τεχνικής, πολιτιστικής και οικονομικής προόδου που σημειώνεται στον χώρο.
