Every successful adoption story is built on community, trust, education and simple tools. Education for Bitcoin adoption happens when a trusted community leader, bitcoiner or educator talks to a friend, colleague, or family member and gets them to also install a Bitcoin wallet to make their first Bitcoin transaction. True adoption occurs when that friend independently and consistently starts utilizing Bitcoin, on their own. At Minmo we build tools that empower community leaders, educators and human agents to professionalize their services in providing access to Bitcoin in communities.
This talk will cover:
- What Bitcoin Adoption means, and observed patterns of successful Bitcoin Adoption, from our perspective
- How existing wallets, tools and models like Circular Economies impact Bitcoin adoption
- How the new tools we are building at Minmo can accelerate Bitcoin adoption in Africa and beyond
