Why Bitcoin? Why Learn About It?

Bitcoin is reshaping the global economy and understanding it is key to thriving in the future of money.

1. Financial Freedom: Bitcoin allows you to be your own bank. No need for permission, no middlemen, and no frozen accounts just full control over your money.

2. Borderless Payments: Send and receive value anywhere in the world, instantly and with low fees. Bitcoin is ideal for cross-border trade, remittances, and global collaboration.

3. Protection from Inflation: Unlike local currencies that lose value over time, Bitcoin has a fixed supply. It’s a tool for saving in hard money that can't be printed or devalued.

4. Digital Empowerment: Learning Bitcoin opens doors to careers in technology, entrepreneurship, and innovation. It's a gateway to understanding blockchain, decentralization, and the future of finance.

  • Practical examples of earning and spending in Bitcoin.

Problem

Disconnected from Emerging Tech

  • Students are unaware of global Bitcoin conversations.

Solution

Hands-On Tech Engagement

  • Global exposure through partnerships and events.

Problem

Limited Employment Opportunities
  • Many students graduate without practical experience.

Solution
