How can Bitcoin help address real-world humanitarian challenges, from financial exclusion to economic inequality?
At Groundswell Project, we're exploring how Bitcoin can support financial independence and empower underserved communities in the UK and Africa.
Through practical examples from our work with refugees, migrants and women facing financial barriers, this talk will explore how Bitcoin can be used as a tool for financial freedom, economic opportunity and humanitarian impact.
