Bitcoin has been hailed as a tool for financial freedom and inclusion, but can it truly reduce inequality, or does it risk worsening existing disparities? In this thought-provoking session, we’ll explore Bitcoin’s potential to empower marginalized communities by providing access to decentralized financial systems and breaking down barriers created by traditional institutions.
At the same time, we’ll examine critical concerns such as unequal access to technology, the digital divide, and concentration of wealth in early adopters—that could exacerbate inequality if left unaddressed.
Join us for a balanced and engaging discussion that dives into real-world examples, global trends, and the opportunities and challenges of Bitcoin’s role in shaping a more equitable financial future. Let’s explore how we can ensure Bitcoin is a tool for empowerment, not exclusion.
