This interactive session will explore why Bitcoin is crucial for the next generation, focusing on its potential to empower youth with financial independence, education, and innovation. We’ll dive into how Bitcoin offers an alternative to traditional banking, provides a hedge against inflation, and opens up opportunities for economic participation, especially for young people in underbanked regions. Through engaging discussions, real-world examples, and group activities, attendees will gain a deeper understanding of how Bitcoin can shape their future, equip them with financial literacy, and ignite entrepreneurial ventures. Join us to discover how the youth can leverage Bitcoin to create lasting impact and build a more inclusive global economy!
