Currency of Change
summary
A nonprofit launched in 2021 called Bitcoin Dada trains African women in financial education and uses Bitcoin for remittances, privacy, micro-payments and entrepreneurship, claiming faster cross‑border transfers and escape routes from abusive relationships. Cited figures: women do 70% of agricultural labor and own <1% of land. Examples include setting a base in Uganda, running a staffed program, highlighting initiatives like Umoda Village and 1828, and promoting women leaders on product teams; the talk links these projects to measurable increases in local female participation.
