BITCOIN EDUCATION IS BEGINNING IN ARGENTINA FOR 40 HIGH SCHOOLS

The Schools and Bitcoin Project is commencing high school Bitcoin education in Argentina.

The program will start with 40 schools, with over 4,000 children anticipated to take part.

Argentina has suffered from hyperinflation, resulting to the country becoming Latin America’s second-highest adoption of cryptocurrency.
According to a news release from Paxful, Bitcoin instruction is now available for high school students in Argentina.

Bitcoin Argentina, a non-governmental organization, has collaborated with Paxful and the Built With Bitcoin Foundation to educate schoolchildren about Bitcoin. Students from 40 different schools will participate in the Schools and Bitcoin program.

“Education at every level is crucial to the next wave of global Bitcoin adoption,” said Ray Youssef, Founder and CEO of Paxful. “We’re thrilled to work with NGO Bitcoin Argentina and the Built With Bitcoin Foundation to support a movement that focuses on youth and shares the power of Bitcoin as a peer-to-peer financial tool for masses.”

Jimena Valone, institutional development coordinator for Bitcoin Argentina and lead of the Schools and Bitcoin Project, said “There is a desire to innovate, to know what is happening with Bitcoin and blockchain, to train and learn.”
