Staying up late to watch some of the bitcoin atlantis (madeira) conf - its def an upliftment to the soul and gives hope for this world we love. I just love how so many people from around the world are coming together to build a path for freedom with bitcoin.

Some of the stories - France CPA devastation in Togo - the country is so poor that women have to deliver on the floor in the hospitals because hospitals can’t afford hospital beds. Nigeria and just how generally people are looked down upon in various examples, that and often many services are not available.

Some of the work Btrust is doing is incredible in developing and empowering grassroots developers and educators and awareness. And the Bitcoin Africa conferences that radiates so much energy signalling wide publicity for adoption.

That and them tapping on deeper towards global south - esp Central America and South America and rest.

An example - Jamaica and Singapore gained independence in the 60’s, both tropical land, both had abt gdp per capita of $425, and abt 1.8 mill people. Fast forward to 2021, singapore has gdp per capita of $73k and almost 6 million population, Jamaica only has $5k gdp per capita with still the same amt of population. Bob Marley has spoken and sang so much of the challenges of Jamaica in the 60’s - 80’s

While Jamaica wasn’t part of the example from the conf, it shows just how much unevenness exist around the world.

Nigeria, Bangladesh are among the most populous and poorest countries in the world. All this effort done for bitcoin user adoptions will benefit many countries ard the world and bring balance to the global south.
