How can Bitcoin change humanitarian aid? What role does Bitcoin play in human rights? As CEO of Fedi, an app that combines chat, money, and more in one Community Superapp, Obi Nwosu finds solutions to the world’s most critical humanitarian challenges. By thinking beyond the current systems, Obi has navigated a path to ensuring the delivery of aid to those in need, regardless of political or economic hurdles. We encourage you to dive into this talk and reimagine Bitcoin as a uniquely capable solution in the fight for freedom and democracy. How can we use Bitcoin to distribute financial support for political activists, for example, who are taking enormous risks to challenge authoritarians? Or to fund electricity projects in rural, hard-to-reach areas? In this talk, Obi explains how Bitcoin allows activists to safely receive funds that cannot be withheld or frozen by traditional financial systems, and how his super app, Fedi, is working to promote equal opportunity and prosperity around the globe!
