I teach about Bitcoin, privacy, and financial education to children and adults in South America, especially to vulnerable communities for free.
### Help Empower Vulnerable Communities Through Financial Education and Bitcoin
For nearly three years, I have been dedicated to teaching Bitcoin, privacy, and financial education to children and adults across South America completely free of charge. My mission is to bring knowledge to those who need it most, especially vulnerable communities, helping them break free from the cycle of poverty, ignorance, and debt that affects so many in our region.
### Knowledge Should Not Be a Privilege
I have conducted workshops, courses, and diploma programs in several countries:
- Uruguay: From public schools to general audiences in Montevideo, Punta del Este, Canelones, and Melo, I have also worked in vulnerable neighborhoods like Barrios Unidos (La Teja, Montevideo). In addition, I’ve onboarded small businesses—barbershops, gyms, mini markets, and coffee shops—to Bitcoin, helping them embrace the future of finance.
- Argentina: I’ve delivered diploma programs in Buenos Aires, Mendoza, Chaco, and Formosa. In Formosa, I spent over a month living with the indigenous Pilagá community, providing meals and education on Bitcoin, money, and privacy. Through reading workshops and hands-on teaching, I helped children and adults alike use mobile wallets like Monero to better their financial futures.
- Paraguay: I’ve been teaching in public schools, children’s institutions, and adult courses in Ciudad del Este, Coronel Oviedo, and Asunción. Together with my friend, we are also creating educational content in Guarani to make Bitcoin education more accessible to the local population.
### My Goal
My goal is to continue traveling across the region, offering Bitcoin education tailored to the unique needs of each community. Along the way, I encounter harsh realities—where food is a basic necessity. A large portion of my budget is spent on covering these basic needs because it’s impossible to learn on an empty stomach.
### Your Support Makes a Difference
Help me become an instrument of change, empowering our Latin American brothers and sisters to break the cycle of poverty, ignorance, and debt. With your support, I can continue to provide free education—covering travel expenses, accommodation, supplies, and donations to vulnerable communities.
Thank you for considering my mission and being part of the solution.
