In a significant move to boost Bitcoin literacy, Trezor has launched the Trezor Academy during the Africa Bitcoin Conference in Accra today. The academy aims to expand its educational program to over ten African nations by 2024, following its success in Ghana and Nigeria. This initiative is part of a broader effort to increase Bitcoin adoption for payment systems and microfinancing across the continent.
The Trezor Academy is supported by proceeds from the sales of Trezor's limited edition Safe 3 wallet, which contributes a portion of its revenue towards these educational projects. This strategic move underscores Trezor's commitment to fostering a deeper understanding of cryptocurrency technologies and their potential benefits in the region.
Coinciding with the academy's launch, the Bitcoineta campaign began on Friday under the sponsorship of Trezor and in collaboration with Bitcoin Cowries. A Land Rover embarks on an educational journey through various West African states, promoting local initiatives through school and community education. The campaign is gaining traction on social media platforms, where it shares progress through video blogs and posts for broader engagement.
Trezor's CEO Matej Zak highlighted the importance of Bitcoin in transforming financial transactions within Africa. He also mentioned plans for in-person meetups hosted by local experts to further promote the adoption and understanding of Bitcoin.
