Oct 23, 2023

One prominent topic of discussion centered around the challenges of introducing new users and businesses to Bitcoin across diverse cultural settings. Buenaventura illustrated this with the case of El Salvador, where despite the country's adoption of Bitcoin as an official currency, there continue to be hurdles in the process of enabling merchants to facilitate Bitcoin transactions.

We have situations in which, you know, we have the sticker saying that Bitcoin is accepted here, but then the actual employee is so afraid of just interacting with Bitcoin that they will say, no, no, we don’t accept Bitcoin here.Dayan Petrov

The participants reached a consensus that education plays a pivotal role, emphasizing the necessity for prioritizing straightforward consumer applications over intricate technological solutions.

We shouldn’t think that people that have other jobs, they are teaching kindergarten or they are driving a taxi, they don’t have the time to fully understand the tech.Dayan Petrov

Petrov highlighted his company's contactless Bitcoin payment card as a prime illustration of a consumer-centric strategy. Additional topics covered whether cities like Lugano, which embrace Bitcoin, encounter rivalry from other cities, and strategies for fostering collaboration within the Bitcoin industry.

The panel offered valuable insights into the strategies employed by Bitcoin leaders to address adoption challenges across various markets and cultures. It was underscored that prioritizing more user-friendly applications and educational efforts stands as crucial steps in the global mainstreaming of Bitcoin.
