In this newest episode of Connect the World, recorded together with ​, we talked with ​ discussing the transformative role of #Bitcoin and the #LightningNetwork in global communities. 🌍

Renata shared a powerful story of financial independence from El Salvador, where a local pupusa vendor started accepting Bitcoin. This led to her saving money for the first time, proving that financial inclusion through bitcoin is very much a reality. 💰

Renata stressed the importance of Bitcoin in economies experiencing high inflation, serving as a lifeline to preserve the value of people's earnings. She emphasized the need for non-custodial solutions as a viable alternative to traditional banks, offering financial sovereignty. 🏦

A fascinating question came from Lightning developer ​ from Japan: How to integrate the Japanese comic subculture with the Lightning Network? Renata's answer? Use cultural elements to create content, promoting and educating about LN, making this tech more accessible and relatable. 🇯🇵

This is not a new concept: There's a project in Africa creating a Bitcoin-centric book for kids, localizing the content. Adopting the local language & culture when introducing new technology could be game-changing in crypto education. 📖

Fedi aims to connect communities with Bitcoin & the Lightning Network, bringing together the most primitive tech (human communities) with advanced tech (#Bitcoin & #LN). Let's support initiatives making bitcoin more accessible globally. 👏🚀

A must-listen episode that highlights the impact of Bitcoin & the Lightning Network around the world, and the potential of localized bitcoin education. A truly insightful session for anyone interested in the intersection of community, culture, and fintech!
