In the heart of Bujumbura at Hotel Martha, Trezor Academy Burundi orchestrated a series of dynamic sessions on October 28th, November 4th, and November 11th. This marked the commencement of a transformative initiative – the Trezor Academy program. These weekly gatherings became a vibrant hub for young Burundians, engaging them in profound discussions about the present and future landscape of financial systems.
The journey kicked off by addressing fundamental questions during the initial meetup: “Why Bitcoin?” From there, participants, ranging from seasoned enthusiasts to beginners, delved into practical insights on “How to use Bitcoin?” and culminated with reflections on “What Bitcoiners should do?” Together, they navigated the captivating world of cryptocurrency.
Insights from Austrian Economists
Guided by the wisdom of Austrian economists Ludwig Von Mises and Friedrich Hayek, discussions unraveled the unintended consequences of government interventions in human institutions. This exploration exposed unforeseen outcomes, leading to a profound realization—the market system stands as the sole viable framework for a prosperous and civilized society.
Navigating historical challenges such as poverty, hunger, and war, discussions further ventured into the realm of monetary policy. The concept emerged that sound money originates beyond state control, prompting participants to reflect on the profound significance of Bitcoin.
To encapsulate this enlightening journey, a poignant quote from Josef Tetek’s book, “Bitcoin: Separation of Money and State,” was shared: “State money is the last great tool of the State for controlling society.”
