How Bitcoin Will Help Jamaica Abolish Bank Slavery Like El Salvador Did | Dread

Live from Bitcoin Beach in El Zonte, El Salvador, we turn our focus to the Caribbean, specifically Jamaica with our guest affectionately known as Dread. He shares his knowledge about how to leverage Bitcoin to handle economic disparities and the banking restrictions of his country.

In Jamaica, a great number of the population is living in poverty and the wealthy minority remains detached from the struggles of the bigger population. With the limitations of the Jamaican banking system where they can’t use their cards internationally or in e-commerce, Bitcoin is the best alternative - and a necessity for financial inclusions.

Dread started his Bitcoin journey with skepticism before becoming immersed in the Bitcoin community. He then recognized that more than just the potential of making money, as a decentralized currency, it can empower people and societies, especially in countries like Jamaica where there is a lack of banking system infrastructure. He became a forefront promoter of Bitcoin in Jamaica.

Knowing the financial challenges in the Caribbean, his project, a Bitcoin wallet called Flash aims to help facilitate easy access to Bitcoin for the economic activities in the area. He shares the technical background of Flash Wallet and how these features can improve financial transactions in the Caribbean and enable a circular economic flow.
Dread points out there is a need to build trust with the community leaders who will facilitate Bitcoin adoption because people are hesitant to accept how others handle a technology that they have yet to understand.

Bitcoin is proving to be a powerful tool in improving economies through decentralized finance and Dread knows it’s his mission to increase people’s knowledge about Bitcoin. 
Listen to the full episode to learn how Dread takes on this challenge, from sharing his technical know-how, his project the Flash wallet, and his hopes for better financial inclusion for the people of Jamaica.
