28 August 2 Written from the perspective of a high school student:
I’ve heard that there’s going to be some pretty cool collaboration happening between two companies, Tether Operations Limited (the big player in digital assets) and Rezo Money, which is like this super popular payment platform. They’re teaming up for the first time ever to help people learn more about blockchain stuff—you know, that techy way of keeping track of things online without needing banks or anything!
So they’re planning on having these workshops at three universities in Guinea’s capital city, Conakry. The teachers will show the students how blockchain can be super useful for everyday stuff—like making money moves and handling payments that don’t have to go through regular banks (which isn’t a good thing where I come from because not everyone has access).
The Rezo folks are going to help set up these workshops, but they also want students to get their hands dirty with real-life examples of blockchain in action. That way, it’s like learning by doing rather than just hearing about it in class. They’re hoping this will spread the word and make a big difference because Tether really seems dedicated to helping out around the world.
Our economics teacher mentioned how important things like blockchain can be for places where not everyone has bank accounts or steady jobs—and that could totally change our lives in the future, making it easier for people to handle their money and grow businesses without all those barriers.
Mr. Paolo Ardoino from Tether thinks this partnership is a game-changer because they’re helping students understand how digital stuff can work together with regular jobs—it’s like bridging two worlds that don’t always mix up here in my hood. And then there’s Mr. Ibrahima Soumano from Rezo, who also believes this will really help people out where they need the info most and in a way that makes sense for them.
Tether isn’t new to all this; they’ve been throwing money into helping others learn about digital currencies at big events across Africa. They even got involved when some famous Bitcoin guy, Satoshi (whoever he is), started something called the “Bitcoin Pizza Day.” Seems like they want everyone—especially in places that might not get much attention—to catch up with all this tech stuff that’s taking over our world.
Hopefully, if things work out and folks start to see how blockchain can help them make sense of money matters (and maybe even find some opportunities), more kids in my school might think about studying computer science or something super cool like that. Who knows? Maybe one day I’ll be part of the next big thing in digital education too!
