Bitcoin Adoption in Africa: Empowering Women with Noelyn
In this episode, I'm thrilled to bring you Noelyn’s inspiring story and her journey into the world of Bitcoin. Born and raised in Kenya, Noelyn experienced the harsh realities of the 2008 financial crisis, a pivotal moment that steered her towards studying financial engineering in college. Her quest for financial security led her to explore various investment strategies. Noelyn shares her insights from working in the banking and tax industries, revealing how these experiences highlighted the constraints of centralized finance and ultimately drew her towards Bitcoin.
"With self teaching," she said, "once you get the Bitcoin bug, it itches you, you want to start telling the whole world about it."
Currently, she's making a significant impact at Exonumia by translating Bitcoin content into Swahili, thereby increasing accessibility and understanding of Bitcoin in Africa.
This episode also touches on a critical issue: the societal expectations for African women to secure financial independence before marriage as a safeguard against economic vulnerability and marital abuse. Noelyn passionately advocates for greater female participation in the Bitcoin community, emphasizing the role of decentralized finance in empowering women. Tune in for an enlightening discussion about financial independence, empowerment, and the transformative power of Bitcoin.
