May 16th 2015 - Ejisu, Kumasi Ghana, AfricaAs a part of our continued commitment to community and education focused initiatives,
OKCash is pleased to be included in the upcoming seminar “Introduction to
Bitcoin and
Okcash” on June 6th 2:00 GMT at the QueenCity Restaurant in Ejisu, Kumasi Ghana,
Africa.
Funding for the event has generously been provided by
Cryptoavenue.com The event will first provide local residents, students and small business owners with a basic introduction to
Bitcoin and go on to introduce
OKCash, providing insight into
Proof of Work (POW) and
Proof of Stake (POS) cryptocurrencies, similarities and differences, instruction on practical uses including remittance within Africa and internationally, and the potential of cryptocurrencies to improve local businesses through both online sales and point of sale payments.
The speakers at the seminar, Asumin Richmond and Agyenim Boateng Boniface, first heard of Bitcoin at a seminar organized by 'Africa Youth Peace Call (A.Y.P.C), and participation in other Bitcoin related local events led them to start a group page on Facebook called ''Afriworks'' which became a platform to advertise local products and accept payments for Bitcoin, which, in turn, led them to form
BitUnit.
The seminar will be the first event organized by BitUnit, a new grassroots initiative, which has the short term goal of spreading awareness of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies to the masses through education, and the long term goal of encouraging acceptance of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies all over Ghana, the rest of Africa and beyond.
OKCash is a Proof of Stake (POS)
cryptocurrency, with a focus on improving accessibility for the global community to resources and information regarding the advantages of decentralized payment systems, and developing positive innovation to simplify payments across social networks and everyday payments for all.
