Bitcoin: An Idea Worth Spending

..therefore allowing you to pass on knowledge gleaned from us to others of your ilk that may also be interested in Bitcoin..

I doubt there will be many opportunities for teaching about Bitcoin when they'll have their hands full with medical work, maybe if they meet any local entrepreneurs they could introduce the idea to is probably the best chance they'll have.

I was in reference to their fellow classmates at their university, along with all the other people they know and will meet. Educating Kenyans was at the bottom of my list when I mention that they could help spread the word about Bitcoin.

Edit: I somehow misread your post, hazek. I don't have the foggiest idea where I thought you were referring to teaching Kenyans about Bitcoin. Sorry, bud.

Bitcoin: An Idea Worth Spending

Quote from: hazek on June 05, 2012, 03:06:38 PM

Ok some more questions then:

Have you already raised all the money you need or are you still fundraising?
Have you made any prior arrangements with any of the locals or are you going in blind so to speak?
How long do you intend to stay?
Have you thought about how you're going to ensure your safety?
Do you have any mental strategies prepared to deal with probably not so rosy circumstances you about to find yourselves in?

I think that's enough for now. Cool

And we look forward to your questions as well.

How many are currently in attendanceon your end, kenija2012?

Phinnaeus Gage I completely misunderstood the purpose of this thread, I thought it was going to be a live chat with them where we, the Bitcoin community, ask them qestions but no I see that it's actually meant to be the other way around where they would like to ask us question so that they better understand Bitcoin, or do I still misunderstand what is happening in this thread? Tongue

you understood correctly, i though people wanted to ask more questions about the expecition.

We sure do but, moreover, we want to make sure you're up to speed of what Bitcoin is and is not, therefore allowing you to pass on knowledge gleaned from us to others of your ilk that may also be interested in Bitcoin.

Can I assume we're currently speaking with the woman that vuce told us would be joining this forum? And if so, may I be so blunt and ask your name since it'll probably be no secret being that that relative information will be on your website?

Are there more trips like this planned for the future?

Might this be a good opportunity to lay a foundation and procedures for funding future expeditions with bitcoin donations?

the section of tropical medicine in Slovenia organizes humanitarian expeditions allover the world, not only to Africa, usually about every three months. Here (http://www.stpm.org/index.php/destinacije) are listed all other expeditions, usually every one of them is in need of aditional funds, sothis would surely be appreciated.

Your first post, then my follow-up reply, made it clear that it can be both ways. Please accept my apology for any misunderstanding(s).

The bottom line is that there is going to be a live discussion, using this thread as the medium of exchange, between Slovenian medical students seeking funding for their trip to Kenya and Bitcoiners from this community.

I'm leaning toward to that aspect with Bitcoin 100. It may be best to work with the these small groups, thus letting the large non-profits come to us and ask, opposed to the current way--us asking them.

I've locked the other thread til the discussion here has ended, thus keeping the dialog in one place.

Question: Would you like free copies of Bitcoin Magazine to use as reading material for on your trip to Kenya? If so, how many? I will pay for them provided, of course, you promise to take a picture(s) of said magazine using Kenya as a backdrop with the hope of having Matthew and his team include an article with said picture(s) for some upcoming issue of Bitcoin Magazine.

What is the most important aspect of Bitcoin in your opinion?

I'm glad you asked that question now, hazek, for I thought only of them asking questions, not thinking that we can ask them questions as well.

That said, I guess we can start asking questions now, thus having something for them to address when they get started on their end.

The main topic of this thread will be about Kenija2012 (their trip to Kenya) and the important facets of Bitcoin. The more they know about Bitcoin, the better they will be able to explain it down the road when asked how part of their trip was financed.

My first question: When is the tentative departure date?

~Bruno~

departure date is on 7/27.
