Jack Dorsey, founder and CEO of Block, recently shared his reasons for adopting Bitcoin at the first Africa Bitcoin Conference in 2022. đ
Dorsey's love for open source technology played a significant role in his attraction to Bitcoin. He believes that open source communities, like Linux, have been crucial in promoting innovation and accessibility. Bitcoin's open source nature aligns with his values. đ€
Another reason is decentralized money. Dorsey reminisces about the early days of the internet, where open-source sharing and decentralized systems were prevalent. He sees Bitcoin as a way to put money back in the control of the people, rather than centralized entities. đȘ
Dorsey's focus is not on Bitcoin as an investment instrument, but on its potential for money transmission and sending value across borders. He's excited about the future of Bitcoin and its ability to empower individuals globally. đđ
