JAKARTA – Twitter founder Jack Dorsey and popular hip-hop singer Jay-Z are reportedly collaborating for a Bitcoin education program. The two will launch a free education called The Bitcoin Academy.

The program is planned to be accessible to residents of the Mercy Project public housing estate in New York City. The program will run from June 22 to September 7, 2022. Those who wish to participate can choose between offline and online classes.

The lecturers in the program consist of a number of experts from the Crypto Blockchain Plug and Black Bitcoin Billionaire including Najah J. Roberts and Lamar Wilson. Later the participants will learn important things from Bitcoin such as the utility and vision of BTC as well as financial literature.

Meanwhile, children aged 5-17 can join the “Crypto Kids Camp” program which will be held on Saturday. A number of devices to support this learning will be provided by The Bitcoin Academy, including portable WiFi hotspots, data plans for a year, smartphones, and others. The program was announced by Jack Dorsey in his Twitter upload.

Reporting from CryptoPotato, Dorsey claimed to be inspired by the Bitcoin initiative that has supported a small portion of the population of Africa and Central and South America. He stated that his ultimate goal was “to prove that making powerful tools more available to people enables them to build greater self-reliance.”

Jay-Z whose real name is Shawn Carter is a person who vocally voices cryptocurrency and Web3. While Dorsey is the founder and former CEO of Twitter who later left his position at the social media platform and chose to focus on developing the cryptocurrency industry through his other company, Block.
