Cuba's Bitcoin Community Gathers for Meetup, Embracing Cryptocurrency as Means of Financial Freedom

Cuba Bitcoin, a group of Bitcoin advocates and activists, held a meetup at the Bitcoin-friendly bar and restaurant Pazillo. The community, which communicates through anonymous social media accounts to hide identities, gathered to discuss the potential of Bitcoin in Cuba. Despite limited internet access and financial constraints, more than 60 people attended the meetup, including a diverse range of individuals from small business owners to grandmothers. The group sold Cuba Bitcoin t-shirts for 1,000 Satoshis ($0.30) to demonstrate the use of the lightning network, and co-founder Forte11 delivered a talk on buying Bitcoin through peer-to-peer exchange using Telegram trading groups.
