In a groundbreaking initiative to foster the growth of Bitcoin circular economies globally, Bitcoin Beach partnered with Geyser and the Federation of Bitcoin Circular Economies (FBCE) to launch the Bitcoin Beach Grants program. This strategic collaboration seeks to propel the expansion of emerging Bitcoin ecosystems through enhanced local education, increased merchant adoption, and innovative community projects centered on Bitcoin.
The program is meticulously designed to equip participants with the necessary tools and knowledge to thrive within the Bitcoin ecosystem. By providing access to specialized educational resources, financial grants, and extensive mentorship, the initiative ensures comprehensive support for participants dedicated to nurturing their local Bitcoin circular economies.
Prospective participants are required to engage in a series of online workshops as a precursor to submitting their applications. These applications will then be rigorously evaluated by an international panel, which will determine the grant recipients. A total of 0.5 BTC, valued at approximately $31,129, has been allocated for this cycle and will be distributed across 22 projects in varying denominations:
- Two grants of 0.05 BTC each
- Ten grants of 0.02 BTC each
- Ten grants of 0.01 BTC each
In addition, a reserve of 0.1 BTC will be retained to support as many viable projects as possible following the review process.
The selection of Bitcoin Beach in El Zonte, El Salvador, as the model for the program, highlights its significance in the Bitcoin adoption narrative. This community's pioneering efforts in embracing Bitcoin have not only set a precedent but have also played a pivotal role in Bitcoin's recognition as legal tender within the country. The partnership with Geyser's crowdfunding platform and FBCE's dedication to global promotion of Bitcoin economies aims to replicate Bitcoin Beach's success in other regions, custom-tailored to their specific needs and goals.
Individuals and communities eager to participate in the Bitcoin Beach Grants program are encouraged to apply through the designated online platform. Official details regarding workshop schedules, application deadlines, and criteria for funding will be released shortly, paving the way for a new era of Bitcoin-centric development and innovation.
