The resident's idea, as submitted
The idea
Educating the young generation about Blockchain (crypto). I would love to share my experience to showcase the results. This is the future, if Boston wants to win the fight for equity. Blockchain is the answer, we need to start building now!
Who it helps and why
The wealthy have made tremendous profits since 2020 alone. Teaching our communities about digital financial literacy is the only solution to social and racial equity. Imagine Boston minting the most millionaires in 10-15 years from diverse communities? Money doesn’t buy freedom, but it gives people more access. Especially if you are teaching them how to save for the future.
