You're The Voice | by Efrat Fenigson Ep. 21: André Loja - A New Reality & Bitcoin Atlantis
My guest today is André Loja, the visionary behind the upcoming Bitcoin Atlantis conference and the Free Madeira initiative. We discussed the amazing Bitcoin Atlantis festival coming up in Madeira in 2 weeks, Andre’s journey into Bitcoin, Bitcoin adoption in Madeira and the risk of CBDCs. André revealed some of the conference’s program, surprises, and the many satellite events. We also discussed the supportive nature of the Bitcoin community, and how to create a better, different reality these days, amidst degradation of principles and morals in society. We touched on the educational gap in understanding the bigger picture and the root cause of societal problems.

-- MY TAKEAWAYS --
► Bitcoin adoption in Madeira is driven by a grassroots movement and the support of the local government.
► CBDCs may not pose a significant competition to Bitcoin, as Bitcoin's decentralized nature and global reach cannot be easily replicated.
► The Bitcoin Atlantis conference offers a comprehensive program with multiple stages, workshops, and satellite events, providing a platform for education, networking, and celebration of Bitcoin.
► The Bitcoin community is known for its friendliness, helpfulness, and willingness to collaborate, creating a unique and supportive environment.
