Education and Adoption of Bitcoin Cash at the Central University of Venezuela (UCV)

The Central University of Venezuela (UCV) was the first University built in Latin America, when the territory was still a colony of the Spanish Empire in the year 1725, it is the largest University in Venezuela having a University City with a built area of 164, 22 hectares (1.64 km²), it is currently in the ranking of the 40 best universities worldwide and was declared by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in 2001.

The UCV is the most prestigious university at the national level with great importance in the economic, social, political, strategic, scientific, technological and medical fields and many other aspects that have an impact on the country.

The graduates are the people with the highest intellectual rank in each of their areas, that is, it is the highest academic rank in the entire country, it has approximately more than 50,000 students, and it has all the study careers that can be studied in a University.

A month and ten days ago we received an invitation from an educational project created by a group of students, for CriptoCatia to give an educational workshop on the use of Bitcoin Cash and how the use of Blockchain Technology can be used at its University.

We accepted the invitation and held the educational meeting in which more than 30 students from different careers attended, most of them are studying systems engineering, computer science, economics, law and tourism.

All of them received Bitcoin Cash tips and we also carried out a dynamic to decipher an encrypted phrase, the answer was "BCH electronic cash person to person" the winning team received $30 in BCH that was distributed among all of them in their Bitcoin.com non-custodial wallets and others downloaded Selene Wallet.

The receptivity was great and several ideas proposed by the students themselves arose, which were to carry out an adoption plan in the cafeterias of the University, so that they can pay for their daily purchases with BCH, the university has more than fifty cafeterias all around University City in strategic places for each school of each of the careers.

After this activity we have received invitations from each of the schools of different careers to take our educational workshop to their students, we are happy that the seed germinated and now the most important University in the entire country is interested in learning how to use Bitcoin Cash.

Since then we have been in continuous communication with the students of the UCV to create a document to be presented to the authorities of the UCV so that they will approve an educational plan and adoption of the cafeterias of the University in the new school year that It begins in the month of October, days ago we received the news that the permit to carry out the work of adopting Bitcoin Cash in the cafeterias and educational workshops was approved, all of which will be held at the University facilities.

For this reason we have launched this Flipstarter Campaign to raise funds so that an Education and Adoption plan can be financed at the Central University of Venezuela that will have a great impact at the national level and will be an example for other Universities in Venezuela.
