F.R.E.E. Madeira is a non-profit organization focused on Bitcoin adoption and education in the region. It functions as an advisory board to the Madeiran government as well as to several other institutions on the island, public and private.
For the first time in its history, Madeira is not bound by its geographic location and can fight in the same global arena as all other jurisdictions. It’s the government’s goal to introduce Madeira as a worldwide reference for the new digital future, and the aim is to make our archipelago a leader in technology and quality of life.
F.R.E.E Madeira aims to help everyone on the island with the transition to the new monetary paradigm, from retailers to politicians, as well as the man on the street. Making Madeira more attractive to Bitcoiners and Bitcoin businesses is one of the main goals of the organization, transforming Madeira into beacon of freedom and self-sovereignty in Europe
Why we are doing this
At Minds Studio, we believe in the importance of defending individual freedom and the independence of education and money from any governmental interests.
Minds Studio aims to empower inclusive life-changing learning communities using learning science and technology. Having seen with our own eyes how Ed-tech projects can have a huge impact in the future of people’s lives, it is our aim to accelerate that change in the Bitcoin ecosystem.
We’ve witnessed this change before in the Tech sector with the spread of the Internet. Those learning the skills on demand during the growth of this network, joining a tech-savvy community, have drastically improved their lives in the last decades.
What our plan is
After an initial assessment of the F.R.E.E Madeira needs, several workstreams have been identified where we’d like to provide support in order to grow the organisation steadily:
1. Tech Architecture Infrastructure
We intend to help F.R.E.E Madeira in building a technology infrastructure suited for the project’s needs, understanding this is an early stage project.
Having already started building a database infrastructure, we would like to extend it to link different activities and workstreams into a modular ecosystem.
2. Education Architecture
The project envisions several workstreams related to education projects: meetups, podcasts, conferences, etc. that will be linked together to help F.R.E.E Madeira achieve its overarching goal: a Bitcoin centric learning community with Madeira at its epicentre.
3. Community Assets
At Minds Studio, we help organisations build community assets that can be used over time, increasing the value of the community to the different stakeholders.
Why can we add value?
We are an interdisciplinary network of independent engineers, computer scientists, data scientists, entrepreneurs, learning designers, experience designers and makers from more than 10 countries with experience in building products at scale.
Having taken part in some of the fastest growing global Ed-tech projects in the last 15 years, we have experience in the creation of sustainable businesses models. We would like to apply that expertise to empower the Bitcoin community and accelerate its growth.
