📣 We’ll be adding more details about the Bitcoin Beach Grants campaign to the @Geyser page soon (workshops, application criteria and timelines, etc). In the meantime, groups interested in these #Bitcoin grants should please take note of some important details. ✅ The Bitcoin Beach Grants are intended for #Bitcoin circular economy projects and NOT for independent Bitcoin education activities, meet-ups, content creation activities, human rights campaigns, or other activities like this in isolation. Activities like that may be included in an application as components of the plan to build the local #BTC  circular economy, of course. They are all key components of building out a #BTC circular economy. But the grants are not intended to support these activities in isolation. Groups interested in funding to support activities like this (ie, education, meetups, etc) will need to integrate them into a local #BTC  circular economy vision and project. Newly proposed and created #BTC circular economy projects are very welcome to apply! 🔗 To help you better understand the concept of a #Bitcoin circular economy and possible steps for starting and/or growing a local #BTC circular economy we recommend reviewing information at our “About Bitcoin Circular Economies” page: https://fbce.io/about-circular-economies 📍For #Bitcoin circular economy projects that are just getting started, we also recommend studying and connecting with other established #BTC circular economy projects. They can help you imagine and plan your vision and your activities. Visit: https://fbce.io/btc-circular-economies 🎥 The series of workshops that will be delivered as part of the Bitcoin Beach Grants campaign will cover a range of important topics in building and growing a #Bitcoin circular economy: on-boarding merchants, embedding Bitcoin education, developing local leadership, etc. There is still time. No rush! ❓When you have questions about grant criteria, ideas, etc please reach out to FBCE here or at admin@fbce.io and we will get you appropriate responses. ❓For questions about the application process on the Geyser platform please direct them to @Geyser. Let’s go!!! ✊🧡 GRANTS PAGE:
