Almost 10 years ago, Lucas Ferreira (@lucasdcf), co-founder of @Vinteum_org, turned to Bitcoin in an effort to avoid a pyramid scheme.
He'd just graduated from university with a degree in anthropology.
Wanting to have a social impact, he considered pursuing a PhD.
However, he decided against it when he figured out there wasn't space in academia for all of the students entering the PhD program to become professors.
"It was actually a pyramid scheme," Ferreira said about academia.
He found Bitcoin soon after coming to this realization and quickly got involved in the space.
And his involvement ever since has not only been a boon for Brazilian 🇧🇷 Bitcoin developers but for the Bitcoin space at large.
I documented Lucas's incredible contributions in the piece below.
Enjoy!
What does it take to build a truly global Bitcoin protocol?
@lucasdcf, co-founder of @Vinteum_org, has spent years making space for Brazilian developers in the Bitcoin open-source ecosystem.
Through grants, education programs, and @casavinteum, Vinteum has helped 15+ developers land full-time roles at projects like @bitcoindevkit, @StratumV2, and @Blockstream.
