Upcoming ‘Bitcoin Awakens Festival’ Seeks to Educate New Users and Help the Underbanked

A group called Cyberfunks Alliance plans to hold a Bitcoin Awakens festival on November 6 to bridge the gap between bitcoin and the underbanked.
Bitcoin Awakens will be held at the organization’s headquarters, Urban Co-Lab in Austin, Texas. The event is designed to help new users get oriented to acquiring and using bitcoin through a fun and interactive game.
Cost to participate is $99 benefiting the Central Food Bank of Texas.
Teams of three will solve up to 15 challenges throughout the city of Austin to reveal the coordinates of a secret location for a victory party in honor of the mysterious creator of the bitcoin protocol.
The teams will scour sectors of Austin in the Texas quadrant. Teams will use bitcoin, camaraderie and wit to find clues needed to bypass the ‘Bankchain Cartel’ and reopen supply lines for the food bank.
Focus on bitcoin literacy
The event will address aspects of bitcoin literacy: the value of digits, monetary theory, distributed networks, open source software and cryptography.
