ROYA MAHBOOB: #BITCOIN LEGEND

Used BTC to flee the Taliban
Gave 100s of women financial freedom

A thread ️‍🔥 Image
1/ Born in Afghanistan’s Herat Province, Roya was torn from her homeland during Soviet occupation.

2/ Roya found herself deprived of any rights in Afghanistan.

Women were discouraged from using technology – they were stalked, harassed, and threatened with violence.

She came to the US and launched a company ❗❗
