Dadvan Yousuf said he planned to “hoist the Bitcoin flag at the top of the world” to highlight the “global disparity in access to financial education.”
A 23-year-old crypto user plans to show off an orange flag with the Bitcoin (BTC) logo at the summit of Mount Everest to raise awareness for global financial literacy.
In a Feb. 28 X post, Dadvan Yousuf announced plans to climb the highest mountain in the world sometime between April and May, showing the BTC flag at the summit before taking it back to base camp. He said the trip was intended to highlight the “global disparity in access to financial education.”
Yousuf reportedly purchased roughly $340 worth of Bitcoin in 2011, later investing in Ether (ETH) and nonfungible tokens (NFTs). Born in Iraq and with a business now based in Dubai, his reported net worth was more than $300 million as of January 2022.
