The panel “Bitcoin’s Role in the Muslim World” at the recent Abu Dhabi Bitcoin conference highlighted how decentralised finance intersects with faith, ethics, and global inclusion. The speakers (Host Bruce Fenton, @MuaawiyahTucker, @Muslim Bitcoiner, @farooq) explored Bitcoin not just as a technology, but as a tool for empowerment, transparency, and community resilience across Muslim societies. Key Themes from the Panel: - Faith & Finance Alignment: Panelists emphasised how Bitcoin’s principles of transparency, fairness, and non-riba (interest-free) exchange resonate with Islamic financial ethics. - Global Muslim Adoption: With over 1.9 billion Muslims worldwide, the discussion underscored Bitcoin’s potential to serve communities often underserved by traditional banking. - Economic Empowerment: Bitcoin was framed as a pathway for individuals and families to protect wealth against inflation, access cross-border trade, and participate in a global economy without intermediaries. - Community & Education: The panel stressed the importance of grassroots education—helping families, youth, and entrepreneurs understand Bitcoin’s practical use cases beyond speculation. - Policy & Regulation: The speakers acknowledged challenges around regulation in Muslim-majority countries, but also pointed to growing interest from governments and institutions in integrating Bitcoin into ethical finance frameworks. This conversation was more than technical; it was cultural and spiritual. The panel showed how Bitcoin can be contextualised within Islamic values, offering a bridge between tradition and innovation. For Muslim communities worldwide, it represents both a financial lifeline and a chance to lead in shaping the future of ethical digital finance. Bitcoin is not just code; it’s a chance to align finance with values. The Abu Dhabi panel on Bitcoin’s Role in the Muslim World reminded us that decentralisation can empower communities, respect faith, and build resilience. A powerful vision for the future.
