Hi all, I'm looking for people that will help me establish a Bitcoin education and exchange system for the Arab world.
I feel as if we are responsible for establishing a working system. I have a Saudi Arabian passport, but I grew up in the U.S.

We have to deal with three broad issues:

1- Education
2- Safe Mode of Entry (Bitcoin Exchange)
3- Legality and Legitimacy

Legitimacy is important if you want BTC to enter the MENA region, due to several factors that you should be familiar with. The media portrays BTC as a preferable currency for gamblers and illegal activity, and influential people there may likely respond negatively towards BTC because of that. Of course fiat is used for those purposes on a grander scale, but most people will go by what they hear in the media.

Have you made any content in Arabic yet?
