Bitget COO Vugar Usi Zade Speaks on Blockchain Education at TEDx Manila

VICTORIA, Seychelles, Sept. 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bitget, the world's leading cryptocurrency exchange and Web3 company, is proud to share Chief Operating Officer Vugar Usi Zade’s talk “The Next Billion Minds: Why Blockchain Education Matters More Than Blockchain Itself” delivered on September 8 at TEDx Forbes Park, held at Bonifacio High Street Cinemas in Manila’s Bonifacio Global City. The session formed part of the 2025 speaker program curated by the Global AI Council.

Drawing on real-world lessons from Bitget’s education initiatives, Vugar focused on how literacy and access unlock autonomy long before price charts and protocols matter. The event featured a diverse lineup alongside Vugar, including Shekhar Natarajan, Dr. Jacqueline M. Tolentino, Ben Nadareski, Dr. Bryce Appelbaum, and actor-entrepreneur Marvin Agustin, reflecting TEDx Forbes Park’s broad lens on systems, vision, and culture.

"At TEDx in Manila, I spoke about money, education, and why they unlock real freedom," said Vugar Usi Zade, Chief Operating Officer at Bitget. "We're not here to build blockchain for its own sake. We're here to build thinkers who question, design, and ship. We’re here to build the next billion minds."

In celebration of its 7th Anniversary, Bitget organized a vibrant Builders Night on September 7, setting an enthusiastic tone ahead of Vugar’s TEDx appearance. This community gathering featured engaging elements such as creator AMAs, quick-hit workshops, friendly competitions, and social-first moments designed for Builders, VIPs, and Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs). It was a clear demonstration of Bitget’s commitment to fostering a dynamic community.

"The growth of our Builder community across the Philippines since 2024 shows what happens when you give talent room to lead and tools to learn," said Philippines Country Manager Jose Mendoza. "Builder+ is proof that a strong program can turn passion into measurable reach and real-world momentum, and we're only getting started."

Vugar’s “Next Billion Minds” message framed education as the pathway from curiosity to independence to innovation. His appearance alongside a diverse roster of speakers underscored the event’s role as a platform for ideas with real-world impact, and it aligns squarely with Bitget’s drive to make financial literacy and Web3 skills part of everyday learning through initiatives like Blockchain4Youth. Bitget will continue to build on its Blockchain4Youth and Blockchain4Her programs, partnerships, and tools that help the next generation think critically, build confidently, and participate meaningfully in the Web3 economy.
