Why Bitcoin is Halal: Islamic Finance in the Digital Age - January 23rd 12:00-13:00

Thank you to the University of Calgary for hosting our founder, Krista Edmunds for this recent talk.ICYMI the event, you can watch the playback here, which explores how Bitcoin aligns with the principles of Islamic finance (and Christianity as it happens!). You will need to turn the sound up as we unfortunately had to record it on an iphone so the sound is not as loud as we would have liked :).

This talk unpacks the inefficiencies and ethical challenges of the fiat monetary system, highlighting its reliance on debt and riba (interest), which Islam strictly prohibits. Discover how Bitcoin, with its decentralized and transparent framework, offers an ethical alternative that promotes financial fairness, accountability, and empowerment—values deeply rooted in the teachings of the Qur’an.

Whether you’re curious about modern Islamic finance, passionate about ethical innovation, or intrigued by Bitcoin’s transformative potential, this talk will inspire and inform, unveiling bridges between tradition and technology.
