Hello African Bitcoiner,
Privacy is a basic human right. Every individual deserves the right to choose the level of privacy they wish to maintain without being labeled or sanctioned for it. At African Bitcoiners, we believe in the power and importance of privacy. You may have noticed that many of our team members choose to remain private, and you might be wondering why. Today, we want to share our commitment to privacy and the reasons behind it.

Privacy and secrecy are often confused, but they are fundamentally different. Secrecy hides information to obscure the truth, while privacy protects personal space and information. Bitcoin, with its decentralized nature, empowers individuals to maintain their privacy without compromising transparency and trust. Here are some key reasons why privacy is essential for us at African Bitcoiners:
Countering Corruption:Â Many African governments are known for their corruption and can be quite brutal. Bitcoin takes away some of their power by providing an alternative financial system that is decentralized and transparent. Our privacy ensures that we can continue this work without undue interference or threats.
Protecting Our Team:Â Privacy ensures the safety and security of our team members, allowing them to work without fear of harassment or undue attention.
Safeguarding Personal Information:Â We respect the personal lives of our team members, keeping their identities confidential to protect their personal information. This protection extends beyond our team to all our community members.
Focus on Mission:Â By maintaining privacy, our team can concentrate on our mission of bringing Bitcoin to Africa without distractions or external pressures.
Empowering Authentic Work:Â Privacy allows our team to work authentically and effectively, ensuring that our efforts are genuine and focused on our goals.Â
To understand more about our dedication to privacy and how it benefits our organization and the wider Bitcoin community, we encourage you to check out our “Why We Are Private” page.
