Hello Friend,

This has never happened before.

For the first time ever, a Bitcoin book has been written for Africans, by Africans, not as an afterthought, not from a global north lens, but with our stories, our struggles, and our hopes front and center.

It’s called Bitcoin: Africa’s Guide to Freedom Money , a map out of our broken systems and a blueprint for financial freedom.
And it’s yours.

Download it free on our website.

UPDATE HIGHLIGHTS ⚡

  • The First Bitcoin Book for Africans

  • African Bitcoin News

  • African Lightning Network Weekly Stats

  • African Bitcoin Jobs

  • African Bitcoin Events

We wrote this book because Bitcoin education shouldn’t be complicated, expensive, or out of reach.

For too long, most of the Bitcoin content out there has been written for people in the Global North, using terms, examples, and systems that don’t reflect life here in Africa. We wanted to change that.

So we created something different:
Bitcoin: Africa’s Guide to Freedom Money, a book made specifically for people who’ve never heard about Bitcoin, or who’ve only heard myths and confusion.

It’s simple. It’s friendly. And it’s built for you.

We break things down in everyday language:

  • What is Bitcoin, really?

  • Why are so many people talking about it?

  • How does it help with saving, sending, or protecting money?

  • How do I start using it even if I only have a basic smartphone

By the time you’re done reading, you’ll know:

  • What Bitcoin is and why it matters

  • How to protect your savings from inflation

  • How to send and receive money with zero middlemen

  • How to hold Bitcoin safely even without a bank account

  • How to explain Bitcoin to your friends, family, or community

We believe Bitcoin is a tool for freedom, but only if people can understand it. That’s why we wrote this, to make it accessible to everyone, no matter your background, tech level, or location.

You just need to be curious and ready to take control of your financial future.

Start here. Start now. Start with Bitcoin.
