Throughout our journey, we have recognized the importance of equipping individuals with the tools and knowledge needed to navigate the complexities of the Bitcoin space. From educational resources to practical guidance, we have worked tirelessly to ensure that every African has the opportunity to participate in the Bitcoin revolution.

  • In our ongoing mission to foster Bitcoin adoption across Africa, we are excited to announce the launch of our latest initiative: the African Bitcoin Community Builders Program. Our goal is to recruit, train and fund the first 5 community builder firms in our top five countries: Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, Zimbabwe, and South Africa.

    These community builders will serve as ambassadors for Bitcoin, spreading awareness and driving adoption within their local communities. Through comprehensive training programs, they will be equipped with the knowledge. funds and skills needed to effectively communicate the benefits of Bitcoin and address common misconceptions.

    But we can’t do it alone.

    Every 3 million sats contributed to this initiative will help us fund a community builder for a year. 

By supporting our initiative, you are directly contributing to the growth and expansion of the Bitcoin ecosystem in Africa. Please visit our Geyser Crowdfunding page and contribute to this new phase of Bitcoin adoption in Africa.
