Increase your earning power with Bitcoin!

  • 13th issue |7th February 2023

Hello African Bitcoiner,

These few days of the year have been a total disaster in countries such as Nigeria. For maybe the first time in history, people have money in their banks but can’t access that money. To access cash, you have to pay 10–15% withdrawal charges because someone, somewhere, gave the order that the money the country operated with previously is all of a sudden obsolete. This situation has put the nation into an unprecedented crisis, as millions of people are unable to pay for their daily needs.

We may all sit wherever you are reading from and say, “Too bad for them.” Unfortunately, as we all know, the government, regardless of country or continent, will always prioritize its political agenda over the needs of the people! This is why more than ever we all need to build an alternative economy where we exert total control. This is why Bitcoin is so precious! Bitcoin is giving every African the power to live above the mayhem our governments are constantly plunging us into with their corrupt and selfish decisions.

We are very aware that not all Africans may be able to afford to buy Bitcoin. This is why we’ve created an earn session on our website, where no matter where you are, you can get paid in Bitcoin!

More details are below:

  • Brand new Bitcoin earn section 💎

We understand the struggles of buying Bitcoin with fiat in the present African economy; the US dollar conversion first reduces your fiat and ends up affording you a tiny fraction of Bitcoin.  We understand this and are excited to announce a perfect solution that allows you to earn Bitcoin! We are excited to announce that we have created an “earn” section on our website comprising a Bitcoiner Jobs page and a Places to Earn Sats page. Please give us feedback on how we can improve them.
