🇰🇪 Bitcoin in Kibera — this is how crypto should work
While the world debates ETFs and megafunds, something real is happening in Nairobi’s slums: Bitcoin is being used as a lifeline.
🛠 Project: AfriBit Africa + Bitcoin Cowries 📍 Location: Kibera — Africa’s largest informal settlement 🎯 Mission: Build a sustainable, grassroots economy powered by BTC
🔹 What’s happening: • BTC payments for waste collection • BTC accepted at local markets and motorbike taxis • BTC used for saving — no banks, no IDs • BTC as a gateway to education: from digital literacy to coding
🔹 Why this is right: ✔ Crypto is solving real-world problems — financial access, inflation protection, economic agency ✔ This isn’t speculation — it’s survival ✔ No banks. No paperwork. Just a smartphone. ✔ Transparency, decentralization, and freedom — in practice, not in whitepapers
🧠 Fact: Some participants hold up to 70–80% of their net worth in BTC Because it’s the only asset they truly trust
🔮 What’s next? The project is growing, creating jobs, expanding to new regions, and reshaping how money works from the ground up. This is where the real financial revolution begins — not on Wall Street, but in the heart of Kibera.
📌 This is the true mission of Web3: not just to build DeFi — but to give people a second chance. And that chance often begins in the most unexpected places.
