💥Celebrating Malawian Grant Gombwa (@GrantGombwa3 on X) as one of the 21 Most Impactful African Bitcoiners of 2025! 🇲🇼 Together with cofounders Nick Twyman (@TwymanNicholas on X) and Ian Foster (@Ianfost on X), Grant and the Bitcoin Boma Coalition have placed Malawi firmly on the African Bitcoin map. Through hands-on education, university workshops, community meetups, merchant onboarding, and the Bitcoin Diploma program, they have built a grassroots movement rooted in self-custody, financial literacy, and community empowerment. Their work did more than teach Bitcoin, it united people, strengthened local confidence, and sparked a cultural shift toward sovereign money in Malawi. Thank you, Grant.
