Bitcoin in action: Real-world adoption at the grassroots level. At the Bitcoin Ekasi Thrift Shop, community members are using Bitcoin Satoshis to purchase everyday necessities, including second-hand clothing for kids. Using mobile wallets like Wallet of Satoshi and Blink, transactions are fast, low-cost, and accessible. This is a prime example of how circular Bitcoin economies empower local communities and promote financial inclusion. Learn more or support the project: support.bitcoinekasi.com

Have you ever looked at a Bitcoin Circular Economy project posting about adoption and wondered: "Is this even real?" Well, so have we. Which is why, since early 2025, we've been working on something that helps to answer that question.
