Bitcoin is a tool, but knowledge is the key. The Treasure Academy physical meetups are turning theory into reality on the ground. When locals come together to learn, the understanding sticks. Here is what the community had to say about the impact @Josef Tětek

More Bitcoin Circular Economy coverage by Meave and Crew

At AfriBit Kibera, Bitcoin isn't a museum piece. It's a currency spent, accepted, and lived right here in Kibera Everyday. Missed Bitcoin Circular Economy Day? No worries. The movement isn't waiting for you. Let's grow the value in our communities. @Man Like Kweks @Josef Tětek @Federation of Bitcoin Circular Economies @Heinz

Bitcoin Circular Economy Day highlights @Josef Tětek @Man Like Kweks

🙏 Thank you to everyone who came out and visited @Afribit Kibera after the conference The community and merchants were absolutely thrilled earning sats, connecting with faces from across the Bitcoin world, and proving once again that this is so much bigger than money. This is what Bitcoin adoption looks like on the ground. 🧡⚡

🍕 Bitcoin Pizza Day, Kibera style — loading: → Ingredients bought from our BCE merchants → Local chefs will be paid in sats ⚡ → Pizza will be shared free with the community We're not waiting to be included in the economy. We ARE the economy. Stay tuned — @Minmo @Josef Tětek 🇰🇪🔥 #BitcoinPizzaDay #KiberaTogether #Bitcoin

Just copped from Krezyy Kicks in Kibera paid with⚡Bitcoin Lightning. Zero fees. Zero banks. Instant settlement. Got the Arsenal jersey too. Because we KNOW the Gunners are making that Champions League Final — and we're dressing for it NOW. #LightningNetwork #Arsenal #UCLFinal #AfribitKibera#BCE

The journey for self-determination continues — and it runs through Kibera.🔥 AFRICA BITCOIN DAY is coming. 23rd May 2026 📍 Soweto West, Kibera, Kenya 2PM Prompt Hosted by @afribitkibera Courtesy of @AfroBitcoinOrg @Farida Nabourema This isn't just an event. It's a declaration. Join us for: Bitcoin education sessions — knowledge is sovereignty Panels with voices from the ground Music, spoken word & dance — because the revolution has a rhythm From the ground up. Bitcoin for everyday life. Kibera is not the periphery. Kibera IS the movement. #AfricaBitcoinDay # #SelfDetermination #BitcoinconferencenNairobi

A direct comparison: sending Ksh 25,000 on a legacy rail costs Ksh 108 . The same amount on Bitcoin Lightning costs zero. In places like Kibera, where a circular economy depends on velocity of money, those fees don’t just add up, they extract value from the community. Lightning removes the middleman entirely: instant, final, no suits taking a cut.

In Kibera, hanging your boots means you chose a different path. @Afribit Kibera is making sure that path leads somewhere. Reformed youth aren’t waiting for governments or NGOs they’re running Bitcoin circular economies. This is what redemption looks like. 🔥⚡

As 2025 comes to a close, we’re deeply grateful to every partner, mentor, supporter, and visitor who stood with Afribit Kibera. Your presence, wisdom, and belief fueled real progress on the ground. This year we strengthened local commerce through 16 merchant accelerator sessions, supported 10 motorbike riders to full compliance, expanded our up cycling program with a focus on young women, supported 4 waste management initiatives, and continued mentoring builders across Kenya. Improved connectivity via Satanet also strengthened our digital backbone. Community-led collaboration works. 2025 laid the foundation 2026 is about deepening impact. Afribit Kibera Team.

As the festive season beckons, keep SPEDN and help build the circular economy. Merchant: Ruth Kwamboka Store Pay code: ruthkwamboka@blink.sv Location:
