Bitcoin Kampala Uganda on Nostr: Following my visit to BitcoinArusha last week, my next stop was afribitkibera earlier ...

Following my visit to last week, my next stop was earlier this week.

Ronnie, Mitch(the first vendor to accept #Bitcoin) & the team generously took an entire afternoon to walk us through the #Bitcoin Valley.

For those unfamiliar, the #Bitcoin Valley is a street in Kibera(Nairobi’s largest slum) where #Bitcoin is actively used as a medium of exchange.

Every vendor we interacted with and spent sats with was not only accepting Bitcoin, but was also well-educated about it. Many had old QR codes displayed, showing they’ve been accepting #Bitcoin for quite a while now.

We were able to buy fresh groceries, cold drinks & I even got myself a Man Utd old school jacket all paid in #Bitcoin

You can feel the impact #Bitcoin is having on people’s lives just from how warmly they welcome the idea of being paid in sats.

There’s a vendor training happening today that I’m excited to attend.

This circular economy needs more hands, so if you’ve been thinking about volunteering, now’s a good time to reach out and get involved
