Last week, I had the privilege of visiting Nairobi, Kenya, where I witnessed firsthand the incredible proof of work being done by Bitcoin circular economy communities on the ground. One of the highlights of my visit was spending time with Afribit Kibera, a powerful example of grassroots Bitcoin adoption in action. I had the opportunity to learn how they strategically build and sustain a local circular economy — onboarding merchants, educating residents, and enabling businesses within Kibera to accept Bitcoin as a medium of exchange. Seeing small shops and vendors integrate Bitcoin payments into their daily operations was not just inspiring, but a clear demonstration that adoption is practical and achievable when community comes first. It was a pleasure to meet Ronnie and Mitchel of Afribit Kibera, whose commitment and consistency are driving real impact. Their leadership reflects long-term vision, strategic community engagement, and a deep understanding of local economic realities. I also had the chance to meet Obi, founder of FediMint, and we discussed how federated systems and community custody models can further accelerate secure and scalable Bitcoin usage in emerging markets. Beyond the education and strategy sessions, we shared great moments, laughter, and meaningful conversations with Afribit Kibera community members. I gained valuable insights into their operational strategies, merchant onboarding processes, and long-term expansion plans for growing Bitcoin adoption sustainably across Kenya. Thank you Ronnie and Mitchel for the incredible work being done at Afribit Kibera. High signal ⚡ Bitcoin adoption in Kenya.
