Following my visit to BITCOIN ARUSHA last week, my next stop was Afribit Kibera 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
