When I traveled to Zimbabwe and Botswana the first time in 2020 I knew only one Bitcoin initiative on the whole continent. It was Alakanani Itireleng‘s Satoshi Centre in Gaborone. There might have been some others as the continent is huge. But it guess it was only a handful.

In 2022 we started Bitcoin for Fairness (npub1fqq…qzch) Bitcoin for Fairness #Zambia, initiated what later became Bitcoin Reach in #Zimbabwe and worked with bitcoinekasi (npub1zkr…k6ec) in #SouthAfrica.

Now there are:
118 Total Bitcoin organizations in 18 African countries.
17 new orgs added in Q2 (+16%)
2 new countries with Bitcoin activity: Tanzania and Malawi
Map by: African Bitcoiners (npub1q7q…q5kj)
