Bitcoin is priceless. Only the fiat-minded, who are retarded, measure Bitcoin's value in fiat. Bitcoin''s value is measured in its ability to enhance freedom and sovereignty.

Thanks for sharing. Promoting Bitcoin Circular Economies is a good idea. Here's an example of how Bitcoin Circular Economies is a reality. Special thanks to [KG](npub1773r2y5zl3sa7xufmye96un3hf02rse8j82hkd45ps0wvk2hrkasslesjt) for all Bitcoin projects, including [Machankura](npub1nv4j840c5ugjjq7ym3sqkz5jcschjx8ulnaa90645av0rwdylm9qv9x0gr). https://image.nostr.build/3eb564ce81902ac945fa8cf5b0b3949169b4803308e14b0214802ad8d346f35a.jpg

How Bitcoin Empowers Village Banks Without Internet in Africa.
Village banking is a microcredit methodology whereby financial services are administered locally rather than centralized in a formal bank.
Neighbors come together in Village Banking groups. Individuals borrow working capital for their microenterprises, and the group guarantees those loans. Village Banking also encourages neighbors to support each other while growing their businesses; these mutual support groups can help invigorate entire communities.
This is where Machankura Wallet becomes a solution in Africa. Machankura Clans give users the ability to send and receive funds collectively. If you're in Malawi, just dial: *384*8333*0265#, to create a wallet and select option '6' to create a clan or see clan invitations.
Sending funds requires approval from the members or admins. With the added option to proportionally distribute the balance to all members. This ensures transparency and cooperation among members. Each clan can have an approval policy for each action or spend on the clan.
The group name becomes the lightning address in the format: 'malawi@8333.mobi', to receive funds. You can also receive funds to your group wallet via your LNURL like: 'https://8333.mobi/malawi'.

It's not always about working hard and being patient in order to achieve goals. Sometimes it's not just about putting in the time and effort. It's also about ensuring that we are moving in the right direction.
Remember, it's not always about how patient and hardworking you are, but about whether you are headed in the right direction. It's about working smarter, not just harder. So, don't waste your precious time. You may be on the wrong direction. Take a step back and reassess your direction.

Don't Vote For A Politician. Vote For The Truth, And Be Free
Let's be real here - politicians are notorious for making promises they can't keep. It's like a cycle of deception that never seems to end. So if you're voting for a politician thinking that they will actually make things better, think again. It's like setting yourself up for disappointment from the get-go.
The moment a politician starts talking, it's like a switch flips and the lies just start pouring out. They will say whatever it takes to get your vote, but when it comes down to actually following through on their words, it's a different story. It's like they have a handbook on how to deceive the public and they all seem to be following the same playbook.
At the end of the day, it's hard to distinguish one politician from another because they all seem to be cut from the same cloth. It's like a game of smoke and mirrors where the truth is hidden behind a facade of empty promises. So if you're pinning your hopes on a politician to bring about real change, you're setting yourself up for disappointment. It's time to wake up to the reality that politicians may talk a big game, but at the end of the day, actions speak louder than words.

Machankura has now added, the Malawi's native language, Chichewa on the Wallet menu. This makes onboarding the population much easier, as the country's rural communities still have very low literacy rate.
Thank you KG for making Bitcoin accessible to anyone, anywhere at any time in Africa.
