Bitcoin Circular Economies Book

on YouTube ↗17m

" summary

A year of leader interviews and field research produces a non‑profit book documenting the first five Bitcoin circular economies — Bitcoin Beach, Praia Bitcoin (Brazil), Bitcoin Lake (Guatemala), Bitcoin Jungle (Costa Rica) and Bitcoin Aassi (South Africa) — claiming these projects are proof that Bitcoin works as day‑to‑day money, that time preference shifts measurably, and that an invisible support network scales replication. The team adds chapters for Indonesia and Peru, provides source material so communities can print and fund their own books, and launches an Africa‑only volume to collect dozens more stories.
