Why should we build Bitcoin Circular Economies in Africa?
summary
Bitcoin circular economies prove Bitcoin as everyday money by getting sats to circulate locally rather than promising vague scale: a modeled project serves ~450 regular users focused on transaction frequency not merchant count, runs a claimed batch payout of 2,100 sats to 700+ people across eight countries in <30 minutes via Blink, spawns a dashboard and a proof‑of‑work bot built with AI by a non‑developer, resists stablecoin dependence, and links into a loose network of about 45 projects in Africa.
