summary

Firsthand field reporting from Zimbabwe shows monetary collapse as policy tool: exchange rates move from 1:28 to 1:35,000 ZWD per loaf within years, government issues a new ZiG currency with unverified gold backing and 10/20/50 notes, money exchangers get arrested and internet shutdowns silence dissent. Street markets set real rates, 60% live under $3/day and 95% hustle. Tech specifics: widespread USDT adoption, censorship-resistant tools like Nostr with apps such as BitChat via Bluetooth and Divine offer offline messaging and content ownership.
