Good evening from Bitcoin Chama? With the recent rise in bitcoin price, Most people have been coming to us surprised by how much and how fast their saving grew!, not so much but they are surprised it grew. (also means they are paying attention) Most of the people in our community don't have a way to check Bitcoin price since they don't have smartphones. We are thinking of getting something like a digital bitcoin clock that updates the Bitcoin price for our community. Irregardless of the price, some people are already living on a Bitcoin standard in Rural Kenya. The numbers are increasing. Meet Vane, she paid for Body lotion and paid with Bitcoin from a feature phone using Machankura wallet. #spedn #Bitcoinkwawote

Good morning #Nostr? Helena bought a bar of soap from shop in our local community and paid with Bitcoin using Machankura wallet! More people are using Bitcoin more on a daily basis in our community, especially women. That's because, most of them are earning in sats. They are earning in sats, saving in sats and spending in sats #SPEDN #Bitcoinkwawote

Good evening from Bitcoin Chama? The best thing about our community is, we don't have a lot of shops in our community and Most people buy their products from one shop in our local community. This makes it easier to onboard more people and it is easier for people normalize using Bitcoin as a medium of exchange. Mercy is almost living on a Bitcoin standard in Rural Kenya on a feature phone. Today, she bought 2 tins of maize for milling and paid with Bitcoin using Machankura wallet! #Bitcoinkwawote #SPEDN

Good morning From Bitcoin Chama? Over the past few days, we have been very busy between bee harvesting, goat hunting and the farms that I didn't find time to update you guys . It took us 4 days to finish harvesting honey from the hives. What made us take this long was because of the distance between the hives locations. In one of the locations, someone went and stole our honey and Harvested 6 of our hives. They actually used the traditional method of burning the Bees before extracting the honey which is pretty bad for both us and the bees. Minus that, we had a very good harvest. We didn't get out unscathed, these are the African wild bees, very violent. I got out with 3 stings(not to worry, we believe bee stings are medicine😅) I took a 2-day break before I start preparing the honey. Purify it and pack it. We will later sell for sats. We are not there yet, we are still building. Check out our geyser page and support where you can : #Bitcoinkwawote #keepthesatsflowing #Hapanikazitu

Good evening from Bitcoin Chama? The women have been working hard on the farm to ensure they have delivered all the orders we get for the vegetables, and also to ensure we stack morer sats They have to drop what they are doing sometimes to attend to those orders. We award sats to the women who have participated at the end of every week for the effort they have put. After we had plucked vegetables for some orders today, we rewarded the members some sats. These sats we usually reward the members are to fuel the circular economy and ensure the sats keep flowing. #Bitcoinkwawote #keepthesatsflowing

Good evening from Kisii Kenya? The farm is doing really well. We have had quite a number of orders over the past week. We usually sell in fiat and then buy sats directly to the Machankura clan wallet directly through bitika.xyz We want to convert the people in our community especially the members totally onto the Bitcoin standard way of life. We get to use the best money ever created in our community for daily transactions. What a time to be alive! Earn, save, spend & Repeat! #stacksats #Bitcoinkwawote image

Good evening from Bitcoin Chama? The merchants in our community play a crucial role in our circular community. They are the community's ATMs. Since most of the people in our community don't have access to the internet, Whenever someone wants to buy bitcoin, he/she will come and buy from a merchant with cash in exchange for sats. And when a person wants to sell Bitcoin for cash, he/she will sell sats to the merchant. Alice is one of the Bitcoin Chama members, she has been saving her sats for sometime now. She rarely spends her sats. But, Today, she came to sell the sats she has been saving in exchange for kes to send to her elder son who is in campus for upkeep. #Bitcoinkwawote

Good evening from Bitcoin Chama? A self sustainable Bitcoin community? Yes, it's possible, we are on our way there! When the women help with work around the farm, they earn sats, we sell the vegetables in sats, we save what we earn in sats! We will spend the sats in the local shops. We are circulating the sats locally within our community. The community is orange! Most of the women in the chama are now using bitcoin for day to day purchases since they are now familiar with it. Mercy is one of the frequent sats spenders. She is a small scale farmer who mostly relies on earnings from providing day to day labour for survival, but whenever she finds she has been left with extra cash, she always buys bitcoin with it for savings. Yesterday, she bought vegetables from our farm and paid with Bitcoin using Machankura wallet. #Spedn #Bitcoinkwawote

Good evening from Bitcoin Chama? The women Chama are working hard day in day out to earn sats. This week we have had a lot of orders for the vegetables. The members met around 7AM at the farm to harvest for the orders. We had orders for seedlings for people to go and plant in their own gardens, others wanted us to harvest for them for consumption and others to go and sell. Later when we received the money, we bought bitcoin to our Machankura clan wallet directly through bitika.xyz! #Bitcoinkwawote image
