EcoBitz is a Bitcoin only project based in Kenya. We are building a circular economy revolving around recycling glass, plastics and electronic waste while onboarding merchants to accept Bitcoin payments. We are taking the lead to spread Bitcoin adoption through quality Bitcoin education and creative approach to spark creativity for a sustainable Bitcoin community.

Using Bitcoin as money for everyday transactions #spedn sats Merchant - to - Merchant. Zap Merchants: mrefugroceries@blink.sv smartcarwash@blink.sv Unbanked merchants supporting each other through keeping sats circulating within their businesses peer-to-peer is the magic behind grassroots Bitcoin adoption. This merchants simply needed someone trustful to guide them on how to send and receive Bitcoin, be there for them when they have issues with their wallets. This are the vital roles being played by circular economies by shaping the reality of Bitcoin as a fast, affordable and convenient medium of exchange. #pow

EcoBitz recycling team is on the move. Last Saturday we held a coordinated community clean-up with support from the neighbourhood Mitaboni Visionaries and powered by Bitcoin. We covered just a few walk ways where plastic papers and discarded glass bottles had taken over. I could notice the local community taking interest in the exercise, some came to the Bitcoin hub, got information about the whole initiative, some asked what Bitcoin was but the smart ones asked what they could build with it. The initiative is about showing up, cleaning up the community, getting rewarded with sats, learning how to send and receive Bitcoin, spending the sats peer-to-peer to merchants in the circular economy and saving their value in self-custody. This is a real-time reminder that change doesn't happen overnight, it builds slowly and gradually, until one day the results catch up with the efforts being done of building on sound money. #pow⚡

#spedn Zap merchant: landskoma@blink.sv Find merchant on BTCMap: Confidence isn't just what you wear, a good scent sets the mood right, inspires confidence and leaves a lasting impression. It actually smells better when paid in small units of Bitcoin, Satoshis. Thinking in sats is the new way of pricing goods and circular economies are taking the lead in building the future of sound money. #pow

#spedn Satoshis peer-to-peer Zap merchants; mungumbelegrocery@blink.sv viancyber@blink.sv In the heart of African Savannah, the story of Bitcoin's use case as a medium of exchange is being told by unbanked merchants supporting each other. Communities are opting out of the centralized, opaque fiat system and embracing a transparent, decentralised and borderless Lightning Bitcoin network. Bitcoin is money and it's being used by those who need it the most to access basic needs. Thinking in sats is the real magic . #pow

Bitcoin Nairobi Conference just concluded last Friday in @Afribit Kibera where Bitcoiners walked through the Bitcoin valley, supporting merchants accepting Bitcoin payments and witnessing first hand what life on a Bitcoin standard looks like. Upcycling initiatives displayed their proof-of-work, Upcycled glasses, hand made Art, merchandise, peanut butter and beadwork, as proof that grassroots Bitcoin only initiatives are building without asking for permission. Special thanks to everyone who came through @Fedi booth, asked questions and left with a set up wallet and some stickers. Now the signal is back to communities and we're building at a maximum speed. Let's build on Bitcoin, Stay tuned! @Bitcoin Famba @Satoshi53 @BitcoinEkasi @Bitbiashara image

#spedn the freedom money for basic needs Zap merchant: javarjuice@blink.sv ⚡ btcmap.org/merchant/40195 Bitcoin is succeeding as a medium of exchange and money for everyday use because individuals earning sats locally keep the sats circulating within the circular economy peer-to-peer, hence contributing to a full cycle circular economy philosophy of Earn - spend - save Bitcoin locally. Japheth earns his Satoshis from his Graffiti business, he spends them locally for things that matter most, basic needs. #POW

#spedn Bitcoin to purchase storage sacks Zap merchant; mitaboniplaystation@blink.sv Find merchant on BTCMap; Bitcoin circular economies will thrive when we keep the Bitcoin value circulating within our communities peer-to-peer. Today we're celebrating this merchant for having the confidence to learn how Bitcoin works and use it as a growth strategy in his business. His shop operates as a playstation space, a general shop for beverages and snacks. Bitcoin is so easy to use as money for everyday transactions. #POW

He collected discarded bottles in his home compound, cleaned them and brought them to the recycling centre where he got rewarded with Satoshis. He later visited this merchant to grab some snacks and ensure the sats keep flowing peer-to-peer in the circular economy. More young people are joining the movement and embracing Bitcoin as money. #POW

From Bitcoin education to real empowerment and environmental restoration. The real inspiration came from practical learning and many sessions we attended @Afribit Kibera. Because of them, we have been replicating the model recycling, upcycling, waste management and Bitcoin spoken word to spark creativity in our circular economy. More young people are actually realising the potential of Bitcoin to provide banking services to them, leapfrogging from the traditional unfair banking system and securing their hard earned value in self custody. Let's keep learning from each other. Bitcoin is a blessing to Humanity. #POW
