📉 Growth is not always upwards! Africa’s Bitcoin ecosystem now has 180 verified projects across 23 countries. That is down from 189 projects in Q3, a 4.8% decrease after our latest directory review. But a smaller number does not necessarily mean less growth.🚨 As part of our regular review, 11 projects were removed because they were no longer active, no longer met our Bitcoin-only criteria, or had unresolved technical issues. At the same time, 2 new verified projects were vetted and added, bringing the total to 180 projects. The goal is not simply to keep adding projects to the map, it is to maintain an accurate, up-to-date directory of active Bitcoin-only initiatives across Africa. If your project is already listed, claim it and keep your information up to date. If you’re building Bitcoin in Africa and are not on the map yet, submit your project for review. A special thank you to the builders, communities and organisations continuing to drive Bitcoin adoption across Africa. 🧡 Check out the Live African Bitcoin Directory, discover the builders, and share it with more builders across the continent. 🔗 image

@African Bitcoiners Cutting 11 inactive or non-compliant projects and adding 2 verified ones to land at 180 across 23 countries is a 4.8 percent drop that makes the directory more useful, since a map with dead pins on it is worse than a smaller map that is right. Pruning on a schedule is the unglamorous work most directories skip. I would rather cite 180 real ones than 189 with ghosts.
