We are excited to announce Hermann Buhr Vivier @BitcoinEkasi as one of the speakers at the Africa Bitcoin Conference in Blantyre, Malawi. Hermann Buhr Vivier is the founder of Bitcoin Ekasi, a Bitcoin circular economy project based in Mossel Bay, South Africa. Bitcoin Ekasi was founded in 2021 and is directly inspired by Bitcoin Beach (El Salvador). Hermann first encountered Bitcoin in late 2013, thanks to an early print edition of Bitcoin Magazine. He was later properly indoctrinated in 2015, when Bitcoin helped them bypass financial sanctions that separated their tourism business from its client base, saving the company. That experience sparked a deep interest in Bitcoin as a practical solution to problems, particularly as an uncensorable medium of exchange. Don’t miss any of his session at ABC2026.

How is Bitcoin adoption progressing in Malawi? 🇲🇼 Bitcoin adoption in Malawi is still in its early stages, but grassroots activity is growing. There are challenges around infrastructure, awareness, access to exchanges and wallets, and regulatory clarity. Bitcoin has potential to address important needs, including financial inclusion and lower-cost remittances. Some Key Projects Driving Bitcoin Adoption in Malawi: 🔷Bitcoin Boma Coalition — A not-for-profit organisation educating Malawians about Bitcoin’s economic, social and environmental benefits. X handle: @BitcoinBoma 🔷Women of Satoshi Cooperative (WSC) — An initiative focused on Bitcoin education and financial sovereignty for women, while supporting sustainable circular economies. X handle: @womenofsatoshi 🔷Open Study Hubs — Open Study Hubs are physical, decentralised Bitcoin learning spaces focused on local-language Bitcoin education, practical Bitcoin use powered by Machankura, onboarding families and merchants, training facilitators rather than influencers, and building village-level circular economies. X handle: @RightOnTheTape 🔷BitDevs Malawi — BitDevs Malawi is a grassroots Bitcoin education and developer community bringing together students, developers, builders and curious learners through meetups and university programmes. X handle: @Bitdevs_Malawi These projects are helping lay the foundations for broader Bitcoin adoption in Malawi. A major catalyst is the 5th Africa Bitcoin Conference (@AfroBitcoinOrg #ABC2026) in Blantyre (2–5 December 2026, expected 1,000+ attendees). 👇 Explore more African Bitcoin initiatives on the live directory: directory.bitcoiners.africa
