Financial exclusion is usually taught from textbooks. Next week, we’re bringing it from the ground.
McMaster global health students will explore the work of @AfribitKibera and Belyï Nobel Kubwayo of @btcshule , part of the @MyFirstBitcoin_ movement.

Our onboarding agents are on the ground, bringing more businesses into the Bitcoin economy through Rurbit.
One merchant at a time. One step closer to making Bitcoin accessible to everyone. ₿🧡

Honored to be featured in the @HRF Financial Freedom Report!
Our goal at @rurbit is to bring instant Bitcoin Lightning and mobile money on/off-ramps to the people who need it the most using basic mobile phones and with no internet required.

In December 2025, leaders of more than a dozen Bitcoin circular economies across Africa sat in one room for the first time.
Each had taken the model @Bitcoinbeach started in El Zonte, El Salvador, and adapted it to their own community.
Bitcoin Beach's report names 15 projects from nine countries, including Bitcoin Ekasi (@BitcoinEkasi) in a Mossel Bay township, Afribit Kibera (@afribitkibera) in Nairobi and BTC Shule (@btcshule) in a village in Burundi.
They met in Mauritius because visa, travel and financial barriers keep many African builders out of global Bitcoin events.
@zackdorseyx filmed it. The clips are coming out now, including @thecoachayobami of @BitKwaofficial and @BrindonMwiine of @BitcoinKampala.
Next stop: the Global Bitcoin Circular Economies Summit in El Zonte, November 19 and 20, open to the public for the first time.

A pen may be a small purchase, but it can be a meaningful Bitcoin moment. ⚡@rurbit
A mother made a simple everyday purchase using sats showing that Bitcoin can move beyond savings and into daily life.

She needed Omo. She had sats.
With a simple tap on her phone, the payment was done. 🧼⚡ @rurbit
This is what adoption looks like: simple, practical, and accessible.

Have you ever looked at a Bitcoin Circular Economy project posting about adoption on X, and wondered:
"Is this even real?"
Well, so have we.
Which is why, since early 2025, we've been working on something that helps to answer that question.

Built by @BitcoinUbuntu, the @PoW_Checkbot is a Real-Time Automated Proof-of-Work Verification system for Bitcoin Circular Economy projects.
It's built to remove some trust, by giving projects the opportunity to verify that the adoption they claim, is in fact real.
Go check it out!

A little boy picks up a bottle of juice and pays with sats. 🧃⚡ @rurbit
A simple purchase, but a meaningful step toward making Bitcoin part of everyday life.

In 2019, a small surf town in El Salvador started an experiment: what if a whole community ran on bitcoin? 🌊
Last year in Mauritius, 14 projects across Africa that took the El Zonte model and made it their own met in one room for the very first time.
We were there with cameras rolling. Over the next few weeks we’re releasing clips from the minidoc we made: their stories, their successes, their struggles, and how they’re picking up the pieces and building their own future, on their own terms. 🌍
This is what a circular economy looks like when it spreads.
Now the movement comes home. The Global Bitcoin Circular Economies Summit returns to El Zonte, and this time it’s open to everyone.

Bitcoin circular economies represent the most important movement in Bitcoin ₿
Not number go up. Not treasury reserves.
Small towns in the Global South operating 100% on Bitcoin, with no banks, no bureaucracy, just access 🌍🤝
The 30 certified graduates of @TrezorAcademy had direct access to the Bootcamp, organized by ⚡️
But first, they built a strong foundation in Bitcoin through Trezor Academy classes. 🎓

What if everyday essentials could also become moments to experience Bitcoin? 🧼⚡
Today, it’s a soap.
Tomorrow, it could be groceries, transport, or something else. @blinkbtc @fedibtc
