INSIDE THE CIRCULAR BITCOIN AFRICA FUND (CBAF) - by Destiny Smart, Bitcoin Africa Story LINK TO FULL STORY: https://www.bitcoinafricastory.com/news/inside-the-circular-bitcoin-africa-fund-cbaf —————— 4,853. That’s how many bitcoin payments at African shops were filmed and approved between May 2025 and July 2026. Anyone can post about Bitcoin adoption on X or Instagram, but showing that people actually spend bitcoin at local shops takes more. The Circular Bitcoin Africa Fund (CBAF), an informal network of about 40 Bitcoin circular economies across Africa, asks its projects for that proof, and PoWBoT, a bot built by Bitcoin Ubuntu, checks it. Here’s how CBAF started, why its projects stay small, how PoWBoT checks each payment and what the numbers show so far. :: How the CBAF Started :: CBAF’s fund grew out of conversations between Mike Peterson of @bitcoinbeach_sv in El Salvador, @scottawolfe of the @fbceglobal and Hermann Vivier of @ekasi.btc in South Africa, whose project explains the thinking: “When sats are spent, they’re not being sold. They’re not going to Blackrock or Saylor. It’s not being converted to fiat. Instead, it stays right here, in this community.” The same page gives the numbers. At Adopting Bitcoin Cape Town in 2024, Bitcoin Witsand, Bitcoin Victoria Falls, Bitcoin Dua and Bitcoin Kampala each received 15 million sats with Bitcoin Beach’s support. From May 2025, CBAF tied its grants to filmed payments. Its first round covered 23 projects, and by August the next one had paid out 23 million sats, about $28,000. :: Why CBAF Projects Stay Small :: Bitcoin Ekasi’s public definition sets the model. A Bitcoin circular economy is “a geographically concentrated effort” where customers and merchants deal with each other directly in bitcoin. Services that let someone pay in bitcoin while the merchant receives fiat are “preferable to using fiat on both ends, but they’re not ideal,” it says. VISIT LINK ABOVE FOR FULL STORY.

BITCOIN IS A TOOL FOR EMPOWERMENT As we continue our mission to expand #Bitcoin education, we deeply appreciate the growth of our #Bitcoin community. Through the 5 cohorts (195 Graduates) we've completed so far, we've seen a wide reach of students joining us from various countries across Africa and beyond. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has played a crucial role in building this remarkable #Bitcoin community. A special thanks to the @myfirstbitcoin.io team for providing the essential tools and resources that make delivering #Bitcoin education seamless. We are equally grateful for the grassroots donations made through our @geyserfund page by generous #Bitcoiners in the space, including @reynachicas2 , @scottawolfe , @arnoldhubach , @jayberjay , @D_Spizzle1 and the many anonymous donors, as well as the @hrf. Your support has been instrumental in sustaining this project. Our online program has also benefited greatly from the contributions of Bitcoiners in the space who have participated as teachers and guest speakers. Their insights and knowledge have significantly enhanced our students’ understanding of #Bitcoin. We want to recognize and appreciate the dedication of The Core team— @felixdivoar , @jgntertainment , Kenyan Bitcoiner, Satstacker_21 @winnie._wambui , and @bitcoinubuntu who has consistently supported our initiative. We are also immensely thankful to the broader Bitcoin community for your support. This year, we’re aiming higher, focusing on spreading greater #Bitcoin awareness and introducing new programs to complement our existing offerings. These initiatives are designed to enhance hands-on learning, promote decentralization, and encourage self-custody. We remain committed to delivering quality #Bitcoin education and making all useful tools and resources open-source, enabling everyone to use them freely for their projects. 2025 is shaping up to be an exciting year for #Bitcoin! BITCOIN IS FOR EVERYONE

1 year in my home. 1 year back in Toronto. On this day I moved into my current apartment. Sober, afraid of being alone for the first time, finally working in my career - but all during a pandemic. A month after moving, my house became a home when Maxwell and I were reunited and he came meowing into my door. Throughout this year, despite the ebbing and flowing of the pandemic, I have managed to expand my career to heights I never expected, register two businesses, find my way back into the fashion scene, model on a runway, host so many amazing friends at my apartment and be unapologetically happy and myself. In the last 365 days I’ve managed working relentlessly, having an amazing social circle, going to 5 concerts and a festival, seeing family I had never met before and living everyday to the fullest. A version of me exists where this wouldn’t have worked, where I would’ve used substances frequently to cope with being alone. A version who would use the freedom as a means to wreak havoc on her on life and dreams because she didn’t love herself enough to think she deserved it. I deserve my little sanctuary in the city. Toronto, in many ways, showed me everything I could become and has saved my life. I have never, in 28 years, been happier than now. 💗
