Thanks so much @Undisciplined — that’s a really helpful way to look at it 🙌
You're right, most people here already use mobile phones for Airtel Money or TNM Mpamba, so thinking of Bitcoin as "cash that doesn't need a bank" could really click with them.
Framing it as a backup or extra option makes it less scary too, especially during tough times when mobile money services are down or cash is tight.

I’ll try using that approach when I talk to people — start simple, practical, and local. Appreciate your insight! ⚡

Can Bitcoin Fit Into Malawian Culture?

It sounds like it could absolutely fit in with your culture. 

You mentioned that mobile phones are quite common, so you might be able to get people to think of it as cash on their phone that doesn't rely on any banking system to work.

Maybe people will initially think of it as a back up option for when they're short on cash or when they want to sell to someone who's short on cash.

Thinking about it that way might at least get people open enough to download a lightning wallet.
