I'm about to launch a satraising on Geyser, to building a Bitcoin Circular Economy in my area. So, I decided to share this here in the ~Geyser_Community territory first. So I can get some advice on how best to make this successful. To begin with, I need your financial support in order to launch the project on Geyser. I'm certain and determined that this step is an essential step in order to achieve the goal. That's my own approach to building a BCE in my area.

What are your honest but constructive thoughts?

My project is about breaking the last barrier to adoption in Malawi: liquidity. We’ve orange-pilled a good number of people through BitcoinBoma and WomenOfSatoshi, but without a way to easily exchange the dying local currency into bitcoins, most can’t put it into practice. With MWK now live on Mostro, following my humble requested to the Mostro team,

I want to kickstart the first BTC/MWK market, seed it with sats, and make sure new users can actually buy Bitcoin the moment they learn about it. Add Azteco vouchers for folks without internet, and eventually everyone—from the smartphone crowd to the feature-phone farmer—has a way in.

Bitcoin Wathu is to be a grassroots project to build a living Bitcoin circular economy, where everyday people use sats to trade, save, and support one another — without banks, with/without internet, without permission.

Through simple USSD phones and local trust, villagers are learning to earn, spend, and save in sats using Machankura. Merchants display prices in sats. Women’s savings groups — brought by Women of Satoshi — form village banks that lend in sats. Bitcoin Boma brings education to schools and markets. And Azteco vouchers make sats as easy to buy as airtime.

The goal is simple:

A liquidity fund keeps sats flowing between villagers and merchants, while the Bitcoin Wathu Council ensures transparency and community ownership.

From one village to the next, the spark spreads — one sat at a time.

Bitcoin Wathu — Our Bitcoin, Our Freedom and Responsibility.
