A bitcoin journey through Africa
4213 sats \ 40 comments \ @gpvansat 2 May 2022 bitcoin freebie
Hello fellow stackers. My name is Gerrit, and this is my first post on SN. I am planning a motorcycle journey through Africa to take a first-hand look at how Bitcoin is impacting the continent. My plan is to start in South Africa, and meander my way North. I hope to learn how adoption in Africa can be accelerated, and document my journey along the way. From what I've gathered thus far, Africans are primed to adopt Bitcoin, and stand to gain more than almost any other region in the world.
If you are interested in this project, then I'd love to see your sats so that I may gauge the community's general interest in this adventure. Cheers to you all!

You should get in contact with Anita Posch, she's been working in Africa for a long time and surely has some good insights for you. Safe journey.

Bicycle would be better.
Keep fit, easy to fix, stay humble.
Its a big continent too... How long is your planned trip?

Bicycle would be better.
Idk man, Africa is huge and additional train infrastructure often sparse.

Only thing that would make a bicycle better is an engine ;)

It has been a journey. Motorcycle is currently stored with a Bitcoin miner friend in Lusaka, Zambia and I'm taking a break with my new girlfriend in Namibia. My life has taken on a whole new dimension. I'm writing a post about it today.
