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!

Sounds like an awesome project, will you be documenting your learnings on Twitter or SN? If you want to be a guest author on our site, documenting your journey, we'd be more than happy to have you on :) FYI I am from South Africa

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.
Keep posting here your journey. We will pour sats to you :)

Noted! I had to update my Twitter handle. It is @gvansat.
Bicycle would be better.
Keep fit, easy to fix, stay humble.
Its a big continent too... How long is your planned trip?
reply
Bicycle would be better.
Idk man, Africa is huge and additional train infrastructure often sparse.
reply
Only thing that would make a bicycle better is an engine ;)

Hello. What's the status of this project?
reply
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.
reply
Hey y'all. As planned, I will soon be departing on this adventure.
Will be making SN posts as well.

Anyone interested can follow me on Twitter - @gvansat! The journey is set to commence no sooner than early 2023. I'm amazed at the response here. Thanks for all the love!
