Hi Anita! I'm so glad you're doing an AMA.
One thing I am wondering about. I know you have been spreading the word and working hard in Africa for a few years now. Have many of the Africans you work with grown wealthy in local terms, considering the extraordinary rise in the fiat price of bitcoin along with the comparatively low cost of living on the continent?
If so, do you see them continuing to work for bitcoin adoption and even help you with your work?
Hi Siggy! :-)
People who really sticked to Bitcoin and put in the work to educate themselves and others too, definitely have made huge personal progress. Either just by having a goal, something to work towards into the future or because their savings have grown. You can really see it as some of the people have gone physically bigger ;-) from thin to big, which is a sign of wealth. We have been working with more and more groups https://bffbtc.org/mission/impact/ - not all of them are on this page... and it has been great to see the changes over the last 5 years. In 2020 when I first was in Zimbabwe, I knew of 1 initiative on the whole continent. And now they are too much to know them all. And we were fortunate to support many of them from the start. Now they are totally self-reliant. Have received their own grants for educational projects. that was always our goal, to support during the "startup" phase and then let go.
