What is a Bitcoin Circular Economy?
A Bitcoin Circular Economy is a system where people earn, spend, and save in Bitcoin, locally, without needing to convert it to fiat. Instead of Bitcoin being treated as a speculative asset, it becomes a medium of exchange and store of value within a community of real users. This creates economic loops where Bitcoin stays in use and empowers individuals directly, especially in communities underserved by the traditional financial system.
21 Reasons Why Bitcoin Nairobi Is Different
