Accelerating the Adoption of Bitcoin

Vision:

A world where billions of people directly use Bitcoin for their daily transactions.

A world where millions of business hold at least 1 million satoshis in their reserves.

A world where individuals and companies fully own their data and make use of cryptography to secure it.

Mission:

Experiment with applications and businesses aimed at accelerating the adoption of Bitcoin across Africa.

Starting with industrial age concepts, putting the thesis that "Technology is deflationary" to the test.

Collaborate heavily with universities and developers across the African continent to research and build out freedom technology.

Values:

1. Collaborativework across fields
2. Decentralizedand trustless
3. Experimentalblunt the cutting edge
4. Industriallarge scale production
5. Innovative1st born of Necessity
6. OpenFOSS
7. Sovereignas a monarch
8. Sustainableeither profitable/valuable
9. Virallike a wildfire

Initiatives:

All initiatives that have reached a proof of concept phase are written as a domain, those that are work in progress are just hyperlinks.
