Summary
Bitcoin is important for Africans, especially Kenyans, as a hedge against inflation and currency depreciation. The Kenyan shilling has lost its purchasing power over the years, leading to financial instability and social unrest. Real estate prices in Nairobi have skyrocketed, making it unaffordable for the average person. Bitcoin offers an alternative store of value that is not tied to violence or land disputes. It has the potential to demonetize real estate and make housing more affordable. Education about Bitcoin is crucial to overcome misconceptions and hurdles. Austrian economics is popular among Bitcoiners and provides a framework for understanding the flaws of the current economic system. El Salvador's adoption of Bitcoin is seen as a positive step, but governments may still try to revert to a gold standard. Privacy and security are important for Bitcoiners, especially as fiat currencies collapse. Bitcoiners should also focus on onboarding their loved ones to Bitcoin. Education and accountability will be key in the future of governance and the adoption of Bitcoin.
