Big news from Bitcoin Chama
We said we will only grow bigger. We meant it.
After carefully considering all the things on the table, we have decided to put a member of Bitcoin Chama forward to vie for the Member of County Assembly (MCA) seat, Kiamokama ward in Kisii county. An MCA will pass county laws (bills), approve budgets, and monitor the implementation of development projects carried out by the county government. Kiamokama ward MCA will be in charge of over 25000 families throughout the ward.
We are not doing it for power but for protection. For scale. For change. For Bitcoin.
We came to this decision for three main reasons
1. To build without looking over our shoulders - We want to continue building on Bitcoin and doing our projects comfortably without having to worry about local politicians again.
2. We want to replicate the Bitcoin Chama project to neighboring communities. Our mission is still empowering Communities through Bitcoin by creating a self reliant Bitcoin Circular Economy. Having our own person up there will make the project scale even bigger, to more people. We have a perfectly working community already.
3. We have a very high chance of winning. We have been approached by many people here at home asking us to vie for that seat. We did not seek the seat. The seat sought us. Our reputation has spread far, almost the whole county has heard of Bitcoin Chama and everyone who has heard of it wants to be a part of it because it adds value to their lives.
Bitcoin has been a game changer for Fossil Fuels for Africa and Bitcoin Chama. Together we have delivered so far in our community:
1• Connected 80+ families to the electric grid
2. Paid school fees for 50+ high school students
3. Supplied free cooking gas to 200+ families
4. Built a home for orphans
5. Built new houses for local families
6. Repaired roads by installing culvert. (we will be posting the proof of work the following coming days), and much much more.
And from the projects with over 60 active members, we have:
1. Taught 230+ people in our local community about the greatest Digital money, Bitcoin!
2. Constructed 25 beehives thanks to Bitcoin
3. A Bitcoin chicken coop project for youths,
4. A Bitcoin farm project. We have leased land for 25 women in our community for Planting vegetables (2 pieces of land)
5. An active Bitcoin goat project
6. A Bitcoin cultural band. Reviving our omogusii culture. This is not done anywhere in Kisii except our community
7. The project we have built has a team of 8 employed members earning salaries in Bitcoin
8. The 60+ Members in our project earning/benefitting directly from our projects.
All our products are sold in Bitcoin. All our savings are made in Bitcoin, as a Chama- family. As Clans. Together.
Securing the seat will help scale the project to over 25,000 families or 100 thousand people within the ward. Do you like the sound of that? Our target is Bitcoin Adoption, just like El Salvador- our own Nayib Bukele. A whole ward farming, earning, saving and spending in bitcoin.
The founding fathers to the next generation of sound money.
We work for Bitcoin and in Bitcoin.
Elections will be on the 10th of August 2027.
We will be back here on the 12th to celebrate with the whole Bitcoin community for the birth of something bigger - The second largest circular economy in the world! Mark your calendars and let's win this seat!
Of course, campaigns need funding. And ideas. Please join us to bring change to farmers in Kisii Kenya, through Bitcoin!

Good morning From Bitcoin Chama?
Last week, we held this year's first official Members meeting to discuss new goals and see the best ways to move forward with our projects to self sustainability, abundance and the best way to replicate our projects in the neighboring communities.
We have been getting a lot of requests from different people wanting to join Bitcoin Chama but we could not join them in the middle. Our best approach is replicating our projects across different communities.
Hyperbitconization is not a dream, it is slowly scorching in rural Kisii Kenya! 🔥
One of the reasons we held the meeting this late, We have been having problems with the local politicians for a while now.
We @Bitcoinchama, are doing more than what the elected leaders are supposed to do which made them a lot jelous. This is a compliment to us and the whole Bitcoin community!
We are not saying this to boast, We have truly outdone ourselves guys, We have out-delivered elected leaders who had 20+ years, budgets, and power! And this is only the beginning.
Big up all Bitcoiners who have been in with our community Throught this journey!
During our meeting, we discussed:
1. How many sats each project should aim for in one year.
2. How to allocate sats across scaling projects.
3. How to move toward communal abundance.
4. How to replicate our model into neighboring communities.
5. How to deal with the political situation going forward.
We didn't find easy answers. But we found a way forward.
Very exciting news is cooking. For our community. For the whole Bitcoin space.
Stay tuned🔥

Have you ever looked at a Bitcoin Circular Economy project posting about adoption on X, and wondered:
"Is this even real?"
Well, so have we.
Which is why, since early 2025, we've been working on something that helps to answer that question.
powbot.africa
Built by @BitcoinUbuntu, the @PoW_Checkbot is a Real-Time Automated Proof-of-Work Verification system for Bitcoin Circular Economy projects.
It's built to remove some trust, by giving projects the opportunity to verify that the adoption they claim, is in fact real.
Go check it out!

Last year in Mauritius, 14 projects across Africa that took the El Zonte Bitcoin Circular Economy model and made it their own met in one room for the very first time.
We were there with cameras rolling. Over the next few weeks we’re releasing clips from the minidoc we made:
their stories, their successes, their struggles, and how they’re picking up the pieces and building their own future, on their own terms. 🌍
This is what a circular economy looks like when it spreads.
The movement is coming home! The Global Bitcoin Circular Economies Summit returns to El Zonte, and this time it’s open to everyone.

Real community isn't built on a screen… It’s built on the ground.
Yesterday in Kimbo, our mothers, local merchants, and neighbors stood side-by-side facing down piles of community waste. Starting right outside GMAX Mini Mart, we rolled up our sleeves to clear the streets together.
Sound money builds sound communities. Real proof of work in action.
Bitcoin as everyday money. Earn save and spend.

The cabbages in my kitchen garden died from aphids. They can be very very harmful. My cabbages are not consumable actually. With agrochemicals, farming is profitable and food consumable. No consumer chose pest invested produce over clean ones.
Good morning From Bitcoin Chama?
This is the biggest drought we have ever experienced(about 6months)+
This is one of our farms. We planted and irrigated the first few days but this is the result.
A big setback but we continue building irregardless.
#Bitcoinkwawote
Two months without rain.
We watched the sky and kept working anyway.
We watered by hand. We lost some. We saved most.
Today, we harvested our first tomatoes. 🍅
And I want you to understand what that really means.
It means a mother in our community can now sell these tomatoes for sats. It means her children eat tonight. It means she saves a little in Bitcoin for a future that does not vanish with inflation.
From soil to sats. From toil to hope. Together.
This is what a self-reliant Bitcoin community looks like. Not a chart. A farm. A harvest. A family.
We are not asking for pity. We are asking for partners.
Help us scale. Help us plant more. Help us reach more families who just need a chance to earn in money that respects their work.
And if you ever want to see it for yourself come. Walk the farm with us. Harvest with us. Stay in our cabins. Spend your sats in our shops. Let the soil tell you the story better than I ever could.
Every sat grows something real.

Savings from our Merry-go-round just bought a second calf in our community 🧡
Building on Bitcoin
#Bitcoinkwawote
Meet the newest member of our community. 🐄
She didn't come from a bank. She didn't come from a loan. She came from sats, pooled by 35 neighbors who trust each other, work together, and save together.
This is the part that matters: this calf is not just an asset. She is income. She is milk. She is a child's school fees. She is proof that when a community owns its money, it owns its future.
Everything we have built, the farms, the beehives, the chickens, the merry-go-round is proof of a single, powerful idea:
Bitcoin works best when it is used, not just held.
While the world debates charts, we are busy turning sats into calves, honey, tomatoes, and hope.
We are not asking for attention. We are asking for partners who believe that Bitcoin can be more than an investment. It can be a lifeline for the people who need it most.
Help us scale. Help us plant more. Help us buy more calves. Help us build the most compacted Bitcoin circular economy on earth.
Every sat grows something real. And this little one? She is just the beginning. 🧡

Meet the cow that Bitcoin built🟠
Not a loan. Not a handout.
A community that meets every Sunday, contributes sats from what they earn, and buys one household item for one member, until everyone has something.
Round 1: 24 members. Chairs. Tables. A goat.
Round 2: 35 members. Iron sheets. Seats. Cushions. Utensils...
Member number 9 bought a hybrid calf.
This is not charity. This is economic dignity, built from the ground up.
We started with utensils, seats and beds.
Now we are buying livestock, and proving that Bitcoin is not just digital money, it is real life.
In rural Kenya, a cow changes a family. Bitcoin made it possible.
This is what hyperbitcoinization looks like. This is Bitcoin Chama, building a self-reliant Bitcoin circular community.
We work for Bitcoin. We are building our community on Bitcoin.
