Putting non‑custodial wallets, offline payment rails and orange‑pilled merchants on the map, village by village, market by market, kilometre by kilometre.
No conferences. No livestreams. We pull up at marketplaces, fishing ports and roadside stalls and sit down with the people who'd most benefit from a neutral, open monetary network.
Every wallet we install is non‑custodial. Every seed phrase is written by its owner. Sovereignty isn't a slide — it's a thing you do with your hands.
Spotty 2G, dead batteries, USSD phones, intermittent power. We test every flow against the worst conditions on the route — because that's where it has to work.
In every town we leave behind a local educator with the materials, wallet, and merchant network to keep onboarding long after the truck has driven on.
From Lagos to Dakar, tracing the West African coast with an inland leg through Ouagadougou. Nine languages, one rolling classroom.
Aïcha runs a roadside fabric stall in Cotonou. We set her up with a Lightning wallet on a five‑year‑old Android, paid for two metres of wax print in sats, and watched her show three of her neighbours how to do the same before we'd finished our coffee.
Forty‑three students. Two laptops. One projector strapped to the side of the truck. By sunset every student had a wallet, a backup, and their first 1,000 sats.
Burkina Faso's capital is young, dense and mobile‑first — exactly the conditions where a neutral, permissionless money network takes root fastest. This is where we've parked the truck for the West African inland leg.
Snapshots from the movement — the crew, the wrapped car, the merchants and the Bitcoin Afrique stage. Tap any photo to enlarge.
No single sponsor, no single chain‑of‑command. A web of local builders, grant programs and orange‑pilled humans keeping the wheels turning.
…and 240+ local merchants, mechanics, hostel owners and fellow travellers we've shared chai, fuel and a sats invoice with along the way.
Diesel, ferries, border papers, and a lot of wallet stickers. Every sat you send pays for the next merchant we orange‑pill.
