Advancing Bitcoin circular economies around the world to increase opportunity for all and build healthy, inclusive communities.

Ring the bell โ€” we have another #Bitcoin circular economy project on #nostr. Please follow Mayan Bitcoin, based in Merida, Mexico. ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ฝ

Happy #BitcoinWhitePaperDay. Today, remember the title and original vision of #Bitcoin and #BTC : a peer-to-peer electronic cash system. Yes, Bitcoin has a store of value use, but it is money. Letโ€™s let the sats flow, and build local Bitcoin circular economies and a global BTC circular economy. Buy (ie, exchange fiat for BTC), spend (ie, spend your BTC), replace (ie, exchange more fiat for BTC to replace what you just spent).

It was amazing to have so many #Bitcoin Circular Economies together yesterday, October 29, for our first nostr:npub1l00kxrz9h56hss4krvs52z77z3rlj8prf0pdf0msxxpy5lj8rylq9xnypq General Assembly. So much passion, knowledge sharing, and growing momentum for this important and powerful global movement.

Our sincere thank you to all Bitcoin circular economies that shared updates regarding their local projects (see below ๐Ÿ‘‡) and to all of our partners, especially nostr:npub17cyatz6z2dzcw6xehtcm9z45m76lde5smxdmyasvs00r4pqv863qrs4ml3 which has set the standard for global community building among Bitcoin education and adoption projects.

We look forward to sharing ongoing updates and more information, including future FBCE General Assemblies, as our global federation grows.

If you want to learn more about Bitcoin circular economies or would like some support in initiating a local BTC circular economy project, visit fbce.io and contact us via Nostr, X, LinkedIn, Facebook or by email at admin@fbce.io

This is not charity, this is not business-as-usual non-profit work, this is not โ€œvirtue signal and things will changeโ€. No! This is true social and economic empowerment, made possible through that which #Bitcoin brings. Powerful grassroots #Bitcoin circular economy projects like nostr:npub1hkvzzah92u6j3vu3fv9jfmtjsndzh7ctqz03654duz3glze9nxns0a95ux in Kenya are building stronger families and communities one student, one new entrepreneur, one small business at a time. Congratulations, Gladys! ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿงก

Amazing progress is being made in Anambra State, #Nigeria thanks to the leadership of the team at Bitcoin Anambra which is building the #Bitcoin circular economy throughout the state. Weโ€™ll get them onto #Nostr soon (see our previous notes on Nostr).

They are focusing early energies on vendors and shoppers at Onitsha Market, which is one of the largest markets in all of west Africa (look it up)!

Today is a big day as the Bitcoin Anambra team is an active partner for #OnitshaFashionFest. They are supporting local merchants, supporting local fashion designers AND advancing Bitcoin adoption/use by providing a discount for all purchases made with #BTC. This is true community development and socio-economic empowerment, from the grassroots up!

Amazing work to build local Bitcoin circular economies throughout Nigeria. ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฌโœŠ๐Ÿฟ

Please help use raise awareness of and the visibility of Bitcoin circular economies around the world!

Based in Paramaribo, Suriname, Bitcoin Sranan is one of the recipients of our recent Bitcoin Beach Grants for Bitcoin Circular Economies. They are truly picking up the pace building the #Bitcoin circular economy in #Suriname alongside Nova Stars FC, a social impact project advancing education and financial inclusion via football and Bitcoin. Below are some of the many local merchants who are now accepting Bitcoin and participating in the growing circular economy! ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿงก

We will eventually reach a point where small, local #Bitcoin circular economies merge with each other and the #BTC circular economy will simply be the norm. The overall economy will simply be Bitcoin oriented, operating at scale as the only medium of exchange or alongside another fiat currency.

There is a very good chance that we will see this realized first in #ElSalvador. Not only are there already multiple local Bitcoin circular economies like Bitcoin Beach, nostr:npub17mx0ehx58tfjhq74cchjqzn8u9adlc3r27fr8akg0gavuwvjdtdq6u222d, and Bitcoin La Pirraya, but Bitcoin is also legal tender, it is being held and mined by the national government under leadership of nostr:npub1n6ycrxrap2872hxs9ffu4vfn42pfrccr7hevxat6gr39vdzn3nqq2ra474, the National Assembly, and the El Salvador Bitcoin Office, but Bitcoin education and financial literacy education are being integrated into the public education system, based on the nostr:npub17cyatz6z2dzcw6xehtcm9z45m76lde5smxdmyasvs00r4pqv863qrs4ml3 curriculum and model. This last point receives far too little attention. It assures the resilience of the population and the scale-up of normalized use of Bitcoin well into the future.

It is also very likely that the progress made in El Salvador over the coming years will cascade throughout Central America, with nodes of activity also being formulated by nostr:npub1tw4am7vzwl3akmyg4cwny27x8ltrwajrwrsate872gnpqnvzqd8s3f6nwr nostr:npub14f26g7dddy6dpltc70da3pg4e5w2p4apzzqjuugnsr2ema6e3y6s2xv7lu @AmityAge @bitcoinyucatan and others. A regional Bitcoin circular economy for Central America is just beyond the horizon, the reality of the next generation.

Onward!

The project Bitcoin Dominicana has been making major progress growing the #Bitcoin circular economy in the #DominicanRepublic. They are one of the recipients of our recent Bitcoin Beach Grants for Bitcoin Circular Economies, an initiative on which FBCE partnered with Bitcoin Beach (El Salvador) and nostr:npub1kmwdmhuxvafg05dyap3qmy42jpwztrv9p0uvey3a8803ahlwtmnsnhxqk9.

Bitcoin Dominicana's efforts have begun receiving a LOT of public and media attention, including the recent article below. While the article needs correction that we are talking about Bitcoin only and not "other crypto", and that businesses are only accepting Bitcoin as payment, it is good to see media tuning in.

Here is the English translation of the article.

----------

More and more businesses in the Dominican Republic are accepting bitcoin.

So far, 41 businesses accept bitcoin and cryptocurrencies as a means of payment on the island.

Key facts:

โœ… Bitcoin Dominicana affirms that the growth of businesses accepting BTC โ€œhas been constant.โ€

โœ… The Dominican Republic is the Caribbean island with the most locations within the Bitcoin ecosystem.

The adoption of bitcoin (BTC) and cryptocurrencies among businesses in the Dominican Republic is increasing. More than 40 locations already accept these digital assets as means of payment, according to nostr:npub1864jglrrhv6alguwql9pqtmd5296nww5dpcewapmmcazk8vq4mks0tt2tq data.

On its website, the monitoring platform indicates that 41 businesses on the island accept crypto assets for payments. Thus, the Dominican Republic is positioned as the second largest island in the Caribbean Sea with the most businesses adopting cryptocurrencies.

nostr:npub1864jglrrhv6alguwql9pqtmd5296nww5dpcewapmmcazk8vq4mks0tt2tq shows that the majority of Dominican merchants that accept BTC and cryptoassets as payment are located in the capital, Santo Domingo. There is also a presence of stores in Punta Cana, Samanรก, Santiago de los Caballeros, Puerto Plata and Cabarete.

According to whatnostr:npub1864jglrrhv6alguwql9pqtmd5296nww5dpcewapmmcazk8vq4mks0tt2tq shows, restaurants, supermarkets, wineries, recording studios, technology stores, skateparks, cafes and even textile factories in the Dominican Republic accept #BTC and cryptocurrencies as means of payment.

With its 41 businesses, the Dominican Republic surpasses Cuba (32), Puerto Rico (7) and San Martรญn (6) in the number of locations accepting Bitcoin. Although it is still behind Curacao, which is the Caribbean island with the highest number of businesses that adopted crypto assets (79).

Most businesses that now accept BTC and crypto assets as payment in the Dominican Republic have the support of the Bitcoin Dominicana organization, which is dedicated to promoting the BTC economy in that country.

Bitcoin Dominicana said that the growth of businesses that accept cryptoassets as payment โ€œhas been constant.โ€ This, highlighting that since last year the number of locations that adopted BTC and cryptocurrencies has increased.

This indicates a โ€œconsolidation of our Bitcoin circular economy into something special for participating business owners and our country,โ€ according to the organization.
