Hello “desperate” Bitcoiners,

This is Simona from BitcoinForKenya, and I’m here to tell you our Bitcoin story—so you can cheer up a bit.

While the Western narrative of “number go up” is wobbling, and the mood of speculators is somewhere between existential crisis and refreshing price charts every 10 seconds, we—the users, the builders, the people actually using Bitcoin—are bullish. Very bullish.

Not because of candles. Because of reality.

Across Africa, Latin America, and Asia, Bitcoin isn’t a chart. It’s infrastructure. It’s a tool. It’s being used daily to build local circular economies, connect people to global markets, and bypass systems that were never designed to serve them in the first place.

Why are we so bullish?

Because we see what Wall Street does not see.

They say Bitcoin is just a speculative asset. That it trades like tech stocks. That it has no practical use. And for people like Peter Schiff, it serves “no purpose whatsoever.”

Maybe it looks that way—from far away.

If you dig up a gold nugget and it’s covered in mud, it doesn’t shine. To the ignorant, it looks like a dirty rock. But to those who understand what it is, and clean it, suddenly its value becomes obvious.

Bitcoin is that nugget. And here, the mud is already coming off.

Mr. Schiff, I encourage you to come to Kenya and see it yourself.

Here, Bitcoin removes the friction of a financial system designed to extract from the poor rather than empower them. When humanitarian organizations send money through traditional fiat rails, it can take weeks. Every step involves fees, intermediaries, paperwork, permissions, delays, and more fees—because apparently moving numbers between databases is extremely exhausting work for the bankers.

Like parasites, the fiat system and the banking elites feed on the poor, the weakest.

Bitcoin bypasses all of this.

Transactions settle in seconds. They are final. They are peer-to-peer. They are global. And they cost almost nothing.

Yes, Mr. Schiff—this is the “ nothing with no purpose whatsoever.”

Thanks to local entrepreneur like #Tando, people here can receive Lightning payments instantly, convert sats into local currency, and access funds via SMS—even without smartphones or internet connections. Imagine that: a financial system that works for people who were never invited to the old one, the un-banked and un-bankable.

This isn’t theory. It’s real life in countries were a few dollars sent this way to someone can make the difference between putting food on the table for a week or starving.

You see, the real revolution isn’t happening in hedge funds. It’s happening in villages, markets, and communities. Bitcoin is empowering people from the bottom up—not through permission, but through voluntary participation.

One of the funniest things Mr Schiff said recently was praising Tether’s gold token as combining “the best of gold and Bitcoin.” This is particularly amusing, because it requires abandoning the very principle that made gold valuable in the first place: self-custody.

A digital IOU issued by Tether is not gold. It is a promise. And promises, as history shows, have a remarkable tendency to change when convenient.

Gold was demonetized not because it failed as money, but because it couldn’t move efficiently at the faster pace of commerce. Paper IOUs or digital IOUs are the same. The net result is always 100 to 1 paper claims, fractionalization and centralized custody. Bitcoin solved that problem without introducing custodians, gatekeepers, or permission. Without decentralization, proof-of-work, and censorship resistance, a blockchain is just a very expensive spreadsheet.

Bitcoin is different. No one controls it. No one can shut it down. No one can dilute it. The fact that it is purely a digitally native monetary asset and not a commodity with additional uses is not a bug, it is a feature.

This is why adoption is accelerating—not because of hype, but because of utility, as money.

So Bitcoiners, cheer up.

Adoption is growing. Use cases are expanding. The builders are building. The users are using.

When the knowledge gap about what bitcoin is will start to close, the price will follow the increased understanding. It always does.

And remember: the revolution doesn’t look like a green candle. It looks like people finally having a choice. And also in the West people will soon need to have a choice, an exit, when the fiat house of cards will collapse. And bitcoin in self-custody or a gold bar in your own vault are the only exits.

Until then, be patient. Keep stacking, follow us, repost and if you like us send some sats.
