The Cashwyre.com & BitcoinSafariTz Recap Session (31/01/2025) was an amazing and impactful event, bringing practical Bitcoin education to the Tanzanian community. The session was jointly hosted by Cashwyre.com and BitcoinSafariTz with the main goal of introducing Cashwyre.com, a Bitcoin remittance and off-ramp platform, to people in Tanzania. Participants learned in detail what Cashwyre.com is, its mission, and the services it offers, especially how it simplifies crypto-to-cash conversions. A key focus of the session was educating attendees on how Tanzanians can off-ramp their Bitcoin using both the Lightning Network and on-chain transactions, as well as converting USDT and USDC directly into local mobile money services such as TigoPesa and Airtel Money. This practical knowledge addressed a major real-world challenge for everyday Bitcoin and stablecoin users. One of the highlights of the session was a live off-ramp demonstration. We asked a question, selected a winner 🥇, and used the winner’s phone number to perform a real off-ramp test. A $5 transaction was successfully completed, allowing everyone to clearly see how fast, simple, and reliable the process works in real time. The session was highly interactive, engaging, and truly epic for everyone who attended. Special thanks to Cashwyre.com and BitcoinSafariTz for organizing and delivering such an educational, practical, and impactful session for the Tanzanian Bitcoin community.

Kwaheri Jerome Powell, karibu Kevin Warsh. Rais wa Marekani, Donald Trump, leo ametangaza rasmi uteuzi wa Kevin Warsh kuwa Mwenyekiti mpya wa Federal Reserve (FED), hatua inayozua mjadala mkubwa hasa katika masoko ya fedha na ulimwengu wa teknolojia ya kifedha. Katika hotuba na maelezo yake ya awali, Kevin Warsh ameonesha mtazamo wa kipekee kuhusu Bitcoin na teknolojia ya blockchain kwa ujumla. Warsh ameeleza kuwa anaiona Bitcoin kama rasilimali muhimu inayoweza kusaidia watunga sera kuelewa kama sera zao za kifedha zinafanya kazi ipasavyo au la. Kwa maneno yake, Bitcoin inaweza kuwa kama “polisi mzuri wa sera” kwa sababu huonesha wazi athari za maamuzi ya kifedha, hasa pale ambapo sera mbaya husababisha kuporomoka kwa imani ya fedha za kawaida. Zaidi ya hilo, Warsh amesisitiza kuwa Bitcoin siyo tu chombo cha kifedha, bali pia ni programu mpya na ya kisasa zaidi (the newest and coolest software) inayofungua milango ya mambo ambayo awali hayakuwezekana. Kwa mtazamo wake, teknolojia hii ina uwezo wa kubadilisha mifumo ya kifedha, kuongeza uwazi, na kutoa mbadala kwa mifumo ya jadi inayodhibitiwa sana na benki kuu. Kauli hizi zinaashiria mwelekeo mpya ndani ya FED, ambapo teknolojia za kidijitali kama Bitcoin zinaweza kuangaliwa sio kama tishio, bali kama kielelezo na chombo cha kujifunza kwa watunga sera za uchumi. Hii ni habari kubwa kwa jumuiya ya Bitcoin na crypto duniani. 🚀

Huko Afrika Kusini, leo kuna mkutano mkubwa sana unaoendelea uitwao Adopting Bitcoin Cape Town, ambao umeanza leo Day 01 na utaendelea kesho Day 02, ikiwa ni siku ya mwisho ya mkutano huo muhimu kwa mustakabali wa Bitcoin barani Afrika. Lengo kuu la mkutano huu ni kuwakutanisha watu kutoka mataifa mbalimbali ya Afrika, pamoja na miradi tofauti ya Bitcoin inayofanyika barani Afrika, ili kujadili kwa kina masuala yanayohusiana na teknolojia ya Bitcoin. Washiriki wanajadili namna bora ya kufikisha elimu sahihi ya Bitcoin kwa Waafrika, kuvunja dhana potofu, na kuhakikisha jamii inaelewa Bitcoin kama teknolojia ya kifedha huru, siyo skamu wala kamari. Mjadala mkubwa pia unaangazia jinsi ya kujenga Bitcoin circular economy barani Afrika, yaani mfumo ambapo watu wanapata kipato kwa Bitcoin, wanaitumia kulipia bidhaa na huduma, bila kulazimika kubadilisha mara kwa mara kwenda kwenye fedha za kawaida. Hili ni jambo muhimu sana kwa Afrika, hasa kwa nchi zinazoathiriwa na mfumuko wa bei, ukosefu wa ajira, na changamoto za mifumo ya kifedha ya jadi. Zaidi ya hayo, mkutano huu unatoa fursa mbalimbali katika industry ya Bitcoin, ikiwemo ajira, ujasiriamali, maendeleo ya teknolojia, elimu ya kifedha, pamoja na nafasi za kushiriki kwenye miradi ya kimataifa ya open-source. Watoa mada ni watu wenye uzoefu mkubwa, wanaotoa “madini” ya maarifa ambayo siyo poaah aiseee 🔥—ni elimu ya vitendo kabisa. Uzuri wa mkutano huu ni kwamba unafanyika pia kwa livestream kupitia YouTube, hivyo hata kama haupo Cape Town unaweza kujifunza moja kwa moja. Kesho ni Day 02 na siku ya mwisho, bado hujachelewa kama uko serious na unataka kuelewa Bitcoin kwa undani. 👉 YouTube channel ya Adopting Bitcoin Cape Town: https://www.youtube.com/live/SywqlHeAUDI?si=08xMGYNzZdYIFbAz Ni muhimu sisi kama Watanzania, hasa vijana, tuamke, tujifunze kutoka kwa wenzetu wa Afrika wanaofanya makubwa kwenye teknolojia hii. Bitcoin ni future, na elimu ndiyo ufunguo. 🚀

Between 2012 and 2013, godbless_lema advised the Government of Tanzania to invest just USD 2 million in Bitcoin. At an average price of about USD 15 per Bitcoin at the time, that amount would have enabled the purchase of approximately 133,000 BTC. Fast forward to October 2025, when Bitcoin reached an all-time high of USD 125,000 per single Bitcoin. At that valuation, the same holdings would have been worth roughly 41 trillion Tanzanian shillings, yet the original capital outlay was only about TZS 3 billion. This example powerfully demonstrates how transformative long-term vision, calculated risk-taking, and openness to emerging technologies can be for a nation’s economic future. It also highlights a critical lesson for policymakers: groundbreaking ideas are often dismissed in their early stages, especially when they originate outside traditional institutions. Yet history shows that some of the most impactful innovations are born in basements, small communities, and on the streets—long before they are accepted by the mainstream. What we truly need are economists and decision-makers with a hustler mentality: individuals who are humble enough to learn, bold enough to innovate, and creative enough to see opportunity where others see uncertainty. Such leaders understand that today’s unconventional ideas may well become tomorrow’s pillars of economic growth and national prosperity.

Kuanzia Jumatatu, El Salvador itaweka rasmi elimu ya Bitcoin kuwa ya lazima kwa watoto wote wa miaka 7 na 8 kote nchini. Hatua hii inaonyesha dira ya muda mrefu ya taifa hilo katika kukumbatia teknolojia ya kifedha na uchumi wa kidijitali. Kupitia elimu hii mapema, watoto watajifunza misingi ya pesa, teknolojia ya Bitcoin, na umuhimu wa uhuru wa kifedha. El Salvador inajenga kizazi kipya chenye uelewa wa fedha za kisasa, ubunifu, na uwezo wa kushindana kwenye uchumi wa dunia unaoelekea kidijitali. Mustakabali ni mwanga na wenye matumaini makubwa. 🔥
