I donāt pay too much attention to the price of Bitcoin, but I have to say that what Iāve been seeing recently in the price action gives me a lot of hope in different ways. I spend a lot of my time teaching people about Bitcoin here in Africa. I organize meetups, educate people on what Bitcoin is, help merchants understand it, and support them in accepting Bitcoin payments. At the same time, Iām living in a society experiencing double-digit inflation and dealing daily with the realities and damage caused by fiat money. Because of that, more than ever, I want to see Bitcoin succeed, and itās something Iām actively working toward. I know Bitcoin will succeed eventually, but I want to see it succeed in my lifetime, and as soon as possible. That wonāt happen automatically; it requires people on the ground doing the work. If the goal is Bitcoin becoming money, then short-term price movements donāt really matter. At least, they donāt matter much to me as an educator because I understand Bitcoin deeply. But for the people I teach, price matters a lot. They see it go up and down, and that strongly shapes how they feel about it. One thing that has always concerned me is Bitcoinās past behavior: rapid rises followed by sharp drops, then long periods of sideways movement before the next increase. I understand that Bitcoin is finite and that its value trends upward over time, but I still get uneasy when the price rises too fast. Historically, fast moves upward often lead to equally fast declines. What feels different now is that, despite all the predictions and speculation, the price is not being pushed up aggressively. This suggests that many of the people stacking and holding Bitcoin are doing so with a long-term mindset rather than chasing quick gains. At the same time, Bitcoin is maturing quietly in the background. Across many places, people are teaching others about it, building tools, improving infrastructure, and strengthening understanding at the grassroots level. As Bitcoin matures as money, increased stability naturally follows, and that gives me a lot of hope. When you put everything together, gradual price growth makes far more sense. Very few people truly understand Bitcoin yet. If the price rises too quickly, it creates risk for the people who need it most: those living under authoritarian regimes, those relying on it to protect their savings, and those using it daily to support their livelihoods. Slow, steady growth is healthier. As more people learn, as infrastructure improves, and as real understanding spreads, each price level is more likely to hold. Itās supported by education, real usage, and systems being built step by step. So even if the price feels stagnant on the surface, I see this period as one of foundation-building: knowledge, infrastructure, and trust. When the price does move higher, it has a better chance of staying there because people actually understand what they are holding and why they are using it. Thatās what I wanted to share. Bitcoin represents real hope for many communities here in Africa, both as a way to preserve value and as a tool for everyday transactions and cross-border payments. Itās better money in every sense and a source of hope for the world.
