Today we’re speaking about Bitcoin adoption in Ghana. We have Kumi from Bitcoin Cowries, and Mawufemor of Bitcoin Dua, who have been sharing non-stop progress from their community building efforts, including a mobile bitcoin street store, soccer games, education center and more. Their latest video featured a gentleman buying a live chicken with bitcoin, which is currently going viral across bitcoin twitter. 

In this episode, we chat with Rich and Vali from Motiv Peru who have been educating communities about health and life skills to create a foundation for Motiv to introduce programs that will support a Bitcoin self-sustaining circular economy.

This week we have a team of bitcoiners based in El Salvador who have recently launched a new circular economy project in the town of Berlin. The project has attracted expats from other countries and has been driving local adoption in recent months within the town – we are excited to hear how things are going and how they are doing it.

This week we have Bitcoiners from Argentina on the pod - Argentina has been wrestling with chronic inflation of their local currency the Argentinian Peso for decades and recently made headlines when a libertarian outsider called Javier Milei who is also said to be bitcoin-friendly won the Presidential primaries by surprise. Part of Milei’s platform was a very hostile stance against central banks and not surprisingly this has made Bitcoiners pay attention and get excited about this candidate. In this episode we learn from Argentinian Bitcoiners Ariel and Adam how much is true of these rumours - is maybe a second bitcoin president in the making? And what else is going on around Bitcoin in Argentina.
