What is ₿itBiashara?

₿itBiashara is short for Bitcoin and Biashara. Biashara is a Swahili word for Business. We are all about showing Kenyan businesses and entrepreneurs that Bitcoin can indeed power all their business transactions.

We’ve studied Bitcoin, we still do, and we’ve concluded that Bitcoin is a tool powerful enough to empower entrepreneurs in Africa, saving them from the challenges of the current fiat system which is inflationary, highly bureaucratic, unfair to the masses and downright uninspiring.
