Title: Bitcoin in Africa – How Crypto Is Changing Life in Africa.
Format: Documentary
Genre: Current Affairs
Premiered: April 2025 on NZZ Format
Directed by: Jasmin Sarwoko
Cinematogaphy and drone shots: Vukosi Chuck Manganyi
Produced by: NZZ Format

Inflation, expensive bank fees, and high exchange rates make everyday life difficult for many people in Africa. The documentary "Bitcoin in Africa" shows how a surf school in South Africa introduced Bitcoin in a township where 20 businesses now accept the cryptocurrency.

Bitcoin is an inflation-resistant means of payment in Africa, says financial advisor Charlene Fadirepo at the Africa Bitcoin Conference in Nairobi. We also meet Kotani Pay, a startup focused on cross-border payments using cryptocurrencies.

In the most remote corner of Zambia, the film explores whether Bitcoin mining can promote the expansion of renewable energy. Kenyan tech entrepreneur Erik

Bitcoin In Afrika - Wie krypto das leben in Afrika verändert | Doku NZZ Format.

Inflation, teure Bankgebühren und hohe Wechselkurse erschweren den Alltag vieler Menschen in Afrika. Die Dokumentation «Bitcoin in Afrika» zeigt, wie eine Surfschule in Südafrika Bitcoin in einer Township bekannt gemacht hat, wo 20 Geschäfte die Kryptowährung akzeptieren.

Bitcoin ist in Afrika ein inflationsresistentes Zahlungsmittel, sagt Finanzberaterin Charlene Fadirepo auf der Africa Bitcoin Conference in Nairobi. Wir treffen auch Kotani Pay, ein Startup für Auslandszahlungen mit Kryptowährungen.

Im abgelegensten Zipfel von Sambia untersucht der Film, ob Bitcoin-Mining den Ausbau erneuerbarer Energien fördern kann. Der kenyanische Tech-Unternehmer Erik Hersman sieht darin eine Lösung für Energieknappheit.

Bitcoin is crashing..
But in Africa, it was never about the price.
It’s about freedom. Financial access. Sovereignty.

#JourneyOfMySoul
#TuNokweFilm

Why This Film Matters:
Dr. Tu Nokwe is more than a musician—she is a healer, mentor, and cultural warrior. Journey of My Soul is a visually poetic documentary that explores her remarkable life, blending powerful storytelling with rich South African music and heritage. This is more than a film—it is a tribute to art, spirituality, and transformation.

It’s crucial that you die a hundred times while still alive.

Constant growth.

Constant change.

Repeated metamorphosis.

If you’re the same person at 40 that you were at 20 then you’ve wasted 20 years.

It will be very painful and uncomfortable to constantly change, but not changing will be even more painful.

Easier said than done.

Spent my day at @npub1gsffv with Thulisa & her amazing team!

They are building a #Bitcoin circular economy in Khayelitsha Capetown.

I loved learning that all the volunteers that work on the gardening, logos painting & the project works are paid in #Bitcoin which they can spend at the different local shops i.e

✅Siki’s Cafe
✅Lalie’s Glam Studio
✅Kareem’s Grocery Shop
And others that I didn’t visit….

Thulisa drew inspiration from 2024’s Post @Adopting Bitcoin Cape Town trip to @BitcoinEkasi ,
She went on to go through the outstanding Bitcoin Dadaclass and is now changing her community in real time.

I ensured to spend some sats at all the places we visited, if you are around Capetown - visit and get wowed.

My Last Day in Bitcoin Country – El Salvador

As my time in El Zonte, El Salvador, comes to an end, I can’t help but reflect on the incredible experience of living in a place where Bitcoin is seamlessly integrated into daily life Throughout my stay.

I relied entirely on Bitcoin for all my expenses, never needing to use the local currency.

This experience has shown me the true potential of a world where Bitcoin is widely accepted.

Thank you to the @Bitcoinbeach team🧡⚡️

"Alone my dream is just a dream
Another false illusion, a shadow in the night
All I want is for our hearts to be beating just as one
To silence the confusion
Then the pain and the illusion will disappear again
And we will never run
'Cause in my African dream, there's a new tomorrow
My African dream is a dream that we can follow
And though it would seem my hope's an illusion
My African dream is an end to the confusion"

Guys...I had an idea recently that I've been simmering on, and I think I might be onto something big here.

The zapping ecosystem unlocks infinite possibilities for expertise-seekers and expertise-providers to meet for a win-win transaction. But I feel like we haven't even scratched the surface on this in terms of building out an ecosystem of P2P micro-economies through the use of the "#Ask_____" hashtag format.

Imagine... experts of all types, across all fields, aggregating around hashtags according to their skillset, so they can answer plebs' questions, who then zap them for their input.

Examples:

Doctors: #AskDocs
Lawyers: #AskALawyer
Web/App Development: #AskDevs
Need Help Writing: #AskAWriter
Need Relationship Advice: #DatingAdvice #AskAMarriageCounselor
Need General Life Advice: #AskALifeCoach

(Hashtag semantics could be tweaked of course, but you get the idea)

It could also be expanded

A Bitcoin Circular Economy is a geographically concentrated effort (an effort that is focused on a relatively small area/population) that promotes the use of bitcoin as an everyday form of money, without, as far as possible, converting to and/or touching the fiat system in any way, whatsoever.

This includes services where Bitcoin is used to make purchases, but where the merchant never sees any sats. These services are preferable to using fiat on both ends, but they're not ideal. Ideally we want both the customer and merchant interacting directly with one another, and directly with Bitcoin only. These services can however be (and very often are) an ideal stepping stone and should be treated as such.

A Bitcoin Circular Economy promotes using bitcoin to pay salaries, make grocery purchases and do everything with bitcoin that would otherwise normally be done with fiat, in a way that

Buddhism in South Africa - paths of transformation is a documentary that explores the influence of Tibetan Buddhism on individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds. Through the personal stories of Nyameka, Hans, and Bhekinkosi, the film reveals how encounters with Buddhism have shaped their lives in unique ways. Nyameka's journey highlights the fusion of Buddhism, Christianity, and African spirituality, showcasing the evolving nature of belief systems in a multicultural society. Hans finds solace and purpose in Tibetan Buddhism amid the complexities of his upbringing, while Bhekinkosi's encounter with the Dalai Lama leads to transformative opportunities, enabling him to pursue education and serve his community. Through these narratives, the documentary reflects on themes of resilience, compassion, and the search for meaning, illustrating the transformative potential of spiritual practice in contemporary South Africa.
