African youth make up the largest demographic on the continent, yet they suffer the most due to under-representation in government. However, Bitcoin fixes this.
“The idea is time“Unleash the full potential of young Africans who are set to not only directly contribute to the currency surplus but more importantly make ends meet for their relatives while they thrive rather than survive.

Peer-to-peer Bitcoin trading is one avenue that has been embraced by African youth, thus creating a source of income. This is driven by the technology of increasing numbers and weak African currencies (compared to the United States dollar).
platforms like Paxfull Bear Make an extra effort to help people earn by qualifying their friends and acquaintances. Moreover, there are many resources to help everyone learn how to trade better.

The Swahili word for business is bias. Many companies in Africa have been set up by and for Africans to enable people on the continent to switch to Bitcoin from fiat currencies in the simplest possible way.
African translators who are Bitcoin fanatics like Sabini Worked on translating Bitcoin publications for Exonumia and BitcoinMtaani. Since most Africans are at least bilingual, this is a great opportunity for many to get jobs on multiple projects.
BitcoinMtaani is one platform that seeks to accelerate Bitcoin education in Africa through indigenous African languages such as Swahili, Yoruba, Izizulu and Lingala. I have first hand experience creating Bitcoin jobs as I am working full time on this platform thanks to investors, one of them GaloyMoney. Shepherds like Coinkite They are doing a great job helping me in my mission to teach Bitcoin to Africans in the languages they understand and communicate with on a daily basis.
Create content
There are a very large number of talented young Africans and young adults who have taken the time to learn about Bitcoin and thus started creating content to educate the continent. Most of them were either unemployed or exhausted from the pressures of their nine-to-five jobs and thus made a conscious decision to work full time to produce Bitcoin educational content. The best part is through multiple apps like fountain application They can earn SATs directly from their listeners and therefore do not rely on platforms like YouTube, which will likely remove them.
Artists
Traditionally, most African artists have been denied the right to vote due to their exclusion from the international art market. Bitcoin solves this because physical art can now simply be posted on social media by an African artist and a customer on the other side of the world can pay with bitcoin.
Non-fungible tokens – “NFTs” – although looked down upon by hardcore Bitcoin extremists, really do provide an avenue for African youth to sell art, thus amassing more sessions while catering to their needs.
Developers
One of the ways in which Bitcoin can directly solve the scourge of unemployment, particularly among the most affected young Africans, has been Africans who have taken a leadership role in development.
Castle It is the perfect example as it is a program specifically designed to train the next generation of African Bitcoin and Lightning developers.
Bitcoin Developer Academy is a great project by Foody Diop Which focuses on teaching Africans how to build Bitcoin applications using the Rust programming language.
charity
Global philanthropic initiatives via Bitcoin in Africa have directly enabled different communities to adopt the Bitcoin standard. Not only does this create jobs in rural communities, it also captures the minds of young children who will not be indoctrinated by the old stock-based financial system, but will instead grow up knowing that bitcoin is the only hard money in the world.
The Built With Bitcoin Foundation has built schools, water wells, and water distribution purification systems in several African countries including Kenya, Nigeria, Rwanda and South Africa. This directly led to the creation of job opportunities, the improvement of living conditions in rural communities, and the introduction of the Bitcoin standard to the communities.
I had the honor to welcome the co-founder and director of Built With Bitcoin during his visit to Kenya this year. I saw for myself the positive change of Ray Youssef (aka Youssef) Bringing the project to the local community in Makueni County, Kenya.
Agriculture for stacking seating
In a rural community in Voi, Taita Taveta County in Kenya mart viken Created a renewed fashion production. This project introduces the local community to sustainable cotton cultivation methods in dry conditions. The entire value chain up to the final production of cotton products will be on site and the entire community will be integrated according to the Bitcoin standard.
Economic empowerment of farmers who are taught how to make the best use of their land to build and directly operate a renewable fashion production facility provides a lot of job opportunities for the local community. This is a great example of a community Bitcoin project that has brought about positive social and economic change to a marginalized rural community in Kenya.
Personally, I am planning to take a week-long Bitcoin adoption tour in Voi Town with Veeken. Thanks to Bitcoiners like Glasses (Magdalena Gronowska) and Coinkite Team We will not only show people how to buy Bitcoin via Mpesa on Paxful But also how to safely store their bitcoins in a hardware wallet. This tour will see six unemployed young men from Nairobi County take a week-long job providing others with a bitcoin standard, and earn while doing what they love.
Conclusion
Bitcoin is Africa’s only solution to the many problems that have plagued it for decades even after the mirage of independence that our ancestors fought to their bitter death to achieve.
Unemployment is one such scourge that Bitcoin solves in real time.
The future of Africa is now bright thanks to this idea whose time has come. The young people who benefit most are highly motivated to bring their talents and competencies into this space, thus ensuring that Africa actively contributes to the excessive cryptocurrency trading.
