In countries like Zimbabwe, Sudan, and Ethiopia, hyperinflation and currency collapse are part of daily life. As local money loses value fast, people are turning to Bitcoin as a digital safe haven.

Unlike national currencies that can be printed at will, Bitcoin’s supply is fixed — making it attractive in economies where trust in government and banks is low. Even small amounts of BTC help protect savings and enable cross-border trade without relying on unstable fiat.

For many Africans, Bitcoin isn’t a luxury. It’s a financial survival tool.
