🧡 WHY WAS HOPE WITH BITCOIN CREATED?

Sometimes, a simple question can change everything.

Back in 2024, I kept asking myself one question: What can I do to help people who are struggling? This question stayed with me throughout the year. I wanted to do something meaningful for people in need, but I didn't yet know how to turn that desire into action.

Then, in early 2025, something caught my attention on Nostr. A woman had launched a 10,000 sats challenge to help a homeless person. She was taking action and sharing proof of her work. This gave me an idea: what if I could also build a movement around Bitcoin to help people in need?

I had the idea, but I didn't take action immediately.

What really pushed me to act was a day I went to the beach in Cotonou and saw children covering their bodies with makeup and posing like living statues to collect money from passersby. They were doing this to earn enough money to meet their basic needs, including food.

That moment really shook me. Children who should be at school or spending time with their families were already struggling at such a young age just to find something to eat.

I kept thinking about it. How can we talk about changing the world when some children are struggling just to get a meal?

I knew I couldn't solve every problem, but I also knew that doing nothing wasn't the answer.

That's what pushed me to finally take action.

On January 8, 2025, I officially launched Hope With ₿itcoin on Geyser. On that same day, a contributor named Bitcoin Sandy sent 10,000 sats. Those sats made it possible for us to carry out our very first humanitarian action: buying food for two children we had met at the beach.

It may have seemed like a small action, but for me, it was the beginning of something meaningful. An idea that had stayed in my mind for months had finally become a reality.

And the name

? It was chosen by the community. 🧡

Our vision is simple: use Bitcoin to bring smiles, love, and hope to people in need. Not just through words, but through real actions, one person at a time.

Today, our mission is built around three things:

🧡 Feeding. Supporting. Educating.

We want to provide food to those who need it, support vulnerable people and communities, and introduce people to Bitcoin and the opportunities it can offer.

We are still growing, learning, and finding ways to do more. Every action teaches us something, and every person we help reminds us why we started.

Hope With Bitcoin was born from a simple question, a desire to help, and the belief that even a small action can make a difference.

This is why Hope With Bitcoin exists. And this is only the beginning.

From World, with solidarity. 🧡
