113 Kids Accidentally Solved Voluntary Bitcoin Mass Adoption (In Its Purest Form) | Brindon Mwiine

Live from Bitcoin Beach in El Zonte, El Salvador, in this episode, we talk with Brindon Mwiine, the founder of Gorilla Sats and Bitcoin Kampala, about how he’s building a real Bitcoin circular economy in Uganda. What started as an effort to share Bitcoin education with university students has grown into a community-driven project that supports an orphanage, a school, and dozens of local vendors, all powered by Bitcoin and lightning payments.

Brindon shares how his first trip to BTC Prague opened the door to what’s now a grassroots movement for Bitcoin adoption in Africa. With rising inflation in Africa and limited access to traditional banking, Bitcoin is becoming a practical solution for savings, payments, and economic resilience.

Whether you’re curious about real-world use cases, or you’re working on your own local initiative, this conversation is packed with insight on how Bitcoin can become more than just an investment. It can become infrastructure.

Watch the full episode to see what Bitcoin adoption really looks like and what it could look like where you live.
