Discover the Bitcoin Economy

Bitcoin Aves is a grassroots initiative in Ghana dedicated to fostering a Bitcoin-only circular economy. We focus on onboarding merchants, equipping local businesses to accept Bitcoin for everyday transactions, and providing education to empower individuals to use Bitcoin confidently. Through meet-up sessions, community outreach, and practical adoption strategies, we aim to create a sustainable ecosystem where value flows freely, independent of centralized systems. Our vision is simple: a thriving community built on sound money, shared growth, and financial freedom.

The Bitcoin Aves was founded in 2021 by Kingsley Lavoe [Founder]; Emmanuel Gbodzi [Co-Founder] & Charles Kpornu [Co-Founder], inspired by Bitcoin Dua & Bitcoin Ekasi. It has 01~05 team members, an estimated 01~49 bitcoiners and 11~20 merchants accepting Bitcoin, making 01~49 daily transactions.

In late December 2024, in a small Farming community called Akatsi, located in the Volta Region of Ghana, a quiet revolution is underway. This revolution is not about politics or protests but about Bitcoin, which is giving everyday people a new sense of hope, ownership, transparency, and financial freedom.

It began with a few teachers, students and merchants asking a power questions: "What if we could teach our people how to save, earn, and spend sound money?"

From that spark in late March 2025, Akatsi's first Bitcoin project - "Bitcoin Aves" was born.

Bitcon-only Initiative: We are strictly rooted in Bitcoin; no altcoins, no distractions.

Bitcoin Education: We provide educational outreach to community youths through social and sports-related gatherings.

Merchant Onboarding: Educate merchants and business owners to understand, adopt, and accept Bitcoin (sats) in their merchandise, and guide them in configuring and setting up wallets.

Meetup Sessions & Consultation: We deliver insightful guidance and foster meaningful community connections by hosting engaging meetup sessions, empowering individuals through shared learning and collaboration.
