Are you selling cooked rice, or uncooked? People buy it to eat right then? What are your purchasers like? What made you choose rice, to sell?

Thanks for your questions! I sell uncooked rice — people buy it mostly to cook at home.

My purchasers are mostly local families and small shops in my village who rely on affordable staple foods.

I chose rice because it’s a staple food in Malawi, always in demand, and easy to store and sell in small quantities. Plus, it helps me support my studies while providing something my community needs every day.

If you want, I can share more about how I run the business or challenges I face!

Also, do some of your purchasers actually purchase, in sats? Impressive, if so. Which wallets do they use?

Thanks! Not yet — most of my customers still use cash because Bitcoin isn’t well known in my area, and internet access is limited.

But I’ve been introducing some of them to it slowly. A few friends are now experimenting with wallets like Phoenix and Bitnob, and I’m encouraging more people to try Moon or Wallet of Satoshi because they’re beginner-friendly.

My goal is to show people how Bitcoin can help with saving, not just spending. Step by step!
