Sure, I’ll ELI5 it: In Malawi, we don’t really have stocks like most people do in the West. Instead of buying shares in companies, we ‘invest’ in things like livestock, bricks to build, or food to sell. But all of that loses value fast because our currency keeps crashing.

Bitcoin feels like the first ‘stock’ I can buy and actually own without needing a bank or a middleman. It holds value better than our money, and I don’t need permission from anyone to use it. For me, Bitcoin is like a savings account that fights back against inflation.
