About this blog

Welcome!

Three obvious things about me are i love Pizza, a well woven brown wheat,  sprinkled green pepper and mushrooms complemented with white onion rings and a meaty cheese toppings. Makes the taste strike my hunger forces of destruction. 

Then comes the traditional white kilombero rice cooked on charcoal, combined with a local chicken, paired with some green fresh vegetables accompanied by a bowl of well fried tomato sauce, aha! Such is the taste for an African man who affectionately has feelings for Bitcoin. 

Speaking of Bitcoin, well here is how it all began. In 2015, on an obscure sunny morning, a friend who i highly regard born with a silver spoon in the mouth, a hands on politician, a father, investor, knowledge seeker and a lover of Mercedes Benz, Kumbukani Kachingwe asked me a random question out of the blue sky, " What do you know about invisible governments?" The conversation ended landing me a summary of "The History of the money changers" a book by Andrew Hitchcock 2006. 

My brain was literally shattered after i finished reading it. Luckily, he left me a broom to sweep and gather remaining pieces. It was exposure of this book that dropped reason in a poor of confusion and unveiled the smoke and mirrors of money, finance, economics and a distorted reality we live in. This book was my personal Da Vinci code, a mental sledgehammer.It transformed my thinking and understanding which immidiately altered my curosity and changed many perspectives which gave me a  lid to begin what i term, the greatest mental expeditions of unlearning and relearning. I felt my brain was defragmented then formatted for a new operating system to instal in.  

In 2016 for the first time, i heard and saw breaking news about Bitcoin on the British Broadcasting Cooperation. The headlines came in red and blue lights, firing directly on the screen. The reporter warned viewers, investors and anyone in the Bitcoin domain stating Bitcoin as a dot com bubble, a mere speculative token, too good to be true form of electronic cryto currency, it will pop soon remedy, its unregulated, used by money launderers and not controlled by government or any banks. What kicked the Bitcoin Can down the road was the unbelievable price per US dollar. Bitcoin was on its way to surpass the oldest asset mankind had ever possed for a short time its white paper was published in 2008.

More curious know what's beyond, the journey of a thousand miles took off from Lilongwe with a surf and click on my old HP laptop halting on a Youtube URL link  that directed me to a presentation done by Andreas Antonopoulos, who I personally inspire and regard as the face of Bitcoin. He explained in referrrence to the whitepaper what Bitcoin is, what it does and the future electronic cuurency, he not only managed to mop the floor clean but revealed a vivid blueprint of Bitcoin to myself and many others. 

Malawi Bitcoin Bench will not announce the price of Bitcoin in Joachim Thallas, but will reveal ultimate truths of why Malawi must consider the colour orange and utilize Bitcoin as its basic economic foundation than the International Monetary Fund and the collapsing US dollar. I'll be running a marathon of Bitcoin prescriptions, giving orange pills on an economic patient whose lost immunity resistance to inflation, deficit spending and debt. Find this blog as your orange pill physician, educating and using simplest layman terms of what Bitcoin is and it's progress in Malawi. 

Malawi Bitcoin Bench should be your favourite spot for Bitcoin education. In collaboration with Bitcoin Boma Malawi i will share news, summaries of seminars, and initiatives of different organizations that are championing Bitcoin education. Imagine Malawi Bitcoin Bench as a new blossoming beauty pageant model, miss Malawi of Bitcoin. 

It is my dream that an indigenous native Malawian can store, send, receive HODL value in Bitcon. This will be bad news for Banks, Airtel and TNM but who needs middlemen to dictate all rules and get a cut of every single transaction. 

Ill surf using my personal intuition, engaging humor and employing best possible analogies as for everyone to grasp slightest gist of Bitcoin knowledge. I always encourage everyone to develop and maintain an open mind to everything, our journey into this realm is to learn until we wear out. It's important to follow that  inner voice speaking, that sparking curiousity, asking unfiltered questions, devolving endless imaginations  and may be one day we can get to lands beyond the firmament. I know you would want to visit see beyond, aren't you? 

Lets move Mulanje mountain, pour Lake Malawi into a cup and bring back sound money, free people and make Africa boarder less. I'd like you my reader that after you read this blog, your teeth and skin turn orange, develop your own intuition and look outside again.  

Mwalandilidwa, khalani omasuka!
