🔄 Geyser is evolving: Circular Grants are now at the heart of what we do.
We’re now focused on empowering small businesses in Bitcoin circular economies.
We help them get access to funding from the Bitcoin community, funding that can then flow to more local entrepreneurs. ♻️
Our purpose is the same, our focus is sharper.
Here’s how it works. ↓
📚 Más conocimiento, más personas preparadas para usar Bitcoin.
Colombia P2P (@ColombiaP2P) busca acercar la educación sobre Bitcoin a nuevas audiencias a través de encuentros, charlas y espacios de aprendizaje.
Con el apoyo de LABIF, el objetivo es seguir creando oportunidades para aprender y conectar a la comunidad Bitcoin en Colombia. 🇨🇴🧡
Who can receive a Circular Grant?
A local business that's already running, still small, and debt-free. Pedro from @bitcoinamantiki explains why 🏪
Recoverable grants are still being refined.
Quarterly reports will share capital return patterns and what the pilot is learning, in public. 📄
Which matters more for Bitcoin's future?
A) More developers
B) More entrepreneurs
C) More storytellers
👇
Not a donation. Not a loan. A grant that circulates 🔄
Once one entrepreneur pays it back, the same capital funds the next one, no new campaign needed.

Crear tu proyecto en Geyser es gratis y postular a LABIF es solo un botón, así que ¿qué esperas? ⚡ @vincevanbtc se lo explica a @franklinroldan en @moneyonchaines.
The Afribit Kibera (@AfribitKibera) recoverable grants pilot, 2 cohorts, 15 people each, 6 projects.
Local trust, participant validation, and monthly tracking keep the capital accountable, without formal debt enforcement. 🔁

Te esperamos! 🧡⚡
Mañana se realizará LABITCONF Bitcoin College, una jornada intensiva que reunirá a estudiantes y docentes para profundizar en Bitcoin desde una mirada académica y práctica.
Una iniciativa impulsada junto a @escuelitabtc y la Universidad Champagnat.
From an application form to a Bitcoin wallet.
Pedro from @bitcoinamantiki walks through every step of a Circular Grant, from selection to the first sats received ⚡
Bitcoin no tiene edad: en El Salvador, muy cerca de @BitcoinBerlinSV y @Bitcoinbeach, Casa Bitcoin les enseña a los abuelos a usarlo 👵👴 @vincevanbtc se lo cuenta a @franklinroldan en @moneyonchaines.
🥖 Meet Fernanda & Sérgio, the entrepreneurs behind our newest Circular Grant. 🇧🇷
For over a year, Tem Pão Artesanais has been serving the community of Santo Antônio do Pinhal with naturally fermented breads, focaccias, brioches and other artisan baked goods made with healthier, local ingredients.
The demand is there. The challenge is visibility.
Right now, they mainly sell on Saturdays at the Espaço Sauá fair. This Circular Grant will help them purchase a quality display stand, allowing Tem Pão to sell on three additional days every week and significantly increase its sales potential.
With more selling days and stronger cash flow, Fernanda and Sérgio can reinvest in new products, equipment and the next stage of the bakery’s growth.
As the business grows, they plan to forward part of the additional profit back to the community over the next 8–12 months, helping support another local entrepreneur. ♻️⚡
Powered by our Field Partner @bitcoinamantiki.
A Field Partner is not a marketing channel.
It is a local leader who onboards a project, supports it through launch, and reports back on what actually happened. 🤝
What's the best measure of adoption?
A) Number of wallets
B) Number of transactions
C) Number of merchants

"If something unexpected happens and she can't pay it back, nobody will knock on her door."
That's the difference between a Circular Grant and a bank loan 🤝
