Plett: Building South Africa’s Leading Bitcoin Circular Economy
Plettenberg Bay is no longer just a holiday destination with world-class beaches and natural beauty—it’s fast becoming one of the most vibrant Bitcoin circular economies in South Africa. Every week, more locals, businesses, and visitors are choosing to trade in sats, proving that when a community stands together, real change is possible.
For too long, South Africans have had to watch their hard work, savings, and even their children’s inheritance be eroded by inflation and reckless money printing. The rand is steadily losing its value, while the cost of living rises. We’re expected to trust a system that benefits the few at the expense of the many.
Bitcoin changes that. It’s a form of money that cannot be printed into worthlessness, that resists inflation, and that empowers individuals to take control through self-custody. With Bitcoin, what you earn, save, and choose to pass on to your children remains yours—untouched and unmanipulated by government or banks.
Why Build a Circular Economy?
Owning Bitcoin is one thing. Using it is another. For Bitcoin to truly function as money, it needs to move—circulating through our local economy, supporting shops, services, and families right here in Plett.
That’s why the goal isn’t just to “stack sats,” but to spend them, replace them, and keep them flowing. When sats circulate, they strengthen local businesses, encourage self-reliance, and build resilience in our community.
Imagine a town where every cup of coffee, loaf of bread, tank of petrol, or doctor’s appointment could be paid for in Bitcoin. That’s not a dream—it’s already happening in Plett.
Living Off Bitcoin in Plett
Over the last six months, it has become clear: it’s possible to live entirely off Bitcoin in Plettenberg Bay. From groceries, cleaning supplies, and fuel to physiotherapy, clothing, dentists, and even doctors, locals are already doing it. The Bitcoin economy here is real, and it’s growing.
