Introduction: Bitcoin, an idea that changed the world
In 2008, during the global financial crisis, a mysterious figure known as Satoshi Nakamoto released the Bitcoin White Paper.
The vision was revolutionary: to create a decentralized digital currency, independent of banks and governments, secured by cryptography, and accessible to everyone.
In January 2009, the first block of the blockchainâthe Genesis Blockâwas mined, marking the birth of Bitcoin (BTC). Since then, Bitcoin has experienced volatility but has proven one undeniable truth: financial trust no longer depends solely on traditional institutions.
Key milestones of Bitcoin and the crypto-economy
- 2010: First real transaction â 10,000 BTC exchanged for two pizzas.
- 2011-2013: Emergence of alternative cryptos like Litecoin and Ethereum.
- 2017: Bitcoin peaks near $20,000.
- 2020-2021: Institutional adoption by Tesla, MicroStrategy, and Square.
- Today: The rise of DeFi, NFTs, and central bank digital currencies (CBDCs).
Africa: fertile ground for crypto adoption
- 60% of the population is under 25.
- More than 65% of adults remain unbanked.
- Remittance fees to Africa are among the highest in the world.
đ Cryptocurrencies can provide:
- Lower transfer costs for diaspora remittances.
- Greater financial inclusion for the unbanked.
- Direct access to the global financial system.
Eyano Cryptocurrency (EYA): a bridge between diaspora and Africa
Eyano Cryptocurrency (EYA) is not a copy of Bitcoinâit is a strategic African response to local and diaspora needs.
- Inclusion: Accessible to non-banked populations.
- Diaspora â Continent: Seamless connection and remittances.
- Economic growth: Funding for structural projects in Africa.
- Core values: transparency, stability, prosperity.
EYA is more than a digital asset: it is a platform of trust and economic unity designed for Africaâs future.
The role of land and subsoil in DRCâs sovereignty
The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) holds unmatched potential:
- Subsoil: cobalt, coltan, copper, goldâstrategic minerals for the global green and digital economy.
- Soil: fertile agriculture and unique biodiversity.
đ Enter the Eyano Cassava Institute.
- Just as cobalt powers batteries and electric vehicles,
- Cassava strengthens food security and drives agro-industrial development.
Cobalt = the power of the subsoil.
Cassava = the wealth of the soil.
Together, they form the foundation of a sovereign, sustainable economy capable of supporting digital and financial growth.
The Digital Congolese Franc (FCN): a tool of sovereignty
Beyond Bitcoin (BTC) and Eyano (EYA), the DRC can take a historic leap forward by launching its own Digital Congolese Franc (FCN).
Advantages of the FCN:
- Monetary sovereignty: Reduce dependence on the U.S. dollar.
- Financial inclusion: Accessible via mobile phones, even without a bank account.
- Backed by national assets: Guaranteed by gold, cobalt, or cassava.
- Security and transparency: Every transaction recorded on the blockchain.
Legal framework: the Monetary Intangibility Law
To ensure credibility, the FCN should be protected by law, guaranteeing:
- No arbitrary devaluation or manipulation.
- Legal protection of its backing by national resources.
- Status as an intangible monetary instrument, just as constitutions protect state sovereignty.
Strategic convergence: BTC, EYA, and FCN
- Bitcoin (BTC): Proof that trust can exist without central banks.
- Eyano Cryptocurrency (EYA): An African and diaspora-driven solution.
- Digital Congolese Franc (FCN): The key to sovereignty and modernization.
đ The winning formula:
Subsoil (cobalt) + soil (cassava) + digital currency (FCN) = Congolese and African economic renaissance.
Conclusion: A historic opportunity for Africa
The world is at a turning point. The DRC can either remain a spectator or emerge as a pioneer of sovereign digital currencies in Africa.
By combining:
- The innovation of Bitcoin,
- The vision of Eyano Cryptocurrency (EYA),
- The power of cassava (Eyano Cassava Institute) and cobalt,
- And a Digital Congolese Franc (FCN) protected by law,
the DRC can become the monetary and agro-industrial powerhouse of 21st-century Africa.
