About Me

Brindon Mwiine

I'm a Ugandan Bitcoin educator, tourism entrepreneur, and community builder working at the intersection of money, travel, and youth empowerment in Africa.

As Founder of Bitcoin Kampala and Gorilla Sats, I design real-world experiences where Bitcoin isn't just theory, but a daily tool for feeding children, paying teachers, onboarding merchants, and exploring East Africa. My work spans from grassroots classrooms in rural Bugiri to safaris near Murchison Falls, from university communities in Kampala to global Bitcoin stages in Prague, Cape Town, and beyond.

My mission is to prove that Bitcoin and thoughtful design can unlock opportunity for ordinary people โ€” orphaned children, teachers, merchants, students, and travelers. I build systems that actually work on the ground, tell honest stories, and connect global allies to local proof-of-work.
