Founders
The BitcoinZAR Advocacy Group was started in April 2026 by three passionate South African Bitcoiners who saw the need for a coordinated, professional community response to important Bitcoin-related regulations.
Our mission is simple: To protect and promote sensible, Bitcoin-friendly policies in South Africa by mobilising the local Bitcoin community to submit high-quality, constructive public comments on draft laws and regulations.
This platform provides easy tools, unified templates, and clear calls to action so every Bitcoiner can participate effectively.
