 Sew Creative Bags

A labor of love and creativity

"I love being around creative people and beautiful handmade things. In a world where too much of what we have is mass manufactured, I love to support people who do things differently. There is a lot to be said for people who keep the traditions alive and remind us that we can do things  for ourselves. An enormous amount of talent is lost when people are not able to follow their passion and do what comes naturally to them. More of us should take that leap. The world is a better place for it." ~Me

 I came across your website, as I have been following the Bitcoin Botswana group and stories quite closely and saw the pictures of the Bitcoin Botswana meetup.

I thought I would share my story with you too!

I also stumbled across bitcoin last year in October, when my husband started going to the Bitcoin Meetups in Cape Town. He came back from the first meeting and told me there were only three of them at the meetup! Today there are over 100 registered on the Bitcoin Cape Town group. I then started researching bitcoin and realized I really liked the idea of crypto-currencies because of the low fees associated with the transactions and people in Third World countries such as South Africa, really needed something cheaper than Western Union transfers, PayPal (with its high cost when trying to get your money into a South African bank), and even credit cards fees. I started a new company in November 2013, called Bitcoin Payments, as a BitPay Affiliate in South Africa, assisting merchants to accept bitcoin on their website. We have had a very positive response from people and interest in bitcoin is rapidly growing as information becomes available on the positive aspects of using bitcoin. Our company also helps people to settle into local bank accounts into local currency at only 1% transaction fee. MUCH LOWER THAN ANY OTHER  PAYMENT METHOD.

We are hoping, that bitcoin becomes a regular payment method in the near future and that large retailers in South Africa start accepting bitcoin on their websites!
