01. BitcoShift
“BitcoShift” is an educational website aimed at helping small and isolated communities imagine and adopt a local economy based on Bitcoin, moving away from dependence on local currencies or the US dollar.
The website provides tools and educational content that simplify the concepts of a Bitcoin-based economy and help individuals understand how to price everyday goods and services using satoshis (the smallest unit of Bitcoin). This opens the door to building an independent, inflation-resistant, and accessible economy for all

02. Our sections
03. Vision & Principle
…We imagine a world where the meaning of money is redefined
A world where ordinary people are no longer subject to the volatility of the dollar or the policies of central banks,
But instead are in control of their money, managing their income, and living in a transparent, open, and decentralized economy
—We don’t claim that Bitcoin is a magical solution for everything
.But we believe it’s a real opportunity to build a fairer, alternative economy
?Why an Economy Without the Dollar
The dollar-based economy (or any national currency pegged to it) faces major
:problems
.Inflation makes prices go up while wages don’t rise at the same pace
.Banking fees and taxes eat more into the money of the poor than the wealthy
Central control means someone, somewhere far away, decides the value of what’s
.in your pocket
?Who is this project for
Economically isolated or closed communities
Individuals seeking to understand Bitcoin as a practical economic tool
Local initiatives aiming to build inflation-resistant economies
NGOs operating in underbanked or unbanked regions
Governments and organizations in the event of a dollar collapse or failure of
traditional financial systems
Is it a perfect system? No
We don’t promote illusions
We recognize there are real challenges: price volatility, adoption difficulty, lack of awareness, legal uncertainties, But we believe change starts with a single step, Even a small-scale alternative economy can offer hope for many
05. Simulation
Simulating an Economy Without the Dollar
The dollar has collapsed, Prices are no longer calculated in dollars, No one accepts it as a mean of payment.
Everything is priced, sold, and bought in satoshis (sats) only.
.Pricing Unit:1 Bitcoin = 100,000,000 satoshis
(All prices shown here are in satoshis only)
Loaf of Bread
1Kg of Rice
1Liter of Fuel
Monthly Home Internet Subscription
Daily Transportation (Round Trip)
Monthly Rent for a Simple Suburban Apartment
Light Meal (Juice + Bread)
Basic Medical Check-up (Private Clinic, No Insurance)
Cup of Coffee
Monthly Subscription to Online Learning
Bag of Flour (500g)
Used Economy Sedan car in Good Condition
06. On What Basis Were Prices Simulated in the Bitcoin Economy
Reference Exchange Rate, USD 1 = 100 sats (used as a temporary initial reference point)
Supply & Demand
Essential or scarce goods are priced higher, while locally available items are often cheaper
Human Labor Value
Service prices reflect the time and effort required to provide them
Redefining Pricing in Satoshis
Prices weren’t just converted from USD—they were re-evaluated based on their purchasing power in the new system
Purpose of the Simulation
To offer a practical vision of life without the dollar—not to present exact or final pricing
07. Interactive Tools
In the Bitcoin economy, people think in terms of “How many sats do I need per month?” instead of “What’s my salary in dollars”,The market tends to be more stable than in the past, There are no central banks—only digital wallets and direct payment networks. Value depends on trust, scarcity, and local supply & demand
Enter your family size and lifestyle (Basic / Moderate / Comfortable) Get an estimated.monthly expense in sats
Enter your current sats balance, Get an estimate of how many weeks or months you can live on that balance
Shows how the purchasing power of sats increases over time (due to fixed supply), unlike the dollar which consistently loses value

08. Frequently Asked Questions
?Can you really live using only Bitcoin
