Just to make one thing clear. We are working to create a #Bitcoin economy in a #township in #SouthAfrica using the #LightningNetwork . NOT a #crypto economy. We are not interested in alternative crypto currencies and consider these an unnecessary distraction.

It took a while, but once I grasped the significance of #Bitcoin and what it's trying to accomplish, other crypto projects quickly paled in comparison. Sure, a permissionless appstore sounds cool. But a borderless money that cannot be stopped or co-opted? That's a paradigm shift.

We're uninterested in anything that isn't #Bitcoin & the #LightningNetwork not because there aren't interesting things happening outside of it. Maybe there are. But because time is the scarcest of all resources and we'd much rather focus our attention than spread it out too thin.

Consider retweeting this if you think @ntosho_sandiso has a future in making #Bitcoin works of art.

After starting classes just over a month ago, yesterday we organized a community open day at the Bitcoin Ekasi Center. The center offers #Bitcoin education to anyone that's interested, starting with children already enrolled in @the_surfer_kids existing program.

Don't be fooled by people selling you #cRYptO . They're all pointing fingers at @SBF_FTX today, but tomorrow they'll sell you the next shitcoin that'll eventually crash and burn. There's no free lunch. There's no secret. Just work hard, stay away shitcoins and save in #Bitcoin

I've a feeling that #Bitcoin     and minibus-taxis in #SouthAfrica (yah, the ones who drive like psychopaths) are a good fit for one another. Not sure if they've been introduced, but Taxis are an integral part of the #township economy, so we're gonna see if they're interested.

Without a doubt @AdoptingBTC in #ElSalvador is one of my most memorable experiences. I wish I could stay but I'm not sad to leave. We have a window of opportunity to spread #Bitcoin adoption everywhere. And I'm leaving more driven than ever before to do exactly that.

I don't understand all the technical complexities of BIP300, but it seems to introduce complexity at the base layer. My use of #Bitcoin is relatively simple and the added complexity doesn't seem to improve that simplistic use case. I'm grateful that there's significant pushback…

It's super cool to see people traveling here from far to experience the building of a #Bitcoin     circular economy on the southern tip of #Africa . 🌍🤩⚡️ Last week, we welcomed @pahueg & @InsightDeFi 🙌🏽🔥🧡

My #Bitcoin journey started with @BitcoinMagazine (The Cyprus issue, top left, orange pilled me) 10 years later, I made a little pilgrimage to their HQ in Nashville. The art gallery is awesome! It feels more like a shrine.

#Bitcoin education isn't normal yet, but hopefully soon it will be. We're teaching children recruited into @the_surfer_kids daily after-school program about how a decentralized scarce money (and not endless debt and monetary expansion) will lead to a better life for everyone.

We launched a thrift shop in the township, at Ekasi Center, and all prices are denominated in sats only. No fiat prices. All the clothes we sell are donated to the organization and sold for a token amount to township residents. Obviously, it's not about generating an income.…

We're building a circular #Bitcoin     economy, and today feels significant. A small step that can make a big difference. 👉🏾 A virtual @Visa card bought with sats over the #LightningNetwork from @thebtcco and used to buy stock from the local Cash & Carry.

The point of all this is freedom. That's why we're all here. And #Bitcoin taught me that education is the bedrock for freedom. Because freedom implies choice. Voluntary choice. Grassroots adoption. Bottom up. But how can choice be voluntary unless it's also well informed?

In regular households pocket money isn't considered controversial. Giving our kids a weekly reward for committed attendance, in a structured program where they learn responsibility, shouldn't be controversial either. Plus, they're learning about #Bitcoin by using it.

I suspect a lot of technical people become impatient with #Bitcoin and move to crypto as a result, because they think about it from a technological perspective only. And off course it is a technology. But, more importantly, it's a social technology.

Yesterday one of our team members was robbed at knifepoint on the beach. It was broad daylight, late afternoon. The @the_surfer_kids and coaches were in the water. They were at the water's edge, taking photos when a person walked up with a large knife and stole the camera.…
