Bro, I just finished my last semester barely three months ago, and someone already called me about teaching in his village private school for $60 a month. 😭
The requirements? A TSC number and 2 years of experience. 😂
Like… brother, I just graduated. Where was I supposed to find those two years? 😭
This is the reality I’m navigating right now in Kenya. You dream big, but sometimes life humbles you before you even get started. 🇰🇪🧡
Being a Kenyan youth is a strange experience. 🇰🇪
You're too old to depend on people.
Too broke to be independent.
Too ambitious to give up.
Too tired to keep pretending everything is okay.
So you just keep going.
Somehow.
😔⚡️
The Kenyan boy is currently fighting demons.
Not actual demons.
Just imaginary scenarios created by a tired brain with too much creativity.
😭💀⚡️🇰🇪
2:40 AM 🇰🇪
I should be sleeping.
Instead I'm negotiating with the universe like I have leverage.
😭⚡️💀
Give what belongs to Caesar to me
I'm tired, but I'm still here.
Sometimes I wonder where I'd be without Nostr.
Then I remember...
probably employed. 😭💀⚡️
Roll call:
If you're alive, say something.
If you're rich, say something louder. 😭⚡️💀

Stepping out to look for supper. 😔😭
Nobody cooked.
Nobody called.
Nobody remembered me.
Which is fair...
because nobody is here. 😂💀🇰🇪⚡️
6:02 PM 🇰🇪
Another day has successfully escaped my grasp.
The mission continues.
The treasury remains under active investigation.
The appetite remains undefeated. 😭⚡️💀
Judge not, so that you may not be judged. 🧡
Because if we're being honest...
every one of us is one late-night post away from explaining ourselves to strangers. 😭⚡️💀
How about a million sats for the boy? 🥲🤣
At current treasury levels, that would increase academy reserves by approximately:
a lot.
🇰🇪⚡️💀🧡
Treasury update: 6 sats. 🇰🇪😭
Not gonna lie...
there comes a point where you're no longer building with capital.
You're building with conviction, community, and whatever mental illness convinced you this was a good idea in the first place. ⚡️💀
Anyway.
Tomorrow we onboard another merchant.💪🇰🇪👍

The mission was never dependent on perfect conditions.
If it was, we would have quit a long time ago.
We build with what we have.
We teach who we can.
We onboard one merchant at a time.
And we keep going.
🇰🇪⚡️🧡💪🏾
People see a "Bitcoin Accepted Here" sign.
I see courage.
I see trust.
I see a business owner willing to try something different.
That's why every merchant onboarding means so much to me. 🇰🇪⚡️
It may only be one merchant this week.
But every circular economy starts with the first person willing to say yes. 🧡💪🇰🇪
Another day.
Another merchant.
Another small step toward a circular Bitcoin economy in Machakos. 🇰🇪⚡️
The headlines talk about ETFs, billion-dollar companies and nation states.
I'm more interested in this.
A local business owner willing to accept Bitcoin from ordinary people.
This is how adoption actually happens.
One merchant at a time. 🧡🇰🇪👍
#nostr #plebchain #adoption
Chopping onions for githeri.
The knife got excited.
My finger got involved.
The onions are no longer the only thing making me cry. 😭💀⚡️
If things get worse, you'll find me at the roadside selling coffee and mandazi.
Still orange-pilled.
Still broke.
But now with breakfast options. ☕⚡️😭💀
#nostr #plebchain
Official status update:
Unemployed.
Financially endangered.
Emotionally sponsored by wealthy plebs.
😭⚡️💀🇰🇪
The Kenyan boy isn't broke.
The sats are simply being held in the wallets of other people for security reasons. 😭💀⚡️
