Empowering the next generation with financial literacy!
Our Bitcoin Diploma students are taking their classroom lessons straight to the local tuck shops, learning how to earn, save, and spend sats in the real world. Empowering youth with real-world Bitcoin knowledge is building stronger circular economies from the ground up. ๐๐ง
A massive thank you to the Bitcoin MoonFund for sponsoring our Bitcoin Diploma students and making this educational journey possible! ๐โจ

This is about more than a salary. Itโs about planting a seed for the future.
Our The Surfer Kids assistant coaches and Bitcoin Ekasi teaching assistants are still in high school. They are not permanent employees they are young people getting an opportunity to work part-time, earn an income, and learn valuable life skills.
Their salaries are denominated in sats (satoshis). Instead of simply receiving a rand amount, their pay is calculated and paid in sats.
Why do we do this?
Because we want them to experience Bitcoin, not just learn about it.
We want them to understand what it means to earn, save, and think long-term.
If they choose to save some of the sats they earn today, what could those sats mean for them in 5 or 10 years?
We donโt know what the future price of Bitcoin will be.
But we can give young people the opportunity to start saving today and learn the value of thinking about tomorrow.
One sat at a time. One lesson at a time. One future at a time. ๐งก๐ฟ๐ฆ

Hard work pays off! โก๏ธ Cohort 6 has officially started, and our students just received their very first weekly attendance rewards for achieving a full 100% attendance rate in their class program this past week!
Seeing the big smiles as they spent their Bitcoin at Johnโs Shop through the Lightning Network is what this journey is all aboutโlearning, showing up, and experiencing real-world financial freedom firsthand. ๐๐ฌ

TSK Rewards: Earn, Save & Spend Bitcoin ๐งกโก๏ธ
At The Surfer Kids, children who achieve 70%+ monthly attendance earn Bitcoin rewards in sats.
They can then choose to save their sats or spend them at local Bitcoin-accepting merchants, including on everyday necessities like groceries.
This gives children practical experience with Bitcoin while rewarding attendance, responsibility and consistency.
Most importantly, the sats can circulate within the local township economy supporting local businesses while teaching children the value of earning, saving and spending Bitcoin.
This is Bitcoin circularity in action. ๐ โก๏ธ
Earn sats. Save sats. Spend sats. Build the circular economy.

The Surfer Kids were in action this past weekend at the Eden Junior Trials, at Vic-Bay and what a day it was! ๐๐โโ๏ธ
With fun waves on offer all day, our surfers gave it everything they had, putting the hard work from training into practice. We're incredibly proud of every surfer who paddled out, showed courage, supported one another, and represented The Surfer Kids with pride.
A huge thank you to Eden Surf Riders Association and organisers for the day.

Fun day in Victoria Bay watching The Surfer Kids compete at the local Junior Trials.
First of two events to select a district team, to compete at the South African Junior Champs in September.
The kids surfed well, we should get a decent number of kids in the team for Jeffreys Bay!
Boys are stoked to be taking part in the Eden Surf Riders Association Junior Trials. The waves are firing here at Vic-Bay. Best of luck to everyone.๐ฅ๐โโ๏ธ๐


Big day tomorrow! We've got 10 surfers heading to Vic Bay on Saturday, July 25th, 2026, for the Eden Juniors Trials, competing and representing TSK with everything they've got. So proud of these kids.๐๐ซถ
Let's go!๐โโ๏ธ๐ฅ
