💡 Bringing bitcoin ideas to life 🟠 Empowering bitcoin entrepreneurs 📍Cairo to Cape Town
🚨 30 Day Whiteboard Challenge 🚨 Day 5 (Dec 25): Xmas day! We stayed at home all day to enjoy the BBQ @manlikekweks organized. We focused on the chefs and I spoke with them while cooking. @MasterGuantai and @manlikekweks had a deep convo in Swahili to describe #Bitcoin https://nostrcheck.me/media/public/acb20a0a68495c2f96ee26030436b9d2bde42faa0692d409294f87966297ed11.webp#m=image%2Fwebp&dim=1280x960&blurhash=%236F%7E.z00y2tA1C.Tx%5BD%7E%3FJ%5EPXTIVSaxwR%24M%7CoOIn0%5ETK8%2BVd%3DjZNIWRQRP0a4VnjtAH%3F%24%2C%251RO-%3B%24mVzx-9ZgLJUs*%25gIU_A%24%2CIoxV%25zI.IWocD*Xy%3FGD%2B%25d%251aJo%23R7M%7C&x=0067c5295750a7871c8eee261a53fca61d1250a8d83c08dba530338f048ae9aa
🚨 30 Day Whiteboard Challenge 🚨 Day 4 (Dec 24): Arrived at 🇹🇿 early in the morning after a long day of driving from Uganda. -Sent #Bitcoin to a fellow traveller Doing so meant one #Bitcoin interaction in each country (UG,KE,TZ) within a 24 hour period! https://nostrcheck.me/media/public/bf0ab829b6c38cbf820e06c3892cfda7f08b02deef0d5af2d055a25ac549bcc1.webp#m=image%2Fwebp&dim=722x960&blurhash=_LIqu%3DIS%7Eqacxv%251bJ%25N-%3AogoJoft6jZ%3D%7BE2M%7BRkaeRjaxM%7BxuIoNbRjt7j%3F%25LxaWVs.t7NHf%2BxtWWxaxaaxNHf8%251t7WWofR*oLj%5DNGjZs.RjWBj%5BWBWCoLa%7CR*oeoJfP&x=729b6df495359dd42bf78808c25d19d5a271918ba0416efcf0eae4fd3dd38eb1

🚨 30 Day Whiteboard Challenge 🚨 30 days, 30 mins/day, one whiteboard Day 1 (Dec 21): 📍Makerere University (Uganda) A student stopped to ask 'What is #Bitcoin' We explained some basics and gave him 5000 UGX to get a cut at a barber who accepts #Bitcoin Having a local business that accepts #Bitcoin always helps the conversation especially for the question 'How can I spend this?' https://image.nostr.build/8cdfa365ab75920c4fd92c4ce6631dae866dfbe39f64843117daa20d55cda5d3.jpg#m=image%2Fjpeg&dim=1920x1446&blurhash=%23JE.hI%7EBVpkR%25fNboyr%3FVs9%5BW%3FWZRkIVjFRkNHt6EeR%25t9t9M%7BROjvozWo%24*xDjDSyo%7CSgjcsljENeM%7CM%7CjIxan%25jaWVWnX8f%24axxas%3An%25WVS2a%7BxHafR*X7S2t6ofjZni&x=4cc292883dd3f95d59d564c39f7a46bdcd2f12e7a620d70002fa7e530009b380
📍Calgary -> Kampala 8 months ago I spoke with @BrindonMwiine for the first time. He was inspired by my whiteboard to bring it to the streets of Kampala. Today we united our two whiteboards in front of Makerere University (Uganda's largest university) image
Onboarding and simplifying the message has been on my mind a lot lately. Came up with this flywheel to set people on the right path to Bitcoin. Calling it the 4 S's but open to suggestions on better names. Study, Save, Spend, Spread image
After a decade of the corporate world my wife and I have embarked on a #Bitcoin pilgrimage around the world. We hope to learn more about yourselves, about Bitcoin and how it can help society as a whole. There are plenty of communities we wish to visit and share their stories along the way! Starting off in Africa and will work our way east -> Asia -> South America. #bitcoincouple #bitcoinpilgrimage #grownostr
📍Jabal Umm ad Dami (Jordans highest peak) Someone in the tour group was a Bitcoiner so we hit it off. At the end of the hike his 6 year old daughter asks "why do you two only talk about Bitcoin!?" 😂 image
When I lost my job earlier this year, I knew it was a sign to get into Bitcoin full-time. Not knowing how to start I challenged myself to be the catalyst of 1 Bitcoin interaction a day for 100 days. I called this my '100 Day Bitcoin Challenge' Here is my Proof of Work....
You know shit is bad when your mum sends you a video about the downfall of Canada in your native language. Video discusses: -Healthcare waitimes -Reliance on USA -Barriers for businesses -Real estate fiasco -Inflation for basic needs... -Infrastructure does not match growing in population -Minimal investment in R&D to foster innovation in Canada
📍Lugano Many pointed, only one interacted and said "didn't Lugano adopt #Bitcoin payments?" He was jogging so we couldn't chat further. image
📍Geneva (held board for 15 minutes) Many silently nudged their friend towards my sign but no one said anything except for a group of guys who called it a scam. They were on bicycles so I couldn't retort. image
100 Day #Bitcoin Challenge (Day 96) +2 - sent a business owner (salon) their first sats and paid for my haircut with sats (convinced their senior barber to accept it). Go check out Goldwyn and Sons in Etobicoke and get a great cut with sats! Total #Bitcoin Interactions: 94 image
NOSTR on mobile/web has been weird since I got to Jordan. Haven't figured out the reason behind it yet. A lot to catch up on! The 100 Day Bitcoin Challenge is complete so will post the remaining update and share what's new :)
100 Day #Bitcoin Challenge (Day 95) +1 - Sent my mum some sats so she can buy a giftcard using @bitrefill. Trying to get her more self sufficient with #Bitcoin usage. Total #Bitcoin Interactions: 92
100 Day #Bitcoin Challenge (Day 94) +1 - Helped my dad buy #Bitcoin using an exchange and move it to self custody Total #Bitcoin Interactions: 91
100 Day #Bitcoin Challenge (Day 92) +2 - helped my brother buy non-KYC #Bitcoin through @BullBitcoin_ and self custody using @bluewalletio Total #Bitcoin Interactions: 90
100 Day #Bitcoin Challenge (Day 91) +4 - traditionally in my culture we gift gold when a baby is born into the family. I decided to give them #Bitcoin instead and instructed their parents to give it only when they turn 18! I hope the kids appreciate it. I used an Opendime and put it in a treasure box to make it look more exciting 🥳 Total #Bitcoin Interactions: 88 image
