Stellenbosch, #SouthAfrica. Visit Luc‘s coffee, he‘s accepting bitcoin and the coffee is excellent.

On our last day in Kenya, we visited the @Bitcoin Babies 🍼 project in the outskirts of Nairobi. We were invited to having lunch with the participating mothers and their babies. They shared their stories of why and how they are using bitcoin now. Here you find short interviews with the founder Naomi and the local lead Veronicah. We also chatted with Noelyne from @Machankura @kgothatso@8333.mobi how sending bitcoin in WhatsApp works.

A short story: report, mute, f*ck off spammer.

Business as usual. Surveillance of the population in the name of „terrorism and child abuse“ to control any resistance against the ruling class. View quoted note →

Second #conference day in #Nairobi. Sessions started a bit late, so we briefly joined the fireside chat with Jack Dorsey before heading to ‘Unlocking Funding: Bitcoin Project Grants from HRF, Open Sats, and B-trust’. The panel where I represented the Crack the Orange scholarship program was packed, seems like funding for projects draws in a crowd! Next, we attended the Bitcoin Dada: Opportunities for Women in the Bitcoin Ecosystem panel with Renata, Mogashni, Ella, and me moderated by Marcel. See what else I was up to and how an embedded #Nostr post looks like on my website.

Memecoins are fraud by centralized actors (for instance presidents). RULERS WITHOUT RULES Bitcoin is true value found in an open market of money by non-hierarchical peers. RULES WITHOUT RULERS 15 min that explain the fundamentals of Bitcoin with its Cypherpunk roots and why self-custody and running nodes is necessary.

Can I use nsec.app to login on @YakiHonne ? Any documentation please? What do I need to do to get the „Login using an extension“ button to be activated? (On the login page). I would rather not use my nsec to login.

Is there a documentation for Npub.pro? How can I define the „featured articles“? I see a section to pin them in the admin settings, but how do I get them there? @brugeman

ETFs are shitcoins. If you don't self-custody, you're not holding bitcoin. You're only interested in price go up. Bitcoin will die if everyone does the convenient thing.

Why a lot of people I talk with wait for the government to make Bitcoin legal: View quoted note →

The day before the Africa Bitcoin conference in Nairobi I took the opportunity to address the women at the Satoshi Sisters Brunch organized by Charlene Fadirepo not to wait for their government to „legalize“ Bitcoin, as it’s not illegal, but to start now to use and save it. On my journeys in African countries I speak with many people and their first questions are: „is it not as scam? Is it legal?“

Bitcoin is money! Almost daily I am purchasing goods at any of over 2,000 PicknPay stores, coffee at First Light Coffee in Jeffreysbay and petrol at TotalEnergies with WiCode vouchers from @bitrefill in #SouthAfrica. Today I tested the new feature in @AQUA Wallet which allows you to directly pay the QR code from PicknPay. It worked! Thanks to the @Breez ⚡️ SDK that enables Lightning payments via swaps from @Liquid Network
