Happy Independence, The Gambia! 🇬🇲 & why Bitcoin ? As we mark 61 years of independence, I'm forced to question how far we’ve come. In 1965, 1 pound was just 5 of our local currency now, it’s over 100 dalasis. If we use currency as a measure for progress, That’s more than 20 times backwards in 60 years. This Story is not unique to our country. This is happening everywhere Around the world, inflation eats away at our hard earned savings. That’s why I’m so grateful to Win Ko Ko Aung. After fleeing Myanmar’s military coup, he found hope in Bitcoin as a lifeline from oppression. Today, he serves as the head of Bitcoin education at Human Rights Foundation (HRF) and he’s giving us an hour of his time so we can understand Bitcoin, not as a scam, but as a tool for freedom. The Gambia is the smiling coast, full of beauty and resilience. This conversation is for anyone, anywhere, who wants to understand what Bitcoin can offer them true independence. please share this post and click the link to RSVP and join us next Saturday

This is no white paper but it’s beautiful how what satoshi wrote 17 years ago is the hope I aim to bring to bundung 6Junction the Gambia 🇬🇲

The next few years might be the most disruptive since the dawn of civilization I would ask you to buckle your seat belt but I dont know if that will hold once this space ship goes zoom. What we have seen so far with Ai is nothing more than the count down to zero. The shock is needed to reset and update the world as we know it. it's both exciting and scary at the same time. if I were you id take some time out to study how fiat works and how bitcoin solves that. I dont think I need to mention getting familiar with Ai tools if you have a creative mind and are able to think across domains I believe you will have a huge part to play in restoring some sense or order or harmony from the disruption we are about to witness

Praise Allah , Focus On Craft & Sit On Sats

I feel like a fool again I am remembering what the process felt like The first time I woke up to photography as a medium of expression I remember how hard it hit me Felt like I found the one I remember going out on photo walks Alone With my Samsung galaxy s6 And my only concern was the activity The input The effort The challenge I grew with each snap I was obsessed Hooked Like I was under a spell And it only got worse with time To a point where I was telling strangers about it I remember I was giving a ride in someones car in 2017 And I was sharing my passion with them And mind you this is someone I was meeting for the first time And that was their first impression of me Maybe even their last I still have a handful of people who got to know me in that particular phases and they still call me vivid That was the name under which I was sharing my art back then I was possessed I felt like I had something And I was willing to do anything I could to take it as far as it would let me And then further Phases where I had dark clouds following me around That was my umbrella I dropped out of school before there was a clearly laid out plan Or anything I just went I had alot of help along the way Alot of people stood by me And saw that as part of their journey And it grew into something bigger than I had anticipated I had no anticipation even All I had was a monomaniacal drive to excellence in that domain regardless of what was in my way But then The drive changed Or the destination rather I grew to realize that I did not want to go there I had another destination in mind And this destination was scarier To me that only means more adventure It demanded more dedication More growth More everything in me It demanded me to make more of myself So much more that I was not enough It demanded me to bring others in This new journey I cannot venture into alone Due to the very nature of it This new journey demanded me to move a market To open one To build networks And reinforce them To take charge And trust the process This destination was always been the destination They pervious journey was just the first stop But I am afraid I am more that I ever saw myself becoming I have been introduced to sides of me that I did not even know existed The pain moulded me into something more sharp And now its time to cut deep To be precise enough to kill To serve To sacrifice To be seen. As a fool I have been troubled my this idea for ages now This problem has not only been calling me to it But it has been signaling itself as the answer to most of my prayers I have been resisting this new phase failing to recognize its the same old journey I just decided to stop driving because the vehicle I am in is rusty But What happened to the version of me that would walk bare feet Where did he go I did crash out saying that I failed the country but In all honesty and in hindsight That only feels like my initiation into the cult of excellence Of Dying a failure over living mediocre I have tried to take the reasonable approach But Bro Reasonable to who You know what needs to be done You are just worried that they won’t understand They won’t do it because they dont understand it and that is why Its your job Its your job to do what needs to be done before its understood You dont explain the wheel to them You build it And let them try it for themselves Its your job to give them the option Not your job to force them to see it before you build it Just build Are you humble enough to be a fool Or would you rather be a shell of who you used to be
