I’m Thandi,a Bitcoin advocate,YakiHonne Ambassador and founder of Girl Think Initiative, a girl-centred design program supported by the Women of Satoshi Cooperative. I am a passionate advocate for sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), with a focus on empowering young girls in public primary schools and those who have dropped out of school in Malawi.
My work involves partnering with communities to promote education through Bitcoin Edcuation Initiatives, school feeding programs, SRHR sessions, and the provision of essential school materials. I am committed to advancing girls’ right to education, as well as their right to access accurate information, resources, and support related to SRHR.
I think Bitcoin, in other words, is a form of money inspired by Emmanuel Kant’s famous principle: treat others the way you would want them to treat you. In the African context, I would say Bitcoin carries that Ubuntu spirit , a sense of shared dignity, fairness, and humanity.
Just thinking out loud…
For years, opposition leaders in governments, journalists and activists have been killed, silenced, imprisoned, or publicly vindicated simply for voicing their ideas and standing for the truth. But now something has changed. Today, we have decentralized and censorship-resistant platforms—spaces where voices can’t be easily erased, where ideas can survive even when people are targeted.
This is more than technology; it’s a shift in power. A chance for ordinary people to speak without fear. A chance to preserve truth in a world that often punishes it.
Hello Bitcoin Community,
I am kindly reaching out for support to help two girls who previously dropped out of school return to their education. Schools reopened on Monday, yet they are still at home because they lack the basic school materials they need.
Any contribution no matter how small would make a meaningful difference. I truly believe in these girls, and I dream that one day they will grow, learn, and even become contributors to the Bitcoin ecosystem.
Your support today can change their future.
Thank you so much for your generosity.
Bitcoin is more than money; it is a whole change of mindset. It is the kind of money that gives real purpose, true freedom, and true dignity.
From my experience, if Bitcoin is going to be truly adopted especially here in developing countries,education has to start at the grassroots level. We need Bitcoin awareness and literacy introduced in lower classes, so that children grow up understanding and normalising what Bitcoin is and what it stands for.
I believe primary and secondary schools should have Bitcoin developer labs where young people can learn, experiment, and innovate. Circular Bitcoin economies should be encouraged and supported within communities. There is so much work that needs to be done, but the first step is education that is community led, inclusive, and built from the ground up.
To everyone on Yakihonne,if you enjoy my Bitcoin content, please follow my YouTube channel and subscribe. Let’s grow this educational journey together! 
If you look at the prehistory of Bitcoin,look at the ideas and social movements that existed before it,you will appreciate that Bitcoin Existence,it's inspiration was drawn from "protecting the oppressed". Bitcoin is not just money but it is a solution to the oppressed.
Bitcoin is the only form of money whose value is anchored in both technology and philosophy. Its philosophy challenges us to rethink the relationship between money, time, energy, and society. Money cannot simply be paper printed at will. Real money must be scarce, difficult to produce, and carry intrinsic value rooted in transparency, security, and fairness. Bitcoin embodies all of this , a monetary system built on proof of work, individual sovereignty, and decentralized trust.
Today I just want to give a big shout to BTrust for the amazing work they are doing in the Bitcoin ecosystem.
This is a true reflection of Bitcoin philosophy promoting privacy, freedom, and empowerment through supporting Bitcoin developers.
It’s inspiring to see how BTrust is creating opportunities for young people across Africa and beyond, helping them step into open-source development and other meaningful roles. For me, what stands out the most is their accountability and transparency, values that every Bitcoin initiative or entity should embody.
Bitcoin is about dignity, sovereignty, and empowering communities and BTrust is living that out.
Much respect.
In Malawi we are planning to open computer labs at public primary and secondary schools where students can get hands on especially on Bitcoin development. We want to build a society where students learn to become developers even at an early stage. These are some of our Bitcoin initiatives that we can't do on our own. Any amount of money contributed will make a very big difference in teaching these young boys and girls about decentralized money and also social media platforms where they get to realize the true freedom of speech,dignity and ofcourse being empowered financially.
If the cypherpunks,David Chum,Wei Dai questioned the role of privacy and freedom in the digital world,who are we not to question it now in 2026? We will not stop till masses understand the importance of decentralization starting with decentralized money to decentralized social media platforms.
We can't also talk about Bitcoin prehistory without mentioning David Chaum,who in the 1980s tried to introduce anonymous electronic money called DigiCash that unfortunately never boomed.
So in the 1980s and 1990s a group of people began to question the role of privacy and freedom in the digital world. They thought that cryptography was a tool to protecting individual rights from institutions or governments. This group of people among other series of social movements, is the most and important movement that led to the creation of what we are enjoying now called Bitcoin Technology.
I support several children both girls and boys here in Malawi. Tomorrow they are starting their second term of school. We are grateful that government schools, from primary to secondary, are free. However, we still face challenges in providing essential school materials such as notebooks, textbooks, shoes, and school bags.
Any contribution, no matter the amount, will make a meaningful difference in helping these children learn with dignity and confidence.
Thank you, and may God bless you as you consider supporting our initiative.
I have got two girls, Gladys and Manesi, who are going back to school at Kabudula Secondary School this coming January but cannot afford necessary items because they are from poor families. I need anyone willing to help me with school materials such as books, bags, shoes, and other necessities. Any support will be much appreciated. 
Freedom of speech is the right to express one’s opinions openly on free, non centralized platforms without fear of censorship, silencing, or control.
YakiHonne and other Nostr apps are the platforms young people need to freely speak about issues that truly matter to them.These are platforms that promote and protect human rights, making them ideal spaces for anyone who genuinely cares about people and their voices. They allow activists and advocates to express their opinions freely, without fear of accounts being hacked, silenced, or terminated.These are the true platforms that respect freedom of speech. We will continue to spread awareness until multitudes of people hear and experience the beauty of YakiHonne.
Bitcoin will avoid hyperinflation that has ever happened in History due to fiat currencies that are centralized and controlled with greedy. For example in Germany in the 1920s,and then in hungary around 1940s and again in zimbambwe which led to dissolving the zimbawean dollar and instead started using other currencies, causing people to lose savings,pensions in bank accounts.
