Building a Bitcoin circular economy in a South African township | Partnering with The Surfer Kids | Inspired by Bitcoin Beach.
Pictured here is Akhona Mabuto (in the orange T-shirt), our dedicated Safety Officer, alongside some of our junior coaches and groms. We are incredibly fortunate to have this amazing crew as part of the TSK family. When the waves aren't ideal for the older and more experienced kids, they never hesitate to jump in and help the younger surfers. Whether it's pushing them onto waves, helping them get out to the backline, or simply encouraging them in the water, they do it all with enthusiasm and big smiles. Their willingness to support, mentor, and look after the next generation of surfers is something truly special. They embody the spirit of teamwork, kindness, and community that makes TSK such a great place to be. Today, we want to take a moment to say thank you to each and every one of you. We see your efforts, we appreciate your dedication, and we are incredibly proud of the positive example you set both in and out of the water. What an amazing group of young people we have at TSK. Keep being legends! ๐ŸŒŠ๐Ÿค™๐Ÿ’™ #TSK #SurfFamily #FutureChampions #BombSquad #Community image

With our local beach still closed after the damage caused by the recent storm, it's been tough for the kids not being able to surf. Diaz has always been the perfect spot for beginner surfers to learn and build confidence in the water. This past Saturday, we headed over to Santos Beach to get everyone active again and back in the ocean. We spent the day swimming, running, and the little ones even managed to catch a few waves. ๐ŸŒŠ๐Ÿ„โ€โ™‚๏ธโ˜€๏ธ Days like these remind us how much we appreciate our coastline and the incredible surf community around us. We can't wait for things to get back to normal so we can enjoy our local beach again. Until then, we'll keep making the most of every opportunity to get the kids in the water. ๐Ÿค™ #SurfLife #FamilyTime #SantosBeach #KidsWhoSurf #OceanDays BeachLife #WeekendVibes

#SPEDN nosihle@blink.sv btcmap.org/merchant/58 No Banks. Just Bitcoin. * Sound Money in Action. Money should be owned by the people, not the banks. โœŠโšก๏ธ Thatโ€™s why we use Bitcoin. It isn't just a tech trendโ€”it is real, unfreezable, global money in action Thank you Daniel de Necker for the visit. #Bitcoin #SoundMoney #FinancialFreedom #LightningNetwork #BitcoinEkasi

Today, Bitcoin Ekasi proudly celebrates the two pizzas that changed history forever. In 2010, Laszlo Hanyecz made the first real-world Bitcoin transaction by buying 2 full pizzas with 10,000 BTC. What looked like a simple meal became the beginning of a global financial revolution. Today, communities like Bitcoin Ekasi continue that story by showing how Bitcoin can support local businesses, feed families, and build stronger communities from the ground up. From 2 pizzas to a movement changing lives โ€” history continues to be written every day. Happy Bitcoin Pizza Day.

Last year we took a crew from our organisation to Jeffreys Bay to experience the magic of the J-Bay Open and surf some of the most beautiful point breaks in the world.๐Ÿ„โ€โ™‚๏ธ While there wonโ€™t be a J-Bay Open this year, weโ€™re beyond excited to be heading back this July for another unforgettable training camp with a few of our surfers. The kids are absolutely frothing, counting down the days, and ready to keep learning, growing, and chasing waves at one of the most iconic surf spots on the planet.๐ŸŒŠ Hereโ€™s a little throwback from last yearโ€™s trip ๐Ÿค™๐ŸŒŠ J-Bay, weโ€™ll see you soon.

#SPEDN zinyoka@blink.sv The government talks about banning self-custody of Bitcoin, while this is what we are doing at Bitcoin Ekasi ๐Ÿ‘‡ Kids in our community are learning how to save, spend, and use Bitcoin in the real world with their Bitcoin NFC Bolt Cards. This is more than technology itโ€™s financial education, freedom, and opportunity. We are building the future from the ground up in South Africa. Bitcoin gives power back to the people.

When a community builds together, they fight together. โœŠ๐Ÿงก ๐Ÿ‡ฟ๐Ÿ‡ฆ SA Residents: Don't let your financial freedom be restricted.

Hot porridge for breakfast before the groms hit the surf. ๐ŸŒŠ๐Ÿ„โ€โ™‚๏ธ Itโ€™s going to be a long day of surfing and skating for our kids today, and weโ€™re so grateful they can start it with a warm, nutritious meal. A huge thank you to @thelunchboxfund for their continued support in helping us ensure our kids stay well fed throughout the year. Your generosity makes a real difference in their lives. ๐Ÿ’™ #Surfing #Skating #Groms #CommunitySupport #TheLunchboxFund #YouthDevelopment #SurfLife #GivingBack

Before the recent storm hit our coastline, the banks were looking incredible and everything seemed very promising. Unfortunately, the storm has changed our beach dramatically. Large sections of the dunes have been damaged, and a significant amount of sand has been washed away. The spot now looks completely different from what it did just a short while ago. Weโ€™re hopeful that, with time, nature will restore the beach to its former condition, but for now the damage is extensive. As soon as itโ€™s safe to access the beach again, weโ€™ll post a follow-up video to show just how much the spot has changed and the impact the recent storm has had on our coastline.

Last Week Recap โ€“ Bitcoin Ekasi Center. Students completed Chapter 4 and began Chapter 5, learning about inflation, purchasing power, fiat systems, and how Bitcoin provides an alternative. Despite severe weather affecting Wednesdayโ€™s attendance, classes remained strong throughout the week. @My First Bitcoin Diploma students also received 1,500 sats each, with a total of 13,500 sats distributed. Mondays continue to focus on helping learners balance school homework and Bitcoin education. Thank you @npub1w5x2...fjqf for making this possible๐Ÿ™ image
