Watch Party Wednesday was a success!🚀 This week, we unpacked Davinci Jeremie's take on one of the biggest narratives in Bitcoin today: “Quantum computing will kill Bitcoin.” Reality check? — it won’t. 🔸We explored why: • Bitcoin’s security model is more resilient than most people think. • Unused Bitcoin addresses remain quantum-resistant. • The real risk is not Bitcoin, it’s altcoins with weaker cryptographic assumptions. 🔸The big takeaway? While others panic about the future, Bitcoin keeps proving why it’s built differently — engineered for adversarial environments, including what’s coming next. See you next Watch Party Wednesday!🧡 View quoted note →

Across the continent, Bitcoin circular economies are emerging where people earn, spend, and save in Bitcoin without touching fragile local currencies. Merchants accept Bitcoin, workers get paid in sats, and value stays within the community. This is survival, efficiency, and sovereignty in action. Circular economies reduce dependency on broken financial systems and prove that Bitcoin works at street level, not just online. These grassroots networks are quietly driving real adoption across Africa. Explore where this is happening and who’s building it 👉 Check out the African Bitcoin Directory at
