How to keep traction in your community? —————————————————— @BrindonMwiine from @BitcoinKampala Ellie from @BitcoinWitsand Humphrey from @BitcoinVicFalls Ronnie from @AfribitKibera —————————————————— Allow merchants to convert (BTC/Fiat) or else they won’t get access. Service providers will trust you on a longer period of time. Circular economy tours to get students to spend a little at the vendor to use it in real life. You have to become innovative. Tournaments so people can earn sats. Mix of personality in the core group to draw strength from. Us vs Them in the community - reaching common ground, invite them to workshops and being friendly. You won’t get everything right but you must focus on a small core group of people. #bcesafrica @FBCEglobal

“Self sovereign energy consumption in Africa. At the end of the day, everything is dependent on energy so why is Africa energy rich and still poor? Why hashrate leads to more freedom? In a self sovereign way, Ethiopia for example could monetise their energy within their own borders. The money that they earn doesn’t come with strings attached (as opposed to development aid). However Ethiopia is now fucking it up.” Provocative words from Jesse of https://hashrateup.com/about/ #abc25
