The people that wanna keep you dumb work 24/7. Therefore so should we. Bitcoiners dont' have office hours. Morning, evening, night & day, it's all about on-boarding shops, educating people and circulating sats.

Mbasa, Sammy & Inam. 22 years surfing experience with The Surfer Kids between the three of them.

You can't surf hungry, and if you surf, you'll know how hungry the ocean makes you. Feeding 14 kids and 6 adults, every day, 3 times a day, for 12 days straight is no joke. Food logistics is the heart and soul of every surf trip. So blessed to have had an epic time in Jeffreys Bay for the World Surf League Championship Tour, stop no. 10, the JBay Open.

Awesome week in JBay with The Surfer Kids watching the World Surf League JBay Open !!! Epic finals day with all-time conditions, a goofy foot final and a first-time Championship Tour winner in Connor O'Leary!!!

Good morning!

I feel like a proud dad, watching The Surfer Kids rip JBay during the World Surf League #JBayOpen off days!! Just getting waves among that crowd is no joke. And I've never seen them surf this good before. It only took 15 years to get to this point. But more importantly, it all really started coming together when we abolished fiat and adopted Bitcoin, in 2021. If we were a fiat charity, assuming our fundraising efforts were equal in fiat terms, there would have been little improvement between then and now, as was the case for many years. But instead, funds that were raised, a year ago, or two years ago, which weren't 100% depleted, and kept in BTC reserves, can now afford to cover so much more. The difference is night and day.

Boom! Another local business now accepts Bitcoin, thanks to @LuthandoSABTC🇿🇦 our Project Community Leader. Let’s keep spreading the sats and growing Bitcoin adoption, one shop at a time!✊

Good morning!

This dude hodled that JBayPro jacket since July 2008, just before Satoshi published the white paper, what a legend!

Good morning!

Our kids competed in the Steven Jeggels invitational, prior to the start of the JBay Open, and they ripped!!! We were treated to cooking waves, great vibes and pure stoke. So proud of our crew, they all absolutely smashed it. 🏄🏾‍♂️U14 Boys - 2nd, 3rd & 4th place 🏄🏾‍♂️U16 Boys - 3rd place SUPER STOKED!!!

In all of the 15 years we've operated The Surfer Kids NPO, this is definitely one of the coolest things we've been able to do! We're in JBay for 12 days, with 14 of our best up-and-coming surfers, to watch the JBay Open, stop no. 10 on the World Surf League Championship Tour! The kids are beyond stoked to see the best surfers in the world, live and in person! 🌊🏄🏾‍♂️ 🤩 Plus, as fate would have it, Jordy Smith, the only South African on the Tour is currently ranked no.1 !! The forecast looks epic!! Lots of swell and offshore wind for the next two weeks. The kids will also be competing in some side events, specifically for young grommets, prior to the start of the main event. Enabled by a Block,Inc. Discovery Grant!!

The thrift shop (now moved to a new improved location!) is still one of my favourite mechanisms for circular economy building! 1. Get old clothes donated. 2. Build a 'shop' where you 'sell' donated clothes for token amounts of sats. 100 sats for a pair of pants, 50 sats for a shirt, etc., etc. 3. Invite people to come and 'buy' some clothes, on the condition that they bring small change, in fiat, which must first be converted to sats before any purchase can be made. 4. They pay for clothes with their time and attention, because making a purchase involves learning how to use a basic Bitcoin wallet.

We paint shacks because it helps our circular economy project. It gives us a constructive channel through which to circulate sats into the local economy. Residents of painted shacks receive a stipend of 7,000 sats/week, which they only receive as long they: 1. Do not convert to fiat, whether they choose to save or spend, it must happen with sats. 2. Keep the area clean, and free from rubbish and pollution. No regular cleaning, no sats. It also brings some colour to a bleak environment. It adds some pride to otherwise unimpressive living conditions. It draws attention to our project, and makes for great photos and videos when people visit. We have many reasons for doing this. And. As a happy side effect, it also helps promote some really cool Bitcoin projects, like @SeedSigner !!

Stoked!! It’s amazing to have the @Tando.me logo displayed on one of the shacks! If you’re wondering what they do, it’s a Kenyan mobile app that allows you to spend Bitcoin through the Lightning Network, while merchants receive Kenyan Shillings directly into their M-Pesa (mobile money) wallets. You pay in BTC, they get KES instantly, with zero fees, no need for them to set up anything. And everyone accepts Mpesa. You can literally live almost entirely on Bitcoin in Kenya.

Carefull. Bitcoin is dangerous.

Good morning!

The kids were ripping this weekend!

In case you're wondering what's the definition of 'hubris'..

Good morning.
