For some of these kids, it is their goal to succeed at the highest level. We're gonna help them get there. Train, surf, repeat.

Behold. The "free speech" platform. No, Lord Elon, it's not a suspicious login. I just don't use free airport wifi without a VPN. image

Proud moment for The Surfer Kids!! Best results ever at the South African Junior Surfing Championships!! Not a single one of our kids were eliminated in the first round of competition! Another small step toward our goal of training a national champion within the next 5 years.

Beyond grateful for the past 4 years! Bitcoin Ekasi is the third best thing I've ever done. (Number 1 and 2 were getting married and having kids.) Can't wait for the next 4 years, and the next 40 after that!

These guys are so ready!! 4 of our best surfers are leaving for Jeffreys Bay on Sunday, to compete in the South African Junior Surfing Championships! They're kitted with new boards and wetsuits (first time they've ever had that) thanks to a a Blocks Discovery Grant!! And everything you see in this photo was paid for entirely in Bitcoin, in a way that the merchant received sats! Both our surfboard shaper, and wetsuit importer are accepting, using and stacking sats!

It isn't breaking news. It's just another day in the Bitcoin Ekasi township. People are using sats as if there's nothing strange about it.

Imagine being so clueless that you confuse Bitcoin with beef, mutton, and apples... And then, mere months later, claiming that Bitcoin risks global financial stability. Wait, so Bitcoin = Apples = Beef = Global Financial Instability..? ๐Ÿซค๐Ÿซ  You best stop eating apples then. Now imagine such confused person being the governor of a central bank. His name is Lesetja Kganyago, and he's the governor of South Africa's Reserve Bank.

"It doesn't seem like a good system if one, you know, South African-born naturalized American is the only thing standing between us and tyranny." Yeah, Tucker. That's right. It's a really thin thread if you're relying on the goodwill of one person for free speech online... The solution is to not rely on just one person. You need Nostr, you just don't know it yet.

The Surfer Kids' skill levels are going through the roof, so let's have some fun with that!! Every surfer (from our program) that lands their first successful air-reverse (with video evidence) earns 21k sats for their effort. Offer stands for the first 21 surfers only. (We have over 40 kids active in the program, so this will ignite a healthy competitive drive...) We'll keep posting video updates every time a surfer sticks it for the first time! Feel free to reach out if you wanna sponsor 21k sats towards one (or more) successful air-reverse attempts. Below: Video evidence of the closest attempt thus far.
