When we first started painting shacks, everything was built on trust and community spirit. ๐จโจ
But after a tough lesson around payments and cleanliness, we realized that for our project to grow stronger, we needed structure and accountability.
Now, every painted shack owner signs a simple contractual agreement:
โ
Keep their area clean
โ
Visit the Bitcoin Ekasi Center once a month
โ
Learn about Bitcoin and the purpose behind our movement ๐งก
Each owner earns 7,000 sats per week (up to 28,000 sats/month) based on completing their learning visit, and trash collection, because this project isnโt just about payments. Itโs about empowerment, education, and building a stronger community together.
All contracts were signed with the support of local ward councillor Mr. Buda and @LuthandoSABTC๐ฟ๐ฆ , our project community leader.
This is a big step toward transparency, growth, and shared progress!

Itโs Payday for The Surfer Kids! ๐ฅ
Every month, our Surfer Kids earn 5,000 sats for their participation in the program, if they maintain a minimum of 80% attendance.
They spend these sats at local spaza shops that accept Bitcoin as payment helping us build and strengthen our Bitcoin circular economy.
By keeping sats flowing within the community, weโre empowering the next generation while supporting local businesses. ๐ช๐งก

Road Trip | Adopting Bitcoin Cape Town 2026
Visit Circular Economies in South Africa

Good evening from Cape Town, South Africa.


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.


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.
Yo, @npub12vwn...th6g
We're getting closer every day!
Only a matter of time before we land the first air-reverse!
Thanks for offering to sponsor the first 21k sats!
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!


If you've ever wondered whether you should or shouldn't visit us, the answer is... you definitely should!!!
It's the only way to verify what's really happening on the ground here.
We welcome visitors, any time.
๐คฉ ๐ ๐ค ๐
And if you don't wanna visit alone, we do have a scheduled road-trip, following @Adopting Bitcoin Cape Town
