Arriving home to this view, after a weekend away traveling... There are many things I could complain about. But really, I have nothing to complain about.

Spent the weekend at @npub1djkg...9fhz and @ Bitcoin Chama , in Kenya 🇰🇪 Both fantastic projects! This is an ongoing effort to better understand the emergence of Bitcoin Circular Economies in Africa. Cannot summarize it all in a single post, but if you're gonna be at either @Africa Bitcoin Conference or @Adopting Bitcoin Cape Town, we'll address this topic there! Thank you to @npub1nv4j...x0gr for helping make this trip happen! WARNING: This video contains an animal (chicken) slaughter. If that makes you queasy, don't watch it.

Good morning 🌄

Weekly Diploma Kids' Rewards! Weekly rewards continue to motivate @npub17cya...4ml3 Diplopma students to stay engaged in their bitcoin journey. Every Friday becomes a reminder that learning pays off—literally—and that bitcoin adoption is becoming a practical part of everyday life. We're proud to see these young learners taking steps toward a brighter financial future, one reward at a time.

For the past three months @jasonb and his family volunteered with us. They came all the way from Ohio, USA, to join our work in Mossel Bay, South Africa, and saw up close both the challenges and the progress happening in our community. They supported our youth programs on a daily basis, helping kids build real skills through Bitcoin-based financial education and related projects. They also spent time with local merchants and witnessed how circulating hard money is strengthening small businesses in the township. Their observations reinforced what we see every day: consistent, grassroots work creates meaningful change. We highly appreciate their time, effort, and the perspective they brought to our project. Thank you Jason and family!!! If you have any questions for Jason regarding this experience, please reach out to him: jasonbohio@gmail.com

What an epic day at Innerpool, Mossel Bay! 🌊🏄‍♂️ The Surfer Kids wrapped up their 4th and final contest of the year, and we were blessed with amazing waves. The groms and adults absolutely shredded — the level of surfing was out of this world! 🤩 🏆 Our winners took home some awesome prizes in sats, and the Surfer of the Contest scored a custom board from Sean Newton Designs, fully paid for in sats. 🤙🔥 Next year we’re coming back bigger and better — you don’t want to miss it!

Super stoked for @npub1y77f...dd2m the Orange Rocket! He finished an overall 39th (out of 193) in the men's 30-34 age division at today's IRONMAN 70.3 in Mossel Bay!!! Not the top 10 finish he was aiming for, but still a great result, despite some unfortunate bicycle issues that cost him valuable time. And a remarkable improvement from 2024, with an overall time difference of 59min faster in 2025 and 156th place overall, vs. 638th place in 2024. We're very fortunate to have him on our team as a senior coach and lifesaving instructor, he's inspiration to the kids! Excited to see where this journey takes him! No doubt he'll go much further! @Frank Corva @Joe Nakamoto @npub1nv4j...x0gr @Bitcoin Witsand 🧡🔥🚀🌍😎

You probably know that we run a surf program for kids. But did you know? 1. It's been running for 15 years. 2. It operates 5-6 days/week, 52 weeks/year. 3. Between 30 - 40 kids attend, every single day. 4. We pay 100% of all staff salaries in Bitcoin.

It warms my heart to receive reviews like this from total strangers. Maybe 15 years of sacrifice was worth it, after all...

When we first started painting shacks, everything was built on trust and community spirit. 🎨✨ 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: ✅ Keep their area clean ✅ Visit the Bitcoin Ekasi Center once a month ✅ Learn about Bitcoin and the purpose behind our movement 🧡 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 isn’t just about payments. It’s about empowerment, education, and building a stronger community together. All contracts were signed with the support of local ward councillor Mr. Buda and @LuthandoSABTC🇿🇦 , our project community leader. This is a big step toward transparency, growth, and shared progress!
