Ecclesiastes 3: 1-8: There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens:
-a time to be born and a time to die,
-a time to plant and a time to uproot,
-a time to kill and a time to heal,
-a time to tear down and a time to build,
-a time to weep and a time to laugh,
-a time to mourn and a time to dance,
-a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
-a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
-a time to search and a time to give up,
-a time to keep and a time to throw away,
-a time to tear and a time to mend,
-a time to be silent and a time to speak,
-a time to love and a time to hate,
-a time for war and a time for peace.

Felt so seen😭😂


I was talking to a friend today. She’s doing really well for herself. Got a solid job an year ago, recently got promoted, moved to a nice apartment, even went on a vacation for her birthday this year. She’s doing everything right.
But she also mentioned how hard it’s been to actually save. Every month, after paying her bills and treating herself (which she deserves), the rest of her money ends up going back home. Family. Responsibilities. What we call “black tax.”
And the thing is, it’s not that she doesn’t want to help. We all want to take care of our parents. But it becomes this cycle: the more you grow, the more your family assumes you’re rich, and that help turns into an obligation.
What’s crazy is, most of our parents still work. They have jobs. They just can’t do much with what they earn anymore because the money itself has lost value. Inflation quietly steals from them every day, and we’re left picking up the pieces.
That’s what got me thinking.
Black tax wouldn’t exist on a #Bitcoin standard.
Because if money actually held its value, if people could save and build long-term, families wouldn’t be stuck starting over every generation.
This is why Bitcoin is important for young people, especially here in Africa/Kenya. One, to save in something that holds value. And to finally break the cycle.
I’ve been preaching Bitcoin to her for a while. I hope this experience finally nudges her to start saving in it/take it seriously.

Our Kenyan Bitcoin Anthem 🔥

Mentally exhausted
We’ve normalized idolizing “role models” to the point where we excuse their flaws, ignore their harm, and never hold them accountable no matter how badly they treat others. It’s time to normalize speaking up and holding them accountable.
Geographical priviledge is real🥲
Love is the answer
Love is the essence of life
Goddammit!
Love lives here🧡⚡️💚
Seamless East Africa filled my cup. Helping more Kenyans discover Bitcoin and freedom, there’s nothing more fulfilling✨


The whole point of building something new is doing it your way.
Whenever I hear people talk about Bitcoin as freedom money, I always come back to this question, are you spending it? Because to me, that’s what freedom really looks like. Being able to transact outside fiat systems, on your own terms.
If you’re still relying on broken fiat for your daily transactions, are you really free? Probably not. Fiat ties you to currency controls, inflation, and corrupt banking systems, all the things Bitcoin was designed to free us from. That’s why spending bitcoin matters because it’s about using a tool that gives you full control over your money. And with tools like nostr:nprofile1qqs97ekh6cxykm34l0m5ddrlymhj9rxrys3jemtf90psy3nysum0lkcpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzvuhsz9thwden5te0wfjkccte9ejxzmt4wvhxjme0aycgm0 there’s no excuse not to use bitcoin for everyday payments right here in #Kenya🇰🇪
When you actually spend bitcoin, you prove it works. You show that it’s not some unreachable, magic internet money. It’s functional. It moves. It serves real needs. That everyday usage is what transforms Bitcoin from just a foreign concept into something living and credible.
And when people see bitcoin being used, it clicks. The fear and confusion start to fade. It’s no longer abstract. They begin to understand it, not through theory, but through experience. That’s how trust grows. That’s how adoption spreads.
And as more people start spending bitcoin, something powerful happens, merchants begin to accept it. That’s the start of a real circular economy. One where you can earn in bitcoin, save in bitcoin, and spend in bitcoin, without ever needing to touch fiat.
But it doesn’t stop there. Real usage leads to more diverse users, more use cases, and more regions coming on board. That kind of growth doesn’t just spread bitcoin, it strengthens it. It decentralizes the network socially and economically, not just technically. And that matters, because a Bitcoin network that’s actively used by millions of people across cultures and borders becomes incredibly hard to stop. It becomes too useful to ignore. Too embedded in everyday life to shut down. Just like the internet.
So every time you spend bitcoin, you’re doing more than just making a payment. You’re helping bring it to life. You’re shifting it from being a quiet, passive asset to a living, breathing network of real value exchange. And that kind of activity is what drives growth. It drives security. It drives real freedom.
That’s what makes spending bitcoin so important and that’s what nostr:nprofile1qqs97ekh6cxykm34l0m5ddrlymhj9rxrys3jemtf90psy3nysum0lkcpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzvuhsz9thwden5te0wfjkccte9ejxzmt4wvhxjme0aycgm0 is here for. Because when you spend your bitcoin through Tando, you’re not just using an app, you’re participating in the future of money.
And if you’re not spending your bitcoin yet, I hope this gives you a little nudge in that direction.

The dera party yesterday unlocked a new obsession, I’m officially hooked on Bongo and Taarab music, this is all I’m listening to for the next week.
Swahili is such a beautiful language! Ughh! (Should have typed this in Swahili)
