There’s something about Bitcoin that changes people.
Maybe it’s the humility of having your worldview flipped upside down. Maybe it’s the kind of person it attracts—truth seekers, curious minds, those willing to challenge the status quo.
Or maybe it’s something deeper.
What happens to people when they base their value on something that isn’t rooted in theft?
When money operates on fair rules, and value can’t be stolen through inflation, does the world become better? Absolutely.
But do people themselves become better? I’m starting to think yes.
Bitcoin forces you to think long-term. It makes you reevaluate what matters. It aligns incentives in a way that’s fair, honest, and transparent.
And when people live by those principles, it changes them—for the better.
Maybe Bitcoin affects those of us going deep down the rabbit hole the most right now. We’ve had to learn about it deeply, often on our own, as the only Bitcoiner in our circle. And that has changed us.
But what happens when 8 billion people live under a fair system?
When everyone interacts with Bitcoin, there’s a multiplying effect. A world where every individual operates under rules that are fair and honest.
It’s hard to imagine that not making the world, and the people in it, better. Bitcoin is already doing that—one person at a time.

Bitcoin Victoria Falls is a Bitcoin Circular Economy and Mi Primer Bitcoin (My First Bitcoin) Light Node in Livingstone, Zambia
I just bought water and lemonade with Bitcoin at Jollyboys Restaurant in Livingstone.
This is the future!


We recently painted a shop with Machankura (using bitcoin without internet) in Dambwa North Market as a way of helping with Bitcoin adoption and spreading awareness.
The owner of the shops now accepts payment in bitcoin. If you wish to show him some love, here is his lightning address:

We are expanding on the @BitcoinEkasi and @LuthandoSABTC🇿🇦 shop painting model in Dambwa North Market. David one of our first @My First Bitcoin graduates has done a great job talking to other shop owners in his market about Bitcoin. @Blink Wallet @strike @Machankura 📞⚡ 8333.mobi coming soon.

The signal is high in Zambia 🇿🇲


Hello #Nostr from Zambia 🇿🇲
We’re already preparing for our 2025 cohorts! We’re planning to have a total of six cohorts, which is a 100% increase from this year (2024), where we graduated 42 students. We’re committed to creating more Bitcoiners in this part of the world.
Special thanks to David (in the picture) , a graduate of “Mi Primer Bitcoin” and a community member, who prints all our class workbooks.


Bitcoin Victoria Falls will have its final meetup of the year on November 24th before we send @Humphrey off to the Africa Bitcoin Conference and Adopting Bitcoin Cape Town in December and January. We have 12 meetups planned for 2025. Any zaps on this post will be shared directly with our meetup attendees!
The urgency to teach Bitcoin is high. Once central banks and governments jump in, ordinary people will be severely disadvantaged.
Opening a global permissionless bank account on a smart phone within 5 minutes with zero paperwork is a miracle.
Thank God for #Bitcoin.


One our students that recently graduated is on Nostr 🥳
Go show him some love.

Congratulations to everyone 🎉
Special thanks to @My First Bitcoin


His name is “Succesy” @npub1zmgz...n6dc
A member of our community. He does art and accepts bitcoin for payment. Give him a follow.


Today we had the final class of “My First Bitcoin” diploma. The Orange light is slowly penetrating Zambia 🇿🇲


Content creators in Zambia can’t easily monetize their content on twitter, facebook or YouTube.
So, when we mention Nostr in our classes it piques the interest of many. Nostr might be the great equalizer the world needed.
Today, we dived into "How to Use Bitcoin" and the "Lightning Network." It's the fourth week of "My First Bitcoin" cohort #4.


Third week of “My first Bitcoin” course. Bitcoin is for everyone!


Really good explanation of Nostr.
