Just was in a Geyser Fund call where African community and education builders presented their projects to receive the grant. Fantastic to see so many new initiatives on the ground.

Working like a lunatic on my online learning program „Crack the Orange“ where I want to take pre-coiners and custody users to level 3.

Took me 3 months to record and edit 77 videos about Bitcoin. I had a professional editor, but sadly he did a bad job and I had to re-edit most of his videos. Still a few videos are missing and need to be recorded. Now I’m building an - as self-sovereign as possible - online course & membership platform where ppl can pay with fiat and BTC. It’ll host the course and live Q&As with me and guests. A big part of the program is dedicated to community builders and aspiring Bitcoin educators in the Global South. I want to share as much knowledge about self-custody and privacy as possible. With the goal to train the trainers I’m building a scholarship program for them. If you want to help please donate

Good morning Nostr! Instead of working on my new online learning program I’m waiting in hospital for my health check after traveling Southern Africa. Showing symptoms of Billharzia. Better check and be safe than sorry. I’ll be fine.

Oslo Freedom Forum ends today. compared to last year, there was more interest in the financial freedom track, which is great. I was able to connect with human rights activists to further drive Bitcoin education in African countries. Miles Suter talking with KG South African developer of Machankura8333 about Bitcoin without internet.

Decentralization only works if there is a decentralized market of apps and open operating systems. #Damus #Apple #ban

The best book to decide why and how you should enter the world of Bitcoin. You'll learn how to safely use, earn and store bitcoin.

Gm! Stay fit, stack bits.

F*ck! Lost my keys!

Can anyone enlighten me on how we’re going to identify and „block“ scammers and imposters here on Nostr? It’s hard enough on a centralized platform like Twitter, but how am I going to prove who I am here? Reputation system? #[0]​ #[1]​ #[2]​ #[3]

After 6 months in Zimbabwe it’s time to say goodbye and hello Zambia!

Nostr experience on Damus here in Zimbabwe is not very good. Can’t open threads, uploading pictures is difficult, can’t load follower list. Will be in Zambia soon, infrastructure should be better there.

Revisited Andreas M. Antonopoulos talk from 2017 today. Goosebumps then, goosebumps today. Money has not 3 main properties as economic textbooks teach, it has 4 - store of value - medium of exchange - medium of account …and yes, Bitcoin isn’t textbook money because I doesn’t serve the 4th property - a system of control Andreas‘ work has made me understand Bitcoin and inspired me to do the work I do. https://youtu.be/FyK4P7ZdOK

In regions where the internet is slow or unstable, using Bitcoin’s Lightning Network with self-custodial wallets can be a challenge. That's why I did a review of the best Bitcoin Lightning wallets in rural #Zimbabwe for @BitcoinMagazine I hear and read statements saying that newbies need convenient, easy-to-use tools, otherwise they would be overwhelmed and won’t use Bitcoin. I think this is wrong. People who are being onboarded onto custodial services are harder to convince to step up their game toward financial sovereignty and start using non-custodial tools. There is a big resistance to change habits. If a person starts using a custodial wallet, they very, very often believe that they are using Bitcoin already. They will tell you that they never faced any problems and that they, therefore, don’t see a need to change their setup. As a Bitcoin educator, it is my first duty to teach people about self custody, why it is important and to make them aware of the risks they are taking. They need to understand the difference between custodial and non-custodial services. Only then do I present different tools and make them familiar with the pros and cons of each one. Afterwards, they need to decide for themselves which route they want to take. That is the only way that people won’t consider me responsible for any losses they might incur and it’s the only way that they will understand that Bitcoin is all about ownership. I was unsure, though, if Phoenix or Breez would work in a setting with bad internet connectivity. That’s why I set out to do a test in the area of Great Zimbabwe, about 300 kilometers south of the Zimbabwean capital of Harare. In my review I included @Machankura8333 @MuunWallet @WalletofSatoshi @Breez_tech @ZeusLN @BlueWalletio @PhoenixWallet @ln_zap I tested @Breez_tech, @ZeusLN and @BlueWalletio on an iPhone and @PhoenixWallet and @ln_zap on an Android device.
