Once upon a time I had no farm in Africa…but supported a farmer in #Zimbabwe to receive some #Bitaxes and set them up. They are running on solar and he is accepting #bitcoin for his products like honey, saffron and fish. Thanks to plebsource.com for the donation!

Had a fantastic Bitcoin meetup with 30 participants in Bulawayo today. First the locals Langa and Alexandria spoke about Bitcoin as an alternative to the inflationary national currencies and the historic role of money in the slave trades. After my Bitcoin 101 we installed Misty @Breez ⚡️ and practiced receiving and sending. Zimbabweans understand the value of Bitcoin immediately as they went several times through hyperinflation recently. The costs of the event were covered by @Bitcoin for Fairness - thanks to our donors!! Please zap zap zap towards our next event 🤗

Sitting on a bus between Harare and Bulawayo traveling 7 hours through the countryside of #Zimbabwe and sending instantly settled money from my somehow self-hosted Misty @Breez ⚡️ wallet to my self-hosted Lightning wallet @Phoenix Wallet and back. On mobile data. It still baffles me how it - compared to the traditional systems - is fast, cheap, secure and permissionless. I‘m living in the future. I hope to see it coming into general use. The bus driver just did a very risky maneuver.

Since many US financial regulations are being adopted globally I hope this too. #Privacy is a human right. View quoted note →

The currency board at Electrosales in Harare shows 1 USD = 32 ZIG today. #Zimbabwe Gold is the current legal tender called which loses value just as fast as all other currencies before. That’s why everyone wants to own USD instead. Almost no one uses ZIG. image

Bongani started as a surfer kid. Now he’s 17 and set up nodes for the @BitcoinEkasi center, where he lives. He teaches the other kids and wants to become a developer and go to university. Listen to him talk about Satoshi and the tech! Not sure if he’s on Nostr. Please send some sats this way: bongani@blink.sv View quoted note →

Working in Zambia, Zimbabwe and South Africa comes with challenges like daily load shedding. That means there is no electricity as there is not enough production to cover the demand. In South Africa there is an app that announces times without electricity, at least you can plan. Not in Zambia and Zimbabwe, here you never know when it comes or for how long. Even if you have solar since batteries are expensive many houses only have electricity for a couple of hours. If it’s a rainy day even less. So we turn off the fridge and use solar lamps. Whenever power comes we immediately start charging all devices. When electricity goes often the internet dies down too. And you never know when. Quite challenging. image

Working on removing myself from Google: Step 1: get a @GrapheneOS phone (a Pixel 🤦‍♂️) ✅ Step 2: start using @Proton mail ✅ Step 3: start using Proton Docs ✅ Still many steps ahead, but the direction is clear. View quoted note →
