KYC is the illicit activity. The attackers knew the hardware wallet the man was using and the exact amount of his funds. Don't use centralized exchanges. Earn bitcoin or get it peer to peer. Never share your seed phrase with anyone. Always verify a caller by contacting the company directly before sending funds.

Yep! @Bitcoin Zambia are doing great work. I can attest as we have been working with them on the ground since 2022. View quoted note →

The best data policy is to collect no data at all. Personal information of Coinbase users was stolen in order to scam them. Use Bitcoin peer to peer or use non KYC exchanges like robosats, bisq and others.

I can’t trust software as important as that of Bitcoin that is only maintained by a single person. I want to express my gratitude to all people contributing to Bitcoin Core! It would be great to have more well maintained alternatives to Core, but it will take time for them to build trust. View quoted note →

I‘m usually early or on time. Today this paid off, because the system at the Harare checkin was down, which is very common. Behind us the queue was building while we are already at the gate. Leaving the African continent for Europe. I have been in Kenya, South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe. Will hopefully be back in a couple of months. Going is always a rollercoaster of emotions, sad to leave, happy to arrive.

Really sad to watch this. After the Europeans and Americans, the Chinese are the new conquerors of the African continent with support of local ruling parties. 10% of people are profiteering, while 90% of the population is suffering. "Complaints are mounting in Zimbabwe, where Chinese mining companies have a history of labor, environmental and human rights abuses. Same story across the continent, as China taps into vast reserves of cobalt, copper, gold, lithium and other minerals."

Farai Maguwu has collected stories and testimonies throughout Zimbabwe for years. Some are heartbreaking, some disturbing, and each is accompanied ...

In the coming months I will travel less, do less grassroots work and focus on writing again. I feel there are some powerful stories and topics to be shared.

That's me 8 years ago today. Waiting for a #Bitcoin talk that totally changed my life: from living from job to job to doing what matters. I dismissed Bitcoin after my first contact with it in 2011. Thought it's just another PayPal. Start learning now.

Centralized services have to play police otherwise their management faces legal consequences. Anyone can be banned as governments just need to invent a lie about you. Same goes for bank accounts. View quoted note →
