After fumbling with Apple Car Play (I had to activate Siri) I found out that the car has its own privacy settings! per default full data sharing was on! I thought - clever me- I turn it off. Now Car Play doesn’t work anymore! Now I’m really trying with Graphene. I just hope it works with restricted car settings too. What’s wrong with this world?? Let’s build stuff that gives us alternatives, please! image View quoted note →

"Copycats and Builders – Bitcoin Adoption in Africa And What Must Change" My new article drawing from my 5 years of education on the ground. There are great projects driving adoption through utility, but also some adoption theatre. @Bitcoin Magazine @Tando.me @BitcoinEkasi @npub1tuje...llxq @Bitcoin for Fairness @Bitcoin Zambia

„When authoritarian regimes and their proxies can manipulate American and European financial, travel, and communication systems to silence dissent, they're attacking the foundation of Westen values and democracy itself.“ They are being able to silent dissent outside their borders! So exiling doesn’t save you! Privacy is a human right! View quoted note →

MoneyBadger, the company of Carel van Wyk, which brought bitcoin payments to all PicknPay stores in South Africa announced a partnership with Ecentric, a payments provider managing transactions for two-thirds of South Africa’s listed retailers and successfully managed to finalize their pre-seed funding round. Bitcoin‘s use as money is increasing in South Africa. https://mybroadband.co.za/news/business/602588-south-african-bitcoin-and-crypto-payments-company-in-r7-2-million-funding-round.html

As @npub1j0hp...t0jt once said to me when we were discussing my work about self-custody, privacy etc. and seemingly low audience interest: „People want to know how to make money, but not how to safely use it or learn about it.“ I agree with @Gigi and I don’t believe in hyperbitcoinization (definitely not with self-custody). But as long as it is possible to own and spend bitcoin in a self-sovereign and private way, it has fulfilled its purpose and is a success. View quoted note →
