If you're looking for how Bitcoin is being used to create impactful, real-world change, look no further than the story of @Afribit Kibera. I sat down with the project's co-founder, Ronnie Mdawida, to discuss how Bitcoin has become a tool of empowerment for the residents of Kibera, Africa's largest informal settlement. In the interview, Ronnie details Afribit's approach to education around Bitcoin and digital literacy, the importance of community support as people adopt Bitcoin, and why the story of Afribit is bigger than simply one of banking the unbanked with Bitcoin — it's a story of human triumph. Having seen the impact Ronnie and his team have had firsthand, it brings me great pleasure to share this episode with you all. 🧡

📢 NEW: Excited to announce the reboot of my show, @newrenaissancecapital, where I cover #Bitcoin adoption around the world⚡️🌎 For this first episode back, I'm joined by #Iranian digital activist and Bitcoin educator @Ziya, a former prisoner of the Iranian regime, to discuss the dire political and humanitarian situation in #Iran, what exactly Iranians are fighting against, and how everyday Iranians view and use Bitcoin and freedom tech. This was an extremely powerful conversation and a must listen for anyone looking to gain a better and more nuanced understanding of what's happening in Iran during this critical period of the country's history.

The good thing about “bear markets” is that we get back to talking about the basics of what Bitcoin is. This episode of @TFTC does a great job of this. Nice work, @MartyBent . Great listen for the newbies out there.
