This week at Bitcoin Ekasi has been busy in a good way. We’ve continued working with local merchants, helping people understand Bitcoin better, and solving small day-to-day challenges that come with building a circular economy in the township.
For me, the most important part is seeing the community slowly gain confidence using sats in real life buying, selling, and learning together. The work is not always easy, but every week we see progress, and that keeps us motivated to continue building.

I work for #Bitcoin🧡⚡️
I’ve been living on Bitcoin, and I’ve seen the impact it has had on my life. I’ve been helping my people use a form of money that cannot be controlled by government.
And now they are planning to control it.
Why?
Why must Black people continue to suffer under corrupt government.


Now you can tip car guards at Langeberg Mall using @MoneyBadger + @Blink Wallet🙌
Just scan their Zapper QR codes no smartphone needed on their side.
I’ve been wanting to tip this guy for a while, and this finally made it possible.
Big thanks to @MoneyBadger and @Blink Wallet🤝
Just bought a Red Bull with my ₿itcoin Ring⚡️
This is why Bitcoin is cool.
Decentralized money. Sats on my finger.
My panel at Bitcoin Mena in Abu dhabi🇦🇪 was titled “Circular Economies as the Frontlines of Bitcoin Adoption."
Thank you Bitcoin Mena for the opportunity to share the story of @BitcoinEkasi


Bitcoin is changing the world, and nostr:nprofile1qqstfk89k9ef8rqcfzc7knrhczwtujkdvl9mw9l3gazskc9evxjlpkqpzemhxw309a6k6cnjv4kzumr0vdskcw358q6rsqguwaehxw309a3x7um5wghxy6t5vdhkjmn50phkkmewvdhk6eqe3xkis doing incredible work to drive that change forward.


Anytime you put money in a bank, the money is owned by the bank. You don't own your money anymore.
#Bitcoin is the way 🙌
I miss my little Bitcoiner 😄💛 Check out the T-shirt, it says it all! 🧡🫶🏾

Thank you, @Adopting Bitcoin, for the opportunity to share the @BitcoinEkasi story 🙏
It was an inspiring panel discussion, Bitcoin beach is paving the way for circular economies worldwide.


Excited to be speaking at Adopting Bitcoin! ⚡ #AdoptingBitcoin2025
We are building a Bitcoin circular economy in a South African township.
Since I get paid in Bitcoin, it only makes sense to extend that to my daily expenses, including paying my son's preschool teacher. What’s inspiring about her is that she’s eager to save in Bitcoin, with the goal of one day upgrading her preschool and taking it to the next level.
Let’s support her journey and welcome her into the Bitcoin world by sending her some satoshis.
Her Blink pay code is: Jo3y_sa@blink.sv

My Last Day in Bitcoin Country – El Salvador
As my time in El Zonte, El Salvador, comes to an end, I can’t help but reflect on the incredible experience of living in a place where Bitcoin is seamlessly integrated into daily life Throughout my stay.
I relied entirely on Bitcoin for all my expenses, never needing to use the local currency.
This experience has shown me the true potential of a world where Bitcoin is widely accepted.
Thank you to the @Bitcoinbeach team🧡⚡️

I am excited to announce that today, I successfully onboarded two businesses to Bitcoin payments, owned by Kenneth and Uba, both entrepreneurs from Nigeria🇳🇬

Today, I had the pleasure of meeting Marcelo from Mozambique 🇲🇿. Despite not having a bank account, he's found a way to innovate and empower his business. Marcelo now accepts Bitcoin payments at his barbershop.
Africa needs #Bitcoin, and #Bitcoin needs Africa
@BitcoinEkasi


Convincing the supplier of local Spaza Stores to accept #Bitcoin as payment.
Imagine you're a shop owner with Bitcoin in your wallet. A supplier comes to your shop to sell you products and says, 'You can pay me with #Bitcoin
#onboarding to the next level
