🌍✨ Bitcoin Sunset in Africa As the sun sets, a new dawn rises, powered by Bitcoin. From remittances to financial freedom, Africa is embracing decentralized money where banks have failed. 📲💸 image
Dismissing Bitcoin as useless and lacking intrinsic value overlooks the efforts of those running nodes to secure the network with energy through mining and disregards the millions of unbanked people in Africa and beyond who rely on it. 🟠🔥 Join Bitcoin education at TheCore @thecore21m image
Getting to Know the Future Guardians of Wildlife! 🐘🌍 We had the incredible opportunity to interview the students from the Bushbabies, diving deeper into their perspectives on life in communities next to wildlife. We listened to their thoughts on what matters most to them and how they view Environmental Education as part of their daily lives. Together with Lewyn from The BushBabies and the dedicated carers Herd Elephants , we make it possible for these students to experience a truly unforgettable moment—meeting an elephant for the first time! 🐘💚 Witnessing their excitement and connection with these gentle giants is a reminder of why conservation and education go hand in hand. Empowering the next generation starts with understanding their voices! 🌿✨ We could not have sponsored this without your support 🙏🏽♥️💪🏽 ⬇️ https://izindlovu.org/fundraisers/elephant-awareness-education/ #EnvironmentalEducation #WildlifeConservation #HerdElephants #FutureGuardians
“Bitcoin is hope” @LuthandoSABTC🇿🇦 It was a privilege working together with Luthando for onboarding shops in Maseke village near #hoedspruit South-African politician Helen Zille thanking Luthando for telling his story. Luthando had a clear message “I just want help my people, if we do not save ourselves, no one is going to save us”
🦛 World Hippo Day Did you know that hippos were once hunted for their ivory teeth, just like elephants? Let’s think about how Bitcoin can be part of the solution as Bitcoin has the potential to support wildlife conservation efforts. image
Oxpeckers on giraffes are like nodes on Bitcoin, mutually beneficial, keeping everything secure and in check 🙌🏽 #oxpecker #oxpeckerchallenge #nodes #bitcoin #giraffe #oxpeckerongiraffe
Awesome paper exploring the intersection of wildlife conservation by Stuart McKernan @wildvetstu , economic freedom, and Bitcoin adoption as a solution to the challenges faced by conservation efforts. The document argues that the biggest threat to conservation is not poaching or habitat loss, but economic instability. By introducing Bitcoin as "sound money", communities near conservation areas can achieve financial stability, lowering their dependence on environmental destruction and ensuring a sustainable future for both people and wildlife. This Sound Birding paper also honors Sparrow Wallet and it’s developer @craigraw

January 24th is the start of the Bitcoin Conference @Adopting Bitcoin Cape Town in SA 🎉 We were there last year & visited the @BitcoinEkasi Bitcoin Ekasi project together with Valeria, media manager at Trznsfrontier Africa & Tsakane, anti-poaching ranger. She is now part of the educational team! Thanks to our @Geyser fundraiser we were able to fund their trip to the conference: Since the NGO didn’t accept Bitcoin donations at the time, we sent the funds in fiat & held the BTC for them until they can receive it in their own wallet 🙌🏽 We are since then working hard behind the scenes on their bitcoin adoption journey and made some significant progress during our last visit. Slowly then suddenly 💪🏽
Heartbreaking news: Mpumalanga police are investigating five new rhino poaching cases in Kruger National Park, where 19 rhinos were killed in December during a festive season spike. 😢🦏🦏🦏🦏🦏🦏🦏🦏🦏🦏🦏🦏🦏🦏🦏🦏🦏🦏🦏🦏🦏🦏🦏🦏💔 Help us support #rhino conservation with #bitcoin through our Bitcoin for Wildlife Conservation Initiative @Izindlovu Fund ⚡️ donate@izindlovu.org
During our visit to Hoedspruit Endangered Species Centre (HESC) last month, the heat was intense, and the baby rhinos found comfort huddling close together in the shade. They spend their days in the reserve, being nurtured and cared for until they are ready to return to the wild. Among them was Angie, a little rhino receiving her feeding session. We’ll share more about her soon. This visit also brought back memories of Esmé, a rhino we first met five years ago when she was just a baby. At that time, HESC was thriving, supported by many visitors who helped sustain its vital work. However, as with many NGOs in South Africa, the outbreak of COVID-19 brought significant challenges, reducing support and making their mission even harder. Despite these difficulties, Esmé has flourished. Today, she plays a crucial role as an allomother, providing care and guidance to the orphaned baby rhinos that arrive at the center. Her nurturing presence is invaluable, and she remains at HESC to help the little ones thrive. Esmé’s story is a beautiful reminder of resilience, hope, and the impact of dedicated care. With Bitcoin for conservation under the umbrella of @Izindlovu Fund we help these little rhinos thrive again!
We wish all our followers happy holidays and a cosy Christmas Time 🎄♥️ This season, we extend a heartfelt “Bitcoin Thank You” from the students of @bushbabiesedu to everyone who contributed to our Bitcoin adoption fundraiser 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

By onboarding three shops to #Bitcoin in Maseke village, Phalaborwa, South-Africa, we’re paving the way to create a circular economy focused on educating children for a brighter future. Thank you @LuthandoSABTC🇿🇦 and @Ben for the hard work 💪🏽🙏🏽
Next Tuesday on Giving Tuesday our team will be going to Herd together with the students from The Bushbabies for an elephant educational moment! We are a small NGO with limited reserves, so every bitcoin donation, no matter the size, makes a big difference. We sponsor these students because we believe that investing in local education is one of the most powerful ways to provide these young people with opportunities for a future together with these beautiful animals. #elephanteducation #elephantawareness #antipoaching #bushbabies #bitcoin
