Imagine having the answer to your neighbor’s struggles and choosing not to even share the information that could help them make better decisions about their future. 55M ppl live in Burma.

image One year ago today we introduced Nostr to 100 children in the hill tribes that have never interacted with money before. Bitcoin Lightning was their very first interaction.

Bitcoin has empowered us for over 3 years to directly uplift marginalized communities near the Burmese border in Northern Thailand by building bathrooms, kitchens, WiFi access, water wells, dormitories, funding scholarships, teaching English and delivering real basic infrastructure that improves lives.

Between 10-20 new people visit the Learning Center each week. Last week we met Kosmos a Bitcoiner who recently moved to the region. Maybe he will come to the Bitcoin Christmas Party 🎅 in the same outfit 😎 learn more about his Bitcoin lottery project in this fascinating podcast.

Showing up in person carries a weight that donations or social media posts never match. When people travel to marginalized communities, they bring human presence, dignity, and genuine connection. It signals that these communities are worth time, effort, and shared experience. Direct engagement builds trust, accelerates real change, and inspires the next generation far more than distant support ever can, especially when you bring the race to them and turn their community into the starting point of their own rising future. image

Our latest Bitcoin Running event sold out all 500 tickets in 12 days 💪🏼 The Bitcoin Trail Run sold out faster than ever! (12 days) We know many of the Thai (96% of registrations) didn’t get a chance to register, especially since most Thai get paid the last day of the month. To give everyone a fair chance, we’re reopening registration back up until noon on December 2nd. 💪🏼
