The @The Orange Rocket🚀 describes how @LuthandoSABTC🇿🇦 was there for him in difficult times and how being a part of the @BitcoinEkasi / The Surfer Kids community has changed his life in profound ways.

Hermann Vivier of @BitcoinEkasi describes how the capital flow regulations being proposed in South Africa 🇿🇦 are comparable to Executive Order 6102, which prohibited U.S. citizens from owning gold. Such regulations become particularly dangerous in high-inflation environments.
