My first long form article via @YakiHonne 💪 2026 will be Nostr first! Will include it with other Freedom Tech tools into our programs in Southern Africa. View quoted note →

Writing a review of our @Bitcoin for Fairness in 2025. It’s tedious work, but helps me to reflect on the many things that we made happen this year. Next step: getting the review ready as my first long form post on Nostr.

Has anyone used sms4sats recently? My sats weren’t automatically refunded as promised. Their email support is unreachable (Telegram option - I am not using telegram)

Google has changed its sign up process (maybe not news, I haven't tried for a while). No more receiving to one time numbers, now you have to send a text message to them from your phone. Everything step we take is kyc-ed. Preserving one's privacy is getting harder and actually impossible as most countries do not allow burner numbers.

Favorite place to relax in winter. Wishing you happy holidays, rest and peace! We will need power and perseverance in 2026. With the global increase of authoritarianism our fight for privacy, freedom tech and resistance money matters more than ever.

Today we had 20 people from different African regions in our @npub1fyd9...c7xw live call learning about Bitcoin, running nodes and merchant adoption. Looking forward to see the impact of their work over the next years! All students have a scholarship funded by donors of @Bitcoin for Fairness.

My most important talk of 2025: „privacy, self-custody, and permissionlessness are non-negotiable“ My insights from spending the last five years working on Bitcoin education across several African countries. I explain why real adoption requires local solutions, not “adoption theater,” and why privacy, self-custody, and permissionlessness are non-negotiable. I also highlight powerful stories of activists, community builders, and initiatives shaping the future of Bitcoin on the continent.

What’s next? Size of our underwear, sexual partners, health records… Outrageous.

Incredible impressions over Mauritius.

Privacy should be the default! @Obi 🔅 and @npub1etqx...klqn at @Africa Bitcoin Conference
