In my latest piece for Forbes Crypto, I highlight the whirlwind of events following the controversial finance bill, the protests and its success, the resilience of the youth and their view of Bitcoin's role in Kenya's future πŸ‡°πŸ‡ͺ ❀️

Noelyne Sumba, a stellar Kenyan Bitcoiner and Machakura team member, put it best, "Many young Kenyans see Bitcoin as a way to escape the restrictive monetary policies imposed by international financial institutions, which have contributed to the country's economic challenges. Integrating Bitcoin into the financial system could reduce reliance on foreign debt and offer a way out from oppressive government policies that hinder economic and individual growth."

Very proud ofβ€”and inspired byβ€”the resilience shown by fellow Kenyan Bitcoiners and the youth on the ground in fighting against this bill and winning.

Here's to amplifying the voices of those we've lost over the last week and those who continue to fight πŸ•Š

Bitcoin does not require permission; simply joining is the greatest resistance to the fiat system.

You monkeys are very creepy. How about you use that crypto money to buy yourselves a vasectomy?
