I'm at Adopting Bitcoin conf in Cape Town, South Africa.

Some things learned today:

- The travel rule is coming to SA at around March

- Eskom is being lobbied intensely to incorporate Bitcoin mining to facilitate grid management and renewables adoption.

- Lots of circular economy initiatives are springing up all around South Africa.

- 3% of Pick 'n Pay's sales is in Crypto (2nd largest retailer in SA). That's one million Rand per month and a sextupling since 2022.
