π¨ATTN Bitcoiners, today we ask for your help. Please read.
Estela Aguilar, known locally as the Abuelita, is the founder of the first farmer's market to accept Bitcoin in Costa Rica.
Her story is inspiring. She has fought harder & sacrificed more than anyone I've ever met to defend her personal sovereignty, freedom & way of life.
She recently sat down for an interview that will both make your jaw drop and warm your heart. All in 3 minutes. Be sure to watch this video, it's the best one you will see today on Twitter.
As a mother of 6, she's been shot, beaten, arrested & jailed while defending her small farm in the countryside from multinational corporations looking to take her land.
This 74 year old woman instinctually knew that Bitcoin is freedom money and she was all in from the very first day we met. Every week, she gladly sells the products of her farm for Bitcoin. She's a natural born HODLr.
Just a couple weeks ago, she took in a family of Venezuelan migrants and provided them with shelter, food, clothes, medicine, anything they needed. Putting politics aside, she saw people in need and she gave with all her heart.
In return, one of these migrants (while on drugs & alcohol), intentionally set fire to every structure on her little farm burning it to the ground. Then they disappeared.
She's filed a police report, but doesn't expect anything to happen- these people are long gone.
We're asking you to donate some sats to help rebuild her home. Anything helps.
