Africa Bitcoin Day was a blastš§”!! Always a pleasure to talk Bitcoin and nostr:npub1tand04svfdhrt7lhg6687fh0y2xvxfpr9nkkj27rqfrxfpeklldsp48sax
We had a meaningful conversation on Bitcoinās infrastructure in Africa and for me, the core of that discussion always circles back to localizing Bitcoin products.
I believe this is key: making Bitcoin feel like a natural extension of tools people already know and trust. In Kenya, that means things like M-Pesa and Saccos. When Bitcoin is designed to fit within those familiar frameworks, it stops feeling foreign or overly complex and instead becomes just another, better way to save and spend money.
Because at the end of the day, people need to see bitcoin for what it truly is: money. In fact, better money. And to use it that way, they need tools that are simple & intuitive, just like the tools they already use every day. No one needs to understand every detail under the hood. We donāt ask that of cars or smartphones, and Bitcoin should be no different.
As builders, thatās our job: to simplify the experience. To compress the technical layers and present Bitcoin in a way thatās straightforward, relatable, and usable, so it can actually serve the people itās meant to empower.

I have uninstalled Tando. Never using their service again.
As you can all see, all other transactions came with a RefCode and Recipients name.
Don't refund me. Let's keep it that way for history purpose.

Hi we shared our customer support contact with you previously and asked that you reach out there whenever you experience an issue. It looks like all your other transactions have gone smoothly, aside from this one.
Itās disappointing to see you jump straight to public accusations without first reaching out to our support team especially when you havenāt contacted us through any official channels. If youāre genuinely seeking a resolution, weāre always here to help. Otherwise, the intention behind your message feels more like an attempt to mislead others, which is unfortunate.
Regardless, weāre still happy to look into the issue if you change your mind and decide to reach out through the proper support channels.
Another achievement unlockedš„³! Tando just smashed 21,000 completed transactions! The sacred numberš

Are you truly living, or just surviving?
I recently sat on a panel at The Coreās recent graduation on āWhy Bitcoin,ā and this was the core of my message.
Most people are stuck in a cycle: wake up, work, hustle, pay bills, repeat. They give it their all, yet it never feels like enough, not because theyāre doing something wrong, but because theyāre trapped in a broken system. A system that forces them to chase money that loses value every single day.
Itās easy to think life is getting more expensive, but the truth is, itās not. Itās that the money weāre working so hard for is losing value, thanks to inflation. It quietly steals from us, every day, without us even realizing it. So we keep hustling harder and harder, but no matter how much we work, it feels like weāre stuck in place.
This is why hustle culture has taken over. We're told to grind, to juggle side hustles just to stay afloat. But this isnāt a flex; itās a response to a broken system. And it's exhausting.
And that's where Bitcoin comes in.
Bitcoin is more than a financial system. It's freedom. Itās the soundest form of money in the world, scarce, decentralized, and built to protect value. Unlike fiat, it doesnāt erode your savings. It holds its worth, and over time, it can even grow.
When your money holds its value, you donāt have to keep running just to stay in place. Youāre no longer forced to trade all your hours for cash that quietly loses meaning. You get to reclaim your time and with it, your life.
Bitcoin gives you the space to breathe. To be human again. To spend time with your family. To rest. To create. To do the things that truly matter. To live, not just exist.
I encourage you to study Bitcoin. Explore it. Learn what it stands for. Donāt wait until itās too late to understand what could change everything. Bitcoin isnāt just money, itās the freedom to live on your terms. Choose to live Because life is too short to just survive. Letās livešāØ

It was an honor to share with the bitcoin-accepting merchants how Tando is a powerful tool for themš
Hearing directly from merchants about how they use Tando in their businesses, from restocking with suppliers to confidently accepting bitcoin payments, knowing they now have an easy way to spend it, was incredibly humbling. Thatās the kind of value weāre proud to bring to the circular economy.

Merchants are truly the heartbeat of Bitcoin circular economies. Theyāre the ones keeping the flow alive, offering the goods and services people need every day. But hereās the thing: they also need a way to use the bitcoin they earn. They need to restock, pay suppliers, and keep their businesses running.
Thatās exactly where nostr:nprofile1qqs97ekh6cxykm34l0m5ddrlymhj9rxrys3jemtf90psy3nysum0lkcppemhxue69uhkzerjv5h8xaf0qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hj7y726vf steps in, giving merchants the power to convert their BTC into real-world value, and keeping the momentum of the circular economy going.

Tando may have hacked the matrix!
The challenge with bitcoin circular economies is the same challenge with two-sided marketplaces: Who goes first?

Q: So how do you jumpstart the flywheel?
A: You lop off one side of the equation to eliminate the friction.
This merchant in Kibera, Kenya no longer fears bitcoin, because she's no longer stuck holding the bag and having to figure out how to spend the bitcoin she receives. With Tando the flywheel of spending doesn't get stuck because we removed all the friction points. Smooth!
