Thatās great progress. Canāt wait to see how many more communities pop up!
I took this photo three years ago today: an anti-bitcoin mob destroyed a Bitcoin ATM downtown before setting it on fire
Sept 15th is independence day in El Salvador. In 2021 this was 8 days after Bitcoin became legal tender and there was plenty of local opposition. I spent all day with a couple of thousand people--to this day the largest protest I have seen in El Salvador. They spray painted walls, blocked traffic and chanted slogans. Finally, once downtown, the crowd destroyed and burned one of the new Bitcoin ATMs
I was still pretty new to the country and still trying to understand how people felt about Bitcoin to discover the best approach for nostr:npub17cyatz6z2dzcw6xehtcm9z45m76lde5smxdmyasvs00r4pqv863qrs4ml3 The broad conclusion was that almost no one opposed to Bitcoin actually knew anything about it
I can't imagine this happening today. There is so much farther to go, but we've already come a long way

What gaps do you still see within the community pertaining to bitcoin literacy?
My favourite verse in the track!

I havenāt updated my visual book in over a year.
Would you be interested in a bitcoin visual encyclopedia?
If so, what sections would you like to see?
Highlighter newb here, trying to get a creator profile setup it fails to publish the event. I figure it thing to do with the relay. Do I need to run my own for this to work?
If you donāt have fiat, you have to spend btc in order to sustain yourself in the present and accept that its future exchange rate will indeed be higher.
The past year on the road, merchant adoption has been a priority for us. Why? They are the key to network effects for acceptance/payments.
Weāve been talking about a maturity model and finally put it on paper last night. Here is v1 based on our interactions with merchants and our bitcoin preferred juice shop in Uganda.
Would appreciate your feedback/comments on this.
We see the maturity of a merchant in three levels based on how money is used.
Level 1: SoV OR MoE (merchant onboards with either user case based on their need/pain)
Level 2: SoV & MoE
Level 3: SoV & MoE & UoA
There is maturity within each use case (ie SoV: storing in exchange vs cold storage). Weāre weak on the UoA use case so if you have experience with merchants pricing in sats, would love your thoughts!
Weāre hoping to continue flushing this out to create more collateral to help further merchant adoption.

Itās been one hell of a journey, will do a better job to share our progress. On the go for another 2 weeks and will have some breathing room to catch up.
What a day at Mohlakeng, Johannesburg š¤©

š @jabulani for making it happen
We met a lovely lady to runs a day care, a designer who makes clothing with a swag, a fast food vendor and a math tutor!
Looking forward to seeing the positive impact they continue to make in their community.




On a the lookout for a part time CTO to help launch a few open source products. Reach out if interested.
Your incentive? Progressing bitcoin adoption!
Weāve been on the road for a year now and have encountered a few problems (traveling, earning sats, on-boarding users, etc). Weād like to build a proof of concept and need a technical expert to join this journey.
Successful meetup in Gabarone chatting about their circular economy OlaBitcoin.

Did it frequently when it was readily available at the gym. Highly recommend it, you feel like a new person.
Where are you surfing?
So much happening with Nostr protocol. Whatās the best post/article/pod to catch up the recent developments? Feeling behind š
I feel so energized when I talk to people like nostr:npub1f7ptem2ztp9x4n7w62n90ddv40z0jrt4490d8lug3uasfwyjsccqkknerm, we just had an amazing 30min conversation about Bitcoin merchant adoption in Africa & how straightforward it really is. He seems to be far advanced in his knowledge of how to execute these concepts. nostr:npub13ljnkd633c7maxatymv3y2fqq8vt3qk7j3tt0vytv90eztwgha9qmfcfhw is his go to onboarding tool. Give him a follow!
Appreciate the kind words good sir! Canāt wait to improve adoption in circular economies like nostr:npub1xxcyzef28e5qcjncwmn6z2nmwaezs2apxc2v2f7unnvxw3r5edfsactfly
