True Grit (the Jeff Bridges one, not the John Wayne one)
And yet there are Bitcoiners that will go π€
They're rad. I feel like I'm cutting the grass with a pod racer.
That one public speaking class in college where they were vaguely told to "use your hands"
A lesson I'm still trying to learn π§‘π GM and PV
File this under the example of some Bitcoiners thinking they're right about everything just because they're right about Bitcoin π
Smoker here (though I smoke much, much less than I used too). There's is nothing about smoking that is "good" for you. π I can't even imagine what arguments those people would be trying to make.
I'm super proud of this dude!
nostr:npub1g3aqekerzspf3j288r03ugpyn54yq09h7mld56fdf8rewvdc0upqwh0l3q just finished reading 'The Bitcoin Standard' by nostr:npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak
Bongani is a 15-year-old learner in Gr. 10 at Indwe Secondary School in Mossel Bay.
He's been with The Surfe Kids for several years, but when we opened Ekasi Center in 2022, he gravitated towards learning more about #Bitcoin
Everyday, after school, Monday to Friday, he works as a teacher's assistant with our full-time teacher, nostr:npub1lsguzhxl7vt93e86xusyp78dhc76su4llv2h463zqdgxy25j3tvqaemmvv, at Ekasi Center, helping her run daily Bitcoin Diploma classes, as part of the My First Bitcoin network.
Bongani started working his way through 'The Bitcoin Standard' in Oct 2023 and finished it this week, with the help of a volunteer tutor, nostr:npub1a95w2zch0gqfa0vhlgygz0xklwxccw6st88qkmhsk8d3tke2sqaqamsnzq. In Bongani's own words, "this was the longest book he's ever read", and he had to learn a lot of new vocabulary, which impressed his tutor. The feedback from Jason was very positive.
Jason and Bongani had weekly calls, where they would discuss the book, chapter by chapter, often breaking chapters up into sub sections.
Super appreciative of the effort by nostr:npub1a95w2zch0gqfa0vhlgygz0xklwxccw6st88qkmhsk8d3tke2sqaqamsnzq
This is an incredibly valuable contribution for which we're beyond grateful.
Jason and Bongani will continue their work together and I've been told that the next book in line is 'Why Buy Bitcoin' by Andy Edstrom.
I am optimistic about the future because of kids like Bongani.

I'd say it's more of the latter. For me, there's something about that connection that only comes from a shared artistic experience. Even if you've heard the song a million times, even if you've stepped insided that same venue a million times, the experience will be unique because of the people that share it and what they bring to it. It's a moment in time that can never be recreated in exact detail.
