Bitcoin Circular Economies in South Africa & Beyond
[đź”— Links in comment]
My guest today on YoureTheVoice (nprofile…jf2l) is Hermann Vivier co-founder of South Africa’s “Surfer Kids” and bitcoinekasi (nprofile…xspp) building a circular economy where Bitcoin empowers underserved communities. Hermann shares how The Surfer Kids nonprofit uses surfing as a vehicle to teach life skills and foster resilience, while Bitcoin Ekasi builds a circular economy, paying salaries in Bitcoin and empowering underserved communities to adopt financial sovereignty.
We discussed:
* Why use Bitcoin as money?
* Bitcoin as a medium of exchange & a tool for societal change
* Using Bitcoin to navigate failing state systems
* The power of grassroots education
