From 2025 on visitors to Kenya must declare the IMEI of their phone at entry!! With this obligatory declaration Kenyan authorities can track everyone in realtime.
The IMEI is the unique identifier of your device, you can not change it. As soon as you use a SIM card / or eSim - these have their own unique IDs as well, which then are associated with your IMEI. This is a global standard. https://image.nostr.build/959f91de7882be9579c77d8b521f59befea6ddc9a18926472e5559e1d5833120.jpg

I dedicate my work to Bitcoin and freedom tech, because in a world of wars, human rights abuses, corporate and governmental surveillance, ...and on goes the list.., it's crucial to have tools for people's self-defense and for millions it's really about survival. https://image.nostr.build/80dd030b5f51a7cbf2c9744400474ca419071d0a97775d891c63b59b3eda845e.jpg

I usually go through people I got to know over the years online or who I have met at an event like a Bitcoin meetup or conference. I ask them if they know someone in their area who wants to change with me. And then meet these people. It's pretty easy. Important is that you can trust your peer. If you're on the btc receiving side, then wait for at least one confirmation on the blockchain before you hand over the cash.

This was an on chain transaction that I did with Blue Wallet, which gives you self-custody. It's pretty easy actually. I don't know what you exactly want to know.

Yesterday I helped someone in Lebanon to download and install a Bitcoin wallet. I was in the USA. After about one hour back and forth we sent emergency relief money that was received within seconds.

Not CO2 consumption.... Production of course

2024-09-16 12:49:06

Norway has incredible amounts of excess renewable energy. Nonetheless new regulations want to force bitcoin mining out of the country, because of the alleged high CO2 consumption.
Which is silly in two ways as below result shows:
first it increases the cost of green energy for residents and secondly it drives mining to other places which might use more fossil fuels and increase CO2 emissions.
A lose lose for Norway.

Use @npub1exv…d828 messenger! It gives you the best #privacy protection.
Unlike #Signal it doesn’t need your phone number.
#Telegram and #WhatsApp not only want your phone number they collect loads of data and metadata from your device. Especially vile is the collection of your device‘s IMEI (device ID) and sharing all that data with companies to make money and with authorities due to the need to comply.
In authoritarian countries this metadata can cost you your life! https://image.nostr.build/02ffc444d66398e8906d442253c4993cd721e9a331f88819d0a4966ef1da2e3f.jpg

Fantastic book.
„We need to puncture the self-importance of the age with regular contact with older, deeper, wider sources of feeling: through contact with a natural world that pursues its own priorities with little reference to our own sagas, through the reading of history books that shrink our modern-day adventures and convulsions to a more manageable and rightful size, and through travel to countries that take no interest in our own peculiar national preoccupations, scandals and triumphs.“ https://image.nostr.build/40c2108a0f1f5660509465dd296b6189457d488979a7a0ee2d7819ddabda1fb3.jpg

The fact that bitcoin’s price is falling shows how it’s still correlated with traditional assets, and that the majority is not self-custodying all of which goes to show that 99% of people still don’t understand how fundamentally different bitcoin is.
