Our youngest competitor from The Surfer Kids, Avethandwa (11) surfing at the final junior trials today, before district team selection. He's got a very good chance to be included in the team and will almost certainly compete at the South African Champs in Oct!

I think someone is trying to tell us something.
First, our @nprofile…8lcc account gets suspended from X, just three days before the January 2025 event. No explanation, despite multiple inquiries.
Fortunately we already had Nostr. And we kept posting updates there throughout the conference.
Then, after much internal debate, the organizing team decides to start a new X account, to promote the 2026 conference to the widest audience possible...
We even committed the cardinal sin of joining Facebook, Instagram and (shock, horror!!!) TikTok.
To that end, we appointed a social media manager: @nprofile…j5z0, who's from Tanzania, to get the word out as far as possible. We want new people (not yet into Bitcoin) to attend the conference.
And as soon as we did.... X gets blocked in Tanzania.
Not too mention, Kwek's favorite social media is Nostr. He has more followers here, than anywhere else...
So, what's the moral of the story here?
You tell me.

The South African government wants to regulate independent podcasts.
Yeah, because that's worked so well to ensure the veracity of traditional media.
I'm sure they'll do a great job, nothing to worry about!

Stoked!! The Surfer Kids has its first female Surf Coach!
Linomtha (14) has been consistently attending the daily program for 7 years. She joined when she was only 7!
She was recently appointed as junior coach, along with 6 young men. All of whom have been surfing with us for several years and have learnt advanced surf skills.
Youngsters can choose to opt in as junior coaches from age 14 onwards, and can progress to senior coaching positions when they turn 18. Linomtha is the first girl to break through that threshold and be appointed as a junior coach.
Recruiting (and retaining) girls has been challenging, for various reasons. But hopefully, with an inspiring role model to look up to, more girls will join!
And, off course, as with our entire team, Linomtha will now earn her Junior Coaching salary paid entirely in sats!
🧡🔥🌍

It's so cool to see how stoked these kids are on surfing!!!
And having watched the program evolve over the past decade or so, watching them improve, year after year, watching the coaches learn to become more effective, and getting breakthrough results, it al makes sense now.
All those years of questioning the reasons for doing this, but persisting regardless, sometimes for no reason other than persistence itself, it's beginning to some serious results.
The future is bright.

Yesterday we received preliminary approval to go ahead with our plans to build a new Ekasi Support Center, to help our the community through the coming adoption phase of hyper bitcoinization.
The decision was made during a local council meeting, almost a year after we submitted our original application. There's a long process that remains before building can start, but this is a major step forward.

absolutely, couldn't agree more. the ANC government is desperate, their support is crumbling, they're running out of money, they've promised to undertake huge public infrastructure projects that they cannot afford, borrowing is becoming more and more expensive, and they're corrupt to their core.
but there are many many good people in south africa who are working hard to turn things around.

when talking to an audience of 200 million people all around the world, you don't think it's important to differentiate between an actual ongoing genocide and a potential, but not yet happening, genocide? or are we gonna treat all potentialities the same as if they'd already occurred?

2025-03-25 08:54:13

Good morning.
Here's why Nostr matters to me. It's personal now.
Elon Musk is making exaggerated claims about South Africa. His statements imply there's an ongoing genocide currently happening against white people, which there isn't. I should know. I'm white and I live in South Africa.
👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽
https://m.primal.net/PsOo.jpg
And try as I might, corrective statements I make on twitter get very little traction, far less than my average post.
👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽
https://m.primal.net/PsOn.png
It may be true, it may not, but it's obvious that it's in the interest of Elon's algorithm to remove all nuance from the conversation and make it as divisive as possible.
👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽
https://m.primal.net/PsPG.jpg
Case in point, this "major political party" he refers to got less than 10% of the vote in recent elections and they've been shrinking, not growing. Their habit of singing a song that calls for killing "boers" (aka white people) is absolutely despicable. But most people (of all races) can see that and have little appetite for it.
Which is why there's no reason to expect that its leader, Julius Malema, will ever be South Africa's next president. Off course this may change, the future is uncertain, but as things stand now, it is a HIGHLY unlikely expectation.
👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽
https://m.primal.net/PsPZ.jpg
Don't me wrong. There are huge problems in South Africa. Our current president doesn't have the backbone to condemn the very obvious racist rhetoric of parties like the EFF, while pretending that very serious concerns raised aren't real.
👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽
https://m.primal.net/PsQj.png
And in a way it's good that someone like Elon draws attention to it.
However, I'm almost certain that his particular rhetoric isn't helping nearly as much as it's dividing people and inflaming the situation. And I wish he'd instead draw more attention to and amplify many of the more reasonable voices that do speak about this.
👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽
https://m.primal.net/PsQk.png
But this won't happen.
If it bleeds it leads. And if someone controls the algorithm, why would they push something that draws less attention to their own platform?
Simple answer is, they won't. And this is why Nostr matters, to me.
It doesn't fix this today.
But at least I know there's a potential solution. Ready for us, when we are ready for it.

Solo mining looks fun, and (apparently) people are finding blocks, who would've thought !
So we moved some of our BItaxe miners, donated by @nprofile…wgqp to solo mining!
Still running the mini-miner donated by the legends at Braiins Mining on a pool.

We have our FIRST EVER provincial champion!!!
Avethandwa just won gold at the Surfing South Africa Grommet Games in Muizenberg, Cape Town!!!
(This is in addition to the 4 silver medals and 1 bronze medal collected by The Surfer Kids at this event!)
We started The Surfer Kids in 2010, with nothing. Literally nothing. If you told me then, that it'd take this long to get here, I wouldn't have believed you.
But I don't know how to stop, so I didn't. That's the one thing I'm really good at. Not quitting 😂 And so, here we are. Almost 15 years later.
I'm not getting too excited, however. Because this is just a small step in the bigger scheme of things.
We're going to get a gold medal at South African Championships. And then, at a World Surf League Qualifying Event, and finally, at the Championship Tour level. Write it down, then come back, and check in, in another 15 years.
The next Italo Ferreira, John John Florence, or Gabriel Medina, a future world champion, could already be among the kids who attend our surfing program next week.
From where I'm sitting, looking at this, the obvious question is: "Why not? Why is anything impossible?"
And if you don't see it that way, that's because you don't understand our (very open) secret.
Our biggest challenge in accomplishing this, or any other goal, is self-belief. Getting the kids, the coaches and our entire team (including myself) to believe that the impossible is in fact possible.
The question is not how do you train a champion? The question is, how do you instill the necessary self-belief?
And the way you do that is by giving people tools with which to overcome self doubt, with which to combat hopelessness, and create for themselves the hope that a better future is possible.
Our secret weapon, first deployed in 2021 with the creation of Bitcoin Ekasi, and now bearing real fruit, and by far the most potent tool I know of, is Bitcoin.

A brief overview of The Surfer Kids' program stats for February:
Total surf sessions: 17
Total active recruits: 64
Average attendance / day: 30 children
Average attendance / child: 8 sessions (49%)
Total number of children earning rewards, with at least 80% attendance: 8

While competitive success is not The Surfer Kids' primary objective, we do want to give those kids who are hungry for it the best chance at success.
But there aren't enough local surf comps for the kids, and so, when they're at the big events they struggle with nerves. They're not used to dealing with the pressures of competition.
To fix this, we're launching our own little surf series and inviting all members of the local Eden surfing federation to come and compete.
First event is this weekend.

Are you paying prize money in sats? Hypothetically speaking, if you did, do you have nearby merchants onboarded where those sats can be spent? Hypothetically, if yes, you do, would you be willing to follow up, to make sure the prize money is spent as sats, at those stores, and post video of it?

An interesting new add-on to this year's road-trip (following Adopting Bitcoin Cape Town) was a visit to two primary schools, to see what they're doing with Bitcoin Adoption.
One of those two schools had their entire first rugby team kitted out in a brand-new "STUDY BITCOIN" kit!
As things stand now, Volschenk Primary School will attend the Oakdale and Willie Le Roux Rugby Events, lining up with their new kit, facing thousands of spectators.
All-in-all, in 2025, they will play more than 40 matches against neighboring schools, and some of their opposition teams will be sponsored by large South African banks. It's not uncommon to see Absa, FNB and Standard Bank on the uniforms of schools' sports' teams.
I will definitely attend at least one of those games to see the crowd's response.
If you wanna help this brave team of little giants do more for Bitcoin adoption, please consider supporting them here:

A Bitcoin Circular Economy is a geographically concentrated effort (an effort that is focused on a relatively small area/population) that promotes the use of bitcoin as an everyday form of money, without, as far as possible, converting to and/or touching the fiat system in any way, whatsoever.
This includes services where Bitcoin is used to make purchases, but where the merchant never sees any sats. These services are preferable to using fiat on both ends, but they're not ideal. Ideally we want both the customer and merchant interacting directly with one another, and directly with Bitcoin only. These services can however be (and very often are) an ideal stepping stone and should be treated as such.
A Bitcoin Circular Economy promotes using bitcoin to pay salaries, make grocery purchases and do everything with bitcoin that would otherwise normally be done with fiat, in a way that is p2p and direct, as far as possible. The idea first emerged in Arnhem, in the Netherlands, in 2014, with ArnhemBitcoinstad, but really exploded with the founding of Bitcoin Beach in El Salvador, in 2019.
We (Bitcoin Ekasi) and others, like @nprofile…vn70
and @nprofile…t0pm , copied the Bitcoin Beach
model and adjusted for local context, starting around 2021. Several more projects have followed. @nprofile…0dkf is, in part, an effort to track, catalogue and provide a blueprint of the various circular economies and their different models, so that the idea may spread even further and be more easily and widely adopted.
Ultimately, we're all working towards the same thing: To establish Bitcoin as global money, and we believe the best way of doing that is through establishing circular economies.
The separation of money and state, which is perhaps the only thing Bitcoiners can agree on, is, in essence, nothing more than a global Bitcoin circular economy, which, in turn, is nothing more than countless smaller interlinked circular economies.
These do not have to be formal projects. In fact, many aren't. All it needs to be is an attempt to solve both ends of the adoption equation:
Who will spend the sats? And where will they spend it?

he actually surprised me. started off by admitting that he didn't understand Bitcoin as well as his audience, then made the point that our national debt was a major problem and that spending more on servicing debt than delivering government services is a major issue.
it was also impressive to see how many of the talks he listened to and how intently he listened to all of them.

Is there a way to schedule posts, here on Nostr, like one would on twitter? If there is, I don't see it. I'm using Primal and Amethyst.
Trying to use Nostr more to promote @npub1p0x…deeh
On twitter I can schedule a bunch of speaker announcements, all at once, and the posts go out, at the right times, while I'm doing other things.
Not being able to do it on Nostr makes it tough to use this network as much as I'd like to, for this conference.

Uuummm, well, maybe to learn that it's a very large continent and, like Asia, North America, etc., there's some shitty places and some really awesome places...

Just landed in Cape Town. One more short domestic flight to George / Mossel Bay tomorrow, then we're home!

Pupusas and Pepperoni Pizza Pockets.
A self-produced surf movie.
(Because I finally gave up on being included in a proper feature film.)

It's OK if you hold and use stablecoins, off course.
Not OK if you're advocating that stablecoins represent the future of digital currencies.

There are people out there who see hyper-bitcoinization as maxi-echo chamber talk, and instead advocate for a future based around stablecoins.
Personally, I can't imagine a more bleak future.
Imagine if, in 50 years from now, all we accomplished was to make fiat shitcoins easier to move around...

Today's our last day in Costa Rica. What an awesome place, so glad we stopped here before heading home.

The local township primary school, where The Surfer Kids has been recruiting kids from since 2014, now has a new sign above the main entrance.

After mounting the below sign, here's the message we received from the principal:
"Miss Williams [our resident Bitcoin Diploma teacher] and your team, please express my words of gratitude to Bitcoin Ekasi and The Surfer Kids for this donation. On behalf of the school, I wish to thank you guys.
You took us from a Coca-Cola board to a real school signboard.
[Prior to this, at the school entrance, its name was displayed a typical Coca-Cola advertising board.]
Thank you very much and we are proud of you. We humble ourselves in front of you and we are looking forward to work with you guys educating us about Bitcoin moving forward. Please arrange to continue sessions with the teachers, one-on-one, in 2025.
We're interested in learning how we can use Bitcoin as a school organization.
Again, thank you very much. A Merry Christmas and a prosperous new year to you.
We are very proud of this signboard."
