Open Lightning channels on your node, on @npub1get…0nfm , or @npub1xnf…lpr5 install @npub148q…jra7, swap to Liquid… fees will go up in the near or far future.
Be prepared.

Concentrating on privacy (no phone numbers, no KYC) and self custody would be more important than the purity test.

Our @npub1fqq…qzch Bitcoin week #Mozambique started with a 4 hour workshop attended by 80 people in Maputo.
Organized by @npub1rm5…68pk it was live translated by Daniel to Portuguese.
Talking about earning bitcoin I demonstrated #Nostr and many signed up immediately. @npub142g…xrj0 @npub1n0s…k6h0
I also introduced @npub1yul…ncdu as a way to obtain KYC free bitcoin.
Local projects
@npub1qqz…k2n7 @npub1aae…3xy5 and Lwandi Surf presented their initiatives too.

In 2025 we supported the founding of @npub1rm5…68pk, the first educational Bitcoin community in Mozambique.
Now we will travel to Maputo to run a series of workshops together with Bitcoin Famba.
Workshops for Civil Society, Journalists and Communities
will include:
Bitcoin – an introduction, how to install a wallet, and how to store, send, and receive Bitcoin safely
Nostr – earning Bitcoin for your content
@npub1yul…ncdu – obtaining Bitcoin without an ID to protect your privacy
Bitchat – communicating without an internet connection @npub12rv…85vg @npub1sg6…f63m
AI tools – using @npub10hp…dxkr and @npub16g4…kv4h to safeguard your privacy
BFF will co‑host the inaugural BitDevs meetup in Maputo with Bitcoin Famba on 7 March 2026. The agenda includes:
BitDevs – the history, goals, and mission of BitDevs meetups
Job and learning opportunities for Mozambican developers in the broader Bitcoin ecosystem
Ecash & Fedimint – secure community custody and offline payments
Visiting New Bitcoin Circular Economies

I have been saying that for years not only when the price drops. I don’t care if it drops. I am building, earning and spending bitcoin. I want it to be money. Everyone can do what they want, and I can say what I want. Bitcoin will resist it, but only if people hold their keys and this is definitely not the message of Saylor and Co.

2026-02-01 18:28:04

- reply

Well, the problem is that when constructs like Saylors or Black Rocks holdings are getting immensely high, they could capture Bitcoin’s development and these companies are interested in regulating bitcoin for their purposes. They have the money and the lobby to keep it captured in the financial system. Then you have a fully KYCed bitcoin and even more a censorable bitcoin.

2026-02-01 18:15:41

- reply

What I am saying is, if you hold derivatives/shares/ETFs of bitcoin you are not owning bitcoin. Only if you self-custody you opt out of the exclusive and permissioned fiat power system. What Saylor and many others are doing and what many Bitcoiners praise is „number go up“ only. This is not why I am using bitcoin. And I am trying to make people understand the difference.
He himself said he is the central bank of bitcoin. I didn’t make that up.

# Easy In, Impossible Out
It's easy to fall into the trap of convenience. Signing up for a free online service, because it's much more convenient than setting up a self-hosted version and costs nothing compared to paid products.
It's easy, but it's not simple to ever leave that service again. Over the years you added functionalities, expanded the use into even more interconnected free services, you even onboarded your small company or project. It's very practical.
But you always know something is wrong. Things that offer so much can't be without costs. Even in economies of scale, where each user added comes at low cost. There is a price to pay. And you pay. With your soul, because you are the product. You gave up sovereignty over your data, over your deepest thoughts and habits.
We don't see it, but every click, every scroll is being recorded. What you do, where you are, with whom you are. We have collectively lost power and the price is our dignity.
It's hard to change. To disentangle all the services. Fighting against a system designed to make leaving impossible.
The exit doors exist. Most of us just pretend we can't see them.
