It means a lot to come home and share this award with the rest of the team.

From the very beginning, in August 2021, when we on-boarded our first shop and started paying our first salary in Bitcoin, it's never been a one-man show.

There's always been a team of people working together to make it all happen.

Thanks again @nprofile1q... and @nprofile1q...
for the recognition.

Watch 👀

A young woman spending some of her saved sats at the Bitcoin Ekasi Thrift Shop.

This is a reflection of the growing strength of the local Bitcoin circular economy, where locals keep value circulating, empowering the community and showing real, everyday Bitcoin adoption in action.

Good morning.

Spending sats is a gateway to saving Bitcoin.

Stablecoins are financial surveillance and exploitation tools.

That's all. Thanks!

“Stacking sats” teaches that anyone can build savings by consistently setting aside small amounts of Bitcoin. This practice fosters discipline, patience, and long-term thinking—especially for those striving to move beyond a hand-to-mouth lifestyle.

In communities without easy access to banks, Bitcoin education empowers people to store value securely, send money freely, and manage their own finances. It’s not just about technology—it’s about financial independence, empowerment, and hope.

Students in the @nprofile1q... Diploma program at Ekasi Center receive weekly rewards for consistent attendance and active participation.

These rewards recognize student dedication and encourage responsibility and discipline.

It also promotes real-world Bitcoin use by circulating sats, which helps students gain confidence, learn financial responsibility.

Last 4 to 5 posts got us almost 10k sats in zaps, most of which we zap to projects who do similar things. I think we're doing OK.
