correct, theory is no substitute for price. but price is no substitute for demonstration. some people will onboard for profit, because they have capital to invest. but most don't. the majority will onboard for sake of utility. thus demonstration.

We’ve reached the limit of onboarding through explanation alone.

The people who respond to theory - monetary policy, sovereignty, inflation - they're already here. That wave is done.

The next wave will not be onboarded through words.

They'll be onboarded through demonstration.

A simple purchase.
Milk at a corner store.
Everyday transactions.
That’s what makes Bitcoin real.
And when Bitcoin does something fiat can’t - that’s when it clicks.

Education still matters, it is crucially important - but it follows demonstration, not the other way around.

And this is why circular economies matter.

They are live proof:
Earn in sats.
Spend in sats.
Repeat.

Nothing demystifies Bitcoin faster than using it.

And that’s exactly what we’re doing. We’re building simple, real-world demonstrations:

👉Daily #SPEDN videos - real transactions, not staged.
👉Kids earning sats through rewards programs.
👉A thrift store priced entirely in sats.
👉An old-school arcade machine - scan, tap, pay with sats, play.

No theory. No abstraction.
Just Bitcoin, working.

Stop explaining Bitcoin.
Start showing it.

I created this Nostr profile with some uncertainty as to what I'd post here. Initially I posted a mix of personal stuff and posts that represented Bitcoin Ekasi & The Surfer Kids projects.

But I've now created a separate personal account - @vryfokkenou

You can follow me there if you're curious about Bitcoin and surfing in South Africa or the back story behind Bitcoin Ekasi & The Surfer Kids.

Also, being a recovering drug addict and owing my life to a 12-step recovery program that involves surrender to a higher power, I will inevitably also share a bunch of stuff related to that.

And I might mix it up with some nice photos, from time to time.

Going forward this account @BitcoinEkasi will only be used to represent the two projects I founded, Bitcoin Ekasi & The Surfer Kids, and I am no longer the only person who posts from here.

Both @LuthandoSABTC🇿🇦 and @nprofile1q... - Community Project Lead and Surf Team Manager - hold the private key to post on this profile.

About a month ago, some of you might remember we posted a video of one of our groms , 8-year-old Phumlisa — who won the U8 Boys division at the Western Cape Grommet Games.

Well, Ama isn’t just talented in the water… he absolutely shreds on a skateboard too 🛹🔥

Here’s a short edit of him tearing up our bowl this afternoon.
