Today I met @mulos and his friend @TheDabsEffect who recently opened a #Bitcoin kiosk in Lusaka #Zambia. Mulos has been helping people to exchange money for years. I brought the Bitcoin flyer, we installed a Lightning wallet and I sent a payment. They liked the small fees 😀
The Bitcoin flyer is a 2 pager for beginners and meetups. You can download it here and also translate it, just contact me to put it on the @BFFbtc website. bffbtc.org/flyer
You like my work and my efforts with @BFFbtc to foster Bitcoin adoption on the ground in the Global South? It’s all community powered and funded by donations.

Feel free to support via geyser.fund/projects/bff or send sats to our⚡️lightning address bff@geyser.fund
@IBEX_Mercado @carlostoriello you won’t believe how the area is called, where they have their kiosk 😀 it’s name is „Ibex extension“.

1/4 Sending Bitcoin without Internet!

Millions of people in Africa are using mobile money on their feature phones. It works without internet. They can't just download and use a Bitcoin wallet app.

Now it's possible to send #bitcoin just like mobile money with USSD code.
2/4 With @Machankura8333 it's possible to send and receive #lightning bitcoin in Ghana, Kenya, Namibia, Nigeria, Malawi, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia on any mobile phone just with airtime.
3/4 It's a custodial solution and therefore you should use it only for daily spendings and not keep a lot of money on it.
Here I'm showing how you can send #bitcoin via USSD code to a lightning address on our @BFFbtc crowdfunding page on @geyserfund

1/39 A Black Raised Fist on My Book Cover - A “Bold Choice”

The logo on the cover of my book - a black raised fist in the shape of the African continent holding a Bitcoin logo - was described as being a “bold choice for a white Austrian author” recently. Image
2/39 The tweet author, a “white guy from New York” is currently writing a book about crypto and fraud. Hence I assume he is searching for all possible reasons to attack Bitcoin.
3/39 Since I’m aware of the problem of cultural appropriation and someone in that thread mentioned “Bitcoin colonialism” I guess this is what the author meant with “a bold choice”. Maybe I’m featured as a Bitcoin colonialist in his upcoming book?

Why is no Bitcoiner except for @gladstein talking about the dark sides of governmental BTC adoption in El Salvador? Sure nocoiners use it as an attack. But Bitcoiners should ask questions and stay vigilant too. I wrote this @BitcoinMagazine. bitcoinmagazine.com/culture/report…
In my research I found out among other things that
- the plans for Bitcoin City are a template downloaded from the internet archello.com/story/27299/at…
- the Chivo wallet was made by Algorand (I heard that from a reliable source and I ask: if it's not true, why is there no transparency about the technical layout from the government?)
This is the only document I found and this was "leaked".

1/ 50 years ago today, the US, lead by President Richard Nixon, unilaterally terminated convertibility of the US dollar to gold, effectively bringing the Bretton Woods system to an end and rendering the dollar a fiat currency. #wtfhappenedin1971
2/ Afterwards currencies around the world became fiat currencies, and the global monetary system became less ordered.
3/ This was the first time in human history that this happened, where all currencies in the world at the same time were rendered into fiat currencies, which are backed by ...nothing, it's money by decree.

1/ Is This the End of Privacy?

It’s really sad and annoying to observe that Europe aims to be the next China regarding mass-surveillance. Backdoors in private messaging apps will fire back at those who are now in favor of these new legislations.
2/ Countries like Germany and Austria should actually know better, but it seems we haven’t been learning from our dark history. I’m thankful for all the “Cypherpunks who write code” as Eric Hughes put it in his Cypherpunk manifesto from 1993.
3/ “Privacy is necessary for an open society in the electronic age. … We cannot expect governments, corporations, or other large, faceless organizations to grant us privacy … We must defend our own privacy if we expect to have any.
