„This time I am doing only a handful of slides!“ Result 35 slides 😂 Preparing my keynote for @Africa Bitcoin Conference in Mauritius next week.

„Bitcoin für die Zivilgesellschaft“ my keynote at an event for nonprofits in Vienna. Around 80 people showed up. I was demonstrating how Bitcoin supports human rights and is an irreplaceable tool for civil society and democracy especially in authoritarian regimes. Also showing how @BTCPay Server can be used to collect donations. Went very well, audience learned about the other side of Bitcoin outside pure hodling and speculation. @Bitcoin Austria thanks for organization.

Giving a talk about „Bitcoin for the Civil Society“ in Vienna this evening. Means I am a bit nervous and waiting the whole day for it to begin. I prefer morning or at least early afternoon engagements.

My new article captures the current state of Bitcoin in Zimbabwe. The country had six currency collapses since 1980. Bitcoin hasn't solved Zimbabwe's broader economic problems. It won't fix corruption, infrastructure, or international sanctions, but for people willing to learn, it offers something Zimbabwe's government cannot take away: financial sovereignty. I'm sharing the story of a farmer, because too many Bitcoin discussions stay theoretical. Critics dismiss it as speculation; maximalists oversell it as a panacea. The truth is more practical: in countries with broken monetary systems, Bitcoin provides tools that actually work - if you're willing to learn and adapt. Ethan's farm isn't running on ideology; it's running on math and incentives that align with reality. Full article:
