Our #Bitcoin Mechanic has been starting conversations at his workplace about #Bitcoin Today he brought his workmate for some Juice from Juicy B and of course paid in #Bitcoin His key highlight is there are no fees on transactions made over lightning something he struggles with since he sometimes has to receive mobile money from clients and pay for local car parts, pay for parts from Kenya (of course @Tando.me came up) and the likes. This was his second #Bitcoin touch point, the first was @npub1m7r9...ny2w for airtime. Slowly then Suddenly S A V E S P E N D R E P L A C E zap him a juice (1,555 sats) and share the screenshot below - will use it drag him to #NOSTR (atukundaanold@blink.sv) Credits song by @Man Like Kweks video by @npub1ee6m...tfcv

Yesterday was a breakthrough! One of my biggest worries with the Save Starlight School project has been this: Will our 115 orphans and those who join in the future grow into employable, entrepreneurial, purpose-driven adults? Traditional education systems often fall short. They rarely equip children, especially those aged 3 to 16 like at @OrphansofUganda , with the real-world skills needed to become change-makers. And time is ticking fast. Yesterday at the Africa Business Heroes info session, I met one of the co-founders of MST Junior School, a school already building the kind of future I dream of: sustainable, skill-based education rooted in ICT, carpentry, music, engineering, and farming. We briefly explored the possibility of franchising or knowledge sharing and agreed for a future meeting, for the first time in a while I felt hope rise. Discovering mstjuniorschool.ac.ug genuinely lifted a huge burden off my shoulders(watch video below and check their website) Shoutout to RachealKabs and @studentofbitcoin who were the first to help me realize that raising well-rounded children isn’t just about money and buildings. And special thanks to Rachel Bashabe for the invite. You helped unlock something big.
Car service & repairs… paid in #Bitcoin! Atukunda Arnold is not only one of the best rugby players in Uganda 🇺🇬, he’s also the only mechanic who explains things in plain English 😂 We’ve been taking our time to learn about Bitcoin — with all the cars in our community (especially Gorilla Sats tours), we couldn’t keep selling #sats for fiat. Now he gets it, And more and more payments are happening in #Bitcoin. Feel free to tip him atukundaanold@blink.sv Fellow Rugby lovers Enjoy the Try 👇🏽👇🏽 image
Mining our first 21 sats w/ Gorilla Sats Thanks to @average_bitcoiner we received an Antminer S9J to get our foot in the door to commence #Bitcoin mining as part of our annual targets. As @⚡🔋jesse_hodl 🫵🏄‍♀️ always says "START" and you will figure mining out. Thanks to our mighty commanders @npub1epne...d0hm & @npub1qfwl...nav6 and all the youtube creators who made today possible.🤣 #hashrate ⚡️
“#Bitcoin is a self equilibrium mechanism , depending at which point in life you are, it will give you the most immediate privilege that you need” Thanks to PlanBElsalvador, I joined the “Bitcoin is for the Underprivileged” Panel with Mike Peterson & Piero Coen moderated by the so “privileged” @Joe Nakamoto 😂 Very insightful panel! We have added captions & you can watch the full video here:
Paying all people who don’t accept #Bitcoin is the most unnecessary headache 🤕 The world will be faster with #Bitcoin image
