Important story to share!
Bitcoin Ekasi featuring in Forbes Africa shows how ordinary Africans use Bitcoin to protect savings & access economy.
Yet SA’s proposed crypto regulations risk criminalising everyday users, self-custody, p2p trx’s instead of focusing on bad actors.

I remember a long documentary on Bitcoin mining at Virunga. Still online?
At @LuganoPlanB conference we were given this opportunity already last year for our @BitcoinITWild initiative. We sold our handmade cuddlies in support of wildlife conservation. All cuddlies were sold out and paid in bitcoin 🙏🏽🙌🏽
We work with @LNCheckout POS @walletofsatoshi and @AquaBitcoin wallet.
Thanks to @mir_btc and @planb_network for the connections. #lugano

For many users, especially younger, digitally aware populations without regular internet access @Machankura8333 significantly lowers barriers to Bitcoin onboarding, making Bitcoin usage more akin to existing mobile money behaviors.
Beyond peer-to-peer transfers, users can spend Bitcoin with partner platforms connected via Lightning Network integrations: in Kenya, Bitcoin from Machankura wallets can be transferred to services like @tando_me and converted to M-PESA credit; in South Africa, local off-ramp partner @MoneyBadgerPay has integrated Lightning into point-of-sale systems covering hundreds of thousands of merchant locations. #bitcoinforafrica https://t.co/j8W6pl7N6T
