From an upgrade to @fedimint to an inspirational conversation with a Kenyan community leader and entrepreneur, we had a lot to be excited about this week.
A thread 🧵:
What we love most about communities is how they take action to solve their problems.
And as @Modibe_ said in the Fedi Community Chat episode with Bright of @bitspenda, builders in these communities don’t wait for institutions to come and solve their problems. They build tools to tackle them.
Click the link in the thread to learn how Bright solved the problem he identified in his community and went on to build Bitspenda.
For as long as many Bitcoiners can remember, self-custody has been the ideal: hold your own keys, and no company can freeze or seize your money.
But it puts every risk on you. One lost seed phrase, and it's gone for good.
There's a third option, between doing it all yourself and trusting an exchange, where no single person or outside company can access or control your bitcoin. It's called community custody.
We wrote an article about community custody and how it works. Link to the article is in the thread. 👇
Engineers obsess about "Function"
Non-engineers obsess about "Experience + Aesthetics"
the ideal spot for Pre-PMF is the point where "function + experience" co-exist...
Aesthetics is a nice-to-have when customers get reliable and convenient service from your product.
Kibera is a preview. Hundreds of millions live in cash-based economies with no formal bank access. @Vivianna_ki and I just documented how the @AfribitKibera community leapfrogged straight to permissionless money.

"not everyone has the luxury of an extra 10,000 hours to study bitcoin. Most people just need simple tools to move value." –@waithiraah
