Historic Pivot: Teachers' Salaries Paid in #Bitcoin! 🥳
We never expected all 13 school staff to agree to be paid in #Bitcoin!
Due to previous salary delays, payday for teachers is coincidentally the 21st of each month.
This month's payday was special: we paid half of the salaries of Starlight Elementary School teachers in #Bitcoin.
Earlier, we discussed Bitcoin with them and decided to use part of their salaries upfront to buy basic smartphones for sending, receiving, and saving in Bitcoin. This cost only 62k sats(UGX 150,000) per phone, and of course future upgrades are anticipated, but something is better than nothing!
As highlighted on https://t.co/2ljv5keUpg, we set up @blinkbtc accounts for each teacher & at the right time we will introduce self custody.
Thanks to @orphansofuganda director Isma for leading the onboarding activity!
We are starting construction & there is more good news 😂 | Comment “21” when you see it!
Um desenvolvimento INCRÍVEL para a auto-custódia de #Bitcoin.
Uma solução focada em FAMÍLIAS especificamente, não em indivíduos.
#Bitcoin é fortuna geracional, a possibilidade de você estabelecer uma dinastia centenária com o seu nome.
Protegê-lo bem é um imperativo técnico.⚡️
I hope Bitcoiners realize that.
After a year of kids using #Bitcoin daily at school to buy fruit, adults are beginning to embrace the idea, focusing not on price and tech but in its potential to change society
any lightning banks can join the bitcoin network, anywhere on earth
fiat banks can't join the fiat network at will. they need a lot of permission to do so

As a guy living abroad on a Bitcoin standard, this is my new approach to self-custody now:
0. Custodial lightning wallet for receiving payments via LNURL with @blinkbtc
1. Lightning wallet for day to day use with @PhoenixWallet
2. Single sig wallet for once in a while transfers with @foundationhq and @SparrowWallet - great UX + passport is stealthy for air travel
3. Multi sig wallet for "family vault" with @SeedSigner and @SparrowWallet - easy to set up + open source + no dependence on manufacturers
Let's get to work!
