WE HAVE TWO BUSINESSES FUNDED. 🔄🔥
And this is bigger than two people receiving capital.
In August alone, two merchants from the Bitbiashara community were funded through recoverable grants on @geyserfund .
And this is what makes it so exciting for our community:
The capital doesn’t end there.
It goes into a business.
The business grows.
The capital comes back.
Another business gets funded.
That business grows.
The capital comes back again.
Business after business.
Merchant after merchant.
Again and again.
That’s the power of a circular grant.
So when we say two businesses have been funded, we’re not saying we’ve helped two people and we’re done.
We have simply started a cycle.
And for a grassroots community like ours, this is a HUGE milestone.
It means capital can keep working.
It can move from one business to another, creating opportunities for more people within the same community.
Two merchants in August.
And we’re just getting started.
How many businesses can this same capital reach?
I’m very curious to see what the future holds. 🟠🔄

Self-custody isn’t just a Bitcoin skill — it’s a mindset. 🧠₿🔥
Building a generation that understands Bitcoin AND knows how to secure it. 🌍🔐
We had a ₿itcoin self custodial educational session, used @bluewallet & @Blockstream for ease of use where we performed bitcoin transactions. We progressed from #SPEDN into self custody. We’re growing Bitcoiners who understand sovereignty🗝️ 🔒 .

Can South Africa’s government control Bitcoin?
FMF CEO @DavidAnsara sits down with Bitcoin advocate Jacques Strydom to unpack Treasury’s proposed crypto rules, self-custody, sound money and why Bitcoin challenges the state’s control over money.
Don’t miss it.

We learned about conditional statements and how to apply them in robotics to control LEDs and other devices. In Scratch programming, using conditional blocks to control sprites and events. The same logical thinking applies across both hardware and software programming
Who really created Bitcoin? 👀
Satoshi Nakamoto remains a mystery, but the 2008 Bitcoin Whitepaper introduced an idea that changed how we think about money forever.
₿ Created by Satoshi. Owned by everyone.

🌍Project Spotlight: SowetoBtc
📍 Location: Soweto, South Africa 🇿🇦
About:
SowetoBtc is a non-profit, Bitcoin-only education and mentorship initiative.
The project delivers practical Bitcoin financial literacy to underprivileged youth while onboarding local small and medium businesses to accept Bitcoin payments.
Through Bitcoin education sessions, and ongoing community workshops, SowetoBtc has already engaged over 100 participants who earn and spend sats at local merchants.
The project also supports merchant onboarding (including Bitcoinize POS machines) to build a real circular economy where residents can earn, save, and spend Bitcoin daily.
Key Objectives:
1. Deliver accessible Bitcoin financial education and mentorship to underprivileged youth, including structured courses, diplomas, and practical skills for self-custody and sovereignty.
2. Onboard local merchants and SMEs (spaza shops, food outlets, service providers, and more) to accept Bitcoin payments seamlessly, including through dedicated POS solutions.
3. Empower Soweto’s youth with real-world Bitcoin skills that shift mindsets from job-seeking to global economic participation and long-term financial independence.
4. Strengthen and grow a thriving local Bitcoin circular economy where sats circulate daily among residents and businesses without constant conversion to fiat.
5. Expand genuine financial inclusion across Soweto by giving the community open, permissionless tools to control their own economic future and build resilience.
