[Bitcoin Africa Story @btcafricastory]

The day we buried “Africa”… and Bitcoin showed up at the funeral 💀

On May 9, 2026, at the Market Theatre in Johannesburg, the @WordNSound Poetry League turned into pure theatre with “Africa: The Funeral” by @ExonumiaAfrica.

Poets mourned the old money system through raw spoken word, symbolism, and funeral imagery… then Bitcoin entered the story as poetic finance — a tool for African creative sovereignty.

Big salute to @440UrPp, @jabulanijakes, @rakgatjane, the @ExonumiaAfrica team, and @WordNSound for pushing culture, art, and financial conversations in a completely different way.

Poetry teaching Bitcoin better than some conferences? 👀

“Poetry doesn’t sell” they say. You can fact-check me on this, ‘they’ really say that! But, I have a terrible habit of not caring about the status quo, and here we are, on our third print run because WE’VE SOLD OUT AGAIN 🥰💃🏾
