Our Wednesday African Bitcoiner Star ⭐️ this week is @MasterGuantai , founder of @BitcoinMtaani a grassroot movement, taking Bitcoin education to the streets of Kenya🇰🇪.
It was an honor to articulate why #Bitcoin NOT crypto & if given a 2nd chance will still as ALWAYS win.
Myself & @BrindonMwiine vs anyone @KBCC_01 2025.
LFG…. #HapaNiKaziTu
“sats” is definitely the wrong term and is stopping everyday people from acquiring and spending bitcoin.
i agree with @moneyball’s points in this video:

April 26th marked the 1st official hire for the #Bitcoin#Matatu
Carol hired the van for her Birthday & we had a great trip to #Namanga#Tanzania
DM for custom Safari / Tours & enjoy a Sats prefered experience in East Africa with @MasterGuantai as your guide.
This is a great idea @Bitnob_official to introduce #Youth to the #Bitcoin standard while they focus on Tec projects that they are passionate about.
Will make sure to share widely in #Kenya
