[My First Bitcoin @MyFirstBitcoin_]

🎬 OUR NEW DOCUMENTARY IS OUT NOW!
🇮🇩 Can Bitcoin Survive in the World's Largest Muslim Country?

🍿 23 minutes. Full documentary. Right here on X. Enjoy!

In Indonesia, you can own Bitcoin, but you can't legally spend it. From the fascinating history of money and the debate over whether Bitcoin is halal or haram to a grassroots education movement connecting 40+ communities across the country.

This is a story about courage, education, and the people building a different future.

Thanks for directing this beautiful movie @thekylehuber and huge thanks to @Silatoshi_id for organizing the entire trip and introducing us to the builders and educators.

@moneyacademyKE Not your keys, not your coins. Now will people listen?

[BTCPay Server @BtcpayServer]

🚨 We are receiving reports of hot wallets on BTCPay Servers being swept by unauthorized attackers.

If you're running an instance, please shut it down (./btcpay-down.sh) until we complete the investigation.

Not you (car) keys, not your coins.

Gold can be made in a lab.
Can't do that with bitcoin. Only 21M.

@tando_me Louder for people in the back 🔊

[Vee's Connect @veesconnect]

A social media account has one owner deciding what gets printed. Wikipedia is edited by thousands, and a change only sticks if the community agrees.

Bitcoin's ledger works like the second one, for money.

[Vee's Connect @veesconnect]

Something that cost KES 100 in 1960 costs roughly KES 28,385 today. 📉

If your salary feels smaller even though the number has not changed, you are not bad with money.

[Vee's Connect @veesconnect]

@tando_me @africablockfest Duuh, ain't no other better way to do it! Than to spend your sats with tando! 🧡

[Vee's Connect @veesconnect]

I used to think Bitcoin was about buying low and selling high. That was the whole story, as far as I knew.

Then I joined @btc_dada and it got much bigger. Underneath the price charts and keeping my money's value, there were people, ideas, and a lot of opportunity I discovered.

[Bitcoin DADA @btc_dada]

What is your Bitcoin Dada story? 🧡🟠

Meet @veesconnect , a Bitcoin Dada alumna who went from thinking Bitcoin was simply about buying low and selling high to discovering an entire ecosystem of stories, ideas and opportunities.

Today, she’s using her voice in the media to tell Bitcoin stories, share knowledge and help others understand Bitcoin beyond the price charts.

And that’s what makes stories like Vera’s so powerful. Sometimes, all it takes is the right learning environment to change how you see something — and what you believe you can do with that knowledge.

Bitcoin Dada is about more than learning what Bitcoin is. It’s about building the confidence to participate, find your voice and make your own mark in the ecosystem.

Vera’s journey is one of many stories still unfolding within the Dada Tribe. 🧡

Now we want to hear from you: What would you like to learn about Bitcoin, or what would you hope to do with that knowledge?

Tell us in the comments. We’re listening. 👀🟠

@tando_me Moral of the story 😂😂

[Vee's Connect @veesconnect]

A king in West Africa once said he trusted seashells more than gold. He was not tripping; that currency held its value for 700 years. Until it did not. 🐚

Before we talk about Bitcoin, we need to talk about why money has never actually been "fixed."

[Vee's Connect @veesconnect]

@tando_me @NodeNBO Definitely working on an episode or a think piece on on Why does everyone wait on others with all the tools available at our disposal? Stay tuned 😊

[Vee's Connect @veesconnect]

I'm starting something new. 👀

VeesConnect! A space where we figure out complicated stuff like tech, AI, money, etc. (starting with Bitcoin) out loud, together.

Comment on the one thing about Bitcoin that has always confused you; I'm building the next few episodes around it

[Tando @tando_me]

@vera_wuor @NodeNBO Failure is a badge of honor. Proof of trying! All successful business owners have "failed". All of them. So hurry up and get the failures out of the way and gain the knowledge necessary to prevent future failures, and pave the way for success. 😃

[Vee's Connect @veesconnect]

@tando_me @NodeNBO You are right, the tools are there. 💯 I think it often comes down to not understanding the tools or fear of failure. At VeesConnect, we are taking those confusing tools and problems and turning them into conversations and solutions.

I appreciate the encouragement! 😁

[Tando @tando_me]
