TrustReserve

On the way back to Cape Town yesterday I took the family to Bitcoin Ekasi in Mossel Bay. It is a poor community that is being completely revitalised with the power of Bitcoin. The Ekasi Center is a tiny 3 roomed dwelling, they have 3 small Bitcoin miners humming away, they have a lightning vending machine where you deposit coins and get Bitcoin. One room where they run their own lightning nodes for the community. They have a small thrift shop where the community can buy clothes for as little as R1, up to R15 for branded items. The neighbourhood was extremely clean, but you can see the poverty there. There were a few pigs running around. There are around 15 shops all accepting bitcoin lightning. I actually had tears in my ears when I could see first hand what bitcoin is going to do for this world. I know I’ll be in this industry for life. Herman you are an amazing man what you have set up there and can’t wait to see you at Adopting Bitcoin in a few weeks. Get tickets: https://lnkd.in/dDBv5J2i I challenge everyone to pop in there and buy some food and treats for the community and make a donation to them. You’ll need some sats, use Satoshi Wallet. I had many questions from my children afterwards, great life lesson. Will be popping in again in April.
