Last Notes npub1zkr064avsxmxzaasppamps86ge0npwvft9yu3ymgxmk9umx3xyeq9sk6ec bitcoinekasi I think someone is trying to tell us something. npub1zkr064avsxmxzaasppamps86ge0npwvft9yu3ymgxmk9umx3xyeq9sk6ec bitcoinekasi The South African government wants to regulate independent podcasts. npub1zkr064avsxmxzaasppamps86ge0npwvft9yu3ymgxmk9umx3xyeq9sk6ec bitcoinekasi It's more than just a little ironic that the software that runs the open source decentralized Bitcoin network lives on a completely centralized closed source platform. npub1zkr064avsxmxzaasppamps86ge0npwvft9yu3ymgxmk9umx3xyeq9sk6ec bitcoinekasi The kids are sooo amped to surf!!! npub1zkr064avsxmxzaasppamps86ge0npwvft9yu3ymgxmk9umx3xyeq9sk6ec bitcoinekasi The Garden Route in South Africa, a 300km stretch of unspoilt coastline, is slowly (or quickly, depending how you look at it) turning to Bitcoin. npub1zkr064avsxmxzaasppamps86ge0npwvft9yu3ymgxmk9umx3xyeq9sk6ec bitcoinekasi Would you believe me if I told you this kid is only 6 years old? npub1zkr064avsxmxzaasppamps86ge0npwvft9yu3ymgxmk9umx3xyeq9sk6ec bitcoinekasi Watch as Project Community Lead @nprofile…srel explains the new arrangement with painted shack owners, each receiving 7,000 sats a week. npub1zkr064avsxmxzaasppamps86ge0npwvft9yu3ymgxmk9umx3xyeq9sk6ec bitcoinekasi hello from south africa!! these guys can dance!! npub1zkr064avsxmxzaasppamps86ge0npwvft9yu3ymgxmk9umx3xyeq9sk6ec bitcoinekasi A powerful new documentary is in the making: npub1zkr064avsxmxzaasppamps86ge0npwvft9yu3ymgxmk9umx3xyeq9sk6ec bitcoinekasi There's a future world champ among these kids.
