Isn't it cool? 😎
Whatever happened to my
#bitcoin
savings challenge that I started in January 1, 2022?
Well, I kept stacking everyday until this very moment (December 31, 2023) and this is what happened.
I’m going to keep stacking in 2024. Will you?

I'm tired of the "Africans are poor" narrative. The next time someone says that remind them that we're rich in natural resources, human capital, talent, resilience, and ingenuity.
Poverty consciousness was a tool that was used to keep Africa stagnant.
Just saying.
Someone told me yesterday that to withdraw N20,000, they had to pay N3,000. Money is being sold for money right now.
This is the best time to use

It's literally almost 6am in the Philippines and my mom is still orange-pilling.
Never did I imagine I'd witness my mom talk about
#bitcoin
this much. I'm so proud. 🧡
It was awesome meeting this star! Samara (
@SamaraOsae
) is a media personality. I felt so happy and inspired watching her interview great bitcoiners for her YouTube channel.
I believe she'll do great things in the
#bitcoin
space.
Let's support her work. 🧡
Dear
#Bitcoin
Twitter,
Do you know anyone who earns bitcoin for their goods and services?
Working on an article about what it's like to earn bitcoin for a living.
Please RT
The international spending limit on naira debit cards were dropped from $100 to $20.
Now Nigerians who either want to buy things from abroad or are abroad and depend on their naira debit cards for payments are only restricted to $20.
#Bitcoin
solves this problem.
My nephew is taekwondo athlete who represented Philippines at the Olympics. And I got him to download his first

Big thanks to the Bitnob team for supporting me in channeling my focus on communities as I start my new journey with Fedi.
Had my first official gaming live stream on Nostr yesterday and I still feel so high from the experience.
Here's why I think streaming on Nostr is great for gamers

The biggest flex is being able to easily send money between my 2 countries within seconds.⚡️
Sent money from Nigeria🇳🇬 to the Philippines🇵🇭 and then it was withdrawn via G-Cash.
Used my Bitnob app (
@bitnob_official
) and sent it to my cousin's Pouch app (
@Pouch_PH
). Super cool!
This is the most exciting thing ever! Thank you so much! 🧡
I’m so proud of the African Bitcoin projects, educators and builders who have come up and evolved this year. Can’t wait to meet and support more.

My heart overflows with joy watching the sewing classes taking place at the
@Btchubafrica
in Uganda.
While the students here learn new skills to empower themselves, they also receive
#Bitcoin
education.
The Bitcoin Innovation Hub have classes on sewing, art and so much more.
I had such an amazing time at the

in Boracay. I met awesome bitcoiners and learned so much from the other speakers. Can't wait to see you guys again!
Thank you

for the awesome experience.
Thank you so much for showing the power of

@mary_imasuen
I owe you a drink, either digitally or in person when I see you IRL.
Mabuhay from Boracay!
I don't think I'll be able to get over this. I still can't believe I just interviewed
@thecryptoc0up1e
and
@WalkerAmerica
.
As a
#Bitcoin
content creator, I look up to them. They inspire me so much. It feel so surreal that I got to speak to them. They're sooooo cool!
Super curious: if you're to write your will and you want to will your
#bitcoin
to your family (or whoever), does that mean you have to put your seed phrases in your will? How safe is that?
Some time ago, I did a video on "How to play
#bitcoin
games in the Philippines 🇵🇭" where I shared the steps to get started.
Apps I mentioned:

If you have any Filipino friends, feel free to share.
Dear creators, educators, designers, and other non-technical people in the bitcoin space,
When we say the "bear market is for building", you are included too. Building isn't just for the devs. You might be non-technical but your role in the space is priceless.
Just saying.
Guess what? We met this wonderful driver in Bali and she just got her lightning wallet. This is the beginning of her
#bitcoin
journey.
Show her some love with some sats. If you're in Bali and need a driver let me know and I'll send you her contact 🧡 100% recommend her.
Ever seen a

This is the most entertaining and educational cartoon I've ever watched! And I'm not even a kid 😂
If you want to teach your kids about
#bitcoin
in a way that's fun and easy to understand, I highly recommend this cartoon.
Don't believe me? Just watch the cartoon for yourself.
Happy Africa Bitcoin Day 🧡
Huge shoutout to all the bitcoiners in Africa who are orange pilling their communities so more people in Africa know about bitcoin.
Can we bring
#bitcoin
adoption to Baguio, Philippines? It's also a tourist spot like Boracay in Philippines.
What would it take to bring bitcoin adoption there? Please let me know.
I've decided to organize the first Nigerian bitcoin meetup in Lagos and then expand to other states.
These are the reasons why I want to set up bitcoin meetups in Nigeria 👇

After what seems like ages, I've finally found a picture to replace the old display picture. Here's to another year or so before I decide to change it again. 🍻

🚨NEW GUEST LECTURE🚨
Bitcoin Adoption in Nigeria with Mary Imasuen
@mary_imasuen
discusses
#bitcoin
adoption in Nigeria, the new Naira that is being ushered into Nigeria, and the kleptocracy of fiat money across Africa.
I had an awesome live stream on Twitch. 🥳
I set up Zebedee streamer and I was tipped a total of 16000 sats which is 3440.41 naira. I was able to withdraw it from Zebedee to Bitnob thanks to the Zebedee-Bitnob partnership and I have access to it in my local currency.

I had such an awesome time in the Philippines. It was great to see the breathtaking sights, visiting my mom’s hometown, and meeting relatives.
The incredible thing is that I got to experience
#Bitcoin
adoption in the Philippines and the eagerness of the people to learn about it
I'm putting together a list of
#bitcoin
locations that plebs can visit. These are places you can use bitcoin (islands, restaurants, education centers, etc)
Reply below with locations that weren't mentioned and I'll update the list.
Please RT. 🧡
I’m extremely sad today. I heard devastating news that a bitcoin gamer passed away.
A lot of people — even those in the bitcoin space — know little or nothing about the world of bitcoin gaming.
I guess that’s why the loss of

hurts so much. Only few people who have

I feel so emotional right now.
To send money to the Philippines my mom used to wrap cash in carbon paper and place it in an envelope between a bunch of photographs so that the money wouldn't be detected by the post office.
Now we're able to send money in seconds with

Thank you for creating StreamSats and making it possible for me to share sats on my livestreams with the gaming community 🧡
I found this beautiful piece of art at the

Yes, they do art classes too and they are taught about

Support the artist with sats 🧡

This is huge🧡
Was just on tv talking about bitcoin gaming and the Zebedee-Bitnob partnership and the opportunities for Africa.
It was super short but I’m so happy that I got to talk about what I love 🧡
It feels so surreal. 🤩
The Philippines is ahead in
#bitcoin
education in universities.
Every question requires you to have a deep understanding of bitcoin and its application in relation to where you live.
I think this is the kind of depth that's expected of us as bitcoiners
Hosting a
#Bitcoin
meetup in Lagos, Nigeria in September.
Let me know if you want to attend.
I’ll share the date of the meetup in the coming days.
Please RT so more people get to see this.
Let me show you how early we are in the
#bitcoin
space. Stacked sats playing a bitcoin game by
@THNDRGAMES
and making this tweet using
@TweetoshiApp
which allows me to stack sats as I use Twitter. Bitcoin gives us value for time spent. Few people know this. We're early. ⚡
The most underrated
#bitcoin
resource out there has to be the recorded sessions from bitcoin conferences.
If you want to learn more about bitcoin especially as it applies in certain areas, go watch the replay of the live recordings of any bitcoin conference.
Thank me later.
Did yoga at a yoga studio for the first time in Bali. The yogi was so nice and patient that I had to take a picture.

If perchance you're thinking of a way to do something cool with lightning that doesn't involve building another wallet or exchange, why not look into creating your own bitcoin games?
Allow me to riff for a while in this thread 🧵
