The Adopting Bitcoin Cape Town Conference (npub1p0x…deeh) just concluded. My highlights:
-South Africa in my eyes is the real Bitcoin Country. It’s a unique blend of a failed state where public goods are increasingly provided by private institutions, and super high human capital; SAers simply don’t give up but rather find way to make stuff work. That’s why we see unique bitcoin solutions like 8333.mobi (npub1nv4…x0gr), the Sparrow Wallet, the newly launched Orange, the Pick n Pay bitcoin integration, or the bitcoinekasi (npub1zkr…k6ec); SA bitcoin scene should be a major inspiration not just for other African countries
-KG kgothatso (npub1773…esjt) as always killed it on stage; his comparison of the bitcoin movement with early hip hop scene was spot on; bitcoiners should take extra care to set up for major success so that it doesn’t destroy them (sadly the hip hop history is full of early deaths of major talents)
-speaking of HH, I was super happy to meet manlikekweks (npub1fnn…4xnx); we definitely need high-energy bitcoin artists like Kweks 🤙🔥;happy to hear he’s diving in full time now
-honored that we (Trezor) sponsored the conf this year
-Vexl getting a lot of interest, I think we’ll see a boom in local p2p bitcoin across Africa this year
-met amazing bitcoiners from the continent, Trezor Academy will expand soon!
