Good morning.
Friendly reminder: adoption should be voluntary and Bitcoin only.
Everything else is a distraction.

"A crypto reserve is the path to the dark side. Crypto leads to gambling. Gambling leads to loss. Loss leads to suffering."
Stay focused.
Spend, save and earn sats.

It took less than 20min to move several Bitcoin wallets from old phone to new phone.
Have now been struggling for half a day trying to access a bank account from the new device.
5 phone calls later, I'm still waiting on the line for permission to access my own money.
This system is so broken.

We have some numbers.
At Adopting Bitcoin Cape Town 2025 we hosted total 359 attendees over the course of two days, an increase of almost 70% over our 2024 total of 212 attendees!
STOKED!

We are so early.
People either don't understand it. Or they think it's a scam.
There's a lot of work to be done.

Fellow @Adopting Bitcoin Cape Town co-organizer and one of my favorite Bitcoiners Ricki in a great conversation with Ernst Roets (Afriforum).
Bitcoiners in ZA are doing excellent lobbying work on all sides of the political spectrum.

I just got back from an epic four-week adventure in South Africa, where I not only soaked in the stunning landscapes with my family but also filmed a video series at @Adopting Bitcoin Cape Town for @Connect the World . I had some laid-back, no-BS chats with awesome folks in the Bitcoin & Lightning space about global adoption, the hurdles ahead, and which developments might be game-changers.
The video series includes bitcoiners like:
• Noelyne Sumba – @Noelyne
• Josef Tetek – @Josef Tětek
• Khushboo Khullar – @Khush
• Naomi Wambui @Bitcoin Babies 🍼
• Nathan Day – @Nathan Day
• Jason – @statusquont
• Felix Mukungu – @Felix Mukungu
And many more
If you’re curious to dive into some honest conversations and see the real insights from @Adopting Bitcoin Cape Town, check out the full playlist here: I’d love to hear what you think—let’s keep the conversation going!

I've noticed a major difference between X and Nostr.
People here don't seem too bothered when one talks about spending Bitcoin, in fact, here it seems to be encouraged.
Whereas on X... Holy shit! People get soooo triggered if one just dare mention that sats may be spent.

If people aren't spending Bitcoin at your Bitcoin conference, is it even a Bitcoin conference?
Adopting Bitcoin Cape Town had a total of 356 attendees, including volunteers, staff, organizers, etc.
A total of 490 Bitcoin transactions were made, spending 1 601 729 sats. Thus an average of 1.4 transactions per attendee, spending ~3k sats per tx. Enough for 2 coffees.
Thanks to @@Ricki Allardice for the setup!
More details below.

High level politicians being educated by grassroots projects was a definite highlight of the conference.
"In my life I didn't have hope. But as soon as I started saving in Bitcoin, my savings is what gives me hope. If we don't save ourselves, no one is gonna save us. But if you have some Bitcoin in your hardware wallet, that is the thing that's gonna save your life."
@LuthandoSABTC🇿🇦 - Community Lead at @BitcoinEkasi
"I was very moved by Luthando's talk, I must say ... He opened my eyes to what's going on in Ekasi ... I've learned a lot today. Luthando, thank you for that."
Helen Zille - Chairperson of the Federal Council of the Democratic Alliance (DA), former leader of the DA, former Mayor of Cape Town and former Premier of the Western Cape.

Even if you are specific and name your conference using "Bitcoin" people will still refer to it as a crypto conference.
https://techcentral.co.za/bitcoin-strategic-reserves-helen-zille/258819/
Makes me wonder what we need to do?
Shall we rebrand to 'Adopting Bitcoin (NOT Crypto) Cape Town'?

An interesting new add-on to this year's road-trip (following Adopting Bitcoin Cape Town) was a visit to two primary schools, to see what they're doing with Bitcoin Adoption.
One of those two schools had their entire first rugby team kitted out in a brand-new "STUDY BITCOIN" kit!
As things stand now, Volschenk Primary School will attend the Oakdale and Willie Le Roux Rugby Events, lining up with their new kit, facing thousands of spectators.
All-in-all, in 2025, they will play more than 40 matches against neighboring schools, and some of their opposition teams will be sponsored by large South African banks. It's not uncommon to see Absa, FNB and Standard Bank on the uniforms of schools' sports' teams.
I will definitely attend at least one of those games to see the crowd's response.
If you wanna help this brave team

It's not often that someone is onboarded to Bitcoin and Nostr simultaneously.
@Vukosi Chuck came to film the conference and walked away with a brand new Nostr profile and happy to take half his fees in Bitcoin.
Give him a follow!

As a last minute add-on to our post-conference road-trip, attendees visited @BitcoinLoxion today.
Inspiring fact: Bitcoin Loxion emerged as a result of our inaugural conference, Adopting Bitcoin Cape Town 2024.
Project Founder, Thulisa, attended last year January, and left the 2024 conference with a mission.
A year later, 30 conference attendees visited that same project, building a circular Bitcoin economy in one of South Africa's largest townships, a stone's throw from Cape Town.

Always hugely appreciate the interest people show in coming all this way to learn about our project. And, in this case, despite the pumping wind and rain.
It's a humbling experience. Thank you to everyone that made the post-conference road-trip! Hopefully the sun shows its face for @BitcoinWitsand tomorow !

The @Adopting Bitcoin Cape Town 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 @Machankura 📞⚡ 8333.mobi, the Sparrow Wallet, the newly launched Orange, the Pick n Pay bitcoin integration, or the @BitcoinEkasi SA bitcoin scene should be a major inspiration not just for other African countries
-KG @kgothatso@8333.mobi 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

Do normal people stop to think how ludicrous it is that a platform like X can simply suspend a (verified, paid-for) account, because it "broke the rules", without explaining exactly which rule was broken, and how it was broken, and without warning the account that it had just broken a rule, before just suspendig it, causing major disruption to an event that's been planned months in advance?
Sadly, the answer is probably "No."

Liquid is good for Bitcoin
On the Blink Stage we learn about the many ways that Liquid is a net benefit for Bitcoin, from code and cryptography, to scaling and Bitcoin financialization.

All speakers at Adopting Bitcoin Cape Town get a custom branded NFC card, loaded with enough sats to buy a delicious coffee, at the @Airbtc Barista.
The cards are reusable and can be loaded with more sats, which can be spent at booths around the venue. Made possible thanks to @Blink – The Everyday Bitcoin Wallet!
If people aren't spending sats at your conference, is it really a Bitcoin conference?
