Last Notes npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema Today, I want to share my journey with Bitcoin Dada. I had once applied to Bitcoin Dada hoping to be sponsored for the African Bitcoiners Conference, but I didn’t get picked. I let it go and moved on until one day my husband attended the Mauritius African Bitcoiners Conference and came back with customized Bitcoin Dada books and pens from the event. He told me, “Since this is a women based organization, these belong to you.” In that moment, something in me awakened again. I wanted to learn more, to understand this movement and when I finally got picked for the cohort 10, it truly felt like destiny. The experience has been nothing short of incredible. I have walked through fear, excitement, doubt, and joy all at once while discovering a version of myself I thought I had lost. Bitcoin Dada has given me sisters,women who held my hand, encouraged me, and reminded me to dust myself off, stand tall, and trust who I am becoming. It has exposed me to the real world, teaching me that values must remain intact no matter where I am in life and that even Bitcoin requires self awareness and integrity. This journey has taught me the importance of my mental health. I have learnt that my mental health matters deeply, and it is okay to feel overwhelmed,there is nothing wrong with that. I have also learnt that it is okay when people don’t fully understand my journey,what matters is that I stay true to myself and keep moving forward. I have learnt to just show up,show up even when I don’t fully understand what’s happening in that moment, show up even when I have justifiable excuses, show up simply because I owe it to myself and to my mission. Understanding my emotions has helped me slow down, breathe, and still show up as the best version of myself, even on difficult days. It has taught me how to carry myself with intention, how to build my personal brand, and why Bitcoin matters deeply for women,women who have been silenced, objectified, excluded from financial spaces, dismissed in policy rooms, and denied platforms to speak about their economic realities. Bitcoin, as decentralized money, is a tool that can transform the fate of women who have endured so much for far too long. Bitcoin Dada has given me a confidence that fear can no longer defeat. When fear shows up, I now tell it to sit down and tell it "I have work to do." It has taught me how to position myself in the Bitcoin ecosystem, how to help people believe in the mission, how to present my projects, how to engage with every woman with respect, and most importantly, how to work together as a collective force. This is sisterhood,one that lasts a lifetime. My biggest “aha moment” was being featured on the Bitcoin Dada page on International Women’s Day. It reminded me of the responsibility I carry and the impact I am destined to make. And trust me, I will make more women learn about Bitcoin. I will help women understand themselves, explore opportunities, and use Bitcoin within their own situations. Together, we will rise, learn, and build. If one sister gets tired, we will pull each other forward. Thank you, Bitcoin Dada, for the spirit you have planted in me. This is only the beginning. https://image.nostr.build/75308bc013acb480b76686d2c5fd2581b000ccb6c95d43c4004bef627cb6fff7.jpg npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema It has been such an amazing experience attending the Women of Bitcoin Summit. Listening to different perspectives on Bitcoin has been incredibly eye opening, and one session that really stood out for me was about Bitcoin mining. For a long time, many people have seen mining as something speculative, but one of the speakers explained it in a way that completely shifted my perspective: mining should be seen as infrastructure. Bitcoin mining is a way of creating digital value and security for the network, but it also interacts with the physical world in powerful ways. Companies like Gridless are already showing how this can work in Africa. By partnering with small hydro and other renewable energy projects, they are helping bring electricity to underserved communities while using excess power to mine Bitcoin. In places like Malawi and many other African countries where energy access is still limited, this model can be transformative. One idea that really stayed with me was how mining converts electricity into different layers of value, • Electricity → Security Bitcoin mining turns energy into security for the network by protecting it through proof-of-work. • Flexibility → Resilience Mining is one of the most flexible energy users. Unlike many industries, miners can easily power down when electricity is needed elsewhere, which can actually help stabilize energy systems. • Energy → Trust Through mining, energy is transformed into a globally verifiable monetary network that anyone can rely on. Another powerful point was about the criticism that Bitcoin mining wastes energy. In reality, much of Bitcoin mining uses stranded or wasted energy energy that would otherwise never be used because it is too far from demand centers or produced in excess. Mining can capture that unused energy and convert it into economic value, while also creating open and competitive energy markets. For me, this session reinforced something important: Bitcoin is not just digital money. It is a system that connects energy, technology, and economic freedom in ways that can unlock real opportunities for communities around the world. https://image.nostr.build/0d59b97ca428cebe85b8f5a3dad706df4b89d58cadda26b14ce7688bf8bfd0b6.jpg npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema I couldn't agree more npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema Teaching about Bitcoin is like spreading the gospel bringing the lost sheep back to where they belong. It is about freeing people from chains they have carried for so long, from systems that gave them no hope, stole their time, and wasted their energy. Money should be treated with respect. It is spiritual. It changes lives. It should never be controlled by authorities who put their own interests and emotions above the needs of the people. That is not good money that is a tool of oppression. But now, there is a solution,Bitcoin. A decentralized technology and monetary asset. Censorship resistant. Borderless. Permissionless. A form of money that brings freedom and protects human rights. In many ways,advocating for Bitcoin is advocating for people’s dignity, sovereignty, and financial independence. Malawians, Africans, and people everywhere deserve the power to hold their own non custodial wallets and take full control of their money. npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema Yes it is and thank you npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema Tonight’s class by Stacey Biko of Bitcoin Dada was truly amazing. I have learnt about what I love the most "wallets" because at the end of the day, wallets are all about money, specifically how we access Bitcoin. I learnt about the different types of wallets and what private keys, public keys, and seed phrases really mean. I finally understand the difference between custodial and non custodial wallets. I have learnt that custodial wallets are controlled by a third party or central authority and that custodial wallets are fully controlled by you. You are responsible for everything, and if you lose your seed phrase, you cannot recover your Bitcoin.I have also learnt the importance of backing up and properly storing your private keys and seed phrase. If you don’t keep them safe, you lose access and when they’re gone, your Bitcoin is gone too. Imagine so far Bitcoin equivalent to 140 billion USD has been lost due to one losing the private keys. Another interesting part was learning about multisignature wallets, which require multiple private keys to approve a transaction. This adds an extra layer of security because no single person or device can move the Bitcoin alone.Tonight’s session was truly eye opening, and I’m excited to keep learning! https://image.nostr.build/0b43904386803f02f7dfa95dc782fb3021ae2f5cbd597bff9f501d6186a203e9.jpg npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema 2026 looks so bright and beautiful because of the incredible Bitcoin communities I’ve come across. And among them, Bitcoin Dada Kenya truly deserves deep respect. They have become a real inspiration standing strong for African women and pushing us to dream, think, imagine, and become through Bitcoin education and digital skills. Bitcoin Dada is the motivation every African woman needs today. It carries values, vision, and a deep commitment to shaping not just a moment but generations. There is so much Ubuntu spirit in this sisterhood holding each other up, trusting each other, telling one another, “Sister, get up and change your situation.” Bitcoin Dada says to the African woman, “It is time to open your eyes to this new Bitcoin technology.” “Sister, this is the financial system that can take you out of the mud, out of disappointment, out of constant worry." African women are being empowered in ways we haven’t seen before. And with Bitcoin Dada’s classes, we will never again be the African women people used to underestimate. We will stand tall. We will impact lives. We will let our actions speak louder than words. And above all, we will share this knowledge with more African women, because empowerment grows stronger when it is passed on. Thank you, Bitcoin Dada, for the inspiration, the knowledge, and the empowerment. Backward never. Forward ever. https://image.nostr.build/9621a29da85cfe99f1bfb51238b97f3cda4e23d80e81b6602b8935c4b20eeac9.jpg npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema I really loved how one of the speakers in the Bitcoin Today space ended his remarks. He said he’s finally found a community he belongs to after ten years of feeling misunderstood being told he wasn’t thinking right and even losing relationships along the way. Yet here we are today with Bitcoin,something mathetically and provably sound, something we can stand behind. It reminds us that we need to hold hands, open more eyes, and help people see how long we’ve been oppressed by taxes and inflation. It’s time to say “no more” and choose a better path. npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema In other words you are an artist...hope to learn how to bake and decorate a birthday cake very soon. npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema https://image.nostr.build/6e197f74b34ff4d7e444373a9f17a8899ad6bc6a643c1098a8c99cbe91b2655e.jpg npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema My Journey as a YakiHonne Ambassador As my ambassador role with YakiHonne comes to an end this month, I can confidently say this experience has been nothing short of transformative. Being part of this incredible ecosystem has allowed me to connect, learn, and grow in ways I never imagined. What truly stood out for me was the networking meeting brilliant minds from across the world, exchanging ideas, and understanding how Web3 communities thrive through collaboration. YakiHonne didn’t just give me a platform; it gave me a community, a voice, and meaningful relationships that I will carry forward. I’m grateful for the opportunity to contribute, engage, and represent a project that values connection, innovation, and impact. This role has expanded my perspective, sharpened my skills, and strengthened my passion for building in the decentralized world. So this month end I will walk away inspired, connected, and proud to have been part of this journey. YakiHonne will always remain a meaningful chapter in my Web3 story. npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema Bitcoin was not created to necessarily make anyone rich but it was created because the traditional financial system is broken,corrupt. npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema It was such amazing Bi Weekly YakiHonne meeting today where I got the chance to present about what money is,characteristics of good money and ofcourse the history of money and how is has affected African States. Decentralisation of Bitcoin,censorship resistance,the fixed supply of 21 million Bitcoin was observed that Bitcoin is the solution to the currenct traditional financial systems in Africa and even the whole world at large. npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema In Africa, you cannot talk about human rights without addressing the realities of vulnerable girls living in underserved communities and facing challenges to remain in school. Education is a fundamental right, yet so many girls are still left behind. There is so much more that needs to be done. npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema This picture speaks a million words. I love it. Bitcoin for generations and generations to come npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema Helping Manesi, Gladys and many other girls stay in school this term. Any support for their fees(40 Dollars in total)goes a long way. Let’s keep their dreams alive. 💛 https://image.nostr.build/ca7a87e6e287b218189e8e8e6dd4571b6d5032a7e17e82baf27b62b26ce95d5c.jpg npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema *Ready to turn your content into cash? ⚡️* Join us for the next Yakihonne Bi-Weekly Call where we are breaking down exactly *"How to earn your first $10 on Nostr."* Whether you're a writer, curator, or just curious, this session is the blueprint you need to start stacking.

Our children deserve to understand financial language, money language, and ultimately Bitcoin language. This is the time to introduce small computer labs in all schools so children can learn digital skills early and grow up ready to contribute to open source innovation. There is so much work to be done, and it starts with you and I. npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema Today was such an amazing second day lesson at Bitcoin Dada. Femi a dedicated entrepreneur passionate about changing the world through sound money gave an eye opening presentation on the history of money, especially in the African context. He explained how money has evolved from barter,exchanging oranges for carrots, to commodity money like shells,to gold, to minted coins such as silver and gold, to representative money, and eventually to printed money with no backing. He highlighted how, during the gold era, central authorities held people’s gold and issued receipts. But over time, they began printing more money than the gold they held a system that fully broke in 1971. This shift led to inflation and raised concerns globally. Femi clearly showed how this system has negatively affected African countries: • concentrating power in one central authority that can print money at will, • benefiting the state while impoverishing citizens through inflation, • and limiting African trade, collaboration, and opportunity because of unstable state issued currencies. The solution? Bitcoin. Introduced through the 2008 white paper and brought to life with the first block in 2009, Bitcoin offers: • borderless money, • no central authority, • security through a global network of computers, • open participation for everyone, • resistance to corruption, • and value based on consensus, not manipulation. Bitcoin empowers every human being, anywhere. No permission needed. No gatekeepers. It has truly been an eye opening session. I’m grateful to be part of a community that is reshaping Africa’s understanding of money and building hope through Bitcoin education. 💛🧡⚡ https://image.nostr.build/c6e46fdb84a899914fc3b09dc945ae4f1af8b2f909f7adc068a7ec958a426356.jpg npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema Money is such a sophisticated tool that facilitates communication between two total strangers, speaking different languages but agreeing on value, trade, and exchange. It allows communication between the future and the present. npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema I’m the kind of person who will help as many school dropouts return to class, even when I don’t yet know where the school materials will come from. But somehow, it always works out. They always find their way back. npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema Thank you so much for the response npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema How do I get to campaign for a girl centred design program called Girl Think Initiative where we are bringing back girls to schools in Malawi and is currently under Women of Satoshi Cooperative. We are supporting these girls through their communities by building circular economies,teaching Bitcoin Education and we are also looking for support for building small computer labs in public primary and secondary schools where they can learn about Bitcoin in general and also learn about Bitcoin development. npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema This is amazing. npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema I mean you can't manage to miss this one https://image.nostr.build/f1ece0d894234e1e814b6201b2900e9278559fa71ea846e112b95ce0cafa85d1.jpg npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema Let's look at the state fiduciary currencies,why at the first place are just printed without anything to back them off just like how godsmiths initially did with holding gold and issuing receipts as proof of the gold kept. These fiduciary currencies are ofcourse portable and easy to use but they do not have any intrinsic value hence we are here preaching about Bitcoin. npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema If you study and understand the evolution of money,coming from believing money is an asset,then believing in shells and gemstones,to gold,then paper money,then digital and finally to crypto..you will agree with me that the whole evolution was to end up at Bitcoin. A decentralized store of value that respects time and energy by avoiding inflation at all costs. npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema Let me take this moment to appreciate the Girl Think Initiative’s two dedicated field officers, Mr. Nguluwe (first from the left) and Mr. Milliward (second from the left) who are tirelessly bringing girls back to school. Your commitment to identifying vulnerable girls and supporting our volunteers, all while carrying out your assigned activities selflessly and without compensation, is truly inspiring. You are the kind of men our communities need. This is what real leadership looks like, leadership rooted in the community, carried out by people who understand the realities on the ground and take action where it matters most. God bless you, Mr. Nguluwe and Mr. Milliward, for the amazing work you do. We at Girl Think appreciate you deeply. https://image.nostr.build/c2e1596a4a25e6ceba7d93a776c92ef26597f41c43200cf7dc2a1f6628079f9c.jpg npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema Bitcoin is not just a revolution against traditional financial systems but it is one of the fascinating evolution in human history. So we are spreading awareness about Bitcoin and advocating for a free censorship and decentralized YakiHonne as a social media platform. npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema When people ask me "but how do I get to have this Bitcoin?" I always tell them,"learn what Bitcoin is first and it will surely follow you all the days of your lives." npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema Give a woman or girl Bitcoin knowledge and she will change the whole continent. Today, I want to share how my purpose to bring girls back to school through Bitcoin initiatives and to empower women was reignited this evening, on the 13th of January. That fire began during our very first meeting in the Bitcoin Dada Cohort 10. Listening to Marcel, our founder, speak about how she entered this space and her deep desire to uplift women and bridge the gap reminded me exactly why this mission matters. Her story touched something in me. Tonight, my commitment has been strengthened. I have made a promise to myself, I will not rest until girls and women learn about Bitcoin and use that knowledge to transform their lives for the better. Because when a woman understands Bitcoin, she doesn’t just change her own life she changes her family, her community, and eventually the entire continent. https://image.nostr.build/078a8aa27bf20744d6368371849a9dce93ce6bced34a116e06362fa09bc38b1c.jpg npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema Give a woman or girl Bitcoin knowledge and she will change the whole continent.

Surprisingly, they don’t even want to be mentioned lol! Because of your generosity, girls like Gladys and Manesi have finally gone back to school after spending years at home. This is what impact looks like. May God bless you and enlarge your territory. You are truly changing the world with your kindness and your Ubuntu spirit. npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema I just love this definition about Bitcoin that "Bitcoin is a technological and monetary revolution capable of making us question about our relationship with money and society." npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema Today has truly been an amazing day! I managed to introduce more than 10 new people to the YakiHonne Bi weekly call and ofcourse share my experience of how I landed with this role as a YakiHonne Ambassador, and I believe this is a strong step forward in Bitcoin advocacy and awareness. Platforms like Nostr and YakiHonne are doing incredible work in spreading the message and helping people understand what real money truly is. Through these platforms, people are opening their eyes to the power of Bitcoin money that cannot just be produced out of nowhere, money that protects freedom and empowers the individual. I’m so excited about my role at YakiHonne, and I genuinely believe this is the beginning of even bigger global opportunities. Thank you, YakiHonne. Thank you, Nostr. https://image.nostr.build/d28ed5bc94e576b55c64123bd214f2b56e8967276204c07f834d18509f22485a.jpg npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema Hello YakiHonne Fam,I am so excited to share that I have been finally admitted to Bitcoin Dada Cohort 10.

Please don’t forget to subscribe and like my videos to support Bitcoin education in Malawi and beyond. npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema I think Bitcoin, in other words, is a form of money inspired by Emmanuel Kant’s famous principle: treat others the way you would want them to treat you. In the African context, I would say Bitcoin carries that Ubuntu spirit , a sense of shared dignity, fairness, and humanity. npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema Bitcoin technology that was created from a number of ideas,social movements and philosophies. npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema Bitcoin has brought peace, freedom,dignity and privacy. npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema It has store of value that fiat currency doesn't. npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema Just thinking out loud… For years, opposition leaders in governments, journalists and activists have been killed, silenced, imprisoned, or publicly vindicated simply for voicing their ideas and standing for the truth. But now something has changed. Today, we have decentralized and censorship-resistant platforms—spaces where voices can’t be easily erased, where ideas can survive even when people are targeted. This is more than technology; it’s a shift in power. A chance for ordinary people to speak without fear. A chance to preserve truth in a world that often punishes it. npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema Hello Bitcoin Community, I am kindly reaching out for support to help two girls who previously dropped out of school return to their education. Schools reopened on Monday, yet they are still at home because they lack the basic school materials they need. Any contribution no matter how small would make a meaningful difference. I truly believe in these girls, and I dream that one day they will grow, learn, and even become contributors to the Bitcoin ecosystem. Your support today can change their future. Thank you so much for your generosity. npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema Bitcoin is more than money; it is a whole change of mindset. It is the kind of money that gives real purpose, true freedom, and true dignity. npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema From my experience, if Bitcoin is going to be truly adopted especially here in developing countries,education has to start at the grassroots level. We need Bitcoin awareness and literacy introduced in lower classes, so that children grow up understanding and normalising what Bitcoin is and what it stands for. I believe primary and secondary schools should have Bitcoin developer labs where young people can learn, experiment, and innovate. Circular Bitcoin economies should be encouraged and supported within communities. There is so much work that needs to be done, but the first step is education that is community led, inclusive, and built from the ground up. npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema To everyone on Yakihonne,if you enjoy my Bitcoin content, please follow my YouTube channel and subscribe. Let’s grow this educational journey together! https://image.nostr.build/f30672758413f4e87f0ea1f1ec063ed24a0292fe75930db1b5963d4c816f7460.jpg npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema Thank you so much for the zap pub1tu npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema And thank you so much for the zap..I truly appreciate it. npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema I coudnt agree more...this is so true npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema If you look at the prehistory of Bitcoin,look at the ideas and social movements that existed before it,you will appreciate that Bitcoin Existence,it's inspiration was drawn from "protecting the oppressed". Bitcoin is not just money but it is a solution to the oppressed. npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema Bitcoin is the only form of money whose value is anchored in both technology and philosophy. Its philosophy challenges us to rethink the relationship between money, time, energy, and society. Money cannot simply be paper printed at will. Real money must be scarce, difficult to produce, and carry intrinsic value rooted in transparency, security, and fairness. Bitcoin embodies all of this , a monetary system built on proof of work, individual sovereignty, and decentralized trust. npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema Today I just want to give a big shout to BTrust for the amazing work they are doing in the Bitcoin ecosystem. This is a true reflection of Bitcoin philosophy promoting privacy, freedom, and empowerment through supporting Bitcoin developers. It’s inspiring to see how BTrust is creating opportunities for young people across Africa and beyond, helping them step into open-source development and other meaningful roles. For me, what stands out the most is their accountability and transparency, values that every Bitcoin initiative or entity should embody. Bitcoin is about dignity, sovereignty, and empowering communities and BTrust is living that out. Much respect. npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema In Malawi we are planning to open computer labs at public primary and secondary schools where students can get hands on especially on Bitcoin development. We want to build a society where students learn to become developers even at an early stage. These are some of our Bitcoin initiatives that we can't do on our own. Any amount of money contributed will make a very big difference in teaching these young boys and girls about decentralized money and also social media platforms where they get to realize the true freedom of speech,dignity and ofcourse being empowered financially. npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema https://youtube.com/shorts/HRKH6s19s6o?si=KUnK8AUDqwe3sC0Y npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema If the cypherpunks,David Chum,Wei Dai questioned the role of privacy and freedom in the digital world,who are we not to question it now in 2026? We will not stop till masses understand the importance of decentralization starting with decentralized money to decentralized social media platforms. npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema Thank you so much Corbin npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema We can't also talk about Bitcoin prehistory without mentioning David Chaum,who in the 1980s tried to introduce anonymous electronic money called DigiCash that unfortunately never boomed. npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema So in the 1980s and 1990s a group of people began to question the role of privacy and freedom in the digital world. They thought that cryptography was a tool to protecting individual rights from institutions or governments. This group of people among other series of social movements, is the most and important movement that led to the creation of what we are enjoying now called Bitcoin Technology. npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema Hello,the YakiHonne team usually advertise when there is an opening for a new role. Let's keep in touch. npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema I support several children both girls and boys here in Malawi. Tomorrow they are starting their second term of school. We are grateful that government schools, from primary to secondary, are free. However, we still face challenges in providing essential school materials such as notebooks, textbooks, shoes, and school bags. Any contribution, no matter the amount, will make a meaningful difference in helping these children learn with dignity and confidence. Thank you, and may God bless you as you consider supporting our initiative. npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema I have got two girls, Gladys and Manesi, who are going back to school at Kabudula Secondary School this coming January but cannot afford necessary items because they are from poor families. I need anyone willing to help me with school materials such as books, bags, shoes, and other necessities. Any support will be much appreciated. https://image.nostr.build/b9e25b4691f6c7c857925229a43a5ec4755680a80a1f6c2ad876822ccaa9afc0.jpg https://image.nostr.build/d9c5d8a403b9e56dde30c62b3e73b9a3c559d7257bae676f4b6f90a4b75f92fb.jpg npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema They usually advertise when applications for the ambassador program open. I will definitely share the announcement once they start looking for ambassadors for the month of February. npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema Hello,could you please this one.[email protected] npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema https://youtube.com/shorts/AfC204-a_tw?si=vgMkqHsUNl27V5Jz npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema #note1nav…67dn npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema Very soon I’ll be launching a series of tutorial videos on Bitcoin, Nostr, and YakiHonne across YouTube and TikTok. My goal is to educate, inspire, and empower especially women,young girls,the youth and underserved communities. Stay tuned and be on the lookout for transformative content. npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema This is amazing!! npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema Traditional Finance is already dissapearing little by little. npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema Thank you so much Acil,this is well noted. npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema There is no way governments should talk about freedom of speech encouraging girls,boys, women, men, and the less privileged to speak up without including YakiHonne in that conversation. In this era, real journalism is journalists using decentralized platforms that allow them to reach the masses without censorship. As long as we rely on centralized platforms, we will continue facing the same problem: real voices, real facts, and real freedom being filtered and reshaped to fit existing systems. Decentralization is not just technology; it is liberation. And YakiHonne is leading that path. npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema My LinkedIn Experience & Why I Advocate for YakiHonne I once used LinkedIn as a platform to advocate for sexual and reproductive health for girls, which is part of my mission to promote girl child education. I started small with only one follower but within a short period, my network grew to over 200 people. I was connecting, networking, sharing ideas, and building a community. Then one day everything changed. When I tried logging in to post, I was met with a notification saying I needed two way verification. In simple terms my account had been hacked. I reported the issue and was told to submit identification like a passport or national ID. I submitted my national ID since my passport had issues, but it wasn’t recognized. They gave me another option: go to a lawyer and get an official confirmation letter. I paid for it, hoping this would help me regain access. But even after doing everything required, my account was still not accepted. Just like that, I was banned from LinkedIn locked out of my work, my voice, and my community. This experience is one of the major reasons I strongly advocate for YakiHonne. A platform built on the Nostr protocol. A platform with no KYC, no central authority, and no censorship. A platform where your voice truly belongs to you. YakiHonne represents digital freedom the kind of freedom many of us in Africa have long been denied on traditional social media platforms. And as someone who fights for girls’ education, empowerment, and community voices, I believe we deserve platforms where we are not silenced or controlled. This is why I will continue to advocate for YakiHonne until more people realize that the future of communication, community, and freedom is decentralized. npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema We can’t run away from the fact that YakiHonne is the perfect social media platform for building strong and vibrant Bitcoin communities in 2026. npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema 2026 is the year to build, advocate, and go further than ever for Bitcoin, for Nostr, and most importantly for YakiHonne. A year to amplify a social media platform that stands for freedom, a space without censorship where every voice matters. 2026 is the year we bring YakiHonne to the people even the most underserved in rural areas. A year to show the oppressed that they have a place to speak. A year to empower young girls,young boys,women,men to share their stories, highlight their struggles, and receive the support they deserve. 2026 is the year YakiHonne unlocks opportunities in Bitcoin and media. A year for the youth to realize they can create their own jobs, produce meaningful content, and earn zaps for the value they bring. A year to show that empowerment is possible when people have the right tools. 2026 is the year we introduce YakiHonne to the majority and by the end of it, everyone, everywhere, will be talking about it. npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema A happy new year to you too npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema Happy New Year YakiHonne Family! 🎉✨ As we step into 2026, I want to take a moment to wish each one of you a year filled with growth, knowledge, freedom, and meaningful connections. I am honored to join this amazing community as one of the new YakiHonne Ambassadors, and I am truly grateful for the trust and support. YakiHonne is not just a platform, it is a powerful movement built on Bitcoin, Nostr, and the spirit of open communication. This year, let’s continue to use our voices, share our stories, and support each other through learning, zapping, collaboration, and honest conversations. I encourage everyone to stay active, engage with different posts, follow new creators, and network across countries and communities. The more we interact, the stronger and more vibrant this space becomes. I look forward to learning from all of you, helping onboard new users, and building a space where every voice has value. Let’s make 2026 a year of impact, growth, and unstoppable freedom! Happy New Year, and cheers to a powerful year ahead! 🎊⚡💛 npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema Super excited to share that I’ve been chosen as a Yakihonne Ambassador for January! 🎉 This means so much to me, especially as I keep pushing forward in the Bitcoin space. I’m overflowing with joy and ready to represent, learn, and make an impact! https://image.nostr.build/17a55cfc9bcf783c10cfddc1527b45e854971cf3b18744e6c6704b1fb9ea6526.jpg npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema Freedom of speech is no longer fully expressed on Twitter or Facebook, where people can be reported, hacked, or even banned. Freedom of speech is on Nostr specifically on YakiHonne. And freedom of peer to peer exchange is on Nostr as well, especially through Mostr. We are living in a decentralized era. npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema AI and the internet don’t understand the dollar language, but they understand Bitcoin. Buy Bitcoin now because this is the future currency. npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema CALL FOR HELP: Water, Sanitation & Hygiene Support for Flood Affected Families in Malawi Malawi has been severely hit by floods in many districts, leaving thousands of families in crisis. Homes have been washed away, communities displaced, and tragically, cholera outbreaks are rising due to unsafe water and poor sanitation conditions. We are urgently appealing for support to help affected families rebuild pit latrines, restore safe water and hygiene facilities, and provide WASH (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene) awareness to prevent further disease outbreaks. Your help no matter how small can save lives. Every contribution goes directly toward: Reconstructing family pit latrines Providing clean water and hygiene supplies Supporting affected households with WASH education Restoring dignity and safety in devastated communities Any amount is enough. Together, we can help families rebuild and protect their health. Thank you for standing with Malawi during this difficult time. npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema This is powerful...there are some battles indeed that are not worth fighting. npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema Hello peace,hello joy,hello strength,hello freedom of speech,hello Nostr Protocol,hello yakiHonne,hello mostr,it's a new horizon npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema #naddr1qq…jx9s npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema This is a well written article,with a lot of insights. Thank you for sharing this. As of me,I will keep on building and talk less. npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema URGENT SUPPORT NEEDED FOR GLADYS Gladys is starting school this January 5th, and she needs our help to begin her journey with confidence and dignity. Just like many other girls we support, she requires textbooks, a school bag, school uniforms, and basic food supplies to sustain her while she studies. Your donation big or small can change her story. Donate today and make a difference in Gladys’ life. Together, we can keep girls in school and give them hope for a brighter future. 💛📚 https://image.nostr.build/f2d154286e7d06c0a107a7f240eedb59e4b3ebc36b13c8d2c40e57ea5b3d9b35.jpg npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema Menstrual cycle is a natural and gradual monthly process in a girl’s reproductive system that prepares the body for pregnancy. When a girl begins menstruation, she needs proper guidance at home, in school, and within the community. She must learn about her body, her health, and healthy relationships. Talking about menstruation is no longer a taboo, but a basic human right. When we break the silence around menstrual health, we give girls the knowledge and confidence they need. This is one of the most powerful ways to reduce early pregnancies, especially in rural communities across Malawi. Girl Think Initiative is committed to this mission. We are working to support girls, particularly in the T/A Kabudula area, to stay in school, avoid early pregnancies, and grow into responsible, empowered leaders. Support Girl Think Initiative in any way you can ,together we can protect the future of Malawian girls and build stronger, healthier communities. npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema Why Yakihonne? Yakihonne was built on nostr protocol to stop data harvesting,privacy violations. It is a solution to digital freedom,respect of human rights and ofcourse empowering communities to own their own spaces without any censorship,a company that controls their data or any moderators that can silence and delete people's accounts. Yakihonne is the new freedom of speech. npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema People have awakened. They have realised the importance of Web3 a world with no censorship, no central authority controlling your voice, and no company owning your data. Little by little, the old platforms will fade out because their restrictive policies no longer serve the people. The future belongs to decentralized platforms that respect freedom, privacy, and human dignity. npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema I already see a brighter future for YakiHonne in 2026. I see the future of Bitcoin as a tool that will transform girls’ and women’s empowerment programs. Through Women of Satoshi and the Girl Think Initiative, we are spreading awareness and educating communities about their human rights especially sexual and reproductive health, an area where many girls have suffered and turned into miserable women due to lack of knowledge and protection. Bitcoin is changing lives in Malawi and across the world. And we are committed to making sure women and girls are not left behind in this global transformation. npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema Freedom of speech is the right to express one’s opinions openly on free, non centralized platforms without fear of censorship, silencing, or control. npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema YakiHonne and other Nostr apps are the platforms young people need to freely speak about issues that truly matter to them.These are platforms that promote and protect human rights, making them ideal spaces for anyone who genuinely cares about people and their voices. They allow activists and advocates to express their opinions freely, without fear of accounts being hacked, silenced, or terminated.These are the true platforms that respect freedom of speech. We will continue to spread awareness until multitudes of people hear and experience the beauty of YakiHonne. npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema YakiHonne is one of the applications built on the Nostr protocol, serving as a powerful tool for realizing true freedom of speech and upholding human rights especially for those who have been silenced. It is the right platform to speak openly about gender based violence, gender equality, and broader developmental issues such as women’s empowerment, girls’ education, and access to water, sanitation, and hygiene. npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema Therefore Bitcoin is the only transparent and verifiable money that also preserves users' savings by strictly limiting its supply. npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema Bitcoin’s fixed supply of only 21 million coins and its predictable distribution protect it from the inflationary risks that affect other currencies. npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema You are very right npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema https://image.nostr.build/948644db5c935797661cfead0688c14386644878901c9d40a1c80d004cf666ae.jpg npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema Bitcoin will avoid hyperinflation that has ever happened in History due to fiat currencies that are centralized and controlled with greedy. For example in Germany in the 1920s,and then in hungary around 1940s and again in zimbambwe which led to dissolving the zimbawean dollar and instead started using other currencies, causing people to lose savings,pensions in bank accounts. npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema With the way things have deteriorated. starting with broken economic systems, widespread government corruption, and continuous violations of human rights it is fair to say we have found new hope in Nostr and Bitcoin. Being decentralized and censorship-resistant, they protect people’s dignity, freedom, and sovereignty. That is all we want. npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema We advocate for Bitcoin in Malawi and beyond, using education and adoption to drive real change. Your donation supports programs that empower women and girls to know their human rights and achieve financial freedom.Donate today and be part of this great Bitcoin initiatives. npub1daxxnzt0uxxkhhtfyszekxat2ewv8xntpc4advy3ztsl86fujeespc8rln thandimtema In Malawi, Bitcoin initiatives by Women of Satoshi focus on building a circular economy and connecting women who have been burdened by traditional financial systems. Through these initiatives, women learn different skills by forming cooperatives, empowering them to achieve financial independence. https://image.nostr.build/b4ac7851fbd1f89c9269fd7649dfe7c3a73b0fe3b226a6477de9493a92eea522.jpg
