Waiting for the 51% attack and wondering how Ocean pays its bills now that the „BIPcoin“ has no buyers.
Since I have onboarded many people to Aqua and Misty Breez ⚡️ I wrote this article and sent a newsletter about what the temporary disablement of Boltz - Non-Custodial Bitcoin Exchange means and what to do next: https://anita.onl/boltz-disabled
After all the discussions we had about on-chain privacy and the negative effects on the privacy of ALL users when identities are tied to a BTC address you have to put it on the front of the profile? I want to be able to at least opt out of this!!
Bitcoin matters. Even in the bear market it is a working alternative to the current financial system. This is a short excerpt of my latest talk about the faults in our money.
In Zimbabwe, repeated currency changes have wiped out people’s wealth and savings. In this short, I share what I learned from being on the ground and talking to people.
A friend of mine had USD on a Zimbabwean bank account - over night the money was converted to the worthless Zimbabwean Dollar. This is one of the stories that shaped my thinking about money, power, and human freedom. The full talk will be published soon.
Geld auf dem Bankkonto fühlt sich an wie dein Geld. Aber eigentlich ist es nur eine Forderung an die Bank. Dieses Short zeigt einen zentralen Punkt aus meiner Kurzdoku: Ohne finanzielle Privatsphäre stirbt die Demokratie. Die ganze Kurzdoku findest du hier: youtu.be/FIuzx9hCTrI
Zambia is not a safe place for activists, opposition and minorities. We npub1fqqtc58rx9mslpydp9849pmlh4x8f5m8js399aqanlqjg6v6x9lq5qqzch gave a small grant to npub1g0tjelnntr96gmgy8c45grskk4x2am98t052wcfgfxrz5rne3rfqwpf4my to exhibit and offer a Bitcoin workshop at the conference. Some [...]
I am boycotting these conferences too. Main speakers are a lot of government officials and it seems they threw out people with „Free Samourai“ signs. This is not the Bitcoin I advocate for.
They said this community is too poor for bitcoin. That sentence became the reason why Ronnie Mdawida started Afribit Kibera. Today garbage collectors in one of Africa's largest informal settlements prove the opposite. Here's how: www.youtube.com/watch?v=FuTn...
I set up Cowork to build .md files for my blog articles. I wanted it to create the formatting and structure, propose title and meta description. I trained it on 15 of my published articles - it immediately created 5 publishing ready long form articles in 5 min. When I write myself I need 3 [...]
What else needs to happen until the majority of US Americans has enough of this lunacy! Besides war, death, environmental destruction, racism, homophobia, corruption, misogyny…
Crazy, and that on the „free speech platform X“. I am just writing an article about inflationary money on the example of Zimbabwe in recent years (after 2007-2009). Will for sure be published on my website and Nostr and then let’s see.

Made up death of worlds oldest tortoise (194 years!) to scam people for crypto. Learnings: 194 years! And people will scam others with all kinds of stories and it will get worse with AI. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/apr/02/worlds-oldest-tortoise-crypto-death-scam
Today’s headline in #Zimbabwe. „Your USD is very safe“. Whenever the central bank says your money is safe, trust that it’s the opposite. I haven’t seen any ZIG banknotes around, it’s only being used digitally (card payment or EcoCash). I am using USD cash only and everyone’s trust is on [...]
Ronnie Mdawida, founder of npub1djkgnrt4y05htqk7cxztnvqwcuyd3tea0jrxr8z9e6jx0zashskqkq9fhz Kibera in Nairobi, Kenya was our guest in the last Crack the Orange community call. Watch this interesting talk, where he gives tips on how to start and run a circular economy successfully. [...]
3 credit cards. All declined by Anthropic and I don’t know why. Maybe because I am in Zimbabwe? Recently a friends PayPal account was suspended, they are from UK visiting Zimbabwe and wanted to make a payment. Shortly after that other banks asked them for proof of funds otherwise they [...]
Greetings from Zimbabwe, where the price of 1 l petrol has gone up from 1.77 to 2.19 USD over night. The price of this war is being paid by the common people, who never wanted this war.
Convenience is the strongest lock-in mechanism. You sign up for a "free"/"cheap" service because it’s easy. Over time your data, work, contacts, and habits all depend on it. Then leaving becomes almost impossible. Exit options matter. Full video tomorrow.
This poster announcing Women’s Day to demand voting rights was banned by the German Reich in 1914. 112 years later women are still subject to male violence, inequality, dehumanization, all sorts of sexual exploitation, earn less, and are held back by stereotypes of femininity. We have a [...]
