    Just to make one thing clear. We are working to create a #Bitcoin economy in a #township in #SouthAfrica using the #LightningNetwork. NOT a #crypto economy. We are not interested in alternative crypto currencies and consider these an unnecessary distraction.

    A friend of our project is working on something exciting! #AirBTC - like AirBNB, but 100% #Bitcoin only! Before the website goes live they're looking for people to help test. If you're keen, leave a comment. They'll reach out to you. Make sure you're DM's are open.

    #Bitcoin was created by someone who wanted to do something good for the world. Crypto was created by people who saw that, and figured they could get rich quick by copying it and selling it as something else.

    It took a while, but once I grasped the significance of #Bitcoin and what it's trying to accomplish, other crypto projects quickly paled in comparison. Sure, a permissionless appstore sounds cool. But a borderless money that cannot be stopped or co-opted? That's a paradigm shift.
