#SPDN nosihle@blink.sv btcmap.org/merchant/58 Today our community lead @LuthandoSABTC took the ward councillor to the first shop that’s been accepting Bitcoin since 2021 to make a payment. If you want a community to believe in Bitcoin, start by engaging its leaders, so they understand and can share that this is real money, just digital.

Our 2 Western Cape Grommet Games champions, side by side 🏅🥇 Super proud of Phumlisa for taking the U8 win, and Yusrah from Plettenberg Bay for winning the U10 Girls division — flying the Eden Surf Riders flag high! 🏄‍♂️🔥 Big shoutout to @the_surfer_kids , Born In Africa , and Adopt A Surfer — organizations doing incredible work on the ground in their communities.

Well done to everyone involved — the future is bright! 🌊🏆

#SPEDN mosselbaygas@blink.sv btcmap.org/merchant/21590 How cool is this ⚡️ We’re buying gas using Bitcoin. In our circular economy, you can live on Bitcoin, earning, saving, and spending it on almost everything.

Super proud moment for The Surfer Kids! 🏄‍♂️🌊 A huge congratulations to Phumlisa, who was crowned Western Cape Grommet Games U8 Boys Champion , and to Lihle for an incredible 2nd place finish in the U16 Boys Final. 🏆🔥 Months of preparation, dedication, and hard work have truly paid off for these two groms. Watching them grow and perform in the water is something special. It’s always amazing to be at the Grommet Games alongside the Eden Surf Riders Association Grom Team – the support, energy, and gees on the beach is something beautiful to witness. 🙌 So proud of every single child who took part and gave it their all. The future of surfing is bright! 🌊✨ #GrommetGames #Surfing #FutureChampions #SurfGroms #WesternCapeSurfingedenSurfRiders

More than a triathlete. Akhona is working with the young surfers from The Surfer Kids program as they prepare for their upcoming grom competition in Cape Town. The Bitcoin community supports Akhona’s journey as an athlete, and that support flows back into the next generation.

#SPEDN ⚡️trebla@blink.sv btcmap.org/merchant/34059 At the recent @the_surfer_kids Surf Series Comp at the Point, we distributed 35 NFC @bolt_card to showcase fast and simple Bitcoin payments. Surfers and spectators could tap a card and pay instantly using the Lightning Network. Out of the 35 cards handed out, 20 were used for real transactions during the event. For many people, it was their first time spending Bitcoin with a tap. The system ran on our @BtcpayServer, operated by @SluSlami and @bonganithebe518, keeping payments self-custodial and open source. This setup let new users experience Bitcoin payments without downloading a wallet or scanning QR codes, making onboarding smooth during a busy event. A great example of Bitcoin working at a community event. Set up your own Bolt Card system: bitcoinekasi.com/nfc/ @bolt_card ⚡️

Early morning magic at the Surfer Kids Surf Series competition 🌅🏄‍♂️ The kids couldn’t wait for the first heat and were already in the water at 06:30 AM with perfect offshore winds and a beautiful sunrise. Lithabo Mthetho scored this beautiful wave right in between the crowd and surfed it perfectly. What a way to start the day! 🌊🔥
