Had the pleasure of meeting Hermann in Prague last year, so cool to actually see what he’s up to down in South Africa
He’s great and yep it’s mind boggling! Bullish on Ekasi
OMG that was so inspiring! I saw you at the BTC South African gig MC ing, which was also great. Feeling a bit jaded by all the EFT crap here in the West, then I saw this and how BTC really is a lifeline for humanity. Thanks also for your excellent warm interview style. Keep up the good work Nakamoto
Thanks for the kind comments man-really appreciate it!
Yes bitcoin is there for those who need it most. And i'll be there to try to document it!
Thank you so much for your work! And I am so impressed of the invention and inventor of Machankura 🧡
Thank you for watching and commenting :D
Thanks for visiting my country hope you had a Blast Joe :)
Loved it and can’t wait to come back!!
Howziet Joe! Fantastic short doc, from a place in my native homeland 🇿🇦 Great to meet u & Sophie at the BTC Conference in MTL, hope to see u in the lineup in Zonte🤙
Beautiful documentary. This is really inspiring.
Thank you so much! If you like this you might like my other mini documentaries. Try the Peru or the other South African one next!
Awesome insight! Thank you for this amazing work Joe, it's making a real difference on the ground.
Cheers Edwin-bullish on the Western Cape!
Again what a legend joe
Just found your channel and like your research and content. It’s surprising that this channel has so few subs as Bitcoin is 15y old now and the retail interest and adoption should be much much bigger???
Carry on with the awesome content.🔥
Sir yes sir!
Amazing content as always Joe.
Appreciate that thank you-i'll keep trucking!
Another fantastic piece of work Joe ❤
Thanks gazza! Glad you enjoyed it
Escrevo em português, pois suponho que você seja cidadão português, certo? Seu trabalho é lindo. Fico orgulhoso de seu trabalho em divulgação do BTC. Parabéns!
Great content Joe… hope you are well!
Obrigado, meu amigo! Eu realmente aprecio isso. Eu moro em Portugal, mas sou apenas um residente :)

Sunshine content, thanks

That looks like the perfect place to go Solar. That would solve their energy problem. 🌞
It's political
Many individual households have gone solar is they can afford it, and some communities are starting initiatives but Eskom is corrupt and solar would affect some pockets.
Now am gonna make effort to get a Jade wallet. Amazing.
👏👏👏
Did I understand you correctly when you said that the satoshi wallet doesn't need so much internet?
Yeah man! I've used it in places with 3G or very low data and it works well. Phoenix and Zeus struggle in these environments. Wallet of Satoshi is a custodial wallet though-they could rug pull!
👍
Yeah, half of world currency on the hands of 10.000 people.
What do you mean by this: is it the top 0.00001% of the world own 50% of the wealth?
@@JoeNakamoto bitcoin distributioin
I have watched many videos, but in none of them do you explain how it works with taxes. You are not the only one. Or do you mean an economy in which there is no VAT or profit tax? My head hurts when I think that I have to guess at what price I bought btc, what difference occurred when I made the transaction...etc
Taxes vary greatly depending on where you live. What I do and how I use bitcoin is different to your use case. Best to work out what the environment is like where you live
Bro how are you doing.. can I have an interview with you, just started a RUclips channel just to stread crypto education to the people
Sure man, what do you have in mind? I'm big on Bitcoin, not very into crypto!
@@JoeNakamoto how can I get hold of you...
Maybe give you my email... Will discuss there..
why your girlfriend doesn't use Lightning?
She does
