I’m Thandi,a Bitcoin advocate,YakiHonne Ambassador and founder of Girl Think Initiative, a girl-centred design program supported by the Women of Satoshi Cooperative. I am a passionate advocate for sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), with a focus on empowering young girls in public primary schools and those who have dropped out of school in Malawi. My work involves partnering with communities to promote education through Bitcoin Edcuation Initiatives, school feeding programs, SRHR sessions, and the provision of essential school materials. I am committed to advancing girls’ right to education, as well as their right to access accurate information, resources, and support related to SRHR.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
