That’s only part of the crew too! We threw a thank you (American style pizza) party for the surf coaches for being so good to our kids, so you don’t see a lot of the more Bitcoin oriented crew there. Make no mistake though, some of those younger surf coaches are also now on a trajectory to be big players on both sides of the organization.

The land of funk!

Ok, I’ll give it one more try!

Sorry. I might try to post again soon. It looks like the way you made that comment worked. If you think it’s worth the read, I’d be supportive of you sharing it as a post. I’ll zap back what people had zapped on this one.

Here’s the text of their note. Don’t worry, I’m planning on sharing a bunch of my experiences here. I’ll be back home (at least for a while) soon and need to process quite a bit.

For the past three months nostr:nprofile1qyfhwumn8ghj7ctnw3exzmpwde5ku6np9uq3wamnwvaz7tmpw3kxzuewdehhxarj9ekxzmny9uqzp6tgu593w7sqn67e07sgsy7dd7ud3sa4qkwwpdh0pvwmzhdj4qp6yunr75 and his family volunteered with us.

They came all the way from Ohio, USA, to join our work in Mossel Bay, South Africa, and saw up close both the challenges and the progress happening in our community.

They supported our youth programs on a daily basis, helping kids build real skills through Bitcoin-based financial education and related projects.

They also spent time with local merchants and witnessed how circulating hard money is strengthening small businesses in the township.

Their observations reinforced what we see every day: consistent, grassroots work creates meaningful change.

We highly appreciate their time, effort, and the perspective they brought to our project.

Thank you Jason and family!!!

Oh wait, is there any evidence it actually works? I know I’m not gonna try it. Haha

It’s certainly less mean spirited than a lot of the other stuff I’ve noticed, and actually pretty convincing practical social commentary.

OG definitely meant something way different when I was younger. But in Bitcoin, I’m just referring to people that have been into it longer than me. Good to know the real OGs stand strong.

Yeah, thanks again. A lot to chew on here…including things that once made total sense to me, yet the debate has kind of got me to forget.

Thanks for this. I’m tracking. I’m still not tracking enough to update to core 30 yet, but enough to shut up and listen again for a while.

Gotta admit, after reading that whole linked comment, I still have no clue what utreexo is. Was I supposed to read the medium link in there? Is there a utreexo for dummies guide?

Yeah, I mean that’s the general consensus. But what if they’re disillusioned because plebs can’t run nodes anymore or the attack surface is bigger because offensive stuff is on the blockchain or they themselves are offended by stuff they don’t want to host? Thats my alternative theory. Don't know if its true, just cant help but think these are some possibilities.

Ah.

Isn’t @DarthCoin actively encouraging this? It’s obviously not my style, but how is it gaming the system? Seems like a legit approach to me, although I may just be missing something.
