Ethiopia built Africa's biggest dam. Then it sold a lot of that power to Bitcoin miners. This September, reservoir inflows dropped 20%, and miners were cut to 23% of contracted power. Households and factories came first. Progress or plunder? I went digging

This is so disgusting!!!
Shame on those bullies!!
A group of young women recorded themselves bullying and harassing another young lady, Jahenda, inside a washroom.
The victim was reportedly choked while trying to apologise and filmed while visibly distressed.
They were seen enjoying and celebrating their actions. They later shared the video online sparking widespread outrage and calls for those involved to be held accountable.

Day 1 at @btcplusplus Nairobi, and I was more than satisfied with the conversation around open-sourcing solutions to arrive at the desired goal faster. About to build to become Batman and not Robin🚀

Betting on yourself is funny because one day you’re scared to apply, next thing you’re confidently sitting in rooms you once thought were not for you.
If we are being honest, growth is uncomfortable and doesn’t always start with confidence.
It starts with curiosity, small decisions, and doing it afraid!
A lot of people think they need to “feel ready” before taking opportunities, but honestly, many of us are figuring things out as we go.
So if there’s something you’ve been postponing because you think you’re not good enough yet, this might be your sign to start anyway.
You’d be surprised what can happen when you finally decide to take yourself seriously.
What’s one thing you almost talked yourself out of doing?
