Monthly Round Up 8: Capital Controls Come For Bitcoin
They don’t need to pass a new law to change your life, they can update “regulations” and call it a day. We sit down to unpack South Africa’s draft capital flow regulations from Treasury and the South African Reserve Bank, why the public comment window matters, and why the process feels like it dodges real democratic accountability. We get specific about what’s being proposed and what it could mean for Bitcoin self-custody, peer-to-peer payments and everyday users who are not trying to “break...

Jabu Jakes - Bitcoin Works Because Nobody Owns It
A government can threaten bans, taxes, and capital controls, but what happens when the thing it is trying to control is just code running on a global, decentralised network? We sit down with Jacques “Jabu Jacks” Strydom to get past the noise and talk about Bitcoin in South Africa the way business owners, engineers, and everyday people actually experience it. The conversation starts with identity and lived experience, then quickly lands on a practical question: how do you fit Bitcoin into the ...

Nick Darlington: A Freelancer Turns Bitcoin Into Everyday Money
Owning Bitcoin is easy. Using it in the real world, without wrecking your savings plan, is where things get interesting. We chat with Nick Darlington, a South African freelancer and builder who went from travel and a self-made writing career to launching Bitcoin Friendly SA, a project focused on growing Bitcoin payments and a local Bitcoin circular economy. We get into the personal backstory first: leaving the corporate route, learning how to earn online, and the hard-won lessons that come f...

Monthly Round Up 8: When Data Becomes Oil Who Owns You
We go deep on what “sovereign computing” looks like when you try it for real, from spinning up a Fedimint federation to self-hosting services that keep working even when platforms or politics turn against you. We then connect local AI, persistent knowledge bases, and geopolitics to one question: do we own our tools or do we rent our future? • choosing a deliberately clickbait title and what it signals about tech culture • setting up a Fedimint federation on Start9 and what makes it “ea...

David Ansara: The only problem with Orania, is that there aren't more of them.
When the lights go out and the basics stop working, most people either rage at politics or retreat into cynicism. We chose a third option: talk honestly about what freedom requires when the state centralises power, fails at delivery, and still asks for more control. David Ansara from the Free Market Foundation joins us for a wide-ranging, South Africa grounded conversation on classical liberalism, individual rights, and why the rule of law is supposed to restrain whoever holds office. We dig...

Monthly Round Up 7: It's Tamagochi For Grown-Ups
AI agents are starting to feel less like chatbots and more like little workers you have to raise. We talk about OpenClaw, Start9, and what it actually takes to run self-hosted AI on real-world hardware, from a Raspberry Pi to an old laptop that should have been retired years ago. The “grown-up Tamagotchi” idea sticks because these agents only become useful when you feed them context, tools, and boundaries and when you keep them away from anything that can wreck your life, like Bitcoin keys. ...

Jordan - Build Tech That Can’t Be Tread On
Imagine telling a stranger your most personal message so they can walk it across the room to your partner—then watching them copy it into a company database. That’s how most digital communication works today. We unpack why privacy is not secrecy, why “I have nothing to hide” is a trap, and how to build a tech life that works in your interest rather than mining it. We dive into sovereign computing—the practice of choosing tools that resist surveillance and censorship. From the Cypherpunk fram...

Monthly Round Up 6: We Really Should Not Be Listening To These People
We share hard-won lessons from Adopting Bitcoin Cape Town: live Lightning demos that clear cross-border in minutes, cafés running BTCPay, and African builders shipping useful tools without permission. We dig into agentic AI, offline comms, the fiat circus, and why self-custody is a peaceful opt-out. • stand-out moments from a builder-led, Bitcoin-only conference • real-time Orange demo: EU, UK, Nigeria to SA in minutes • how Lightning stitches local bank rails across borders ...
