In my case, it was my wife, Anuja, then girlfriend, who had to endure my conversations about bitcoin. “Hey, babe, look what I learned today.” “Did you know Bitcoin does this?” “Oh wow, look what <a href="https://x.com/saifedean">Saifedean</a> tweeted.”</p> <p>Yes, I know I sound like a nerd. I thought I was making headway with her. Anuja had her own Bitcoin wallet; she knew how it worked and why it mattered. Heck, she even used a hardware wallet without connecting it to the computer (air gap transaction). Little did I know she felt like a college student forced to take a course she didn&#39;t want. The signs slowly started to appear. I could see her eyes roll when the topic came up. She would passively listen in one ear, out the other.</p> <p>There came a point where I was told to stop using the ‘B’ word on certain days of the week. Bitcoin could not be brought up in the household! Think about that for a second: Bitcoin had to be banned from our conversation for her to feel reprieve.</p> <p>To make matters worse, as she distanced herself, I was further drawn to it. I even held a signboard in the streets of Calgary. Before leaving for work, Anuja would ask, “Where will you stand today?” She didn’t want to run into her Bitcoin-crazed husband while walking with her colleagues.</p> <p>During this time, we were planning a sabbatical, a year-long break, to travel through Africa from Cairo all the way down to Cape Town. Psycho-me insisted on inserting bitcoin into this as well and coined it our ‘Bitcoin pilgrimage’. It did not sit well with her! SHE HATED IT.</p> <p>Anuja&#39;s sentiment started to change when we arrived in Africa, specifically in Egypt, our first destination. Due to capital controls, the Egyptian Pound (EGP) wasn&#39;t doing too well. The bank set one rate (1 USD = 31 EGP), while the street offered a ~20% premium (1 USD = 37 EGP). As we met locals and learned more about their economic troubles, I could see Anuja&#39;s interest grow. Actively listening, even bringing up Bitcoin on her own accord. It was an odd feeling; she was warming up to the idea, not because I told her, but rather, she was seeing the problem with her own eyes.</p> <p>When we landed in Addis Ababa, we approached a currency exchange kiosk. We handed 50 USD worth of Egyptian Pounds and asked for Ethiopian Birr (ETB). The agent pushed the stack of bills back to us. Confused, I slid it back towards him and asked to exchange it. He pushed it back forcefully and said, &#34;Go back to Egypt, no value here!&#34; Our jaws dropped. &#34;What does he mean, go back?&#34; Anuja asked. &#34;It has no value outside its borders,&#34; I said. This incident stayed with us for the rest of the trip. Reading about instances like this was one thing; experiencing it was a totally different ballgame.</p> <p>Uganda was the tipping point where she saw Bitcoin being spent as everyday money (medium of exchange). Food, haircut, even perfume could be purchased with this new form of money. <a href="https://x.com/bitcoinkampala">Bitcoin Kampala</a>, the local circular economy, although small, had a strong community. Here, we noticed fresh fruits were littered at every street corner, yet no fresh juice was being sold. This led us to open JuicyB, a Bitcoin-themed juice shop. Anuja designed our store, its logo, patterns and turned the shop into a Bitcoin literacy center for the community. It would be an injustice not to mention our partners, <a href="https://x.com/BrindonMwiine">Brindon</a> and <a href="https://x.com/afansabila">Afan</a>, founders of Bitcoin Kampala. Also, shoutout to the <a href="https://x.com/btc_dada">Bitcoin Dadas</a> for welcoming Anuja and giving a safe space for women to discuss all things Bitcoin!</p> <p>Suggesting the rest is history won&#39;t do justice to Anuja&#39;s 180-degree change. After our sabbatical, she launched ‘Travel With Bitcoin’ to solve a problem we encountered throughout our trip: finding tour operators who accept bitcoin was not easy! In her first year alone, she held 4 tours each on a different continent. She’s spoken at multiple Bitcoin conferences about finding your own purpose in the space since many assume development is the only opportunity. She is living proof that this is not the case.</p> <p>So what can you do? Taking your spouse to Africa isn’t the only option. Going to a place with high bitcoin adoption helps, but you can still make progress locally. Have them interact with the local community if there is one. Take them to a meetup so they can see how others view it, not just you. Have them spend Bitcoin on everyday items so they understand it’s usable. Ultimately, talk less and show more. Let them experience it!</p> </blockquote> 2026-03-20T05:21:17Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs8tmufy6t7dqgda0js6eckyq08sjtfn0w5zsh2dwxq7xahzq2qpkqzyp8c908dgfvy56k0emf2v4a44j4uf7gdwk54a5ll3z8nkp9cj2rrq92rg4w In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs8vre5e6f5dk4rlnmthrq9nhy82tse8q63hd394vkwdl8p8nu8plg64mfu5'>nevent1q…mfu5</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/><a href="https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-6b7IeQp7iTNeXw8fqqnqAqRu_BE5dqE&amp;si=gya66F_00RhQ3TKr">https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-6b7IeQp7iTNeXw8fqqnqAqRu_BE5dqE&amp;si=gya66F_00RhQ3TKr</a> 2026-03-18T06:30:38Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs8vre5e6f5dk4rlnmthrq9nhy82tse8q63hd394vkwdl8p8nu8plgzyp8c908dgfvy56k0emf2v4a44j4uf7gdwk54a5ll3z8nkp9cj2rrqvp3ukv A participant from the accelerator called me out. <br/><br/>&#34;You&#39;re doing a poor job of highlighting the program. One social update a week is not enough!” he said.<br/><br/>The fact is, he&#39;s right, and I have to accept this criticism. I&#39;ve been pushing these participants for 10 weeks, so it&#39;s only fair that they push me as well. <br/><br/>He&#39;s challenged me to post a video daily until the program finishes on April 5th, so that&#39;s 21 videos in total.<br/><br/>“Single take, no edits, raw, unfiltered, Santosh” is what he asked for. <br/><br/>He has a background in film production, so he knows a thing or two about videos. <br/><br/>We&#39;re already 2 days in with 19 more to go. You can find these videos on my Youtube channel (linked in comments). What started as an avenue to share my Bitcoin visual notes, then captured interviews during our travels and is now an accelerator vlog.<br/><br/>To be honest, I felt refreshed after recording the two videos. I didn&#39;t have to ask ChatGPT for a viral hook, a click-baity thumbnail or a description. I turned the camera on and just spoke until I got tired of listening to myself, like the good old vlog days.<br/><br/>I&#39;m curious. Do you think unedited raw footage will gain appreciation in this age of AI and highly curated content? 2026-03-18T06:25:11Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs0rt0xwcey5ljy3armtmmvt0xc73sv80ltdhqd74dh9dmp8wsrmdczyp8c908dgfvy56k0emf2v4a44j4uf7gdwk54a5ll3z8nkp9cj2rrqye4dzv When you realize India has 65M+ UPI merchants, this is super powerful!<br/><blockquote class="border-l-05rem border-l-strongpink border-solid"><div class="-ml-4 bg-gradient-to-r from-gray-100 dark:from-zinc-800 to-transparent mr-0 mt-0 mb-4 pl-4 pr-2 py-2">quoting <br/><span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Article"><a itemprop="url" href="/nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzq7k86hc8djx7yqs5gdq6zcaw9d4s66hyxada83q5w3usu4nqf2tyqy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hj7qgwwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkctcpr9mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuumwdae8gtnnda3kjctv9uqzqgz0p7n0pjx3d5pj0q7jgzh064duxrxeygppgr23htufv3s7vwqjqrmp5e" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1">nevent1q…mp5e</a></span> </div> <br/>256D in action.
