<p>Hermann Buhr Vivier of Bitcoin Ekasi and Carel Van Wyk of MoneyBadger join for an emergency dispatch on South Africa’s proposed Bitcoin restrictions. We get into draft exchange control rules that would bring Bitcoin under a harsh regulatory framework, including forced disclosure of private keys, undefined transaction thresholds, limits on peer-to-peer commerce, mandatory use of centralized crypto service providers, and potential forfeiture. Then we discuss why South Africa’s grassroots Bitcoin adoption matters globally, how MoneyBadger and Bitcoin Ekasi helped build real circular economy usage, and what Bitcoiners can do to push back through public comments, legal challenges, donations, and awareness.<br /><br />Property Rights Defense Group: <a href="https://propertyrightsdefense.org" target="_blank">https://propertyrightsdefense.org</a><br />PRDG on X: <a href="https://x.com/PRDG_ZA" target="_blank">https://x.com/PRDG_ZA</a><br />Bitcoin Ekasi: <a href="https://bitcoinekasi.com/" target="_blank">https://bitcoinekasi.com/</a><br />Bitcoin Ekasi on X: <a href="https://x.com/BitcoinEkasi" target="_blank">https://x.com/BitcoinEkasi</a> <br />Bitcoin Ekasi on Nostr: <a href="https://primal.net/bitcoinekasi" target="_blank">https://primal.net/bitcoinekasi</a> <br />MoneyBadger: <a href="https://x.com/MoneyBadgerPay" target="_blank">https://x.com/MoneyBadgerPay</a><br />MoneyBadger on X: <a href="https://x.com/MoneyBadgerPay" target="_blank">https://x.com/MoneyBadgerPay</a><br />MoneyBadger on Nostr: <a href="https://primal.net/p/nprofile1qqsz85k206vm3vqdmlvcy9l4kyfqchlnf4hnctasxufa3ph0ck9decgpk49rf" target="_blank">https://primal.net/p/nprofile1qqsz85k206vm3vqdmlvcy9l4kyfqchlnf4hnctasxufa3ph0ck9decgpk49rf</a> <br /><br /><strong>EPISODE: 203<br />BLOCK: 949535<br />PRICE: 1264 sats per dollar</strong><br /><br />more info on the show: <a href="https://citadeldispatch.com" target="_blank">https://citadeldispatch.com</a><br />learn more about me: <a href="https://odell.xyz" target="_blank">https://odell.xyz</a><br />monitor the situation: <a href="https://citadelwire.com" target="_blank">https://citadelwire.com</a><br />ten31: <a href="https://ten31.xyz" target="_blank">https://ten31.xyz</a><br />opensats: <a href="https://opensats.org" target="_blank">https://opensats.org</a></p>
