About this listen

 In this episode, we dive into the inspiring work of Hermann Vivier, the founder of Bitcoin Ekasi and The Surfer Kids, a nonprofit organization based in South Africa. Hermann shares his journey of supporting young people through surfing and financial empowerment by integrating Bitcoin into their lives. He discusses the challenges and triumphs of transitioning the organization to a Bitcoin standard, where they now fundraise and pay salaries in Bitcoin. Hermann also reflects on the impact of Bitcoin on the community, particularly during the COVID-19 lockdowns, and how it has provided a new avenue for societal change and personal growth.Hermann opens up about his personal journey of recovery from addiction and how it parallels the principles of Bitcoin, emphasizing personal responsibility and self-sovereignty. He shares insights into the circular economy they've built in the township, where Bitcoin is used as a medium of exchange, and the transformative effect it has had on the children and the community. The episode also touches on the broader implications of Bitcoin as a tool for financial freedom and societal transformation, drawing parallels between the decentralized nature of Bitcoin and recovery programs. 🔥 LISTEN TO EPISODE HERE https://serve.podhome.fm/episodepage/djvalerieblove/214(00:00:30) Introduction to Hermann Vivier and Bitcoin eKasi(00:03:41) Transition to Bitcoin Standard(00:06:34) Hermann's Journey into Bitcoin(00:15:07) Bitcoin as Medium of Exchange and Store of Value(00:21:19) Empowering Kids with Bitcoin(00:34:06) Challenges and Success Stories(00:54:44) Building a Circular Economy(01:19:53) Spending Bitcoin in the Community(01:32:35) Understanding Bitcoin Custody(01:44:43) Personal Responsibility and Recovery(02:04:16) Parallels Between Bitcoin and Recovery❤️ SUBSCRIBE to Manifest with LOVE Newsletterhttps://djvalerieblove.com/subscribe🧡 SUPPORT THE SHOW WITH TIPS - Thank You! https://getalby.com/p/djvalerie 💛 SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCASTYOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/@djvaleriebloveRUMBLE: https://rumble.com/c/c-6698813WEBSITE: https://djvalerieblove.com/podcastFOUNTAIN.FM: https://fountain.fm/show/761jhxFiibErm7eZZdltAPPLE: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dj-valerie-b-love-show/id1441540841SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/6kZfzFZ3wKmWiljDajrJZ5?si=a9433473b06f464bRSS: https://serve.podhome.fm/rss/4996bcea-e098-5a89-ac63-af7a3df7cb5d💚 FOLLOW DJ Valerie X - TWITTER: https://twitter.com/djvaleriebloveFACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/djValerieBLoveINSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/djvalerieblove/LINKEDIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dj-valerie-b-love/NOSTR: https://primal.net/djvalerieblove🩵 DJ VALERIE’S FAVORITE TOOLS BITCOIN MENTOR - FREE consult for self-custody https://bitcoinmentor.io/aff/love/ AUDIBLE - Get 2 FREE Audiobooks https://www.audibletrial.com/bitcoinSHAMORY - Have Fun Learn Bitcoin 10% Discount shamory.com/loveSATSBACK - Get Bitcoin rewards when you shop https://satsback.com/register/Ezv2VLwKXgLd8X4ZHEATBIT - 5% OFF Code = PEACE -Earn Bitcoin & Save $ Heating Your Home https://heatbit.com/?ref=LOVE 💙 DJ VALERIE’S FAVORITE EVENTS https://b.tc/conference/2025/ Use code LOVE for 10% OFF https://www.adoptingbitcoin.org/ Use code DJVAL for 10% OFFhttps://sovereignminds.ca/https://btcplusplus.dev/https://baltichoneybadger.com/https://bitblockboom.com/https://unconfiscatable.com/https://bitcoinunconference.com/https://afrobitcoin.org/https://oslofreedomforum.com/https://denver.space/💜 BUY, TRADE, STORE, MINE BITCOINHODL HODL no KYC https://hodlhodl.com/join/NMKLQ RIVER FINANCIAL Buy Bitcoin Safely -Get Up to $100 in FREE Bitcoin https://partner.river.com/LOVE TREZOR - Get 10% OFF Trezor 5.0 and Onboarding Call https://affil.trezor.io/SHcTCOLDCARD Discount 5%- Promo Code “PEACE” store.coinkite.com/promo/PEACESAZ MINING - Get $50 OFF your Bitcoin Mining Order https://app.sazmining.com/purchase?ref=DJVAL🩷 DJ VALERIE'S FAVORITE IDEASWHAT IS VALUE FOR VALUE? - ADAM CURRY https://value4value.info/about/
