For Mo personally, Bitcoin has been transformative. So some, like Mo, are turning to Bitcoin. Even today, according to Mo, many Sudanese are fearful of using dollars or storing money at home. According to Mo, inflation is 340%. While the average citizen watched as their wages stagnated and living costs rose, Bashir and his cronies accumulated billions and saved them in foreign currencies, locked away in Swiss bank accounts. He started to use it while working abroad, exchanging euros for bitcoin over PayPal on LocalBitcoins. While Bitcoin has failed in its stated objectives, it has become a speculative investment. In direct contradiction to billionaire claims that Bitcoin is worthless and has no social value, Mo knows many Sudanese who rely on it as a lifeline. It is no doubt, the satisfied customers who came back to become repeat customers, investing over and over again in the currency and spreading the good news to all who cared to listen. He spent countless hours watching Andreas Antonopolous videos and read through "The Internet Of Money," which helped him understand the "why" behind the new currency. In 2015, Mo first heard about this mysterious internet money, as he put it, on YouTube.

As of today, Mo estimates that 13 million of Sudan’s 43 million people have internet access, and he thinks that in a few years, that number will top 20 million. As for the likes of Bill Gates and Buffet, Mo said they might understand the technology behind Bitcoin, but they will never be happy about it because it is coming to seize a place on the global stage that they used to have just for themselves. He has started a podcast in Arabic for Sudanese youth to talk about Bitcoin, money, freedom and the future of their country. He said that the Sudanese who do already have smartphones have an extended responsibility to help others with their privilege. The price of Bitcoin has seen big changes since BTC was first launched in 2009. Initially, Bitcoin didn’t really have an established price, and most people who owned BTC obtained it through mining. I've been able to do some pretty cool stuff with crypto projects, from mining different coins to doing day trading stuff on the side using Binance and other exchanges.

Both require you to enter your worker info and pool and they’ll start mining. Today the new Sudanese government is struggling to regain all that was looted and lost in the past 30 years. Today, after a series of devaluations and constant inflation, a Sudanese pound will officially obtain around .0025 dollars. That works perfectly well as a direct replacement for some uses of script-based multisig today, such as spending 2-of-2 LN funding outputs, but it’s a departure from other popular policies such as the 2-of-3 multisig script used by many exchanges. It’s sort of like how Bitcoin nodes all do their individual check of the blockchain and enforce all of the rules locally, because they have absolutely no reason to trust another peer that that peer did the work and is truthfully reporting the data to them, instead of just doing it themselves locally. A node that sends this message during connection establishment signals to its peer that it will never request or announce transactions on that connection. What this means is that if there is a fixed chosen public key in advance it is impossible to create a signature for that key without having the key for any message even messages that an attacker can choose.

After a show trial, he was hanged, sending a message to the population: if anyone tries to use anything but the Sudanese currency through our banking system - if anyone tries to own their own money - they will get the death sentence. Mo is beginning to see just how massive the Lightning Network will be for Sudan because most users will be in the micropayment space, sending transactions of $5 or $10, and will not be able to afford the increasingly high on-chain fees. Maybe, Mo said, the critics just cannot see past their financial privilege. People were initially optimistic about the change, Mo said, but the reality is not meeting their expectations. But people are still suffering. The problem is,

families are paid not in dollars but in pounds, so the value disappears after a few months. This particular endorsement led to the value of Bitcoin to rise significantly. The fact that the world has shrunk to the size of a village and that all commercial activities are now intertwined has led to a slew of problems in the business world.
