"not everyone has the luxury of an extra 10,000 hours to study bitcoin. Most people just need simple tools to move value." –@waithiraah
Talking about the practical use case of bitcoin for everyday people, beyond just the hardcore bitcoiners.
@TK_254@DiscoverJKUAT@multimedia_uni@TrezorAcademy@fedibtc On the questions @Fideltodayy can respond to that.We kicked off by asking the audience whether they preferred holding value in Kenya shillings (fiat) or in #Bitcoin. The question on volatility sparked mixed feelings, but the promise of Bitcoin’s price appreciation won most hearts
Proud to be the title sponsor of the @btcnairobi_conf!
The bitcoin space in Kenya and the whole East African region is mindblowing. Come meet the builders, educators, community leaders and fellow bitcoiners in June 24-26!
Hier, j'ai partagé le plateau de @BfmCrypto avec Arnaud Touati et Jonathan Herscovici pour parler réglementation mais surtout innovation.
L'occasion de revenir sur une actualité qui m'a marquée : @tando_me .
Rappel, l'entreprise a rendu 40 millions de numéros M-Pesa adressables sur le réseau Lightning. Concrètement : on peut envoyer des fractions de Bitcoin à quelqu'un au Kenya depuis son téléphone, et cette personne reçoit des shillings sur son mobile. Sans wallet, sans jargon, sans rien comprendre au Bitcoin.
Le Bitcoin devient le rail. Pas le produit.
Attention toutefois : ces 40 millions ne sont pas 40 millions d'utilisateurs de Bitcoin. C'est un rail qui se pose, pas une vague d'adoption. Mais c'est précisément là que se joue l'essentiel, le Kenya reçoit plus de 4 milliards de dollars de transferts par an, sur des canaux chers et lents.
Et cette nouvelle tranche avec l'atmosphère de la conférence de la BCEAO, tenue à Dakar le 8 mai.
Une conférence historique (premier pas réel, à saluer) réunissant le FMI, la Banque mondiale et la Fed. Mais centrée sur la réglementation et les stablecoins, et qui a quasiment ignoré Bitcoin et les innovations des fintechs africaines.
D'un côté, les institutions débattent du cadre. De l'autre, l'usage avance sur le terrain.
Bitcoin is not coming to Nairobi; it has already been here 🔥
The Bitcoin Nairobi Conference, happening for the first time in East Africa, is bringing together curious minds from policymakers and banks to bitcoiners and non-coiners to learn, connect, and participate in the growing Bitcoin movement.
One of the highlights of the conference is the Bitcoin Circular Economy Day, where attendees will visit the Afribit Kibera Bitcoin Circular Economy and see firsthand how people are using and interacting with Bitcoin in their daily lives.
This conference is led by @AfribitKibera and @GorillaSats, with partners including @TrezorAcademy, @CapitalFMKenya, @bitika_KE, @tando_me, Talo, and many more.
The conference will be held at ASK Dome, Nairobi, and there will be lots of Bitcoin activities and pre-events.
To learn more about the conference, follow @btcnairobi_conf.

The @fedibtc provided a faucet at the @BitEduhub community for the pizza day and we got to claim 200 Sats! This made the students conduct peer-to-peer transactions and paid 21 Sats for the pizza with Fedi. We also learnt why private keys are importantly recovering wallets!
