#BITCOINPATHFINDERS (POW) - UPDATE 2
We are super excited to update #BitcoinPathfinders, our way to showcase the impact of quality #Bitcoin education, boost the visibility of our graduates' efforts on their pathways after learning #Bitcoin and inspire everyone that understanding Bitcoin is crucial to building your future with #Bitcoin as your economic perspective.
Having successfully run 9 cohorts from October 2023 to December 2025 and graduating a total of 577 students from 26 + different countries , we are proud to provide an update of #BitcoinPathfinders (Update 2).
In this update, 10 of our Alumni join the previous 18 from Update 1, bringing the total to 28. After understanding Bitcoin through our education and mentorship program led by @mukungufelix—and through their own efforts to understand #Bitcoin beyond our resources—these individuals are now #Building in the #Bitcoin space.
This is real impact and success for us, and a way to encourage the rest of the population to pay attention to Bitcoin, as it opens up critical thinking beyond it being the best form of money. We appreciate all our teachers who volunteered to help with education, as well as the guest speakers we invite every cohort to bring insights from their areas of expertise.
We also appreciate @HRF for their support through the BDF program, as well as donations from @geyserfund .
Shout out to @MyFirstBitcoin_ for their open-source resources, from the curriculum to the LMS that makes our teaching and evaluation process easy.
We welcome the #Bitcoin community to pay attention to our update of #BitcoinPathfinders 1 & 2 and follow these projects. Please provide any kind of support as you wish. To all the projects offering job opportunities to our Alumni, we truly appreciate the work you are doing. Please check below to see Update 2 of each individual and what they are building or the opportunities they found.
BITCOIN FOR EVERYONE !

#BITCOINPATHFINDERS 🚀 (POW)
As we celebrate #Bitcoin Pizza Day, we’re also celebrating the incredible journey of our platform in Bitcoin education and community building.
From 6 cohorts, we have 351 graduates across 15+ countries in Africa and beyond, we've distributed 175,500 sats as rewards to our graduates and inspired 10 new #Bitcoin Only projects across 5 countries—with some receiving support from @HRF@OpenSats, @Bitcoinbeach , https://t.co/DxEqb9WrKK , and others now part of the @MyfirstBitcoin_ Node Network.
Our mission goes beyond teaching that Bitcoin is better money. Quality Bitcoin education inspires critical thinking, encourages a low time preference, and helps students understand the importance of strong foundations—just like Bitcoin’s own resilience through time, criticism, and attempts to change its Core rules.
At least 8 individuals from our cohorts have already integrated #Bitcoin into their careers, building in #Bitcoin-only projects and expanding its use in creative and technical spaces.
We’re deeply grateful to:
@MyfirstBitcoin_ for the curriculum and tools to track student progress. @BitcoinUbuntu , our volunteer educator for 5 cohorts. Our founder @MukunguFelix for organizing guest sessions and ensuring program excellence as well as being the default Educator to all the 6 cohorts . All our guest speakers in each cohort who’ve shared insights on #Bitcoin & Economics, #Bitcoin Lightning Network, #Bitcoin Mining, and #Bitcoin & Human Rights—your knowledge has been invaluable.
And to the global Bitcoin community—thank you for your collaboration, inspiration, and shared best practices.
As we continue building, we’re excited to roll out even more programs, including @bitcoingithurai and #Bitcoin Sovereignty (in collaboration with @D_plus__plus ).
Bitcoin is For Everyone.

FEDI WORKSHOP
Today we introduced @fedibtc to our Cohort 11 students in preparation for the upcoming chapters of the Bitcoin Diploma.
We created the Cohort 11 community group on Fedi community spaces and had a fun, interactive session rewarding students with sats directly in the chat on Fedi for giving correct answers!
The students explored powerful features on Fedi, including community spaces, chat, and wallet services, where they successfully joined the @AfribitKibera 's Federation. We also explored Mini-apps, and one of our students from Kenya even used @tando_me on Fedi to send 0.00000211 BTC (KES 20 ) to their M-Pesa ! Buying #bitcoin using @minmo_to on Fedi
Fedi is truly the super app for community building, and we are already looking forward to our next session on Tuesday.
Huge appreciation to @MukunguFelix for leading such an impactful session!
