A friend of mine had USD on a Zimbabwean bank account - over night the money was converted to the worthless Zimbabwean Dollar.

This is one of the stories that shaped my thinking about money, power, and human freedom.

The full talk will be published soon.

[Btrust @btrustteam]

The closing panel of the Freedom Tech Track at the 2026 @OsloFF brought together @ihate1999, @AnaiseKanimba, @obi, and @waithiraah to discuss one of the most important questions in the bitcoin ecosystem: how do we make bitcoin practical for everyday people?

A key theme throughout the discussion was that Africa represents one of the largest opportunities for bitcoin adoption globally. From payments and savings to financial inclusion and economic freedom, the continent is already demonstrating real-world bitcoin use cases at scale.

The conversation explored how builders, entrepreneurs, and advocates are creating tools that expand freedom, reduce barriers to access, and make bitcoin more useful in people's daily lives.

Bitcoin Pizza Day in Lusaka, Zambia last week!

Day 1 of our Lightning Developer Bootcamp in Bujumbura, Burundi 🇧🇮 is a wrap!

We started with the fundamentals, exploring what money actually is, tracing its history, and examining what makes good money. Bitcoin doesn't just meet those criteria; it redefines them.

From there we moved into the technical layer: how Bitcoin transactions are constructed, how cryptographic signatures (ECDSA) work, and the relationship between private and public keys. We closed the day by unpacking blocks and the blockchain itself, the data structure that makes it all trustless.

Shoutout to our instructors @heyolaniran and @advaxeir, you set the tone perfectly for what's going to be an incredible 5 days.

None of this happens without the support of our amazing sponsors and partners, @btrustteam, @HRF, @Tether_Africa, @afribitcoiners, @planb_network, @bitdevsgtga, and @freetechite.
Thank you 🙏

On to Day 2...
