Tunde is a Bitcoin developer in Lagos, building Yoruba translations straight into his Lightning wallet.

So the traders he's onboarding aren't left guessing what a "payment layer" even means. 🧵

[Bitcoin Plain Talk @btcplaintalk]

So: how would you say "Lightning Network" in your language?

Igbo, Hausa, Edo, Ijaw, Efik, Tiv, Kikuyu, Dholuo, Kamba, Luhya, Zulu or your native tongue. Drop it in the replies 👇🏾

Subira runs a fashion house in Nairobi. She's moving the whole business onto the Bitcoin standard.

Here's the catch: most of her tailors only speak Swahili. 🧵

Every translation helps someone like Subira's tailors, and builds the African-language data this project exists for.

Most bitcoin docs are written by devs, for devs.
We're building the plain-language layer next to it, an open-source glossary explaining bitcoin through everyday African analogies. 🧡

[Bitcoin Plain Talk @btcplaintalk]

Dev, researcher, or just tired of not understanding bitcoin jargon, there's a lane for you here.
Add a term. Fix an explanation. Translate one.
Or reply with the bitcoin word that never made sense to you.
