"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.

[Fernando Motolese @MotoleseOficial]

This is what sovereignty looks like.

No middlemen. No permission. Just the true Bitcoiner spirit in action.

There is always hope for those who prepare, plant seeds, and keep showing up. Seeds grow. Eventually, they bear fruit.

The Bitcoin protocol made this possible, but the human layer is still the most important part.

@BrindonMwiine from @BitcoinKampala and Isma from @orphansofuganda have been working silently, building this dream piece by piece.

There is still a lot to do, but the path is real.

May the universe give these kids all the blessings they deserve.

Slowly, then suddenly.

[Bitcoin DADA @btc_dada]

Learning doesn’t always have to happen behind a screen, in a classroom, or through endless slides.

Sometimes, the best way to understand Bitcoin is to become the network itself.

Last Saturday at the DadaHub, our Dadas stepped into the Bitcoin protocol through a Live Action Role Play (LARP) session led by our founder, @marcelorraine, in collaboration with @base58school and @niftynei.

And what started as a learning exercise quickly became something much bigger.

There were moments of intense concentration as teams raced to verify transactions, protect the network, and outsmart each other. There were moments of fierce competition too. At one point, the room felt less like a workshop and more like a championship final. Nobody wanted to lose.

(Although rumours suggest the real motivation may have been avoiding a certain karaoke performance after the session. 😭)

But that’s the magic of experiences like these.

People arrived to learn Bitcoin. They left understanding it.

Not because they memorised definitions, but because they experienced the protocol in action.

The laughter was constant. The debates were loud. The strategy sessions were serious. And somewhere between acting as nodes, miners, and wallets, abstract concepts suddenly became real.

And because Bitcoin is ultimately about people, not just technology, we ended the day sharing something equally important: our stories.

From our tribal showcase, where Dadas introduced each other to the beauty and uniqueness of their cultures, to a karaoke session that proved enthusiasm is far more important than vocal talent, the day reminded us that community is built in moments like these.

Moments where strangers become friends.

Where learning becomes memorable.

Where women interested in Bitcoin realise they are part of something bigger than themselves.

This is what Bitcoin Dada has always been about.

Not just education.

Belonging.

Here’s a short recap of how the day went down. 💛

And if you missed this one... let's just say you’ll want to be at the next LARP session.

Photos coming soon, so stick around.

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.

Happy Bitcoin Pizza Day from all of us at Orphans of Uganda Children’s Center! 🍕🧡

Today we celebrate the historic moment when Bitcoin was first used to buy pizza, a small transaction that changed the world forever. What started with two pizzas became a movement bringing hope, freedom, and opportunities to people across the globe.

Here in Uganda, Bitcoin has helped us feed orphans, support education, buy building materials, and continue working toward completing a safe home for vulnerable children. Every satoshi shared with love has made a real difference in the lives of our boys and girls.

As the world celebrates Bitcoin Pizza Day, we send our gratitude to the amazing Bitcoin community for standing with us and proving that Bitcoin is not just technology, it is hope in action.

May your day be filled with joy, pizza, and the spirit of generosity. 🍕⚡

Happy Bitcoin Pizza Day to the whole world from Orphans of Uganda Children’s Center! 🌍🧡

[Loresho_Hodler ⚡️ @rkirubi]

From 10,000 BTC pizzas… to Bitcoin Nairobi 2026.

What started as two pizzas in 2010 is slowly becoming parallel economic infrastructure across the world. Not through slogans. Through everyday trade.

Every merchant accepting sats.
Every circular economy.
Every small payment settled without permission.
Every Kenyan saving in a money that cannot be inflated away.

Slice by slice, a new system is emerging beside the old one.

And Nairobi is becoming one of the kitchens where it’s being built. 🍕⚡️

Join us at the Conference June 24–25, 2026.

Policy. Energy. Banking. AI. Circular economies. Sovereignty. Real adoption.

The first Bitcoin pizza purchase was 10,000 BTC.

At today’s prices, those two pizzas would be worth well over $1 billion.

Not because pizza changed.
Because money did.”

Starlight School is proof that Bitcoin can change real lives.

[Btrust @btrustteam]

🧑‍💻@nagasha_'s path into Bitcoin open source is anything but ordinary. She began her career as a civil engineer, explored technology on the side, and followed her curiosity into a completely new world.

That curiosity led her to @BitDevsKLA 🇺🇬, the @btrust_builders program, and eventually to a full-time role contributing to @lightningpolar.

In our latest grantee spotlight, Jemimah shares how the journey unfolded, what she learned along the way, and why Bitcoin has room for people from many different backgrounds.

If you have ever wondered how people make the jump into Bitcoin open source, this is one story you will want to read.
