Attended @drunkenlectures Mashilingi na Manoti. Learnt about the history of the Kenyan shilling and the turbulences: Goldenberg..

Also, words you should expect in my vocabulary from now: GDP, fiscal policy, public debt, quantitative easing 😅

Such a thoughtfully curated space.

The University of Nairobi has been declared technically insolvent due to Sh20 billion in debt.

The debt is linked to reduced government funding, high operating costs and unpaid bills, including staff pensions

[Africa ₿itcoin Conference @AfroBitcoinOrg]

We are thrilled to announce Kimberley Sandra @Nyaaaaaaals as one of the speakers at the Africa Bitcoin Conference in Blantyre, Malawi.

Kimberley Sandra is a Kenyan Bitcoin policy and regulatory affairs practitioner focused on the intersection of Bitcoin, financial regulation, and financial inclusion in Africa.

She has worked across the African Bitcoin ecosystem, with experience spanning regulatory intelligence, compliance, policy research, ecosystem development, and operations. At Bitika, a Kenyan Bitcoin on-ramp, Kimberley worked on AML and compliance frameworks, regulatory engagement, data protection, and the development of Bitcoin infrastructure connecting mobile money users to Bitcoin.

Her work has also involved regulatory and policy research across several African markets, including Kenya, Ghana, Nigeria, Tanzania, Uganda, and South Africa. She is particularly interested in how African regulatory frameworks can respond to Bitcoin in ways that reflect local financial systems, economic realities, and patterns of adoption.

Kimberley’s research and advocacy focuses on Bitcoin policy, financial sovereignty, and the transition from Bitcoin adoption toward Bitcoin industrialisation in Africa. She is interested in what happens when Bitcoin moves beyond individual users and becomes part of the infrastructure supporting payments, commerce, savings, capital formation, and economic participation.

She is currently focused on building deeper expertise at the intersection of Bitcoin policy, regulatory intelligence, and institutional engagement across Africa.

Don’t miss any of her session at ABC2026.

[Bob Burnett @boomer_btc]

This happened in the middle of night US time, but in case you missed it @ocean_mining participants had a fairly amazing streak hitting 4 out of 5 blocks. When you mine with a pool that used TIDES (or PPLNS) payouts, this is really good news.

@Alienate_B @btrustteam @DadaDevs @btrust_builders @BitDevsNBO Thank you✨

[Btrust @btrustteam]

We’re excited to announce the Q3 2026 Btrust developer grant recipients. 🚀

Ten Bitcoin open-source developers are receiving support: five starter grant recipients and five long-term open-source cohort members.

This quarter also marks an important first: Btrust developer grants are going directly to developers outside Africa. Through our recent expansion of long-term grants across the Global Majority, we’re now supporting developers in Brazil 🇧🇷 and India 🇮🇳.

Their work, alongside that of recipients in Nigeria 🇳🇬 and Kenya 🇰🇪, spans @bitcoincoreorg, mining ⛏️ infrastructure, Lightning⚡, wallet libraries, and privacy-preserving payments.

Meet the recipients and learn about their work:
