PoW⚑️: Bullish from yesterday’s session! We kicked off Chapter 8 of the #Bitcoin Diploma with an introduction to the Lightning Networkβ€”covering how it works, the process of opening/closing channels, and the differences between lightning and on-chain transactions. We also broke down Lightning wallets (custodial vs. self-custodial, open-source vs. closed-source) and explored practical use cases with tools like @Bitrefill, @BTC Map, and @BTCPay Server. The session wrapped up with a lively Q&A packed with great questions. Huge thanks to Tobe for leading and @Scarlette_Tumelo for moderating! We’ll be back on Monday with hands-on exercises, including how to open and use Lightning wallets together with more practical. Can’t wait! #BitcoinAfricaStory #BitcoinEducation cc: @My First Bitcoin

Bitcoin is for everyone β†’ even students are proving it. In our recent program, we brought Bitcoin to a summer school program, and it was worth it. πŸŽ₯ Student Reflections from our recent Program: Money, Savings & Bitcoin for Students πŸŽ₯ πŸ—£οΈ β€œI learned the importance of money, savings, and Bitcoin.” πŸ—£οΈ β€œI learned that Bitcoin goes up and down β€” that is volatility.” πŸ—£οΈ β€œNobody can cheat us of our money because of what we’ve been taught today.” This is why grassroots Bitcoin education matters: students are building financial literacy and learning to see money differently. 🌍⚑ We keep building.
