From my experience, if Bitcoin is going to be truly adopted especially here in developing countries,education has to start at the grassroots level. We need Bitcoin awareness and literacy introduced in lower classes, so that children grow up understanding and normalising what Bitcoin is and what it stands for.
I believe primary and secondary schools should have Bitcoin developer labs where young people can learn, experiment, and innovate. Circular Bitcoin economies should be encouraged and supported within communities. There is so much work that needs to be done, but the first step is education that is community led, inclusive, and built from the ground up.

If you look at the prehistory of Bitcoin,look at the ideas and social movements that existed before it,you will appreciate that Bitcoin Existence,it's inspiration was drawn from "protecting the oppressed". Bitcoin is not just money but it is a solution to the oppressed.
Bitcoin is the only form of money whose value is anchored in both technology and philosophy. Its philosophy challenges us to rethink the relationship between money, time, energy, and society. Money cannot simply be paper printed at will. Real money must be scarce, difficult to produce, and carry intrinsic value rooted in transparency, security, and fairness. Bitcoin embodies all of this , a monetary system built on proof of work, individual sovereignty, and decentralized trust.
Today I just want to give a big shout to BTrust for the amazing work they are doing in the Bitcoin ecosystem.
This is a true reflection of Bitcoin philosophy promoting privacy, freedom, and empowerment through supporting Bitcoin developers.
Itβs inspiring to see how BTrust is creating opportunities for young people across Africa and beyond, helping them step into open-source development and other meaningful roles. For me, what stands out the most is their accountability and transparency, values that every Bitcoin initiative or entity should embody.
Bitcoin is about dignity, sovereignty, and empowering communities and BTrust is living that out.
Much respect.
In Malawi we are planning to open computer labs at public primary and secondary schools where students can get hands on especially on Bitcoin development. We want to build a society where students learn to become developers even at an early stage. These are some of our Bitcoin initiatives that we can't do on our own. Any amount of money contributed will make a very big difference in teaching these young boys and girls about decentralized money and also social media platforms where they get to realize the true freedom of speech,dignity and ofcourse being empowered financially.
If the cypherpunks,David Chum,Wei Dai questioned the role of privacy and freedom in the digital world,who are we not to question it now in 2026? We will not stop till masses understand the importance of decentralization starting with decentralized money to decentralized social media platforms.
We can't also talk about Bitcoin prehistory without mentioning David Chaum,who in the 1980s tried to introduce anonymous electronic money called DigiCash that unfortunately never boomed.
So in the 1980s and 1990s a group of people began to question the role of privacy and freedom in the digital world. They thought that cryptography was a tool to protecting individual rights from institutions or governments. This group of people among other series of social movements, is the most and important movement that led to the creation of what we are enjoying now called Bitcoin Technology.
