PoW⚡️: Bullish for yesterday's session! We kicked off Chapter 9 of the #Bitcoin Diploma, diving into Bitcoin's technical side. The session covered encryption, decryption, hashing, hash functions, public and private keys, and key Bitcoin technicalities in an easy-to-understand way—thanks to the well-structured curriculum and the tutor’s clear explanations. A big thank you to @Bitcoin Ubuntu ⚡ for the insightful session and @Destiny for co-hosting! We also had an extended Q&A session where we discussed key takeaways, making it a highly insightful discussion. ➼ Excited for Friday’s session, where we’ll explore Bitcoin’s deeper technical aspects, including UTXOs and more! cc: @My First Bitcoin #BitcoinAfricaStory #BitcoinEducation
PoW⚡️: Bullish for yesterday's session! We wrapped up Chapter 8 of the #Bitcoin Diploma, exploring Sending & Receiving Lightning Transactions and tools that simplify the process, such as nostr:nprofile1qqs22d4tralncqfnh2kmmarjkxk8449hwnk5xtqe3y5yry6hy7ytegqpp4mhxue69uhkyunz9e5k7tcpzemhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejz7wt5kvhr, @BTC Map, and @npub1m7r9...ny2w. We also discussed how Bitcoin Lightning makes merchant payment facilitation easier. Using @mempool we explored the Lightning Network, their role in the network, and how circular economies are driving Bitcoin adoption as a Medium of Exchange. Big thanks to @Destiny for the insightful session and BlessedDan for co-hosting! ➼ Can’t wait for the introduction to the technical side of Bitcoin on Wednesday. #BitcoinAfricaStory #BitcoinEducation cc: @My First Bitcoin
PoW⚡️: Bullish for Friday’s session! We continued Chapter 8 of the #Bitcoin Diploma and explored custodial and self-custodial Lightning wallets, their importance, differences, and a hands-on practical session on how to interact with both using @Blink Wallet and @Phoenix Wallet, including wallet recovery. We also encouraged students to explore other Lightning wallets that might suit their needs. To demonstrate the Lightning Network’s speed, we held a Lightning relay race where students passed sats using their Lightning wallets, from the first student to the last in Group A. It was exciting to see sats flowing back and forth—from students in Africa to Australia and beyond—with everyone actively participating. Big thanks to @Destiny for the insightful session and BlessedDan for co-hosting! ➼ Excited to wrap up Chapter 8 on Monday! #BitcoinAfricaStory #BitcoinEducation @Bitcoin Magazine 👀
