As we step into a new phase, we’re restructuring the Bitcoin Africa Story team. Over the past months, we’ve learned what works, what doesn’t, and where we need more focus. To move forward sustainably, we’re refining roles, strengthening coordination, and aligning our team around what matters most: grassroots Bitcoin education, real adoption, and African stories that show proof-of-work in action. More updates soon. Thank you for building with us 🧡

We’re stepping into the new year with big plans, new stories, and important announcements ahead. Focused on Bitcoin education, real adoption, and proof-of-work across Africa 🌍 More coming soon... Stay tuned!

Bitcoin Africa Story isn’t just a project. It’s a community-driven movement, thriving because of people like you. Here’s to a 2026 filled with: • More Bitcoin education and adoption • More grassroots impact • More collaboration, less friction • Stronger communities Thank you for being part of our journey. Together, let’s keep building the Bitcoin circular economy across Africa.

Uploading our PoWs and notes on Nostr has been… difficult 🤯 It’s clear we need an upgrade.

We’ve been building silently 🤫 Something new from Bitcoin Africa Story is on the way: designed to drive Bitcoin adoption across Africa in a truly unique way. Any guesses what it might be? 👀

Proof-of-Work is the cheatcode!
