We had a great final session for Chapter II: What is Money? tonight! We covered the essential properties of money, which include durability, portability, fungibility, acceptability, scarcity, and divisibility. We also discussed the different types of money and finished by looking at the psychology of money: scarcity, time preference, and opportunity cost. It is always a good experience to discuss this kind of content, as it sets up the perfect introduction to #Bitcoin. The session was successfully led by @Felix

We’ve hit our initial target of 10 merchants! 🥳 This milestone is key as we fully roll out phases 2 and 3 of our project. Over the weekend, we added two great merchants: Neil’s Nails Shop and Elijah, a local Boda-boda rider! It was cool to use #bitcoin for project expenses! We paid our 3rd-ever onboarded merchant for "cyber services" (stickers) and then used those to help the two newest merchants set up their businesses to accept #Bitcoin. That's a circular economy in action! Let’s welcome Niels Nails Shop and Elijah (our new Boda-boda rider) to the network! Show your support by zapping them Sats nielnails@blink.sv & elijahndungu814@blink.sv We appreciate the entire team’s effort in building this Bitcoin-powered community!

MEETUP #005 WAS A SUCCESS! One thing is clear across all our meetups in Kenya 🇰🇪: Education is the leading indicator to mass #Bitcoin adoption. Thank you to npub13ljnkd633c7maxatymv3y2fqq8vt3qk7j3tt0vytv90eztwgha9qmfcfhw and @ TrezorAcademy for supporting our monthly meetups and mission. The young people in Thika were excited to learn Bitcoin the right way, and we're happy to keep raising awareness to drive adoption. Here’s a look at how it went down! ⬇️ @Felix led a fantastic introductory session, covering the History of Money, the basics of Bitcoin, how to use it, and why it matters. His engaging, practical activities kept the energy high throughout the entire session! ⚡️ Attendees were set up on @Blockstream App , for an on-chain transaction demonstration. They learned the critical importance of safely backing up seed phrases. We watched one transaction move through the @mempool until it was confirmed, showing just how transparent the #Bitcoin ledger is. Next, we used @Blink Wallet for a Lightning transaction demo. With the help of The Core Team, 1,000 sats were passed from the first attendee to the last. This was a clear, practical way to show the difference between on-chain and Lightning transactions—fast and cheap! Chris took time to help everyone know how to set up @Trezor Safe 3 hardware wallets. He covered wallet recovery and explained the vital importance of cold storage for securing your #Bitcoin for the long term. @Felix demonstrated that #Bitcoin mining is a game of random guesses using @npub1337x...pkdt 's resource

. It was a lot of fun! Three lucky winners walked away with 706 sats each Finally, we showed attendees how easy it is to use Bitcoin in Kenya. We introduced @Tando.me and @Bitika to demonstrate buying #Bitcoin with M-PESA and then spending it with Tando using a Lightning wallet wherever M-PESA is used 🇰🇪🙌 We sent 500 sats to @Bitcoin Africa Story using @Geyser !This was a great demonstration of how #Bitcoin is a powerful tool for empowering and funding emerging projects globally. 🌍 We appreciate everyone who attended and The Core Team for making this meetup a success! We look forward to seeing you at the next . Bitcoin For Everyone. Want to be part of the next online group? You can still enrol in our ongoing intake, Cohort 9, which is the last one for 2025!

The session yesterday on the introduction to the technical side of #Bitcoin was great. We appreciate our guest educator, npub1337xxyne0pw52zgd984xqqs2q7qhqpt7phhn7xp6t9yt406vrvescdpkdt ,for accepting our invitation to lead the session for Chapter 9 of the #Bitcoin Diploma. We learned about public key cryptography and how digital signatures are key to proving ownership on the #Bitcoin network, as well as the role of hashing. It was also wonderful to have students participate in a miner's game using D++'s resources :

to demonstrate how mining is done. Congratulations to the three student winners—Joy, Eugene, and Esther—who each received 1,000 sats from D++. This session was co-hosted by npub1hn2tyd9284u5a3h75mkemkfu6nt9y23j685646wwm34dte38c43sx7zppr We look forward to completing the course with Cohort 8 next week🥳
