#BitcoinOnly Project || Facilitating Bitcoin Adoption through Education, Onboarding, Content, and More || Showcasing Our Proof-of-Work ⚡️

We just wrapped up our session at the Youth Program with Altar of Mercy Ministries 🙌🏾

We introduced Bitcoin by first addressing the real problems — then showed how it’s already offering practical solutions for youths across Africa and invited them to join the Movement.

Due to bad weather and time constraints, we couldn’t cover everything 💛

We keep building ⚡️

A powerful and inspiring experience.

Photos & more updates dropping soon!

A few moments ago, I was in a brief chat with one of our students. He sent this, and it genuinely moved me. ❤️

We haven’t even completed this cohort yet, and feedback like this reminds me why we started Bitcoin Africa Story in the first place.

We’re not playing. We’re building.

There are so many more stories like this — even from past cohorts — that we haven’t shared yet.

But I will. Because people need to see the impact Bitcoin education is having.

This is deeper than a program.

It’s real work. Real lives.

Everyone will take from this what they need.

Whether it inspires you to learn, support, or simply reflect, that’s enough for me. ⚡🧡

🚨 WE BOUGHT OUR FIRST DOMAIN WITH BITCOIN! 🌐⚡

➤ No banks

➤ No stress

➤ Just #Bitcoin via the Lightning Network

We used Namecheap and funded it with Bitcoin through Bitpay.

The moment + the feeling? Captured right here 🎥

This is Bitcoin being used as money — simple, fast, and borderless.

Our scheduled guest, Nzonda (BitcoinSophist), couldn’t make it due to unforeseen circumstances, but we’ll be rescheduling his session for next week — stay tuned!

✨ That said, the conversation still turned out to be incredibly impactful thanks to @bosunoyeleke, one of our standout Cohort 3 alumni, who stepped in and shared:

🎶 His journey uploading 10 Bitcoin-themed songs to Wavlake

🤖 How AI is helping him merge Bitcoin education with music

🔐 His work building a self-custody Bitcoin wallet tailored for Africa

🚗 His bold idea to launch a Bitcoin-powered ride-sharing platform (think Bitcoin Uber)

📚 His continued commitment to Bitcoin learning and adoption

Bosun reminded us that Bitcoin is more than just money — it’s a tool for creative expression, economic empowerment, and innovation in the Global South.

Still early. Imagine what "late" looks like…

1 BTC = $1T

By 2140, miners will rely mainly on transaction fees.

The future? Hard to imagine.
