Bitcoin Meetup happening in Ikorodu! 🇳🇬

"The arrangement a family or a savings club already has, written down in script instead of trust." That's how @Machankura8333 describes Bennu, its new experimental Bitcoin wallet that runs through an end-to-end encrypted group chat. 🔐 A group makes its key in pieces on members' phones. No server or single phone holds the whole key, and a set number of members must agree before any coin moves. Groups can create subgroups and guard their wallets. Lightning channels use ICEBERG threshold signing, capped at 1 million sats for now. Built by @440UrPp. Keep to amounts you wouldn't mind losing. Check the first comment to read the full story. 👇

A year ago, Bitcoin Africa Story was initiated. Today, we celebrate the impact we’ve made, the friendships we’ve built, and the knowledge we’ve shared. From online cohorts to engaging meetup and activities, from educating individuals to empowering new Bitcoiners—we’re just getting started! A huge thank you to our community, supporters, and everyone who believes in Bitcoin education. Here’s to many more years of growth, adoption, and financial empowerment! Let’s keep building! ⚡ Bitcoin is EMPOWERMENT.

In December 2025, leaders of more than a dozen Bitcoin circular economies across Africa sat in one room for the first time. Each had taken the model @Bitcoinbeach started in El Zonte, El Salvador, and adapted it to their own community. Bitcoin Beach's report names 15 projects from nine countries, including Bitcoin Ekasi (@BitcoinEkasi) in a Mossel Bay township, Afribit Kibera (@afribitkibera) in Nairobi and BTC Shule (@btcshule) in a village in Burundi. They met in Mauritius because visa, travel and financial barriers keep many African builders out of global Bitcoin events. @zackdorseyx filmed it. The clips are coming out now, including @thecoachayobami of @BitKwaofficial and @BrindonMwiine of @BitcoinKampala. Next stop: the Global Bitcoin Circular Economies Summit in El Zonte, November 19 and 20, open to the public for the first time. Check the first comment to read the full story. 👇

A wrapped car is driving from Lagos to Dakar, stopping at markets to set people up on Bitcoin. That's Sats On The Road, run by @BitKwaofficial. At every stop the crew installs non-custodial wallets, onboards merchants to Lightning, and trains a local educator to keep it going after the car leaves. Phase 1 is done: 3,000 km through Benin, Togo, and Burkina Faso, 20+ merchants on Lightning, 22 educators trained. In Cotonou they set up a wallet for Aïcha, a fabric seller, on a five-year-old Android and paid her in sats for two metres of wax print. Her words: "It's the first money I own without a bank's permission." Full story in the comments 👇

Most of the Bitcoin-in-Africa conversation is Anglophone. At Bitcoin Mastermind we were blown away by how quietly Francophone Africa is building its own revolution. Bitcoin Mastermind (@btcmastermind_) ran its sixth edition in Cotonou, Benin. Three days, one rule: Bitcoin only, no altcoins. A dev day, adoption panels, a hackathon final, and the Benin culture experience. Founded by @Loicbtc and @mehounme, two of the earliest Bitcoin builders in the country. Same team behind @btcflashxyz, a gateway that lets anyone accept and use Bitcoin, and @BitcoinBenin, the community that runs it. Here's what stuck with me. In a region tied to the CFA franc, Bitcoin isn't a bet. It's a savings tool, a remittance rail, a way to build without waiting on Paris or Brussels to sign off. Shoutout to the communities present at Bitcoin Mastermind 2026. It was amazing to connect with y'all: @HopeWithBTC, @Bitcoin_Burkina, @BitcoinAnambra, @Togo_Bitcoin, Satoshi Coffee, @btcafriquefr, @citrusrate, @KidsBitcoin, and builders like @BouhariMou2199 and many others. Francophone Africa is building its own Bitcoin infrastructure.

📢 This is not a call for no rules ❗️❗️ It is a call for Bitcoin and crypto to be treated like any other payment rail. Support better policy before 30 Sept: catastrophe.co.za

@BTCsessions has released a walkthrough showing how COLDCARD users can safely migrate their seed using dice rolls if another hardware wallet isn't available. Bitcoin is about self-custody, but it's also about helping one another. Share this with anyone who might need it.
