the @base58school Work(shop) game i invented a few years ago is hands down the best way to learn about how bitcoin works. it's effective and inspiring and it changes the game for everyone who participates in one

One of my biggest takeaways from the @btc_dada journey has been the power of learning by doing.
The LARP session transformed concepts like hashing, mining, and block creation from theory into a practical experience.
A valuable step in my blockchain learning journey.

Across the two days, participants took part in technical presentations, thoughtful discussions, and the interactive @base58school LARP, making for an engaging and collaborative learning experience.

Learning doesn’t always have to happen behind a screen, in a classroom, or through endless slides.
Sometimes, the best way to understand Bitcoin is to become the network itself.
Last Saturday at the DadaHub, our Dadas stepped into the Bitcoin protocol through a Live Action Role Play (LARP) session led by our founder, @marcelorraine, in collaboration with @base58school and @niftynei.
And what started as a learning exercise quickly became something much bigger.
There were moments of intense concentration as teams raced to verify transactions, protect the network, and outsmart each other. There were moments of fierce competition too. At one point, the room felt less like a workshop and more like a championship final. Nobody wanted to lose.
(Although rumours suggest the real motivation may have been avoiding a certain karaoke performance after the session. 😭)
But that’s the magic of experiences like these.
People arrived to learn Bitcoin. They left understanding it.
Not because they memorised definitions, but because they experienced the protocol in action.
The laughter was constant. The debates were loud. The strategy sessions were serious. And somewhere between acting as nodes, miners, and wallets, abstract concepts suddenly became real.
And because Bitcoin is ultimately about people, not just technology, we ended the day sharing something equally important: our stories.
From our tribal showcase, where Dadas introduced each other to the beauty and uniqueness of their cultures, to a karaoke session that proved enthusiasm is far more important than vocal talent, the day reminded us that community is built in moments like these.
Moments where strangers become friends.
Where learning becomes memorable.
Where women interested in Bitcoin realise they are part of something bigger than themselves.
This is what Bitcoin Dada has always been about.
Not just education.
Belonging.
Here’s a short recap of how the day went down. 💛
And if you missed this one... let's just say you’ll want to be at the next LARP session.
Photos coming soon, so stick around.

After the discussion about inputs, output and miner fees during our last facilitator training, I realized we needed a graphics revision!
Playing as a node offers everyone the opportunity for perspective that we don't usually have (as users/humans).

Had an amazing time leading our first-ever LARP by @base58 session and possibly the first independently hosted one on the continent!
On Saturday was fun…ish 😬
Under the @btc_dada umbrella, we hosted our first ever LARP workshop, led by our founder @marcelorraine
Of course, we had to first refresh our minds on how the Bitcoin protocol works before diving into the game.
Then came the real fun, 25 students from Bitcoin Dada and @DadaDevs took on the challenge. Creating and validating transactions wasn’t as tough as finding a block! ...

Bitcoin LARP🫡. @btc_dada held a base58 LARP session and ain't it surreal role playing as a Bitcoin node. The brain juices being squeezed out in the room, wueh. Creating valid blocks with coinbase transactions, creating valid tx commitments from all transactions in the block...

Replying to @marcelorraine
@marcelorraine took us through this singlehandedly, such a powerhouse.
Anyway, you can ask me all about how secure your bitcoin transactions are, and why thanks to this @base58btc LARP session

Last week, I was in Nashville ahead of the Global Bitcoin Summit, where I had the incredible opportunity to attend the @base58btc LARP training by @niftynei an immersive, hands-on Bitcoin protocol simulation hosted at the @BitcoinMagazine HQ. ⚙️
The experience was intense, technical, and eye-opening diving deep into how Bitcoin really works under the hood, surrounded by some of the most dedicated builders in the space.
Programs like these strengthen my mission through @btc_dada & @DadaDevs to help African dadas & the developers gain the skills, confidence, and technical grounding to contribute to the ecosystem and open-source innovation.
Forever learning. Forever building. ⚡
