@DadaDevs @Su_Githaiga Mnashine wueh! Good work ladies 💪💯

Our WCW today shines the spotlight on Susan and Mercy, contributing to real Bitcoin projects used around the world. @Su_Githaiga has been shipping thoughtful improvements across major open source projects—from enhancing UX on the Bitcoin Dev Project to improving consistency and functionality on the @BtcpayServer Plugin Builder. @junearsenic7 journey has taken her deeper into Bitcoin infrastructure. She contributed to the Bitcoin Core Fee Rate project and is actively participating in Bitcoin Core PR reviews as she continues to grow within the codebase. These are the contributions that make open source thrive—thoughtful, consistent, and community-driven. PAYING IT FORWARD Now serving as Peer Leads for Dada Devs Cohort 4, Susan and Mercy are mentoring the next generation and strengthening the ecosystem through leadership and shared knowledge. The ecosystem grows stronger when those who learn, turn around and lead. We celebrate you, Susan and Mercy. 🧡 #POW #Dadadevs #opensource #btcpayserver #bitcoincore #bitcoindev

Attended Bitcoin Unconference 03 this weekend and had such a great time with the community @FlorenceM27118 @BitBiashara @Adelide_K . @MukunguFelix and the team at @thecore21m really outdid themselves with this one.

Big applause to @BitBiashara for the impactful work. BitBiashara is doing the work. Educating, empowering, and changing lives—one Bitcoin lesson at a time @StaceyBiko @Adelide_K

Bitbiashara NextGen space is back in session! Last holiday, we went all out with outdoor activities. This time? Short and focused. 3 weeks. Daily: 1 hour of activity 1 hour of #Bitcoin learning ⚡ Simple. Intentional. Consistent. We’re building the next generation.

The massive bitcoin adoption happening at @AfribitKibera is something you cannot overlook. From bodaboda riders to mama mbogas... It's a whole experience.

A resounding commendation to Linda the founder of bitsavers for delivering an exceptionally eloquent and intellectually stimulating presentation at the conference. Her articulation was both profound and seamlessly blending insight with clarity. @LindaKariu54810 @BitEduhub

Behind every strong Bitcoin community are people willing to pass knowledge forward. For Bitcoin Dada Cohort 10, these builders stepped in to teach, share, and strengthen the next wave of African women entering the Bitcoin ecosystem. Each session expanded the knowledge base and pushed the mission forward. Bitcoin education is real infrastructure. And this cohort was stronger because these builders showed up to contribute. Grateful to @marcelorraine, @jesse_hodl, @amizi, @femilonge, @ScottAWolfe, @IamMissNabs, @travelwbitcoin, @frankcorva and @StaceyBiko for lending their time and expertise to this cohort. Thank you for investing in the next generation of women building in Bitcoin. 🧡 #BitcoinDada #BitcoinEducation #BitcoinAfrica

@FlorenceM27118 I had a great time teaching this cohort too! and of course yapping away was always fun. Im glad you enjoyed the sessions!

The tutors were very knowledgeable and patient, breaking down technical concepts into something easy to understand, which made the learning process even more enjoyable. I especially loved the yaps from Stacey , they were engaging and relatable that stood out for me.

MY BITCOIN DADA EXPERIENCE Resilience defined the journey. Completion crowned it.

@Bitbiasharakids This means so much. Thank you!

@StaceyBiko good job

This experience has really sparked something in me, and I’m excited to see what the future holds and where this journey will lead. A big thank you to the founder, Marcel, for creating such a powerful and supportive space for women to learn, grow, and thrive in the Bitcoin space.

One of the most beautiful parts of this journey was the connections I made. I got to meet and make new friends, share ideas, and grow together, which made the experience even more special. I got to learn about Bitcoin Dada through BitBiashara, and I’m so grateful I took that step

I recently had the amazing opportunity to be part of the Bitcoin Dada — Cohort 10, and I can honestly say it was such a raw, insightful, and empowering journey for me. I truly enjoyed every moment of it and learnt so much along the way.

Over the weekend, the Dada Hub space hosted members of the Bitcoin Dada community for a practical session on peer-to-peer Bitcoin trading using @vexl. The focus was simple: hands-on learning, open discussion, and a chance for participants to explore how these tools work in practice. Dada Hub exists to support exactly this kind of engagement. It is a dedicated environment where communities working around Bitcoin, technology, and digital innovation can come together to learn, exchange ideas, and collaborate in a setting designed for focused work. As the hub continues to grow, we are looking to connect with organizations, collectives, and partners who are interested in using the space for workshops, learning sessions, and collaborative initiatives. If your community is exploring meaningful work in this space, we welcome the opportunity to collaborate. 📩 hello@dadahub.org #DadaHub #BitcoinDada #Vexl #BitcoinCommunity #Collaboration

@btc_dada @geyserfund Congratulations on the new space 🥳🥳🥳🥳

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!!!🎉🥁 For a long time, Dada Hub has lived in strategy documents, late-night planning calls, and the collective imagination of a community that believes Africa deserves Bitcoin-native infrastructure built with intention. Today, we are proud to announce the space is secured!! The setup is underway. What we are building is not simply a venue, but an operational backbone for Bitcoin-native talent, product thinking, and ecosystem execution. As our programs have expanded and the depth of builders emerging from Bitcoin Dada & @DadaDevs has increased, it became clear that we needed infrastructure that supports serious work, not just community gathering. The Hub is designed as an applied Bitcoin lab — a controlled environment where capital, talent, and technical thinking can converge. Rather than merely hosting sessions, it enables sustained engagement, disciplined experimentation, and ecosystem-grade execution. It is about creating the physical layer that supports long-term market participation, not just short-term programming. This is an intentional step toward sustainability and stronger ecosystem integration. We are thinking long-term: about talent pipelines, about institutional collaboration, and about how to make KENYA an undeniable node within the global #Bitcoin network. More details about the official launch will be shared soon. For partners, builders, and aligned institutions who understand that infrastructure precedes impact, you already know what this means. We are building with permanence in mind! 1/2

@thecore21m @GridlessCompute Such a cool preview!

BITCOIN MINING IN KENYA!!! 🇰🇪⚡️ We recently visited one of the @GridlessCompute #Bitcoin mining sites in Kenya, which stands as one of the largest mining operations in Africa! It was an incredible experience seeing firsthand how Bitcoin mining can be a force for good. During the visit, we explored how these mining machines are powered using Sisal Waste (Biomass). The process is a fascinating cycle of sustainability: Sisal Waste → Fire → Steam → Electricity.
