Day 1 of the Addis Ababa Lightning Developer Bootcamp is in the books. 🇪🇹⚡ Today, our instructor, @Extheo, took participants through the foundations of Bitcoin, starting with the evolution of money, why Bitcoin exists, and the problems it was designed to solve. We explored: • The Bitcoin White Paper • The double spend problem • Blockchain fundamentals • Mining • Transactions and validation • Bitcoin halving In the afternoon, we got hands on by installing the latest version of Bitcoin Core binary release from GitHub and testing RPC commands to interact with a Bitcoin node. Tomorrow, we'll continue with more practical sessions, diving into wallet operations and building on today's foundation. A huge thank you to our sponsors and partners for making this bootcamp possible: @HRF , @btrustteam , @Tether_Africa , @planb_network , @afribitcoiners , and @BitDevsAddis .
