Bitbiashara Nextgen space

In August 2025, during the school holidays, a 16‑year‑old boy lost his life at the hands of his own peers, boys who should have been his friends. Kids who were idle, unattended, and pulled into drugs and gangs because no one was guiding them. This is our community problem!

Kibera is a preview. Hundreds of millions live in cash-based economies with no formal bank access. @Vivianna_ki and I just documented how the @AfribitKibera community leapfrogged straight to permissionless money. Enjoy the trailer: x.com/m3av3/status/2… Full doc on YouTube

Bread as a store of value; tested, ruled out, and eaten. 🧡 Bitcoin for Juniors gives educators a foundation, and communities like @Bitbiasharakids know exactly how to make it land. A grandma's shilling from the 1980s hits different than any textbook paragraph. This is what open-source education is for. We love to see the good work you are doing @RMurathime ⚡

The goal of introducing money education to kids is simple: give them the understanding our generation never got at their age. A 9-year-old explained what money is, what it can do, what it can be, and even recognised Bitcoin as a form of money... that's proof it's working. 🧡

@MyFirstBitcoin_ One child shouted, "One balloon!" Simple conversations like these help kids understand purchasing power and why storing the value of your hard work properly matters. We're happy with where we are. ₿

Yesterday in our @MyFirstBitcoin_ Bitcoin for Juniors class, we explored what makes a good store of value. We explored bread and ruled it out... so we ate it. 😅🍞 Then we asked: If a grandma saved KSh 1 she earned in the 1980s and spent it in 2026, what could it buy?

The best part? They weren't just memorizing definitions—they were thinking. We're happy with where we are, one lesson at a time. ₿

"What if she had saved that KSh 1 and tried to spend it in 2026?" One of the kids immediately shouted, "It can only buy one balloon!" That simple answer means they understand. They know.

Bitcoin has given a lot of people meaning and purpose. “We’re building a better world with Bitcoin.” And there's nothing wrong with that. It becomes dangerous however when it also gives them an identity. You are not Bitcoin. And, there are more important things in life.

@AfriBitcoinNews @MyFirstBitcoin_ @HRF @BitcoinNews 🙏 so many incredible stories in East Africa. Thank you for sharing

Bitcoin for Juniors classes are back! After taking a short break to prepare for our gymnastics skits, we spent this weekend revisiting where we had left offand we're happy to report that we still remember a lot! The excitement is back, and so is the learning. #BitcoinForJuniors

Yesterday's Coffee Hangout was all about reflection and debriefing after the recent @btcnairobi_conf experience. We shared what we learned, how we felt going in, and how we came out on the other side. One member said their limiting mindset is gone. Another shared that they arrived with anxiety but found the energy and welcome so overwhelming that they quickly felt at home. Someone else realized just how much work our community still has ahead of us if we are to grow even further. As for our founder, one lesson stood out above all: unlike traditional financial systems, Bitcoin doesn't care about your background, status, education, or who you know. It meets everyone equally. We also spent some time testing the updated @blinkbtc . The new receipt feature is really cool and makes transactions feel more tangible and easier to share. But one question came up almost immediately from our community: where do we find the transaction history? Sometimes the greatest value of attending a conference isn't what happens on stage—it's the transformation, conversations, and questions that continue long after we get back home.

We live in communities where children are chased from the compounds they call home and told to go play on the streets. But if children are too noisy for our compounds and the streets are too dangerous, where exactly are they supposed to go? Safe Play is a child's right.

You've been asking about Bitcoin... now it's here! We're officially launching our first online Bitcoin class. Join us and learn Bitcoin from the ground up. Reach out😊🧡 @BitBiashara @MyFirstBitcoin_

Kids learning Bitcoin, with printed materials, paid for in sats. ⚡ This is exactly why we made Bitcoin for Juniors free and open-source.

This is what Bitcoin education looks like when it takes root in a community Spelling Bees, indigenous games, and a new @MyFirstBitcoin_ Diploma cohort starting in August, @BitcoinEkasi is building something impactful and valuable. The future is in good hands. 🧡⚡

@btcnairobi_conf @bitika_KE If you'd like to be part of this journey and help us create more opportunities for these children, you can support us here geyser.fund/project/bitbia…

@btcnairobi_conf These kids train in a parking lot, with no guarantees and no big stage in sight. Yet Bitcoin gave them a platform , a global platform. And @bitika_KE made sure they showed up looking their best by donating the Tshirts they wore that day.

Our kids performing @btcnairobi_conf was one of the the most humbling moments for us. It was proof of what's possible when children are given a safe space, consistency, and the opportunity to be seen.
