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?

🎬 Weekend Watch: Bitcoin Season Looking for something to watch this weekend that could change the way you think about Bitcoin? Bitcoin Season is a powerful new feature documentary from award-winning filmmaker Mike Nicoll, following @Swan Bitcoin's mission to bring Bitcoin into the world of professional basketball. From a first-of-its-kind NBA partnership with the Cleveland Cavaliers to Klutch Sports, one of the most influential player agencies in the game, this is Bitcoin finding its way into culture, one arena at a time. Whether you're new to Bitcoin or already a believer, this is a compelling watch. Watch here: youtube.com/watch?v=vaHDsO… At Africa Bitcoin Corporation, we believe Bitcoin isn't just an asset, it's a tool for financial empowerment. Films like this remind us why the story matters. Africa. Bitcoin. Impact. #Bitcoin #BitcoinSeason #SwanBitcoin #WeekendWatch #AfricanBitcoinCorporation #BitcoinEducation #BitcoinCulture

One question from @btcnairobi_conf Day 2 of the the conference stayed with us: "What is the end goal of Bitcoin and everything being built with it, on it, or around it?" Our answer: The end goal isn't to build more apps, wallets, or companies. It's to build a world where people have more freedom, more choices, and more control over the value they create. Bitcoin is the foundation. Building with it creates products and services people can use. Building on it improves the technology itself. Building around it creates communities, education, and circular economies that make Bitcoin useful in everyday life. If all this building doesn't ultimately help real people save, earn, transact, coordinate, and thrive more freely, then we've missed the point. For us at Bitbiashara, the end goal has never been Bitcoin adoption for its own sake. It's using Bitcoin as a tool to create opportunity, dignity, and stronger communities. 🧡

@SafaricomPLC will steal from you and call you to gaslight you. Now they’re claiming I am subscribed to some gaming service that they can’t prove it has delivered any service to me. I have also consumed data without connecting to their broadband 🙆‍♂️

One unexpected highlight was an impromptu visit to the @GridlessCompute offices. As fellow tenants at @NodeNBO, the team welcomed us into their space, where @whiteafrican walked the grantees through some of the work they're doing to help decentralize bitcoin mining through their mining operations across Africa. It sparked great conversations around energy, infrastructure, and the role African builders can play in strengthening the bitcoin ecosystem.

Japan has confirmed that construction of the Sh85 billion Mombasa Gate Bridge will begin under its Official Development Assistance programme. The 1.4km bridge will replace the Likoni Ferry with a permanent four-lane road link connecting Mombasa Island and the South Coast

Why has #Kenya emerged as one of #East #Africa’s most influential states despite lacking the region’s largest population or strongest military? My latest article argues that Kenya’s regional influence is built not simply on economic growth, but on its ability to organise finance, logistics, technology, and institutions into a system that increasingly shapes #East #Africa.

True, however this isn’t the reason for the fall in remittances.

Most remittances to Kenya come from first-generation migrants born in Kenya. As ties weaken across generations, second- and third-generation descendants tend to send less money home - a gradual decline in family and cultural connections with their relatives in Kenya.
