@marcelorraine @btc_dada Up up 🎊

Every time we tell the story of another woman building in Bitcoin, we challenge the narrative of who belongs in this ecosystem. Visibility creates possibility. I'm proud that @btc_dada is helping document these stories and I know there are many more still to be written. 🧡 #bitcoin

Let’s do tech matching, shall we?🌝 Introduce yourself and what you’re currently learning 👨🏽‍💻👩🏽‍💻

Saw a LinkedIn video that said, “Post your progress.” So here’s mine. 😊 Finally collected my Hardware Maintenance certificate from New Horizons. Better late than never! Every new skill is another step forward. 💙 #ContinuousLearning #ComputerEngineering

It’s official (well… it’s been official since January, but who’s counting? 😅) Say hello to a Nexford University MBA graduate! I know, I know… I'm a little late sharing this. Life happened. But better late than never, right? Over the course of the program, I completed 15 courses, submitted 90+ assignments, and delivered countless presentations (complete with embedded videos where I got to present my research and ideas). Balancing a full-time program lead role during the day with classes and assignments at night wasn't always easy. There were weeks I genuinely don't know how I made it through, but somehow, I did. I'm incredibly grateful for the journey, the lessons, and the growth that came with it. Here's to new milestones and whatever comes next. And before anyone asks... a PhD? No, thank you. 😅

In the last few years, 250+ African women have chosen to bet on themselves through Dada Devs. Today, they’re building on Bitcoin, contributing to open-source projects, collaborating with global teams, and creating solutions that matter across 13+ African countries.  Every cohort starts with a simple decision to apply. Cohort 5 is your opportunity to learn, build, and grow alongside a community that’s shaping the future of Bitcoin in Africa. A few months from now, you’ll either be watching the next cohort’s journey… or you’ll be part of it. 🧡 Applications for Dada Devs Cohort 5 are now open. 🔗 Apply through the link in our bio or with the link below: forms.gle/gM8PHoKeQQsJJV… #DadaDevs #WomenInBitcoin #BuildOnBitcoin #BitcoinDevelopers #OpenSource

Plot twist: Kenya did make the Bitcoin World Cup. 😄🇰🇪⚽️ Huge thanks to @geyserfund for featuring our founder @marcelorraine as Kenya's Bitcoin captain. We'll keep building, teaching, and growing the Bitcoin movement, one orange pill at a time. 🧡⚡

The foundation for what we’re building today. ⚡⚡⚡

1st Position Winner: @ghostKeybtc Team: @jolah99 GitHub: github.com/Jolah1/ghostKey Live app: ghostkeyapp.vercel.app GhostKey is a non-custodial bitcoin inheritance tool built around a dead man’s switch. It lets a bitcoin holder name an heir, set a check-in period, and keep control of their funds during their lifetime. If the owner stops checking in, the heir receives a claim link and can collect the bitcoin directly. Read the full blog post here: blog.evento.so/hack4freedom-l… #hack4freedom

Another cohort in the books! 🦀🎉 Today, we officially wrapped up the first Rust for Bitcoiners cohort of 2026, making it the second pathway cohort to conclude this week. Over the past six weeks, participants have explored Rust through the lens of Bitcoin development, building practical skills while learning core programming concepts, memory safety, ownership, and writing performant code for Bitcoin applications. With the live sessions now behind them, the final stage begins: completing their capstone projects. Once those are submitted, the evaluation process will begin ahead of graduation.

Happy New Month fam May the odds be in our favor this month. Wishing y’all the best ❤️

We just wrapped up the week 3 study group session of the Mastering Bitcoin live cohort. ⚡ This week, participants explored wallet recovery and transactions. The cohort examined how modern bitcoin wallets generate and recover keys, the role of recovery seeds and backups, and why proper wallet recovery is critical to securing bitcoin over the long term. They also dove into bitcoin transactions, learning how value moves across the network, how transactions are structured, and the key components that make them valid and secure. Through partner discussions, breakout sessions, and group conversations, participants unpacked these concepts together, shared insights from the readings, and connected the theory to real-world bitcoin usage.

Code: github.com/Jolah1/ghostKey Site: ghostkeyapp.com Curious how others here think about Bitcoin inheritance and long-term self-custody.

Today, we're celebrating two incredible members of our community who finished in the top three at the @AiKenya1 over the weekend, organized by @AiKenya1, @DirectEdDev, and Mercy corps. 🧡 Out of 48 teams that advanced to the final hackathon sprint, @Ms_Wanjiku15 and her team emerged as overall winners with KaLi (Kenya Agri-lending Intelligence), a platform that helps financiers make smarter lending decisions by looking beyond collateral and understanding the farmer. Coming in third place was @TheeNerdd and her team with SokoSense, an AI-powered SMS solution that transforms complex market and agricultural data into simple, actionable recommendations for farmers on any phone. We're incredibly proud of @Ms_Wanjiku15 and @TheeNerdd, not just for the recognition, but for believing in their ideas, putting their skills to the test, and building solutions that solve real problems. Congratulations to both teams, and to @AiKenya1, @DirectEdDev, and Mercy corps for creating a platform that continues to spotlight innovation and emerging talent. Here's to many more women stepping forward, building boldly, and reminding themselves of what's possible. #BitcoinDada #WomenInTech #WomenWhoBuild #KenyaAIChallenge #ArtificialIntelligence #Innovation #AfricaTech #Community

Guys we WON 😭🏆 It still fell unreal! My team and I won the Social Impact Award at the @usaiinstitute USAII Global AI Hackathon 2026 with SafeAid — building AI that actually helps people where it matters most. From signing up excited to shipping something meaningful… the journey was everything! Grateful to do this with my teammate @ibrahim_ashiah Big thanks to the organizers, mentors & judges for an unforgettable experience. Proud to represent on the global stage. #USAII #AIHackathon #SocialImpact #HackathonWin #NigeriaTech

Still feels surreal🏆 Congratulations to me and my teammate @emmaskyrem 🚀 Our team won the Social Impact category at the @usaiinstitute USAII Hackathon with SAFEAID! Huge shoutout to the organizers, mentors, and judges for making this experience unforgettable. #hackathon

Africa is not waiting for the future of bitcoin to be built elsewhere, we're building it ourselves.🚀 That was one of the strongest themes throughout the inaugural @btcnairobi_conf 🇰🇪, a gathering of developers, educators, entrepreneurs, community leaders, policymakers, and builders working to strengthen bitcoin adoption and innovation across the continent. We're proud that some members of the Btrust community contributed to these important conversations.

Can AI help Bitcoin open-source development without compromising the principles that make Bitcoin resilient? On the main stage, @kelvinator05 is exploring how AI is reshaping open-source development, where it adds real value, where caution is needed, and the responsible practices contributors should adopt when building for Bitcoin.

Every startup has an origin story. Ours started with a question: “this is supposed to be the future?” A Lagos merchant got paid in Bitcoin for the first time. What should have been simple wasn’t. She needed: • 3 different apps • A YouTube tutorial •Learning Technical Terms 1/

The biggest barrier to Bitcoin adoption isn't Bitcoin. It's complexity. This story explains why we're building Zappr ⚡👇

@FreeRoutingAf "Today you've joined as A Dada," and I said, "Of course... " After doing my first hands-on, I had the chance to take my peers through it again. It's always amazing to learn, share, and learn more during the process, too.
