Good afternoon, everyone. We have an exciting update to share. The Nairobi conference is evolving. We are moving forward as an independent, Africa-led event under our own identity - the Bitcoin Nairobi Conference 2026. Same dates. Same venue. Same energy. Just a sharper, more locally rooted version of what we set out to build. This is a Bitcoin conversation designed for Africa, by Africa - real adoption, real policy, real economic impact. The acacia says it all. June 24 to 25. A.S.K. Dome, Nairobi. More details coming very shortly. Stay close.

India runs on UPI, which is a payment network connecting over 500 million consumers and 65 million merchants. To pay, you simply scan a QR code at the counter. With the 256D Mini App on Fedi, you can now do the same with bitcoin. Scan the UPI QR code, pay from your Fedi wallet, and the merchant receives rupees. Learn how it works: fedi.xyz/blog/256d-unlo…

Nairobi is leading the charge! 🇰🇪 If you want to see how Bitcoin is actually driving financial inclusion and reshaping our economy, you need to be at the Adopting Bitcoin Conference this June (24–25). Bitcoin isn't just a trend—it's a tool for a more open, borderless financial future for all of us. Come through, connect with the builders, and let’s figure out what’s next together. 🚀

Tanzania, the new AQUA update is built for you. 🇹🇿 We added a @chapsmart_tz tile to the AQUA marketplace. Tap it and ChapSmart opens right inside AQUA. Buy Bitcoin with M-Pesa, send money, and use ChapSmart's full platform without ever leaving your wallet!

Imagine scrapping everything and spending three years rebuilding an operating system from scratch because the old way of doing things is completely broken. That is exactly what the team at Start9 just did. In this Chat, Start9's CEO Matt Hill walked me through the absolute beast that is StartOS 0.4.0 and how their latest product - StartWRT - made networking feel like putting together Ikea furniture. We also went SUPER deep on privacy tech and navigating the world as AI takes over everything (and we mean literally EVERYTHING!). I know I always say this, but you really DO NOT want to miss this one!

@BitcoinMagazine @avihu28 what messes me up is the "SHOR" lol do they mean "Schnorr"?

JUST IN: Bitcoin developer Avihu Levy introduces "Quantum-Safe Bitcoin Transactions Without Softforks" 👀

This is the deep synergy you should expect when you come to Kenya in June. 🇰🇪⚡️ See you at @adoptingbtc_nbo.

Hello everyone 👋 I’m proud to have completed the @HRF Bitcoin webinar and received my certificate. Huge thanks to the amazing team for spreading impactful Bitcoin education across Africa and beyond. Your proof of work truly inspires! #Bitcoin #HRF #BitcoinAfrica #Financial

As you walk into #BitcoinUnconference03 you’ll notice something different. Across the room you’ll find Bitsavers EduHub, @tando_me , @Bitbihashara, and @bitika_KE @MyFirstBitcoin_ @thecore21m @Satoshi53_ @schoolOfSatoshi @BtcBabies are each playing their part—teaching, building, and showing what Bitcoin looks like in real life. Different paths. Different stories. One shared direction. There’s no noise here. No rivalry . Just people focused on the work that matters. And somewhere between the conversations, the learning, and the connections… you begin to see it clearly: This is how #Bitcoin in Kenya is actually growing.

Thank you @thecore21m for giving us an opportunity to speak at today's Unconference in Nairobi, Kenya. 🇰🇪 Huge shoutout to our co-founder and Head of Operations, @nomburage, for talking about what we do at Minmo. ⚡🔥

within a single generation we got - 24/7 internet in our hands (smartphones) - decentralized open-source money (bitcoin) - general purpose AI for everyone (agents) what a crazy time to be alive

🇹🇿 High remittance fees quietly drain money from people who can least afford to lose it. @chapsmart_tz, uses #bitcoin & lightning to move money across borders more cheaply. With HRF’s support, families & human rights defenders can keep more of what is sent to them.

Bitcoin is more approachable when it comes from someone you trust. @minmo_to gives community leaders the tools to be Bitcoin agents and bring them directly to you on Fedi. Learn more about the Minmo Mini App on Fedi (link in the thread)

"Fedi is like a community bank." @Silatoshi_id, cofounder of Bitcoin Indonesia (@bitcoinindo21), discusses how having trustworthy community leaders/fedimint guardians is a key prerequisite to building circular bitcoin economies. Full story on Bitcoin Indonesia next week 👀

"Even though they talk about self-reliance, actually it's got some of the strongest community aspects I've ever seen." @obi explains why bitcoin people are cool.

Africa Community Master @Modibe_ represented Fedi in #Zambia this week at #LibertyConAfrica2026. Here he is with the team from @tando_me (now a Fedi Mini App, btw!) and @LindaKariu54810 of @AfricanSFL and @BitEduhub! Strong work, team!
