🔥 Day 4 of #Hack4Freedom Lagos with @_Satoshee Lead Designer at @afribitcoiners. A masterclass in Bitcoin's monetary design and why designers hold the key to adoption. Key takeaways: 🔹 1M Naira saved in 2011 = 115K Naira today. Bitcoin protects against inflation. 🔹 Bitcoin is pseudonymous, not anonymous – debunking myths. 🔹 Mood boarding + conceptual thinking = better Bitcoin products.

@Flenzo_Q Here: 🍕 bit+🪙 You’re welcome 🙏🏽😂

@jolah99 Send me Pizza / Bitcoin..🙄

Happy pizza day! 🎊🎊🎊

Happy Bitcoin Pizza Day! 🍕 On this day in 2010 Laszlo Hanyecz traded 10,000 bitcoins for 2 pizzas! It may seem wild to think about now but had it not been for people like him that were willing to use bitcoin as a medium of exchange we may not be able to transact with bitcoin the way we can today. What’s the first thing you ever bought with bitcoin? If you’ve never spent your bitcoin, get a pizza today! It’s is a nice way to honor Laszlo and makes for an unforgettable first transaction 🙂🍕

Amazing @hack4_freedom session today with @WitDeJesse from @Breez_Tech ⚡️ He vibe coded a trivia game using the Breez / @spark SDK in just a few minutes! Magic 🪄🎩🐰

As we wind down this year's BOSS Challenge, there have been a number of really cool projects to come out of the program. Check them out and show these builders some love!

@StephTitcombe 🔥🔥

Great space! 🔥

Last week at @hack4_freedom Lagos, I gave a keynote sharing six lessons from my journey into Bitcoin and technology, from volunteering and taking unpaid opportunities to eventually leading Bitcoin education and open-source initiatives across the Global South at @btrustteam and @btrust_builders. I spoke about: • Saying yes before I felt ready • Building things nobody asked me to build • How some of the biggest opportunities come through people and community • The power of consistency, curiosity, and showing up

@Camilla_rhi software developer and a @btrustteam Grant Recipient held a technical workshop for Day 2 & 3 where she taught the hackers on How Lightning Payments work under the hood. 🔹 Payment channels – fund once, transact infinitely off-chain 🔹 HTLCs – hash + time locks = no trust needed 🔹 BOLT11 invoices – self-contained payment requests 🔹 Pathfinding – sender computes the route Live demo: real Lightning payment. Instant settle.

Curious about contributing to Bitcoin open source projects? Join us this evening as we celebrate the Q1 Builders Pathway cohorts and explore what it takes to get started in the Bitcoin open-source ecosystem. 🎉 Set a reminder here: x.com/i/spaces/1dxYl… See you there! ⚡

4 years ago, we started with one belief: Web3 should be built by Africans, not just consumed by us. Today, that belief is a movement. Grateful for every builder, mentor, sponsor, and partner who showed up. This is only the beginning. Onward!

It's never too late! A creator, a developer, a designer. Prompt engineer, whatever it is. It's never too late, even for newbies. Someone shared something with me right now and I'm blown away.

Hack4Freedom Lagos, Day 1 ⚡️ The team is here and the building has already started. Two weeks of learning, coding, and shipping open-source prototypes built on freedom tech at the finish. Powered by @evento_so @btrustteam @SoapboxTech @Breez_Tech 🫶

Hack4Freedom Lagos kicks off tomorrow 💃

The first pathways of 2026 are officially wrapped up, and it’s been incredible to see how much this community has grown. 🚀 Over March and April, 265 developers from 24 countries took part in Mastering Bitcoin and Bitcoin CLI; learning together, helping each other, and working through some truly deep technical material. By the end of the cohorts, 37 participants graduated from the live tracks, with many more continuing their journey through the self‑paced pathways. We’ve put together a full recap of what happened this quarter and what’s coming next for the Builders community. Read the full update here: x.com/btrust_builder…
