Today marks Bitcoin Pizza Day! On May 22, 2010, Laszlo Hanyecz made history by demonstrating Bitcoin's power as an exchange of value, purchasing two pizzas with 10,000 Bitcoins.

Letโ€™s be honest; is it even a Bitcoin event if Paul Eke isnโ€™t on the mic? We were so happy to have the one and only Paul Eke, founder of BLOCC, as our MC at the Kaduna Bitcoin Summit powered by @Btrust Paul brought the perfect balance of energy, education, and entertainment. And of course, true to form, he came through as the only MC who does live sats giveaways; because why not earn while you learn? Big love to Paul for making the summit unforgettable. We see you, we celebrate you! ๐Ÿงก
Session Seven: Bitcoin vs Altcoins; A Panel That Pulled No Punches ๐Ÿ”ฅ The most powerful moment of the Kaduna Bitcoin Summit powered by @Btrust came in the seventh session, a bold and unfiltered panel discussion on Bitcoin vs Altcoins. Satoshee sat with some of the brightest minds and builders in the space; @Abubakar Nur Khalil Theophilus Isah, OnionsMan and Megasley. Each panelist brought a unique perspective, but the message was unified and strong: Bitcoin stands apart from every other cryptocurrency. And in the end, the takeaway was simple but profound: โ€œStudy Bitcoin for yourself. Then study other cryptos. And choose for yourself.โ€ This defining session was made possible by the continued support of @Btrust IPayBTC, and @Africa Free Routing thank you for empowering conversations that matter.
What Mava cannot pay does not exist! That was the energy in the sixth session of the Kaduna Bitcoin Summit powered by @Btrust led by none other than Theophilus Isah , CEO of Mavapay and Mavapay Money. Theophilus gave an incredible session, breaking down the power behind Mavapay; a seamless solution enabling fast, cross-border Bitcoin payments. After laying the foundation, he wowed the crowd with a live demo. Mavapay can now also send money from Nigeria to South Africa in seconds! And just when we thought weโ€™d seen it all, he teased major news on the horizon, but only those of us at the summit got the gist.๐Ÿคญ This electrifying session was made possible thanks to the trust and support of @Btrust , IPayBTC, and @Africa Free Routing who continue to champion African-led Bitcoin innovation.
