#BitcoinOnly Project || Facilitating Bitcoin Adoption through Education, Onboarding, Content, and More || Showcasing Our Proof-of-Work ⚡️
We just wrapped up our session at the Youth Program with Altar of Mercy Ministries 🙌🏾 We introduced Bitcoin by first addressing the real problems — then showed how it’s already offering practical solutions for youths across Africa and invited them to join the Movement. Due to bad weather and time constraints, we couldn’t cover everything 💛 We keep building ⚡️ A powerful and inspiring experience. Photos & more updates dropping soon! #BitcoinAfricaStory #BitcoinForYouth #BitcoinEducation
A few moments ago, I was in a brief chat with one of our students. He sent this, and it genuinely moved me. ❤️ We haven’t even completed this cohort yet, and feedback like this reminds me why we started Bitcoin Africa Story in the first place. We’re not playing. We’re building. image There are so many more stories like this — even from past cohorts — that we haven’t shared yet. But I will. Because people need to see the impact Bitcoin education is having. This is deeper than a program. It’s real work. Real lives. Everyone will take from this what they need. Whether it inspires you to learn, support, or simply reflect, that’s enough for me. ⚡🧡 #BitcoinAfricaStory #BitcoinEducation #ProofOfImpact #WeMove
🚨 WE BOUGHT OUR FIRST DOMAIN WITH BITCOIN! 🌐⚡ ➤ No banks ➤ No stress ➤ Just #Bitcoin via the Lightning Network We used Namecheap and funded it with Bitcoin through Bitpay. Generated a Lightning invoice via @Wallet of Satoshi and paid instantly using @Blink Wallet . ⚡ (On-chain via @BTCPay Server was also available — but Lightning felt right.) 🧡 The moment + the feeling? Captured right here 🎥 📺 Watch how it happened: This is Bitcoin being used as money — simple, fast, and borderless. If you value practical use cases like this, feel free to zap ⚡, we’ve got more coming. #BitcoinAfrica #LightningNetwork #UseBitcoin #ProofOfWork

🤔How Has Bitcoin IMPACTED Your Life As A Person? Bitcoin has IMPACTED life Globally, especially across Africa😲 But still, many don't get it... As for me, Bitcoin has impacted my life BIG TIME! 🚀 Since discovering Bitcoin, I: ⚡️ Now see the world through a new lens ⚡️ Contribute selflessly to its adoption ⚡️ Have built a global network of amazing people ⚡️ Work with global initiatives and get paid instantly in Bitcoin — even when my bank account is frozen! ⚡️Educate and mentor new, curious minds about Bitcoin around the world. ⚡️ Founded @story_bitcoin to educate, empower, and inspire more people through Bitcoin …And that’s just the beginning. 💥 Before Bitcoin, I was SHY. 😶 ⚡️ I couldn’t speak in front of large crowds ⚡️ I struggled to express myself and connect with others But now? ⚡️I continue to speak to new learners from around the world to teach Bitcoin ⚡️I even spoke at a Bitcoin conference in Nigeria 🎤 I'm growing. I'm learning 🧡 And I’m improving — not through paid courses, but by being part of this powerful movement. 🙌 With Bitcoin it can only get better 🫡 That’s why, when the idea came up… We decided to host our very own Bitcoin Twitter Space! A space where anyone can show up, share their experience, and speak from the heart — Not to bluff, but to inspire and empower others. 🧡 But Who's This Space For? It’s for people who: ⚡️ Are hearing the word 'Bitcoin' for the very first time ⚡️ Have heard about it, but still haven’t taken action ⚡️ Believe Bitcoin is for everyone and a tool for social good and empowerment ⚡️ And finally… Its for everyone both New and Old to Bitcoin!
