Today was honestly such a good day.
A few months back, I orange-pilled the owner of Progress Private Secondary School, in Lumbadzi, Malawi, and today that conversation came full circle. He invited me to speak to some of the students about Bitcoin. It was their very first time hearing about it, so I knew I had to keep things simple, clear, and relatable.
I was flying solo this time — my colleagues were caught up with other commitments — but that didn’t slow anything down. I started with the basics: What is money? How do we use it? Who actually controls it? You could literally see the curiosity building as they started questioning things they’ve probably never thought twice about before. That was my favorite part.
Since this was just an intro session, I didn’t go too deep. But we all agreed this shouldn’t end here. We’re planning a proper meetup soon where both students and teachers can really dive into Bitcoin fundamentals. Next time, we’ll make it practical too — showing them how to open a simple wallet like
@Machankura 📞⚡ 8333.mobi just by dialing *384*8333*0265# on any phone — no internet needed — and sending and receiving sats. That part really grabs people’s attention. Most of them use basic phones without internet access, which is why I usually recommend Machankura. If they had smartphones, I’d probably suggest
@Blink Wallet as well.
And yes — we’ll actually send real sats from my own wallet to theirs so they can get hands-on experience. There’s something powerful about seeing it work right in front of you. The idea that you don’t even need a smartphone to use Bitcoin? That definitely stuck with them.
I’ve attached a few photos from the session — forgive the quality. My phone was stolen a few months ago and I haven’t replaced it yet, so I’m making do with a low-res backup for now.
All in all, it felt like planting a seed. Today was just the beginning, but the interest is clearly there. And that’s how movements grow — one conversation at a time.
So yeah, I’m happy. Deeply grateful. Not just because I learning a huge amount of Bitcoin knowledge, but because Bitcoin it will helped me learning what actually matter.
