growth.<br/><br/>🔹Deliver practical Bitcoin education and workshops — Provide accessible, hands-on training programs tailored for beginners, women, journalists, civil society, and financial literacy professionals.<br/><br/>🔹Build technical capacity and developer talent — Grow a local Bitcoin developer community through BitDevs Zambia to foster open-source contributions and technical expertise within Zambia.<br/><br/>🔹Drive grassroots adoption and inclusion — Expand Bitcoin participation through targeted outreach initiatives, such as women-focused workshops, public education campaigns, university engagement, and innovative programs that bring Bitcoin into everyday community spaces.<br/><br/>🔹Strengthen the local Bitcoin ecosystem — Develop long-term infrastructure by collaborating with other African Bitcoin groups, educating on mining and energy solutions, advocating for Bitcoin as a tool for freedom, and creating sustainable networks of educators, developers, and advocates across Zambia.<br/><br/>Connect with Bitcoin Zambia:<br/>Website: <a href="https://bitcoinzambia.org/">https://bitcoinzambia.org/</a><br/>X: @BitcoinZambia<br/><br/>👇Explore more inspiring Bitcoin

Lebanon, 2019. A banking system that froze deposits, a currency that lost 98 percent of its value, and a population that discovered overnight what counterparty risk actually means.<br/><br/>That experience shaped the thesis of the course: institutional adoption of Bitcoin is not a technology decision. It is a structural response to monetary debasement. The course equips you to evaluate whether, when, and how any institution should respond.<br/><br/>What I teach is what worked then, applied at institutional scale: how businesses, family offices, and governments across the Middle East and Africa are integrating Bitcoin into balance sheets, treasury policy, and capital preservation frameworks.<br/><br/>The pattern repeats across every market I have worked in. Crisis, curiosity, adoption, conviction.<br/><br/>The institutions that move early do not adapt to the new system.

They're hiring faculty.<br/><br/>Honored to join Universidad de las Hespérides as faculty for the Master in Bitcoin, teaching Institutional Adoption.<br/><br/>I learned this subject the way most of my students never will. Lebanon, 2019. A banking system that froze deposits, a currency that lost 98 percent of its value, and a population that discovered overnight what counterparty risk actually means.<br/><br/>That experience shaped the thesis of the course: institutional adoption of Bitcoin is not a technology decision. It is a structural response to monetary debasement. The course equips you to evaluate whether, when, and how any institution should respond.<br/><br/>What I teach is what worked then, applied at institutional scale: how businesses, family offices, and governments across the Middle East and Africa are integrating Bitcoin into balance sheets, treasury policy, and capital preservation frameworks.<br/><br/>The pattern repeats across every market I have worked in. Crisis, curiosity, adoption, conviction.<br/><br/>The institutions that move early do not adapt to the new system. They set its rules.<br/><br/>If #Bitcoin still looks optional, you are studying yesterday's monetary order.<br/><br/>Apply: <a href="https://lnkd.in/etXVZtWH">https://lnkd.in/etXVZtWH</a><br/><br/>Ps: I'll be working on getting the university #Nostr account🤞🏽 <br/><br/><br/><br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/f98a0df45ac7870702b6a4792a13a71f4c6116896ff1b2209835a7829636363d.png"> </blockquote> 2026-04-18T07:40:30Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsvdjqaert8a328vccgywlzqkc8vsysulcwwqrw7c5nnahxfms8amgzyppawt87wdvvhfrdqslzk3qwz665ethv5ad73fmp9pycv2sw0xydymmwewf We’ve taken a big step forward in strengthening our ability to advocate for how nonprofits can use Bitcoin to navigate financial repression.<br/><br/>We recently participated in an @ training focused on this important topic.<br/><br/>Special thanks to <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/nprofile1qy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uq3jamnwvaz7tmswfjk66t4d5h8qunfd4skctnwv46z7qgawaehxw309ahx7um5wgkhyetvv9ujuamvweejuumsv93k2tcqyzyd3jw3p28k0duke6vn5upsgrxge8kf8kngwwwhmz6nuh2m8tqzktuqe7r" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>win</span> (<span class="italic">nprofile…qe7r</span>)</a></span>, <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/nprofile1qythwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnswf5k6ctv9ehx2ap0qydhwumn8ghj7en9v4j8xtnwdaehgu3wvfskuep0w3hku7gpzamhxue69uhkyet5vyhxummnw3exjmpwvdsk6tcqyqvcjq6w26u0vpk8yn695ykwsjs3sstzr2hhrq4p7ety8q9ecsnkk78dmd9" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>BTCsessions</span> (<span class="italic">nprofile…dmd9</span>)</a></span>, and Anya Chekhovich for their insights and guidance, and to our members and the Zambian activists who also took part in the webinar. <br/> <img src="https://npub1g0tjelnntr96gmgy8c45grskk4x2am98t052wcfgfxrz5rne3rfqwpf4my.blossom.band/7c5b367a1a8bbe82ca523f931964ec4bea109e418dc012ea3457c18c17b470d4.jpg"> 2026-04-17T06:34:55Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqstagd73vh7l87cwyrpkazdvufsn76768tmdjuzy9vhqt8p6h360jczyppawt87wdvvhfrdqslzk3qwz665ethv5ad73fmp9pycv2sw0xydy0djlqq <blockquote class="border-l-05rem border-l-strongpink border-solid"><div class="-ml-4 bg-gradient-to-r from-gray-100 dark:from-zinc-800 to-transparent mr-0 mt-0 mb-4 pl-4 pr-2 py-2">quoting <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Article"><a itemprop="url" href="/nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzpyhy673zd5tw8f8uehqfagc5ya4l5pcdkd3uwfdpqs8k0d8szhpkqyfhwumn8ghj7ur4wfcxcetsv9njuetn9uq32amnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwv3sk6atn9e5k7tcppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qqsw7rv5ahxerylj6sej02zgm0ewrhsc60x4nruty2c3fjadt5sleug0ggjl9" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1">nevent1q…gjl9</a></span> </div> "We need to make cryptography the solution to the problem: 'how do you make surveillance more expensive?'"<br/><br/>— Phillip Rogaway (The Moral Character of Cryptographic Work, 2015)<br/><br/>#cryptography #surveillance #resistance </blockquote> 2026-04-17T06:24:15Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsdf9tvg72pa2tjygxce03y8yqsm8jjl4j75sa037geeg50fw6rhmqzyppawt87wdvvhfrdqslzk3qwz665ethv5ad73fmp9pycv2sw0xydyn5nejy <br/>Great to see BitDevs Mozambique launching! <br/>Thanks to <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/nprofile1qyxhwumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmvqydhwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytf39ehxymewv9hxwctwdyhxxmcqypw2mqkgnrhxvqfhzx2966rl0k25naj95qgcge76ut67yax9nrt070zajgd" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Anita</span> (<span class="italic">nprofile…ajgd</span>)</a></span> for continuing to support the growth of grassroots Bitcoin developer communities across Africa.<br/><br/>BitDevs Zambia was also launched with <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/nprofile1qqsysq9u2r3nzac0sjxsjn6jsalm6nr56dneggjj7swelsfydxdrzls27lzev" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Bitcoin for Fairness</span> (<span class="italic">nprofile…lzev</span>)</a></span> and her support in 2025.
