Wrapped the Buja LN Bootcamp 🇧🇮 and I’m genuinely proud.
Bitcoin fundamentals → real LN builds → pitching working projects.
From “questions” to “ideas shipped” : that’s why we do this.
Respect to @heyolaniran, and to the team behind the scenes @_Satoshee & @Ladyyyy_lo .
Our Lightning Developer Bootcamp in Bujumbura, Burundi 🇧🇮 is officially a wrap and what an incredible week it has been.
Over five days, participants journeyed from Bitcoin fundamentals, the history of money, cryptographic signatures, transactions, and the blockchain, all the way to building and testing real projects on the Lightning Network. Today, they pitched those projects to the room. Watching developers who started the week with questions end it with working ideas is exactly why we run these bootcamps.
A huge shoutout to our instructors, @heyolaniran and @advaxeir. You didn’t just teach, you inspired. The depth, clarity, and energy you brought to every session shaped the entire experience. Thank you both.
To our executing team, @_Satoshee and @Ladyyyy_lo, thank you for the countless behind the scenes efforts that made this bootcamp possible. These events only succeed because of people like you.
A special thank you to @belyi_nobel, @Barakana_GE, and the @bitdevsgtga team for inviting us to Burundi, welcoming us so warmly, and supporting the local ground planning. Your community’s passion for Bitcoin education is truly inspiring, and this definitely won’t be our last time here.
And to our sponsors and partners who continue to make this mission possible, @btrustteam, @HRF, @Tether_Africa, @afribitcoiners, @planb_network, and @freetechite, thank you. Your support is what transforms an idea into five days of hands on Bitcoin education across Africa.
The Lightning Network is growing across this continent. One city, one bootcamp, one developer at a time.
Next stop: Kisumu, Kenya 🇰🇪

We also explored the differences between onchain and Lightning, mastered wallet security, and executed our very first programmed payments via the @blinkbtc API.
Technology is a means, never an end, so let's build Africa's financial autonomy, brick by brick!

🌍 PROJECT SPOTLIGHT: BitDevs Gitega
📍 Location: Gitega, Burundi 🇧🇮
About:
BitDevs Gitega is a Bitcoin-only technical community in Gitega for developers, educators, builders, students, and technically curious people who want to go beyond surface-level adoption and study how Bitcoin actually works.
The group focuses on Bitcoin protocol development, the Lightning Network, privacy tools, free and open-source software, and practical use cases that fit Burundi’s local context.
Key Objectives:
1. Deepen Bitcoin technical knowledge through regular Socratic Seminars, reading groups, workshops, and study sessions on protocol design, Lightning, privacy, and related tools.
2. Support local developers and builders as they learn to write, review, and ship Bitcoin software, including hands-on projects and open-source work relevant to Burundi.
3. Host consistent technical gatherings that give Gitega a reliable space for collaborative learning, critique, and discussion instead of one-off events.
4. Encourage free and open-source contribution by helping members find grants, bounties, fellowships, and ways to publish code, notes, and local-language learning resources.
5. Strengthen Burundi’s Bitcoin developer community by connecting Gitega talent to the wider African and global BitDevs network while keeping the focus technical, Bitcoin-only, and locally grounded.

Just wrapped a session on Bitcoin adoption , the core idea: "Technology is a means, never an end." Trust comes first, tech only matters once people feel its value.

Which is exactly why we're bringing a Bitcoin Bootcamp to Gitega University next week.
Not "teach Bitcoin" , find what's broken (costly transfers, no safe savings, no privacy) and let Bitcoin answer that.
30 young Burundians, five days, hands-on.

I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.

Thank you @vexl for making this possible!
1/ In the West, financial sovereignty is a Twitter debate.
In Burundi, people are shipping code for it.
