A Bitcoin course that started in a WhatsApp group after its founder got scammed has now graduated 643 people across 28 countries.
That's
@thecore21m, founded by
@MukunguFelix in Nairobi. It runs a free online Bitcoin Diploma four times a year, monthly hands-on meetups with
@Trezor hardware training, and a circular economy in Githurai called
@bitcoingithurai where 16 merchants now accept Bitcoin Lightning payments.
The proof it works: graduates have gone on to start their own projects, from Bitcoin Githurai to Bitcoin School Kenya and many more... The Core also co-hosted Unconference 03 in Nairobi together with
@MyFirstBitcoin_, 500+ people, where
@EcoBitz_21m,
@bitcoinbabies,
@Bitsacco,
@AfribitKibera and some other amazing Bitcoin projects were present.
On 26 September the meetup lands on a university campus for the first time, at Murang'a University of Technology, capacity doubled to 100.
