Over the weekend, we hosted our 4th monthly Bitcoin Meetup right in the heart of Nairobi, and what an incredible session it was! The turnout was amazing with 30+ attendees eager to deepen their understanding of #Bitcoin — not just as new money, but as a tool for financial freedom, empowerment, and building resilient communities.
These meetups continue to grow, proving that the appetite for Bitcoin knowledge in Kenya🇰🇪 is stronger than ever. Every session connects curious minds, sparks meaningful conversations, and brings more people into the global #Bitcoin movement.
A massive thank you to our partners Blink Wallet (nprofile…lfqf) and @TrezorAcademy for supporting our mission. Your contribution helps us provide hands-on experiences, wallet setups, and real Bitcoin transactions that make learning both practical and impactful. 🙌
We kicked off with a powerful presentation by FelixMukungu (nprofile…prmc)
,covering:
✅The history of money
✅Why Bitcoin was created
✅ How it works
✅How it works as a decentralized alternative to fiat
This isn’t just theory — it’s financial empowerment
Attendees gained a deeper appreciation for #Bitcoin as more than new money — it's a movement towards transparency, sovereignty & freedom.
The energy in the room was 🔥 as people connected history with the WHY behind Bitcoin.
Hands-on learning is key!
Participants set up Blockstream Green Wallet ,witnessed an on-chain transaction, and watched it confirm live on the blockchain, through
mempool (nprofile…wnpf)
Real experience, real understanding
While waiting for confirmation, we introduced Blink Wallet (nprofile…lfqf) and explored Lightning Network.
Sats were passed around from attendee to attendee in seconds, showcasing bitcoin’s power for fast, low-cost payments.
The session also included a Trezor Hardware Wallet demo by
Chris from unboxing to generating a seed phrase, securing a PIN, and exploring self-custody 🔐
Hands-on security, hands-on sovereignty.
Learning was fun too!
Attendees answered quiz questions & won rewards — caps, T-shirts, wristbands, stickers, and even a Trezor Safe 3 Hardware wallet
#Bitcoin education + community vibes = unstoppable.
Highlight moment: Chris paid for The Core Cap using #bitcoin on a
@Bitcoinize POS. This wasn’t just a demo — it was proof of Bitcoin’s role in real commerce in Kenya 🇰🇪.
Another highlight:
FelixMukungu (nprofile…prmc) made a live Bitcoin donation of 1000 sats to
Yes Bitcoin Haiti (nprofile…kte2) through geyser (nprofile…n2y8) ,showing how borderless and permissionless #bitcoin truly is. 🌍
