Why am I inviting you to participate in Bitcoin Mastermind 2026? My first reason
Two years ago, I fell down the Bitcoin rabbit hole. Very quickly, I understood one thing: There is a huge amount to learn… and alone, it can take years.
But with the right network and the right method, you can dramatically accelerate your progress.
That's what motivated me to participate in the very first French-language Bitcoin conference: Bitcoin Mastermind.
My very first Bitcoin conference. And, without realizing it, one of the smartest decisions of my career.
There, I met:
-Bitcoiners who are already building, -entrepreneurs,
-curious individuals,
and above all… opportunities for collaboration.
I also discovered major players in Bitcoin education like Plan B Network and Btrust.
But the most striking thing?
👉 I didn't just leave with knowledge.
👉 I left with connections.
👉 And real collaborations.
I'm going back this year. And I sincerely hope you'll join me.
Tickets are on sale now. Get your PASS.
https://btcmastermind.xyz/tickets
See you down the deep Bitcoin rabbit hole. 🐇🧡

Day 30: Write and share five things you've learned from this challenge.
Hi everyone! I hope you're all doing well. A month ago, I came across @Confortdavidee's tweet announcing their participation in the #AprilChallenge organized by @BitKwa.
So, I decided to join the adventure. Over the past month, I've learned several things, five of which I'm going to share with you.
1) You never stop learning. Bitcoin is a recent technology that's evolving rapidly. It's therefore essential to stay informed.
With this in mind, Bitcoin Benin organizes two meetings per month: a meeting and a Bitdevs session. If you're in Benin, join us for the upcoming sessions.
In this spirit of learning, @africanbitcoiners is launching its first cohort of the Bitcoin Africa Academy.
Here's the link to participate: https://bitcoiners.africa/academie-bitcoin-afrique/
2) Bitcoin is a decentralized, censorship-resistant network powered by the currency bitcoin.
3) Forks will eventually disappear, but Bitcoin will last a long time. So, choose your investments wisely.
4) No one can stop Bitcoin.
5) We change Bitcoin more than we change them. Here are five lessons I learned during this challenge that I want to share with you.
Thank you to @BitKwa for this initiative.
Thank you to everyone who liked my posts.
A special thank you to @ProfEduStream who liked my posts from beginning to end.
Thank you to everyone who skips my posts. Thank you to my Bitcoin Benin community.

Day 23: What can we say about the Lightning Network?
What if you could send bitcoins to the other side of the world in less than a second for just a few cents?
That's exactly what the Lightning Network makes possible.
The Lightning Network is a Layer 2 payment channel network built on top of the Bitcoin network. It aims to enable instant and, above all, low-cost transactions.
As you already know, it takes about 10 minutes for a Bitcoin transaction to be confirmed on the blockchain.
This isn't very convenient when you want to pay for a coffee, settle a bill, or send money quickly. Furthermore, fees can become very high during periods of high network activity. That's precisely where the Lightning Network comes in.
The Lightning Network transforms Bitcoin into a fast, accessible, and borderless everyday payment tool.

Day 21: What can be said about Bitcoin's security?
Bitcoin is a combination of several carefully assembled cryptographic technologies.
It's a network where everyone can see all transactions, but no one can modify or delete them. And since no one controls Bitcoin, no state can shut down or destroy the network.
On the Bitcoin network, transactions are pseudonymous. This means that everyone can see what an address contains, but no one knows who it actually belongs to unless you reveal it yourself.
Everyone can see what you own through your public key, but no one can access it. Only you have access to it using your private key.
Are you wondering if someone can guess or hack your private key?
The answer is simply NO.
Your private key is based on a 256-bit number. The number of possible combinations to find your private key is greater than the number of atoms in the observable universe.
Even if you gathered all the most powerful computers in the world, they still wouldn't be able to guess it, even in billions of years.
The only way someone can access your private key is if you've shown it to them, either intentionally or carelessly. A picture of your seed phrase, a fraudulent website, a phishing message these are all possibilities.
Above all, remember this rule: "Not your keys, not your bitcoins."
Bitcoin is one of the most secure technologies ever created, provided you take responsibility for your own security.
See you tomorrow for the next challenge.

Day 20: What are the differences between a cold wallet and a hot wallet?
Hi everyone! I hope you're all doing well. Yesterday, we looked at what a Bitcoin wallet is, and I promised we'd explore the different types that exist.
Generally, there are two main categories of wallets: cold wallets and hot wallets. The fundamental difference between the two is their connection to the internet.
Cold wallets are wallets that are never connected to the internet. Your private key is generated and stored in a completely offline environment, which protects it from hackers. This is a preferred solution for those who hold significant sums and think long-term.
Example: Trezor.
Hot wallets are wallets that are constantly connected to the internet. This is more convenient for everyday transactions. You can access them in seconds from your phone or computer.
Examples: Cakewallet, @blinkbtc, mannabitcoin
Be aware that with hot wallets, you are exposed to risks such as hacking, phishing, and security breaches, while with cold wallets, these risks are virtually nonexistent.
However, it is absolutely essential to protect your private key and seed phrase in a secure location. Losing them means losing your bitcoins permanently.
"Not your keys, not your bitcoins."
I hope you now understand the difference between cold and hot wallets.

2026-04-19 18:23:36 UTC

Day 19: What is a Bitcoin wallet? Give some examples.
A Bitcoin wallet is software or an application that allows you to receive, send, and store the private key that grants access to your bitcoins.
It generally includes a public key, which allows you to receive bitcoins, and a private key, which grants access to the bitcoins and signs transactions. There are several Bitcoin wallets available. Some examples include @cakewallet, @mannabitcoin, @Blink, @walletofsatoshi, @Trezor, and many others.
In the coming days, we will look at the different types of wallets that exist.
"Not your keys, not your bitcoins." Remember this golden rule.
That's all for today. See you tomorrow for the next challenge.
Tell me in the comments which wallet you use and why.

Day 18: Why Was Bitcoin Designed to Have a Limited Supply?
Hi everyone. I hope you're all doing well. Today, I'm going to answer the question of why Bitcoin has a limited supply.
For a currency to fulfill its role properly, it must meet several essential criteria: it must be exchangeable, divisible, verifiable, portable... and scarce. It's this last criterion that fiat currencies like the dollar, the euro, the CFA franc, and others have gradually abandoned because central banks print banknotes at will, especially during times of crisis. The result: more banknotes in circulation, and less money is worth. This is the mechanism of inflation: your money silently loses value while the cost of living increases.
To address this dysfunction in the traditional system, Satoshi Nakamoto enshrined in Bitcoin's source code a limited supply of 21 million:
-to make the currency deflationary,
-to make monetary policy predictable,
-to protect purchasing power,
-to preserve the inherent value of what one actually owns.
Satoshi also implemented a mechanism called the Halving, whereby approximately every four years, the reward for miners who secure the network is halved, progressively slowing the creation of new bitcoins until the last one is mined around 2140. That's all for today.

Day 15: Can money exist without banks?
Explain.
I think money can exist without banks. In ancient civilizations, banks didn't exist, but forms of money were already in use: seashells, salt, precious metals, and gold and silver coins.
Banks appeared later to solve practical problems: securing gold, facilitating remote payments, and issuing receipts for exchanged transactions. Over time, these receipts became money, giving rise to fiat currencies.
Therefore, money can exist without banks. Bitcoin is proof of this: a solid currency that operates without banking intermediaries. Today, we can send and receive value across the globe without going through a bank, thanks to Bitcoin.

I'm going to talk about Bitcoin Benin, which I know better, instead of BitKwa.
Bitcoin Benin will officially open on January 27, 2024. While activities were already being organized before that date, they were infrequent.
Since then, activities have become much more regular.
If you are in Benin, I invite you to join us.

Day 13: Bitcoin vs Traditional Currency, What's the Difference?
Everyone uses money, but very few people truly understand what it is.
Simply put, money is a means of communication that allows value to be transferred across time and space.
Bitcoin and traditional currency are both forms of money, but with profound differences.
This difference might surprise you: Bitcoin is a strong currency, while fiat currency is a easy currency.
-Bitcoin is decentralized, while fiat currency is centralized (controlled by governments and banks).
-Bitcoin is deflationary, while fiat currency is inflationary.
-Bitcoin is neutral, while fiat currency is not. -Bitcoin can be a good store of value, unlike fiat currency.
-Bitcoin operates without intermediaries, while fiat currency relies on them.
-Bitcoin can be used worldwide, while fiat currency is primarily used in its country of origin.
I'll stop there, as there are many other differences. Discover them for yourself!
See you tomorrow for the next challenge.

Day 11: What do you know about Bitcoin mining?
Today, I'm going to answer that question.
I'll be straight with you: what you're doing with your phone, supposedly "Bitcoin mining," isn't real at all.
Mining is the work that miners do to secure the Bitcoin network and validate transactions. When transactions are made, miners check that they comply with the protocol rules. They then group these transactions into a block and try to validate that block.
To do this, they have to perform computational work that requires energy, a lot of energy. This is called proof of work.
The miner who successfully validates the block is rewarded by the network with bitcoins.
This is the process by which new bitcoins are created. I hope this part of the answer has given you a clearer understanding of Bitcoin mining.
If so, give me a thumbs up and see you tomorrow.

Day 10: What has changed in your understanding of Bitcoin?
I've come to understand that Bitcoin is neither a Ponzi scheme, nor a bubble, nor a centralized system destined to collapse, as some believe. Bitcoin is an active financial tool designed to restore human freedom and financial sovereignty.
I've also come to understand that there are two essentially rare things: Bitcoin and time. That's all for today.
See you tomorrow for the next challenge.

Day 9: Who Created Bitcoin and Why Is It Important?
After the subprime mortgage crisis in 2008, as the world was experiencing profound financial chaos, an individual or group of people using the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto published a white paper on October 31, 2008, on a cryptography mailing list, explaining how their invention, Bitcoin, worked.
On January 3, 2009, the genesis block was mined, marking the beginning of the Bitcoin network.
Satoshi Nakamoto created Bitcoin with the aim of:
-transferring the properties of cash into cyberspace,
-eliminating the need to trust banks,
-separating money creation from institutions, protecting privacy (a fundamental right), -restoring financial sovereignty to individuals, and many other reasons.
That's all for today. See you tomorrow for the next challenge.

Hello everyone.
My name is Geoffroy, and I'm learning about Bitcoin.
From the 23rd to the 25th, I participated in @HRF 's Financial Freedom event, which focused on "How NonProfit can use Bitcoin to navigate Financial Repression."
During these three days, I learned about the useful tools (wallets, exchanges, servers) that non-profit organizations can use, and how they can receive donations worldwide without relying on the traditional system or centralized platforms.
Thank you @Graysatoshi and my @BitcoinBenin community for sharing.
Thank you @nprofile…4sn7 for all the values and concepts you shared with us. Thank you @nprofile…fh3z and @nprofile…pk4j for this wonderful event.
Peace ✌️

Day 8: What are BitKwa's core values?
Hello everyone. I hope you're all doing well. As I mentioned, I don't know the BitKwa community very well, so I'll talk about Bitcoin Benin.
I'm convinced there isn't a big difference between the two communities; we share a common interest in Bitcoin education.
At Bitcoin Benin, we only talk about Bitcoin, about Bitcoin applications and innovations that can lead us to hyperbitcoinization, not crypto. "No shitcoins onside."

Day 7: Why is Decentralization Important in Bitcoin?
Hi everyone, I hope you're all doing well. Today, I'm going to share my thoughts on why decentralization is important in Bitcoin.
Bitcoin was created to solve a major problem: to create an electronic payment system without a trusted intermediary, such as a bank or a government.
To achieve this, there shouldn't be a central authority making decisions for everyone. Bitcoin operates using thousands of computers distributed around the world. No one owns it, no one can shut it down, and no one can censor it.
It's also open-source software: anyone can use it, inspect it, or contribute to it, freely and without permission.
That's all for today. See you tomorrow for the next challenge.

Day 6: How Does a Bitcoin Transaction Work?
Hi everyone, I hope you're doing well. I'll explain in very simple terms how a Bitcoin transaction works.
When you send bitcoins (money) to a friend or family member, you sign this instruction with your private key to prove that the instruction comes from you. Then, this instruction is shared and broadcast on the Bitcoin network. The network's computers verify that you actually have these funds and that they haven't already been used. Once verified, the transaction is grouped with other transactions into a block. To validate this block, miners must find a random number which, combined with the block's data, produces a result that meets certain conditions; it's a matter of luck and computing power.
This validated block is then added to the blockchain. The transaction becomes irreversible.
After a few confirmations (3 to 6), your friend or family member happily receives their bitcoins 🤩.
That's all for today. See you tomorrow for the next challenge.

Day 5: What do you know about the Bitcoin halving?
Hi everyone, I hope you're all doing well. Happy holidays to the Christian community.
Today, we're going to talk about the Bitcoin halving.
What is the halving?
It's the event that halves the miners' reward every 210,000 blocks, or every four years. If you don't know, every ten minutes, a new block is created, and the miner who manages to mine that block gets the associated reward. In 2009, this reward was 50 bitcoins. As I write this, the reward is 3.125 bitcoins.
That's all for today. See you tomorrow for the next challenge.

Day 4: What has your experience with BitKwa been so far?
Hello everyone, I hope you're all doing well. Today, I'm going to tell you about my experience so far with my community.
I'm not familiar with the BitKwa community, so I'll be talking about my community, @BitcoinBenin.
My name is Geoffroy, and I live in Benin. After going down the rabbit hole in January 2024, I had to keep learning. I had to join the @BitcoinBenin community.
For those who don't know, Bitcoin Benin is a community that works to promote Bitcoin adoption in Benin and Africa. Education first is their mantra.
I learned a tremendous amount through their meetups and BitDevs, participated in several programs such as @TrezorAcademy, the @FreeroutingAf Lightning Developer Bootcamp, @HRF Financial Freedom, Bitcoin conferences like Bitcoin Mastermind, and discovered educational platforms such as Plan B Network, African Bitcoiners, and others.
I had some wonderful experiences and would love to have more.
That's all. See you tomorrow for the next challenge.

Day 3 of #AprilChallenge by @BitKwa: Explain Bitcoin to a friend in simple terms.
Bitcoin is a digital currency, a bit like the dollar or the euro, but without a central bank or government behind it.

Hello everyone👋 https://image.nostr.build/a1bff317f69f51644e16df817aa76b4e0546c915faf398523b6394f1c733c020.jpg .
Today is day two of the challenge. Today's challenge is to learn and share something about Bitcoin.
While reading the book 21 lessons by @dergigi, I learned that Bitcoin is free software; everyone can access and use it. At first glance, you might think you can modify it at will, but it's more complex than that. Bitcoin has already been modified SegWit in 2017, Taproot in 2021 but only through consensus across the entire network.
What no single person has ever managed is to impose it unilaterally, without the agreement of the majority. It's true that we have a multitude of altcoins (copies of Bitcoin), forks. They will never be like Bitcoin.
Remember this: what matters most is Bitcoin; the forks will eventually die. Bitcoin will never die; its heart will beat longer than ours. Ralph Merkle said, "...Even if a nuclear war destroyed half the planet, it would continue to live, untouched."
That's all for today. See you tomorrow for the next challenge.

Hello everyone👋.
I hope you're all doing well. I wish you a happy start to April.
This month, I decided to participate in the #Aprilchallenge launched by @BitKwa.
Today's challenge is to define Bitcoin in your own words.
For me, Bitcoin is a peer-to-peer value transfer protocol, without a central controlling body or intermediary.
Day01✅
See you tomorrow for the next challenge.
