Some lesson for Nigerians in here

Please release these children for the sake of our shared humanity I am deeply shocked and heartbroken by the condition in which these abducted school children are, as seen from their flagellated bodies. It is a painful reminder of the depth of insecurity in our land. I have always made it clear that the society we abuse today will take its revenge on our children tomorrow. When I first began making that statement, some of these children were not even born. This is a classic example of how the abuse of governance and society today can produce devastating consequences long after the abusers are gone. It is on the same line that I argue that the loans our leaders take today will hurt our children in the future, as many of them will mature for repayment and consequences long after we are gone. To those holding these children, I make a direct appeal to your conscience. Remember that these are innocent children - sons and daughters of people who have placed their hopes, dreams, and entire future in them. In every one of them, you will find reflections of your own children, your own family, and your own humanity. No grievance, no hardship, no justification can ever outweigh the sanctity of a child’s life and innocence. Whatever path has led to this moment, there is still room for remorse, for humanity, and for a change of heart. I therefore appeal to your sense of mercy: release these children immediately. Let them go. Return them safely to society to reunite with their families. -PO

Children are in the forest dying you dey write textbook for who to read on social media? Their parents? It can never be well with the president and his advisers. Ghouls. Wicked, soulless people

The Btrust team is heading to Norway 🇳🇴 @ihate1999, @chuksagb, @_tvpeter, @sadeeq_ismaela and @Eunovo9 will be on ground at the 2026 @OsloFF happening from June 1-3. They will be joining activists, technologists, innovators, and freedom advocates from around the world for important conversations around human rights, financial freedom, digital rights, and censorship-resistant technology. We’re excited to connect with builders, thinkers, and fellow advocates exploring how technology can help protect and empower communities where it matters most. If you’ll be attending #OsloFreedomForum, we’d love to connect.

Wishing happy anything to Nigerians is an exercise in utter asininity, it demands that all parties suspend their capacity to connect cause and effect, and embrace the superstition of unearned rewards. Children remain captives. Happy Eid..🇳🇬🤮

The Q1 2026 Btrust Builders pathway cohorts have officially wrapped, and we couldn’t be more proud of everyone who showed up, put in the work, and came out the other side a stronger builder. Across two pathways, developers from 24 countries spent between 7 and 8 weeks going deeper into Bitcoin’s technical foundations. They worked through Bitcoin's technical infrastructure, from transaction creation and node management to open-source workflows and protocol-level concepts, building the kind of foundational knowledge that turns genuine curiosity into meaningful contribution. This cohort also made history: women represented 34% of the Mastering Bitcoin track, the highest we’ve seen so far. It’s a milestone that reflects our ongoing commitment to making Bitcoin development accessible, inclusive, and representative of the communities it’s meant to serve.

A lot of my career has come from being willing to contribute early, learn in public, and stay in rooms that stretched me more than I felt prepared for. For me, this talk was really a reflection on growth, community, and what it really takes to build a path in technology and Bitcoin, especially as a young African navigating unconventional opportunities. Grateful to the #Hack4Freedom team, @briimhd @ibrahim_sekinah for creating spaces like this for the next generation of builders 🙌🏼

We’re excited to announce the Q1 Btrust Developer Grant recipients, our largest cohort to date. Ten Bitcoin open-source developers have been awarded grants, including six starter grant recipients and four open-source cohort members, including two renewals and two promotions from starter to long-term grants. This cohort also marks a couple of important firsts: support for Cashu development and the introduction of a dedicated research role within the open-source cohort. This builds on our work across the stack, from core protocol development to wallets, privacy tools, and user-facing applications. Learn more about Q1 recipients and what they’re working on here: x.com/i/status/2039359189449…
