LIVE NOW: Day Two of bitcoin economics edition x.com/i/broadcasts/1AJEmmnLj…

17

The last time I was in Kenya wasn’t entirely Bitcoin related. This time is different. I’m heading to Kenya next week and plan to make the most of my stay by exploring as much of the local Bitcoin ecosystem as possible. Here’s my current checklist: @btcplusplus Open Source Edition, of course. Reconnect with the teams at @tando_me, @minmo_to, and @bitika_KE. Visit the newly launched @NodeNBO. I’m sure I’m missing a lot. Any recommendations for Bitcoin only activities, communities, or builders I should connect with? I’d love to learn from the Kenyan ecosystem and bring ideas back to help strengthen our community in Mauritius 🇲🇺.

We're heading to Nairobi 🇰🇪 for @btcplusplus open source edition, happening June 17–19. We're excited to join developers, contributors, and builders from across the global Bitcoin ecosystem for three days of talks, workshops, hackathons, and networking. If you'll be in Nairobi and would like to attend the conference, we're giving away a number of tickets. Here's how to participate: • Join the @BitDevsNBO or the @btrust_builders Discord • Check the general channel for the giveaway details We'll be selecting a few community members to receive conference tickets. See you in Nairobi! 🚀
