Africa Free Routing ⚡ @FreeRoutingAf

a week ago

Our Lightning Developer Bootcamp in Bujumbura, Burundi 🇧🇮 is officially a wrap and what an incredible week it has been. Over five days, participants journeyed from Bitcoin fundamentals, the history of money, cryptographic signatures, transactions, and the blockchain, all the way to building and testing real projects on the Lightning Network. Today, they pitched those projects to the room. Watching developers who started the week with questions end it with working ideas is exactly why we run these bootcamps. A huge shoutout to our instructors, @heyolaniran and @advaxeir. You didn’t just teach, you inspired. The depth, clarity, and energy you brought to every session shaped the entire experience. Thank you both. To our executing team, @_Satoshee and @Ladyyyy_lo, thank you for the countless behind the scenes efforts that made this bootcamp possible. These events only succeed because of people like you. A special thank you to @belyi_nobel, @Barakana_GE, and the @bitdevsgtga team for inviting us to Burundi, welcoming us so warmly, and supporting the local ground planning. Your community’s passion for Bitcoin education is truly inspiring, and this definitely won’t be our last time here. And to our sponsors and partners who continue to make this mission possible, @btrustteam, @HRF, @Tether_Africa, @afribitcoiners, @planb_network, and @freetechite, thank you. Your support is what transforms an idea into five days of hands on Bitcoin education across Africa. The Lightning Network is growing across this continent. One city, one bootcamp, one developer at a time. Next stop: Kisumu, Kenya 🇰🇪

Airtel MoMo earns 0.728% on every dollar it processes. M-Pesa earns 0.438%. MTN MoMo, 0.396%. You'd read Airtel's higher take rate as the stronger business. It's closer to the opposite. In mobile money, withdrawal fees are the high-margin line. A customer tolerates a fee on a

Walter Rodney was wrong. Africans are poor because too many African countries make it hard to start businesses, get permits, access reliable electricity, trade freely, protect property, enforce contracts, attract investment, and keep the rewards of hard work. Singapore is richer than Britain, its former colonizer. Switzerland, which never built a colonial empire, is richer than Spain and Portugal, two of the greatest imperial powers in history.

As a Zambian I stayed Four months in Kenya, and not once did I touch fiat. From paying bills and buying everyday goods, I’ve lived entirely on Bitcoin. Bitcoin isn’t just theory it’s real, practical, and working here. And with @tando_me , it’s been seamless and reliable.

M-Pesa & Cash App are mostly A2A ledger entries — fast internal accounting, not true P2P settlement. Bitcoin + Lightning is different: real B2B/B2C settlement on an open network. These apps are great stepping stones. The endgame: a circular bitcoin economy where value moves P2P
