Today I passed CS120: Bitcoin for Developers from Saylor University. For me, this isn’t just another certificate — it’s part of a bigger journey toward digital sovereignty, open systems, and empowering communities with real knowledge of how Bitcoin works at the protocol level. Excited to keep building, learning, and contributing. Course link:

This course dives deep into the technical foundations of Bitcoin — UTXOs, scripts, Merkle trees, mining, hashing, and the architecture that makes Bitcoin secure and decentralised. Grateful for the opportunity to keep sharpening my understanding of open, permissionless systems. On to the next milestone.

Really enjoyed this — especially the reminder that we’re living through a massive shift in how technology shapes our lives, families, and future. I’ve been exploring this same theme in my own work: how ordinary people can stay grounded, sovereign, and intentional in an AI‑driven world. For anyone interested, I wrote a children’s book Robots Are Alive! to help kids (and parents!) understand AI in a simple, empowering way:

And I’m building DigitalHijrah.com, a practical guide to digital sovereignty — privacy, autonomy, ethical tech, and reclaiming control of your digital life. Videos like this are a great reminder: the future isn’t something we wait for… it’s something we build with the choices we make today.

Digital Hijrah — A Practical Guide to Digital Sovereignty www.digitalhijrah.com A new kind of migration is underway. Not across borders, but away from systems that track, monetise, and control us. Digital Hijrah is a deliberate journey toward sovereignty, resilience, and ethical technology, echoing the classical spirit of migrating toward better circumstances. At its core, Digital Hijrah empowers you to: - Own your money through decentralised, censorship‑resistant tools. - Control your identity with self‑sovereign credentials instead of corporate logins. - Secure your communication against surveillance and data extraction. - Build autonomous technology stacks that don’t rely on Big Tech. - Protect your mind and data in an age of algorithmic manipulation. - Live virtuously online, aligning digital life with faith, ethics, and human dignity. This site distils the complex world of digital sovereignty into a clear, structured framework — the Six Pillars supported by the Three Levels of Transformation (Aware → Sovereign → Citadel). Each step is practical, actionable, and grounded in real tools you can adopt today. Digital Hijrah is not theory. It’s a migration you can begin right now — one that strengthens your family, protects your privacy, and restores your autonomy in a rapidly shifting digital landscape.
