⚡️ Lightning Network Session Recap ⚡️ Yesterday, we focused on sending and receiving Bitcoin using the Lightning Network, exploring both custodial and self-custodial wallets. Mr. Ulemu conducted live transactions with the students, and they were amazed by the instant settlement and near-zero fees. ⏱️For many, it was their first time experiencing truly borderless money. 🌍 We started with Blink Wallet, where students practiced sending and receiving sats. 📲⚡️ Then we explored Wallet of Satoshi, discussing custodial vs. self-custodial models and the importance of controlling your private keys. 🔐 Finally, we tested Green Wallet by Blockstream, reinforcing security, backups, and self-custody through more live transactions. 💡 The feedback was overwhelmingly positive — speed, low fees, simplicity, and real-world usability stood out. 🚀 Join us tonight as we conclude Chapter 7: Introduction to the Lightning Network ⚡️

We wrapped up this week’s classes on Wednesday by beginning Chapter 2 of our online Bitcoin Diploma course: “What is Money?” 💡💰 It was a powerful session where we dug into the definition of money, its core functions, and the key properties that give money its value and trust. We had some great discussions and reflections on how different forms of money have shaped societies throughout history. 🌍📚 This chapter is so important because understanding what money really is lays the foundation for why Bitcoin matters in the first place. ⚡🧡 Let’s meet again on Monday as we continue with Chapter 2 and go even deeper into the building blocks of money and how they connect to Bitcoin. 🚀
