🍕 Who doesn't love pizza? We all do! Bitcoin Boma, in partnership with Trezor Academy and Women of Satoshi Cooperative, is hosting a Bitcoin Pizza Day celebration in Zomba! Why Bitcoin Pizza Day? It marks the very first real world transaction using Bitcoin back in 2010. Programmer Laszlo Hanyecz paid 10,000 BTC for two Papa John’s pizzas. At the time, that was worth about $41 approximately 71,000 mwk. Today, those same 10,000 BTC would be worth hundreds of millions of dollars. A powerful reminder of how far Bitcoin has come! 📍 Join us at KIPS Restaurant in Zomba as we celebrate together! ⚠️ Only 20 spots available, slots are limited, don’t miss out! Register here: Date: 23 May 2026 Time: 1:30 PM - 4:30 PM

Last week was both a great and emotional one for our Cohort 3 students. It was a great week because we finally completed the cohort, and a sad one because we will truly miss these amazing students. This has been the most interactive and active cohort so far 👏🔥 Our tutor for Chapter 10, “What kind of future can Bitcoin empower us to create?”, Mr. Richard Kabisala, guided us through an introduction to Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) and who controls them, the philosophy behind Bitcoin, its benefits, and ultimately, the vision of an empowered future 🌍⚡ A big thank you to all the students and every tutor who has been part of this journey 🙌🎓

As we get closer to completing the Bitcoin Diploma Course (Cohort 3), this week we explored Chapter 9: How Does Bitcoin Mining Work? ⚡📘 On Monday, we took a deep dive into Bitcoin nodes and miners, while also unpacking the Bitcoin supply schedule, block rewards, transaction fees, and Bitcoin halvings. ⛏️📊 On Tuesday, we built on that foundation by understanding why nodes are so important, what Bitcoin miners really do, what the mempool is, and how the mining process operates behind the scenes. 🔍⚙️ By Wednesday, we wrapped things up with a clear and practical breakdown of Bitcoin mining, the journey of a Bitcoin transaction, proof of work, and hash functions. 🧠🔗 A special thank you to our amazing tutor, @sachieng198 , for guiding us through this chapter—your sessions are always insightful and engaging! 🙌✨ Looking forward to seeing everyone next week as we bring the Bitcoin Diploma Course to a strong finish. 🎓🚀

⚡️ 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 ⚡️
