It has been such an amazing experience attending the Women of Bitcoin Summit. Listening to different perspectives on Bitcoin has been incredibly eye opening, and one session that really stood out for me was about Bitcoin mining.

For a long time, many people have seen mining as something speculative, but one of the speakers explained it in a way that completely shifted my perspective: mining should be seen as infrastructure.

Bitcoin mining is a way of creating digital value and security for the network, but it also interacts with the physical world in powerful ways. Companies like Gridless are already showing how this can work in Africa. By partnering with small hydro and other renewable energy projects, they are helping bring electricity to underserved communities while using excess power to mine Bitcoin.

In places like Malawi and many other African countries where energy access is still limited, this model can be transformative.

One idea that really stayed with me was how mining converts electricity into different layers of value,

• Electricity → Security
Bitcoin mining turns energy into security for the network by protecting it through proof-of-work.

• Flexibility → Resilience
Mining is one of the most flexible energy users. Unlike many industries, miners can easily power down when electricity is needed elsewhere, which can actually help stabilize energy systems.

• Energy → Trust
Through mining, energy is transformed into a globally verifiable monetary network that anyone can rely on.

Another powerful point was about the criticism that Bitcoin mining wastes energy. In reality, much of Bitcoin mining uses stranded or wasted energy energy that would otherwise never be used because it is too far from demand centers or produced in excess.

Mining can capture that unused energy and convert it into economic value, while also creating open and competitive energy markets.

For me, this session reinforced something important: Bitcoin is not just digital money. It is a system that connects energy, technology, and economic freedom in ways that can unlock real opportunities for communities around the world.

This evening whilst coming from the Hospital,I was deeply touched by something I saw. A young man,a secondary school boy was pushing a young girl in a wheelchair. Their school must be almost a kilometre from where I met them. But what moved me most was how he pushed her with so much joy. He wasn’t tired, he wasn’t complaining, he was full of stories, laughing, and genuinely enjoying helping her.

In that moment, it hit me, this must be a good soul. A supportive soul. One of those rare hearts in our society. He could have chosen to walk with his friends, to chat with other boys or girls, but instead he chose to push this young lady with love and commitment. I know how the back feels after bending for long, how tiring it can be,but he didn’t stop.

And then I remembered the people in our own lives who bent their backs for us. Those who pushed us forward even when they were tired. Those who believed in our dreams and defended us in rooms we weren’t in. Those who said, “Let me check your app,this could be a great Bitcoin app.” Those who left their own comfort to pay school fees for us. Those who saw a job opportunity and immediately thought of us and we got the job. Those who believed in our missions and funded us.

How often do we go back and say, even in a simple prayer, “Lord, thank You, and bless these people”?

A grateful heart is truly a magnet for blessings.

Teaching about Bitcoin is like spreading the gospel bringing the lost sheep back to where they belong. It is about freeing people from chains they have carried for so long, from systems that gave them no hope, stole their time, and wasted their energy.

Money should be treated with respect. It is spiritual. It changes lives. It should never be controlled by authorities who put their own interests and emotions above the needs of the people. That is not good money that is a tool of oppression.

But now, there is a solution,Bitcoin.
A decentralized technology and monetary asset.
Censorship resistant.
Borderless.
Permissionless.
A form of money that brings freedom and protects human rights.

In many ways,advocating for Bitcoin is advocating for people’s dignity, sovereignty, and financial independence.

Malawians, Africans, and people everywhere deserve the power to hold their own non custodial wallets and take full control of their money.

Tonight’s class by Stacey Biko of Bitcoin Dada was truly amazing. I have learnt about what I love the most "wallets" because at the end of the day, wallets are all about money, specifically how we access Bitcoin.

I learnt about the different types of wallets and what private keys, public keys, and seed phrases really mean. I finally understand the difference between custodial and non custodial wallets. I have learnt that custodial wallets are controlled by a third party or central authority and that custodial wallets are fully controlled by you. You are responsible for everything, and if you lose your seed phrase, you cannot recover your Bitcoin.I have also learnt the importance of backing up and properly storing your private keys and seed phrase. If you don’t keep them safe, you lose access and when they’re gone, your Bitcoin is gone too. Imagine so far Bitcoin equivalent to 140 billion USD has been lost due to one losing the private keys.

Another interesting part was learning about multisignature wallets, which require multiple private keys to approve a transaction. This adds an extra layer of security because no single person or device can move the Bitcoin alone.Tonight’s session was truly eye opening, and I’m excited to keep learning!

2026 looks so bright and beautiful because of the incredible Bitcoin communities I’ve come across. And among them, Bitcoin Dada Kenya truly deserves deep respect.

They have become a real inspiration standing strong for African women and pushing us to dream, think, imagine, and become through Bitcoin education and digital skills. Bitcoin Dada is the motivation every African woman needs today. It carries values, vision, and a deep commitment to shaping not just a moment but generations.

There is so much Ubuntu spirit in this sisterhood holding each other up, trusting each other, telling one another,
“Sister, get up and change your situation.”

Bitcoin Dada says to the African woman,
“It is time to open your eyes to this new Bitcoin technology.”
“Sister, this is the financial system that can take you out of the mud, out of disappointment, out of constant worry."

African women are being empowered in ways we haven’t seen before. And with Bitcoin Dada’s classes, we will never again be the African women people used to underestimate.
We will stand tall.
We will impact lives.
We will let our actions speak louder than words.
And above all, we will share this knowledge with more African women, because empowerment grows stronger when it is passed on.

Thank you, Bitcoin Dada, for the inspiration, the knowledge, and the empowerment.
Backward never. Forward ever.

I really loved how one of the speakers in the Bitcoin Today space ended his remarks. He said he’s finally found a community he belongs to after ten years of feeling misunderstood being told he wasn’t thinking right and even losing relationships along the way. Yet here we are today with Bitcoin,something mathetically and provably sound, something we can stand behind. It reminds us that we need to hold hands, open more eyes, and help people see how long we’ve been oppressed by taxes and inflation. It’s time to say “no more” and choose a better path.

My Journey as a YakiHonne Ambassador

As my ambassador role with YakiHonne comes to an end this month, I can confidently say this experience has been nothing short of transformative. Being part of this incredible ecosystem has allowed me to connect, learn, and grow in ways I never imagined.

What truly stood out for me was the networking meeting brilliant minds from across the world, exchanging ideas, and understanding how Web3 communities thrive through collaboration. YakiHonne didn’t just give me a platform; it gave me a community, a voice, and meaningful relationships that I will carry forward.

I’m grateful for the opportunity to contribute, engage, and represent a project that values connection, innovation, and impact. This role has expanded my perspective, sharpened my skills, and strengthened my passion for building in the decentralized world.

So this month end I will walk away inspired, connected, and proud to have been part of this journey.
YakiHonne will always remain a meaningful chapter in my Web3 story.

Bitcoin was not created to necessarily make anyone rich but it was created because the traditional financial system is broken,corrupt.
