It’s Christmas Eve🎄 As the year comes to an end, one of the most meaningful gifts we can give is opportunity. In the next two months, Africa Free Routing is hosting two hands-on Lightning Developer Bootcamps in South Africa: • 🇿🇦 Cape Town — January 19th to 23rd, 2026: bit.ly/capetown-bootcamp • 🇿🇦 Johannesburg — February 9th to 13th, 2026: freerouting.africa/johannesburg-lightning-developer-bootcamp These bootcamps are designed to equip African developers with real Bitcoin & Lightning skills, hands-on experience, and a strong builder community. If you know a developer, student, or tech enthusiast in your network, share this with them. Sometimes, changing a career or a community starts with a single link. Let’s keep building Africa’s Lightning future together ⚡

Do you really know what is the Lightning Network? It’s a second layer on Bitcoin that makes transactions instant and almost free. Why it matters: - Microtransactions (think streaming, tipping) - Everyday BTC payments - Scales Bitcoin globally 🌍
