This is a big milestone for us, our popular Bitcoin for Beginners course, which has already helped thousands take their first steps into Bitcoin, is now fully translated and available in French.
Why does this matter?
French is spoken by over 120 million people across Africa and is a key language for communities where Bitcoin is increasingly being used to save, transact, and protect wealth. By making this course available in French, we’re opening the doors for more people to understand Bitcoin’s power as a tool for freedom, financial sovereignty, and self-reliance.
And it’s not just a translation , we’ve ensured the course remains free, accessible, and written in a friendly, beginner-focused style that meets learners where they are. From “What is Bitcoin?” to “How do I store Bitcoin safely?”, we cover the basics in clear, simple language.
Whether you’re brand new to Bitcoin or you know someone who’s curious but prefers learning in French, this course is designed to make the journey easy, approachable, and empowering.
Bitcoin is introduced into Africa’s largest slum, with risks and rewards
In Kibera’s Soweto West neighborhood around 200 residents have adopted bitcoin as a means of payment thanks to AfriBit Africa’s initiative to improve financial inclusion. Local garbage collectors receive bitcoin-denominated grants and act as key agents of adoption.
Is the bitcoin surge an opportunity for Africa?
Bitcoin’s value has surged dramatically since Donald Trump’s reelection, driven by pro-crypto policies like appointing a “crypto czar” and a pro-bitcoin SEC head. This momentum has rippled into Africa, where countries like Nigeria, Kenya, and Morocco are seeing increasing adoption.
