Free Bitcoin education & onboarding resources

Bitcoin Ubuntu is a South African volunteer organization focused on Bitcoin-only education and onboarding. We offer free educational resources, merchant onboarding, and in person or online consultation. We host community events, discussions and workshops locally and online.

What is Ubuntu?

Translated as “I am because we are”, the Ubuntu philosophy asserts that it is community which gives human beings their humanity, and that a person is a person through other people.

Education projects we contribute to

Through our collaboration as a light node with My First Bitcoin (MFB) we’ve assisted in delivering the Bitcoin Diploma curriculum to more than 10 cohorts, delivering free, high quality, open-source education to hundreds of students from around the globe. We contribute to cohorts hosted out of South Africa, Kenya, Nigeria and Malawi, with a view to adding more regions as opportunities arise.

Let us know if you’d like to collaborate and help to make free, high quality, Bitcoin-only education more accessible to your community!
