Satoshee

African Bitcoiners
African Bitcoiners

Satoshee was born and raised in Kaduna, Northern Nigeria, and studied Software Engineering in Ghana. Beginning his career as a frontend developer before moving into UI/UX and graphic design, he discovered Bitcoin through a friend and became deeply curious about its transformative potential for Africa.

Today, he is passionate about educating Africans on how Bitcoin addresses challenges such as inflation, financial exclusion, and cross-border payments. His work reflects this mission: at African Bitcoiners, he helps drive the creation of educational resources such as the Bitcoin for Beginners course, the African Bitcoin Ecosystem Infographic, the Bitcoin Starter Book, the Mining Report, and interactive tools like the Inflation Simulator and Bitcoin Savings Calculator. He also organizes a monthly Bitcoin awareness meetup in his community.

Through Africa Free Routing, he helps train the next generation of Bitcoin developers via Lightning Development Bootcamps (already hosted in five African cities), and drives merchant adoption through the Africa Bitcoin Retail Initiative. Recently, he led the organization of the first-ever Bitcoin Summit in Northern Nigeria.

In addition, he mentors women in hackathons across Nigeria—particularly from Northern Nigeria—helping them learn about Bitcoin and use design to bring their solutions to life.

His mission is clear: to empower Africans with the knowledge and tools to leverage Bitcoin as a pathway to freedom and economic resilience.
