Bitcoin Anambra x Trezor Academy Successfully Conclude 3-day Bitcoin Immersion Class in Awka, Nigeria.
A free three-day Bitcoin Physical Immersion Class organized by Bitcoin Anambra in partnership with Trezor Academy concluded successfully in Awka over the weekend of June 26–28, 2026.
The program equipped participants with foundational Bitcoin knowledge, practical skills, and critical awareness of risks — positioning Bitcoin as a tool for long-term financial protection rather than speculation.
The event, described by organizers as Bitcoin Anambra’s first Physical Immersion Class, drew engaged locals eager to understand Bitcoin in the context of Nigeria’s ongoing currency challenges.
Sessions combined theory, hands-on demonstrations, and open discussions.
Day 1: Foundations of Money and Bitcoin
On Friday, June 26, facilitators explored core questions: Why does money exist? What makes it work or fail? How does the Nigerian Naira compare to Bitcoin in everyday use?
Participants examined how inflation erodes purchasing power, noting that everyday expenses keep rising while savings lose value. The interactive format sparked lively questions and helped attendees connect long-standing economic frustrations to broader monetary principles.
“The room was locked in. Questions were flying. People were connecting dots they’d never connected before,” shared Kester Ejikeme, Founder, Bitcoin Anambra.
Day 2: Hands-On Bitcoin Skills and Scam Awareness
Real-world spending tools were demonstrated, including options for airtime, data, and gift cards. A major highlight was an honest discussion on risks: day trading, leverage, and scams that misuse Bitcoin’s name (such as past schemes like MMM and CBEX). The conversation resonated deeply with the room.
Day 3: Building Personal Bitcoin Strategies
Sunday, June 28, focused on long-term application. Participants developed personal strategies for using Bitcoin to protect savings and build financial resilience — not for trading or speculation.
Attendees received educational materials, including the book Bitcoin: Separation of Money and State by Josef Tětek.
Feedback was overwhelmingly positive, with participants celebrating the completion of the full program.
A participant highlighted the value of combining technical knowledge with Bitcoin’s philosophical foundations.
Why This Matters for Nigerians?
Nigeria continues to face significant currency devaluation and inflation pressures. Programs like this provide accessible, localized education that helps people understand alternatives to traditional fiat systems.
Trezor Academy runs free, in-person Bitcoin training sessions worldwide, led by local experts. The initiative has reached thousands across dozens of countries, with a strong focus on practical adoption — especially in Africa.
Bitcoin Anambra focuses on driving real Bitcoin adoption in Anambra State, including merchant acceptance and building a circular economy.
