Bitcoin’s Lightning Network Is Enabling Instant Fiat Transfers Between Europe and Africa
By Namcios

Bitcoin app CoinCorner has enabled a feature that allows foreign users to send low-cost instant remittances to Africa, via a partnership with Africa-based Bitcoin app Bitnob.
The move comes after a similar collaboration between Bitnob and Lightning payments app Strike, which enabled the latter's U.S. users to instantly transfer money to bank accounts in Nigeria, Ghana and Kenya with minimal fees. Send Globally connects users in Africa with those in the U.S., EU and U.K. through the Lightning Network, Bitcoin's low-cost and fast payment overlay protocol.

How Dozens Of Denver Middle Schoolers Became Bitcoin Entrepreneurs
By Ryan Birch, Anthony Feliciano and Mark Maraia

Three Bitcoiners went to a local Denver middle school to teach students there about the properties of money and Bitcoin.
They first were introduced to what bitcoin was and why it was important, of course, followed by a quick demonstration on downloading a Muun Wallet and generating Lightning invoices.
They then received sats passed out from the programs demonstrators. Soon, the entrepreneurs were happily accepting sats for payment. The authors encourage any readers who are interested to consider doing a similar program at an educational center near them.
