Join us on our twelfth Bitcoin Socratic Seminar! A special thank you to our sponsor Btrust for food and refreshments.
Moderator: Tobechi
Speakers: Theophilus Isah, Tobi Bamidele
Theophilus and TObi walked us through how they both came into the Bitcoin space.
For Theophilus, right after school, he has always been excited about exploring the web3 space. Curiosity led him to join the genesis cohort of BTrust Builders (formerly known as Qala). Theophilus has so far worked and contributed to Bitcoin projects such as Galoy money, Chaincode. A lapse in Bitcoin adoption and use cases in Nigeria and Africa, led him, and his team to start the Mavapay project.
Similar to Theophilus journey, is Tobi, who is a software engineer from the nothern part of Nigeria.
Tobi got introduced into Bitcoin when it was offered to him as a payment for a contract job he once did.
Tobi has ever since then been learning extensively of Bitcoin. He was also among the 13 selected for the
BTrust builders (aka. Qala) genesis cohort.
Ever since the cohort, Tobi has been contributing and building Sphinx chat, a decentralized
social media organization. 2024, he joined Theophilus and now works on Mavapay in the role of CTO.
Introducing the Human Right Foundation (HRF) program to developers in the house. Opportunities that HRF provides to individual contributors, open source projects, event organizers pushing adoption and expressing several use cases of Bitcoin in Africa.
MC: Emmanuel Itakpe
