BitDevs Gitega

A community of Bitcoin developers, educators, builders, and technically curious minds in Gitega — exploring the inner workings of Bitcoin through meetups, workshops, and Socratic Seminars.

Who We Are

BitDevs Gitega is a hub for Bitcoin developers, educators, builders, and enthusiasts inspired by the original BitDevs NYC. We host educational and technical sessions focused on the Bitcoin protocol, Lightning Network, privacy tools, and practical local use cases — empowering developers in Gitega to build for the global open-source ecosystem.

We also share opportunities such as developer grants, fellowships, bounties, and job openings to help grow local talent and bridge Gitega’s builders with the international Bitcoin development community.

Socratic Seminars

Our Socratic Seminars encourage deep learning and open discussion around Bitcoin protocol development, privacy improvements, and emerging technologies. Sessions feature curated topics from BitDevs mailing lists, BIPs, GitHub PRs, research papers, and current open-source progress.

Participants are invited to read in advance and bring questions or insights to share. Sessions are not recorded — they are designed to be candid, informal, and thought-provoking. Some include lightning talks, live demos, or small breakout groups to foster collaboration.

Beginners are welcome — we cultivate an inclusive space for anyone curious about Bitcoin’s technical foundations.
