In this enlightening episode, I sit down with Abubakar, the CEO of Recursive Capital and a board member of BTrust Builders, to discuss the future of Bitcoin and Lightning development, particularly in Africa. He shares his insights on the importance of nurturing highly skilled developers on the continent, providing them with access to jobs, talent, and mentoring to advance the Bitcoin ecosystem.

We delve into the various projects he's involved in, including Volt, a financial freedom wallet, and the impact of initiatives like BTrust Builders in training developers. Abubakar highlights the rapid progress African developers have made in contributing to Bitcoin Core and other significant projects, emphasizing the importance of open-source contributions for job security and ecosystem growth.

The conversation also touches on the challenges and opportunities in the Bitcoin VC landscape in Africa, with Recursive Capital being the only Bitcoin-focused VC on the continent. He shares his vision for fostering a resilient Bitcoin ecosystem through strategic investments and community-driven development.

Toward the end of our discussion, we explore the ethical considerations in the Bitcoin space, the role of virtue and integrity, and the personal growth journey that comes with being part of this transformative movement. His reflections on his spiritual journey and the importance of prioritizing virtue over ego offer profound insights for anyone navigating the Bitcoin world.

Join us for a thought-provoking conversation that spans technology, ethics, and personal growth, and discover why Africa is poised to play a pivotal role in the future of Bitcoin development.
