About Fodé Diop's Twitter Score
Fod Diop is a Senegalese Bitcoin educator and software developer who focuses on using Bitcoin and the Lightning Network to counter CFA franc monetary colonialism in Francophone Africa. Fod Diop's Twitter Score is 57 out of 1000 (a Good rating) as of August 2026, ranking #15,171 (top 5%) among 483,944 tracked accounts.
Fod Diop founded the Bitcoin Developers Academy, which trains students to build Bitcoin applications using the Rust programming language. His personal connection to the CFA franc runs deep: a January 1994 devaluation of the currency cut his family's tuition savings in half overnight, just before he was set to enroll at Emporia State University in Kansas to study engineering and play basketball. That experience shaped his conviction that open monetary infrastructure is a matter of economic survival, a perspective later featured in Alex Gladstein's Bitcoin Magazine essay "Fighting Monetary Colonialism With Open-Source Code."
Fod Diop returned to Senegal to run Bitcoin meetups, collect Lightning donations, and build mesh-network relay boxes that pay operators in bitcoin via Lightning, helping users stay connected when telecom gateways go down. He has promoted a Senegal Bitcoin Beach initiative under the BitcoinTeranga and BitcoinCitySenegal hashtags, and traveled to El Salvador in 2021 to support that country's Bitcoin rollout after it adopted bitcoin as legal tender. He is affiliated with the Human Rights Foundation, which featured him in a video on why Bitcoin matters for human rights.
Fod Diop has been an active presence on the Bitcoin conference circuit, delivering a keynote at the Bitcoin 2022 Conference, speaking on the "From El Salvador to Sénégal" panel at Adopting Bitcoin 2021, and being interviewed by Reason at the Bitcoin 2021 Miami conference. Earlier, he won a 2019 transportation hackathon by building a Lightning invoice that unlocked a Tesla, and received a travel scholarship to the Lightning conference in Berlin from Lightning Labs CEO Elizabeth Stark. Fod Diop has written 10,056 posts on the platform and has been mentioned by 64 accounts, totaling 109 mentions.
