Did you know? On the African continent, there’s a revolutionary Bitcoin app that lets even people without smartphones easily use Bitcoin! This is Machankura, South African slang for “money”).
🌍 Its story: It all started in 2022, when South African developer Kgothatso “Kgotso” Ngako @kgothatso@8333.mobi saw that many people in Africa are excluded from traditional finance—no internet, no apps, but they need simple and reliable tools. He had a flash of inspiration and built this custodial wallet, designed specifically for feature phones, bringing the Bitcoin Lightning Network into remote villages. Now, it’s operating in 9 African countries, helping thousands achieve financial independence!
📱 How does it work?
At first, the coolest part is using SMS and USSD (just like dialing a phone code):
• Dial *8333# to register a wallet.
• Send an SMS to transfer sats (Bitcoin’s smallest unit), no internet required! Imagine using an old Nokia phone to send and receive Bitcoin—zero cost, zero barriers.
