Shoutout to the people who did the first ever bitcoin-to-mpesa bridges over a decade ago (Kipochi, Bitpesa, @bumi), but were shut down by Safaricom at the time!
I didn’t know this. Where can I find more?
I met Pelle in Nairobi in 2013 or 14. Here's his account about Kipochi:
Bitpesa was shut down by Safaricom in the same year IIRC, but apparently turned into an exchange later:

hm, try it again it should work without login now.
I wish he would have just accepted the BTC back then.

The revolution will happen from the bottom up.
So true, it's the impoverished and the unbanked that this technology really shines bright for.
I enjoyed watching this one too!
Great film!
Another great episode @Joe Nakamoto
Showing the world the real use of Bitcoin with boots on the ground.

Always interested to learn what wallets people use around the world. I’ve seen Bitkit and Pheonix in the videos but would love to know what people in all these countries prefer? Assume WoS?
Blink Bitcoin wallet mostly!
That so cool love to see the impact of one community all over the world!
Awesome video Joe! Really enjoyed it.
Do you think it would be possible to share the QR codes of the merchants you visit on screen for the viewers? For future videos 😃.
Tried some of them but they weren't in focus enough for my camera to pick up.
Thanks in advance!
They certainly need bitcoin there!
Must watch. Amazing what's happening in the Kibera slums.
