I just had a great conversation with an Ethiopian uber driver in Washington DC. He described the disastrous inflation experienced by his family back home, but did note that 33% inflation isn't as bad as a lot of other places! Of course I orange pilled him, but you never know whether it takes.

I started using Bitnob when I learnt they are going into partnership with Strike. Bought over 25k sats there just to test if it is working. I will be using it for my DCA.

The Bitnob app recently received a UX redesign. A new "Transfer" button adds the ability to send directly to a bank account or mobile money wallet in the countries that Bitnob supports (Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Rwanda, Benin, Senegal, Ivory Coast, and Togo).

The recipient doesn't have to use bitnob or provide any information -- the funds just arrive.

This lets a person in almost any country (except the U.S. and the handful of countries on the OFAC list) add funds to their bitnob app using bitcoin, convert them to USD, then Transfer fiat to the recipient in their currency to their bank account or mobile money wallet.

Or those in any of the eight countries that Bitnob supports (listed above), they can add funds not just from bitcoin, but also local fiat (e.g., bank transfer or by using mobile money). And then from there send to any bank account or mobile money wallet in any of those eight countries as well.

Say goodbye to Western Union, Moneygram, WorldRemit, SendWave, Wise, and more -- at least for these eight countries!!!

Here's the Tweet from Bitnob that kicked off the Twitter thread where they announced this Transfer feature:
