I love liberating innovations. Most especially, the one that give th government less power over your socioeconomic life. Governments and their fiat have been total failures in the way they have manage most economies in Africa. Bitcoin and the lightning network is freedom!

Bitcoin is a non-state, immutable, digital, decentralized, borderless, permission-less, censorship resistant, worldwide, peer to peer electronic cash, sound money, and store of value. The only solution to economic sovereignty in Africa is the adoption of Bitcoin, the Global Currency without a point of failure, unlike the centralized fiat currencies.

Oh, yes. I've been always in touch with the creator of Machankura, dear Kgothatso Ngako. The company aims at covering the entire continent, since there is very low internet penetration. Most people use Mobile Money services, which have high service fees and can't reach far enough as compared to Bitcoin.
