A long and interesting read, covering lots of uplifting bitcoin activity in Africa. Thanks.
I was expecting to see Machankura mentioned and wasn't disappointed:
Machankura is planning to release a proof-of-concept that allows users to self-custody. If it works smoothly, it will be one of the biggest innovations in Bitcoin’s history, allowing people without the internet to actually be their own bank.
(Emphasis mine,)
That may be a bit of a stretch, but I look forward to seeing this pan out.
