Earlier this month, I and my Co @Onionsman purchased a domain bitpension.io and paid on'chain fees less $1.

Just today, I transferred $363 worth of bitcoins to fund my Bitnob card to pay for a delaware company registration and paid less than 50 cents for on'chain fees.

Yet, shitcoiners ething away still gonna say Bitcoin fees is high and can't scale.

F**k! Bitcoin fees too high 😑 can't scale, they say

Africa, what exchanges support Lightning?

It is not, although some hype, but data shows https://triple-a.io/crypto-ownership-data/

Yeah, they are! used it recently. And it is faster than alternatives.

Yeah, And I don't think customers in countries like Nigeria, Ghana, and Kenya are able to purchase Bitcoin on Kraken, or wrong?

Yeah, your observations regarding Bitnob are mostly true as I have encountered some downtime in the past and failed withdrawals.

However, regarding Strike, it is impossible to purchase Bitcoin on Strike in Nigeria but only to send and receive. The last time I tried using Strike from Nigeria, I was unable to purchase Bitcoin.

Thanks for mentioning Robotsat.

If you’re in Africa, buying Bitcoin is no longer an issue with 100+ platforms available. But, most platforms lack Lightning Network support, making transactions slow and costly on-chain. 

I found four exchanges that support lightning:

1.  Binance
2.  Bitnob
3.  Paxful
4.  CashWyre

Do you know any other? will love to add to this [article](https://monierate.com/blog/top-bitcoin-exchanges-in-nigeria-with-lightning-network-support).
