The Bitcoin & M-Pesa App that's TRANSFORMING Payments in Kenya (and East Africa)... Tando #14

Yo! I love Tando. Here's all about the app that's transforming Bitcoin in Kenya and East Africa.This podcast features an interview with Sabina and Jason, co-founders of Tando, a Kenyan Bitcoin app. Tando leverages M-Pesa, Kenya’s ubiquitous mobile money platform, to allow users to seamlessly spend Bitcoin for everyday purchases. The interview explores the Kenyan Bitcoin community, the role of women in Bitcoin adoption (highlighted by Bitcoin Dada), the challenges of introducing Bitcoin to a population familiar with scams, and the rapid growth and potential of Tando. The founders discuss their monetisation strategy, future plans for expansion, and the unique opportunities Bitcoin presents in Africa.Timestamps & Chapters:0:00 Bitcoin’s Opportunity for Africa & Kenya Day0:36 Introducing Tando: Bitcoin for Everyday Life2:09 Bitcoin Dada & Women’s Financial Empowerment5:18 How M-Pesa Transformed Kenya’s Payments8:32 Bitcoin’s Role in Financial Independence10:18 The Growing Bitcoin Community in Kenya11:55 Tando’s Vision & How It Works14:54 Tando’s Launch & Explosive Growth19:19 How Tando Connects Bitcoin & M-Pesa22:02 Can Tando Survive a Bear Market?24:01 Spending Bitcoin in Kenya: A Real-World Test27:40 Bitcoin Adoption vs. Merchant Onboarding30:11 The Proof of Spend Concept37:39 Does Tando Prevent Bitcoin Merchant Adoption?42:00 Lightning Round: Fun Questions & Predictions46:09 The Future of Bitcoin in Kenya & Tando49:21 Common Bitcoin Criticisms in Kenya52:12 Why Tando Matters & Final Thoughts57:08 Where to Follow Tando & Closing RemarksSupport my work and help spread Bitcoin education:⚡ Send Bitcoin over Lightning: https://pay.blink.sv/joen⛏️ On-chain Bitcoin: bc1qu0k0fgc3n2r96r7ww6r65zxkqmr68da833s39e*Learn More About Bitcoin*📚 Dive into Bitcoin education with Plan B Network.Visit: https://planb.network/Plan B Network offers world-class tools and free educational resources to help individuals and communities regain their financial sovereignty.
