Part 3: Using Bitcoin in Zimbabwe - Bitcoin in Africa: The Ubuntu Way

April 02, 2020

In the third part of the six-part series about Bitcoin in Africa you will hear from two early bitcoin adopters based in Harare. We speak about

* the different usecases for bitcoin,
* how it can be exchanged to US Dollar and RTGS,
* what the obstacles and pros are,
* about regulation and
* what the two online entrepreneurs want to tell people outside of Africa.

After the two interviews I will answer a listener's question about the possibilities for rural communities to use bitcoin.

This special is edited by CoinDesk’s Podcasts Editor Adam B. Levine and published first on the CoinDesk Podcast Network. Thank you very much for supporting the Bitcoin in Africa series with your work.

Thanks goes also out to stakwork.com - stakwork is a great project that brings bitcoin into the world through earning. One can do microjobs on stakwork, earning Satoshis and cash them out without even having an understanding about the lightning network or bitcoin. I think we need more projects like that to spread the usage of bitcoin around the world.

Thank you also to GoTenna https://gotenna.com/, for donating several GoTenna devices to set up a mesh network in Zimbabwe and to Team Satoshi https://teamsatoshi.org/, the decentralized sports team for supporting my work.
