CD205: JASON - TANDO - SPEND BITCOIN ANYWHERE IN KENYA
About this episode
Jason discusses Tando, a Bitcoin payments app in Kenya that connects Lightning to M-PESA, and its implications for Bitcoin circular economies.
Jason joins to discuss Tando, a Bitcoin payments app in Kenya that connects Lightning to M-PESA. We get into why M-PESA dominates Kenyan payments, how Tando lets Bitcoiners spend sats anywhere M-PESA is accepted, and why pragmatic fiat bridges help bootstrap real Bitcoin circular economies. Then we discuss phone numbers as financial identities, Lightning addresses for Kenyan phone numbers, KYC-free Bitcoin flows, merchant adoption, AI-assisted development, upcoming Kenya Bitcoin events, and the changing regulatory environment.
