Thank you, @HRF for the support and for highlighting what we’re building at BitSpenda. We truly appreciate it! 🙏
Replying to @gladstein
🌍 Across Africa, cross-border payments are often slow, costly, and dependent on intermediaries @bitspenda lets users send bitcoin from a Lightning wallet to a mobile money account in Nigeria and Kenya, home to 300M people HRF supports faster, freer payments across the region

Meanwhile, someone is stressing about Ghana expenses while others are already using #Bitcoin for everyday life. 😂⚡️
One week in Accra, and I also witnessed the power of Bitcoin while using apps like @bitspenda and @Mavapay_Money for my daily expenses. Bitcoin is freedom

Proof of work. Proof of shopping😄⚡️ Exactly why we built @bitspenda. Thanks for trusting us, @AlexLi98! Akwaba to Ghana! 🇬🇭🧡
Bitcoin is money! Was able to use @bitspenda to buy some local clothes from a merchant in Ghana. I send sats, the merchant gets Ghanian cedi deposited to her mobile money account instantly.

Over the past few weeks, the team has been putting in a lot of work behind the scenes, and it’s great to finally see some of it come to life. BitSpenda is now live in 5 countries: Ghana 🇬🇭, Nigeria 🇳🇬, Kenya 🇰🇪, Uganda 🇺🇬, and Cameroon 🇨🇲. There’s still a lot more happening in the background. The team is constantly building and improving on products, a lot of groundworks. Our goal is simple: make Bitcoin easier to access, easier to use, and useful for everyday life across Africa. Alongside that, we believe education matters. The more people understand Bitcoin, the more confidently they can use it. Thanks to everyone who’s been supporting and sharing feedback. We’ve got a lot more coming. 🔥
We’re growing! 🚀 BitSpenda can now process payments to two more companies, and that means we’re officially live in 5 countries across Africa. Say hello to our newest markets: Uganda 🇺🇬 and Cameroon 🇨🇲 Click on the link below for the full blog bitspenda.app/blog/bitspenda…
