BOBR on Tour - EP09: Kgothatso Ngako from Machankura, On-ramping Bitcoin in Africa via SMS 11/06/2023

BOBR on Tour - EP09: Kgothatso Ngako from Machankura, On-ramping Bitcoin in Africa via SMS Machankura is a digital wallet created by Kgothatso Ngako, a South African computer science researcher and developer, that allows people to send and receive Bitcoin without a smartphone or internet connection. In Africa, approximately 741 million people do not have internet access, so many people in the continent use feature phones with limited functionality instead. Machankura aims to provide access to payments and basic financial services like payments, savings, and credit to the unbanked population of Africa. Machankura combines USSD technology with Bitcoin's Lightning Network to enable cheaper and faster Bitcoin transactions. To send Bitcoin through Machankura, users dial a special code for their resident country and create a five-digit PIN. Machankura has debuted in eight African countries and has only attracted 3,000 users so far, but Ngako expects an inflection point to be around the corner. One of the biggest obstacles he's facing today is getting people without internet access to acquire and use Bitcoin. /episode/index/show/6037cad9-7a37-4261-8b55-3cf6adbd162d/id/28525325

BOBR - EP05: How Currency Devaluation Impacts Our Food Supply with Texas Slim and Captain Sidd What happened in 1971? The move away from the gold standard may have contributed to the industrialization and centralization of the food system, as subsidies and regulations may have favored large agribusinesses over smaller, independent farmers who may prioritize sustainable and nutritious farming practices. Texas Slim and Captain Sidd explain to us how "The Beef Initiative" is closing that gap. Bitcoiners and ranchers share values such as personal sovereignty and asset management. /episode/index/show/6037cad9-7a37-4261-8b55-3cf6adbd162d/id/28524947
