My guest in this episode is Tim Akinbo. He comes from Nigeria and is involved in the Bitcoin space since 2014. I got to know Tim when I asked for bitcoin donations for a school in Harare, Zimbabwe. He contacted me on Twitter and offered to setup a BTCpayserver so that we can receive lightning payments, too. That was of great help. I looked him up and realized that Tim is also a Bitcoin Core contributor, Software developer and has a lot of experience with e-commerce and international payments. "I think from an individual perspective, Bitcoin will make it possible for people to really, really save, on the African continent." - Tim Akinbo "I really have not been able to figure out, if any other Altcoin really has any use case, besides probably providing some avenue for a speculation, but in terms of real world use cases, I don't think that any of the so-called limitations of Bitcoin are strong enough to actually kind of overcome it's network effects and liquidity." - Tim Akinbo Our topics: How he learned about Bitcoin His contribution to Bitcoin Core The use-cases for Bitcoin in Nigeria and Ghana Methods of payments in Nigeria His perspective on zimbo.cash Use-cases for Altcoins The deprecation of the Naira Bitcoin as a store of value for African people His new project to make full nodes in Africa visible Full Transcript: https://bitcoinundco.com/en/tim-akinbo/ ---------- Thank you to my sponsors: LocalBitcoins.com - the peer-to-peer Bitcoin exchange.
