Note that Bitcoin was an explicit goal for ~30 years. It didn't just come out of nowhere. People understood that uncensorable digital money would be important decades before the technology was worked out. teapawt.net/btcmrkts/status/964258…

Be your own M-Pesa. For example, find a trade using a P2P matching service such as @LocalBitcoins, @bisq_network or @HodlHodl. Get cash without an ID. #Bitcoin teapawt.net/Hrhmakanda/status/9651…
Hi @SafaricomLtd how comes when you deposit/withdraw cash from an Agent they ask for an ID but not when one does a Lipa na MPESA transaction or even withdraw via mpesa from Atm? What is the mischief?

"The most common reason people cited for not having a bank account was they did not have enough money." businessinsider.com/the-worl… Be your own bank. Buy Bitcoin. When Lightning network is integrated with exchanges and Bitcoin-accepting merchants, trx fees will no longer be an issue.
