<p>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.<br /><br />Tando: <a href="https://tando.me/" target="_blank">https://tando.me/</a><br />Tando on X: <a href="https://x.com/tando_me" target="_blank">https://x.com/tando_me</a><br />Tando on Nostr: <a href="https://primal.net/p/nprofile1qqs97ekh6cxykm34l0m5ddrlymhj9rxrys3jemtf90psy3nysum0lkcvrgxmd" target="_blank">https://primal.net/p/nprofile1qqs97ekh6cxykm34l0m5ddrlymhj9rxrys3jemtf90psy3nysum0lkcvrgxmd</a> <br />Bitcoin Kenya: <a href="https://bitcoin.co.ke" target="_blank">https://bitcoin.co.ke</a><br /><br />EPISODE: 205<br />BLOCK: 952989<br />PRICE: 1640 sats per dollar<br /><br />more info on the show: <a href="https://citadeldispatch.com" target="_blank">https://citadeldispatch.com</a><br />learn more about me: <a href="https://odell.xyz" target="_blank">https://odell.xyz</a><br />monitor the situation: <a href="https://citadelwire.com" target="_blank">https://citadelwire.com</a><br />ten31: <a href="https://ten31.xyz" target="_blank">https://ten31.xyz</a><br />opensats: <a href="https://opensats.org" target="_blank">https://opensats.org</a></p>
