⚡ Bitcoin Payments Continue Going Mainstream in #Africa! 🇿🇦🛒

South Africans can now buy groceries with #Bitcoin at #PickNPay’s 1,600+ stores using #MoneyBadger’s CryptoQR and blinkbtc (nprofile…lfqf) —bringing fast, low-fee #BTC transactions to everyday shopping.

🔹 How it Works:
⚡ Scan a QR code at checkout
⚡ Pay instantly via the Lightning Network ⚡
⚡ No fiat conversion, no extra apps—pure #Bitcoin payments

🔹 The Numbers Don't Lie:
📈 285% increase in Bitcoin payments at PickNPay (2023-2024)
💳 79% of transactions via Lightning (Q3 2024)
👥 66% of SA crypto holders want to spend BTC

🚀 Why This Matters:
🔸 Bitcoin is a medium of exchange
🔸 Faster than tap-to-pay, cheaper than credit cards
🔸 More merchants + better UX = Bitcoin adoption increase

Bitcoiners, this is what progress looks like. 🌍⚡ Who’s next #nostr?
