I found it very easy to introduce people to #Bitcoin in #Kenya.
It could also work in East Africa, and possibly with #giraffes (see video) 🦒 🦒
Here's how it works:
1) pay the business or uber or whatever via mobile money called Mpesa.
Mpesa is EVERYWHERE in Kenya.
You do this using in bitcoi Tando.me (npub1tan…8sax) but be explicit.
Tell them you are using Bitcoin.
2) The business realises, "oh interesting, Bitcoin has value! It's money!"
3) Ask to tip them. Do it in Bitcoin.
They don't think bitcoin is a scam anymore *GREAT SUCCESS* because you just paid them in btc.
I found that 10 times out of 10 they say yes to the bitcoin tip.
4) Ask them to download blinkbtc (npub13lj…cfhw).
It's the best wallet for total beginners.
It's custodial, duuuh, but it has a section called "earn" in which people learn about bitcoin. Small steps.
5) Tip them in Bitcoin to their Blink wallet.
Use something with a fun graphic like the CoinCorner wallet if you are filming (lol)
Or use a noncustodial wallet like BitKit if you want to explain custody vs. non custody.
6) Get them to download Tando.
Show that they can send money from bitcoin to fiat via Mpesa using their Blink and Tando wallets
Sounds confusing?
Yeah it kinda does when I write it down like that.
But i did this loads and it had a great strike rate.
Here's an example. *Youtube link below*
