Bitcoin Even Without Internet: KG's Mission to Transform Africa
Season 1 Episode 185
In this episode, I sit down with my talented friend KG, a developer and rapper, who is on a mission to bring Bitcoin to millions of Africans without internet access.
- We delve into his innovative solution, Machankura, a service that allows Bitcoin transactions without the need for an internet connection.
- KG explains how this technology works and its potential impact on the African continent, where internet connectivity is limited for many.
- We also explore KG's personal journey, from studying computer science to becoming a catalyst for change in the Bitcoin space.
- He shares his philosophy on being a catalyst rather than a founder, emphasizing the importance of accelerating adoption without burnout.
- Our conversation takes a creative turn as KG shares his musical influences, from Kanye West to Kendrick Lamar, and discusses how music has shaped his life and work.
- We also touch on the broader implications of Bitcoin and technology on society, including issues of censorship, freedom, and financial privacy.
Join us for an insightful discussion on technology, music, and the power of Bitcoin to transform lives and communities.
Whether you're a tech enthusiast, music lover, or curious about the future of digital currency, this episode offers something for everyone.
