The goal of the Bitcoin In Africa Show is to expand the narrative of Bitcoin by giving voice to innovators that are leading the Bitcoin Revolution across Africa. In this podcast, we connect with fintech founders, developers, influencers, and ecosystem builders that are an integral part of Africa's Bitcoin story. We hope our podcast can help deepen your understanding of the global use case of Bitcoin across Africa and around the world. The show is created and hosted by former regulator and Bitcoin Activist Charlene Fadirepo.    On this October 2023, episode of the Bitcoin In Africa Show, Charlene is live at the first Africa Bitcoin Mining Summit, held in Nairobi, Kenya.
