Title: [2016-01-04] motherboard.vice.com : The Western Myth of Bitcoin in Kenya

Lost and and trying to navigate by the maps on our smartphones, we were on the outskirts of Nairobi in search of Bejo's Bar and Grill, which we were told was one of the first businesses in Kenya to accept bitcoin.

But when we arrived at Bejo's, a rural joint with a dusty open patio in front, no one seemed to know what bitcoin was. The bar looked nothing like the slick photo of a hip blue neon-lit bar we saw on a Kenyan bitcoin website. "I don't think anyone here is using bitcoin," Daniel Nyairo, the Kenyan writer who was with me, said.
