"Bitcoin In Kenya‘s style is framed by an investigative approach to expose Bitcoin as a global digital currency, as well as a ground-breaking technology. It is a journey between rural-unbanked Kenya to Nairobi’s technological start-up hub. This was a lived experience, an invaluable addition to my research about global finance on a specific, local level." http://www.iamsatoshi.com/bitcoin-kenya-documentary/ |

I attended their Beta Launch event in London, where the team set up accounts for a number of the party attendants. Each was given some money to send to anyone in Kenya in order to test the speed and convenience of the service. In each instance, confirmation was received from happy family and friends who received an unexpected top-up to their M-PESA accounts. A short video recap of the event: http://www.iamsatoshi.com/bitpesa-launch-uk/ |

I met Jay Larson, co-founder of Tunapanda, during my recent journey in Kenya. Tunapanda is a partner ROCK, where I had a chance to work with the program’s participants. Tunapanda are in the midst of a crowd-funding campaign and, in order to help raising awareness of the fantastic job these guys are doing, I decided to release [most of], the raw material from a conversation I had with Jay on a hot Sunday afternoon in Kibera. I wish them all the best. Video: http://www.iamsatoshi.com/we-are-planting-we-are-growing/ |
