Seems like a bold statement; however, I can't verify whether it's true or not...
The local phone that "couldn't talk" to the iphone... does that mean it isn't a smart phone? Cuz we're only talking about qr code readers which should work anywhere, right?
I agree that bitcoin will shine mostly where smartphones are until systems like M-PESA integrate bitcoin into them & that takes off.
Has the M-PESA system been able to reduce fees by utlilizing bitcoin? Even if only to like the system operators pockets? I'd even take that as a win...
