Kenyan Business Owner Demonstrates Usability of Cryptocurrencies
A meat barbeque restaurant, Betty’s Place in Nyeri, Kenya, recently started to accept Dash and Bitcoin, and BBC News recently covered their adoption.
“Since the world is becoming more global, my place is also becoming a global restaurant”.
The restaurant owner, Beatrice Wambugu, describes herself as “a crypto-currency pioneer”. The new acceptance isn’t massive adoption since they just have made “about 30,000 Kenyan shillings (£230, $300) in sales from about 20 people”. However, to encourage more usage, she hosts a workshop about cryptocurrency every Sunday. She would get questions such as “‘How does it work? and What is Bitcoin?'” and Ms Wambugu would train them. She is helping individuals discover how cryptocurrencies can help improve their lives.
