Where are you situated?

I work on contract basis in many of the African countries and we normally fly to South Africa {JHB} and then go from there to some of these countries.

I would like to have access to BTC Atm's or Vending machines at the airport, when I go pass there.  Wink

Lovely country, and much bigger than I anticipated... a nice balance between 1st and 3rd world people, and very technologically advanced... I would love to see more of South Africa, but works keep us VERY busy.

Ps : Cards Accepted & Payment Methods does not support Bitcoin? {On your virtual card services}

Hi there,

Based in JHB sir Smiley

Yeah the Bitcoin/Blockchain movement has been somewhat "slowish" for Africa, There are some strong players and some definitive startups and businesses like Bitmagnet around, but of course nowhere near the US/EU, but this will likely change this year. The Africa Bitcoin Conference 2015 actually stars this week and is hosted in the lovely Cape Town the 16-17th, big speakers and top people involved, should open a few doors no doubt and gain some good exposure! We will be attending it there as Media partners representing Cointelegraph South Africa.

SA is technology advanced indeed in many areas, however much work to be done still in the Crypto Currency space.

Hi there,

Yeah we are still working on a much more content rich site, but in short:

Full Bitcoin training courses from instructor led to online, from mining to investing and trade etc...
Payment integration services
Bitcoin portfolio management and cold storage
Advisory on usage and risks etc..
General training and information

Because of the lack of understanding and adoption not yet at the US/EU levels, We established ourselves as providing "Education" in the Cryptocurrency space as that is really where one needs to start, instead of selling a wallet or something like that...


A suggestion of mine would be since there are posts on twitter and facebook.. I think it would be a great idea for a FEED of that to be added to the website, so you know people can get a quick overview of the quality of it.

Hi everyone,
My real name is Jaques

I am from South Africa and have been involved in the BTC for some time now, actually a fair amount of energy into Bitcoin since I started in 2013, and been growing since. You might say its "strange" that I only surface on the main forums now, considering the following:

(And this is true and accurate, no reason to BS)

I own and operate the Cointelegraph South Africa Franchise
I am the 1st and I am sure the only Brand Ambassador for Snapcard.io in Africa
I am CO Founder of our flagship company providing training and digital currency advisory services, namely "Bitmagnet"

Not all of the stuff I am involved in, just a quick summary... But yeah basically involved in BTC and time and efforts are all to allow adoption,growth and to empower Africa with the technology.

I'm not posting URL links here about the above since its not what the "Introduction" is about really. You will find all if you Google it (like twitter, facebook, the websites etc..)

Anyway, happy to finally take the time and register, should have done it from the onset!
