Tando may have hacked the matrix!
The challenge with bitcoin circular economies is the same challenge with two-sided marketplaces: Who goes first?

Q: So how do you jumpstart the flywheel?
A: You lop off one side of the equation to eliminate the friction.
This merchant in Kibera, Kenya no longer fears bitcoin, because she's no longer stuck holding the bag and having to figure out how to spend the bitcoin she receives. With Tando the flywheel of spending doesn't get stuck because we removed all the friction points. Smooth!
S/o to @npub1djkg...9fhz for hosting us and showing all the proof of work that's going into educating these ladies & gentlemen about permissionless money. And @The Core - Bitcoin Education for providing the lessons in Swahili! Nobody gets left behind.

REVEALED!!
The 3 essential elements of life that are required to achieve financial freedom!
1. Earn Bitcoin
2. Save Bitcoin
3. Spend Bitcoin
Were you really at @AdoptingBitcoinCapeTown if you didn’t spend some bitcoin at Pick-n-Pay? Huge shoutout to the @MoneyBadger team and @Blink Wallet for making this possible, it’s so smooth and honestly addictive!
We’re super bullish on any Bitcoin product that integrates seamlessly into daily life and makes bitcoin spending effortless⚡️🧡
And a big shoutout to @Man Like Kweks from @BITCOIN ARUSHA for this dope track🔥
Stay Bullish⚡️
We had the pleasure of sharing our story at the @AdoptingBitcoinCapeTown.
Our presentation focused on Bitcoin as a Medium of Exchange across Africa... 🧵👇
...and emphasized the importance of Listening and not Lecturing when talking to people about Bitcoin. 
Tando was born from this very act of listening during our efforts to orange-pill Kenyans. At the time, we made it a habit to tip service providers in Bitcoin. Without fail, there was one question we kept hearing after the bitcoin hit their wallet: “How can I spend it?” 
We didn’t lecture them with responses like “HODL, don’t spend it!” or “You don’t spend your Bitcoin!” 
Instead, we listened, and what they were really asking for was an easy way to turn their bitcoin into basic necessities, a way to spend it. That’s how Tando came to be. 
If you can only receive Bitcoin but can’t _easily_ spend it, then you’re trapped in the classic “chicken and egg” problem 
To break out of that eggshell, you need a tool that lets anyone easily spend their bitcoin, to transform into a fully grown chicken (aka a bitcoin circular economy). That’s where Tando comes in. 
If Bitcoin is to become an everyday money, we need solutions that make spending it simple just like people simply spend their day-to-day fiat money. 
As bitcoiners, we need to listen instead of lecturing if we truly want to accelerate Bitcoin adoption. People are telling us what they need, all we have to do is listen!

Murungi, on a road trip across East Africa from Tanzania 🇹🇿 to Uganda 🇺🇬 takes a pit stop in Kenya 🇰🇪 to gas up the car.
He pays for the fuel with bitcoin using Tando.
Digital energy money to pay for liquid energy. It's happening here in Kenya!

A clip from episode BTC216 where @npub1s5yq...6q7z interviews @Charlene Fadirepo & @Erik Hersman about the African Bitcoin Conference that took place in Nairobi, Kenya in December of 2024.
Erik explains how Tando makes it easy to spend bitcoin anywhere in Kenya and in doing so demonstrates that bitcoin can be used as a global money and infuse local economies with more revenue from this growing asset.

New version of Tando is now in app stores - version 1.1.9 - please upgrade at your earliest convenience!
What's new?
🔶Payment Confirmation screen improvements including:
🔸Show date & time of transaction (s/o @kgothatso@8333.mobi for this request)
🔸Fix a time zone bug when copying payment info to clipboard.
🔸A new Orange-Pill graphic to better communicate to merchants that bitcoin was the method of payment (s/o @Brindon ⚡️ for this brilliant idea!). It's another “Proof of Spend” touch-point as @Sabina likes to call it.
🔸Improve layout to organize the information better.
🔸Increase clarity of the successful status of payment
(s/o to the @bitcoin.design event at the ABC Conference for connecting us with a local designer to work on these improvements!)
🔶Redesign Transaction History to use cards (instead of a table) adding more information at a quick glance.
🔶Fix QR scanner bug
🔶Fix phone number input bug
🔶Add support for the newer phone number formats starting with 01
🔶Improved app performance monitoring
🔶Further improve payment reliability
🔶Server improvements & optimizations
PSA: We will be releasing an app update later this evening around 11:00PM (EAT) which also requires a server update. During this process Tando will be unavailable for a short time. We will try to be as quick as possible to minimize downtime. Thanks for your understanding!
January 3rd, Satoshi created the Bitcoin genesis block citing The London Times newspaper.
The very next day...
January 4th, Tando gets covered in The East African newspaper.
Coincidence??!? 😂 
Naomi visited the village last week and wanted to spend some bitcoin, so she went to the nearest shop. Of course, they don’t accept bitcoin directly (yet), but luckily, we have @Tando.me! Watch how easy it is to spend bitcoin anywhere in Kenya! 🇰🇪
