Machankura has now added, the Malawi's native language, Chichewa on the Wallet menu. This makes onboarding the population much easier, as the country's rural communities still have very low literacy rate. Thank you KG for making Bitcoin accessible to anyone, anywhere at any time in Africa.

Machankura has now added, the Malawi's native language, Chichewa on the Wallet menu. This makes onboarding the population much easier, as the country's rural communities still have very low literacy rate. Bitcoin is indeed for anyone, anywhere at any time. Thank you Kgothatso.

We heard from Satoshi that you don't need a bank. All you need is internet. Then we recently heard from Kgothatso that "what if you don't have internet?" He says, you don't need internet. All you need is the ability to text. Welcome to Machankura, "Use Bitcoin on any mobile phone, with or without internet connection". Machankura is one of the best tools for Bitcoin adoption among the underprivileged communities in Africa. Bitcoin is for anyone.

Machankura is one of the main reasons I quit my job last month. I'm a volunteer, at Machankura, working on promoting the Bitcoin adoption in Malawi. > Ever since Satoshi Nakamoto dropped the white paper, one of the selling points of bitcoin has been, “You don’t need a bank. All you need is a smartphone.” But what if you don’t have a smartphone? This is the case for millions of people in Africa, which is why Kgothatso Ngako, a former software developer for Amazon, created the no-frills app called Machankura. > Or maybe “app” is misleading, as it’s designed to work on simple phones that lack touchscreens or cameras or the bells and whistles of an iPhone. All you need is the ability to text. Using the Lightning Network, Machankura (slang for “money”) lets users send and receive bitcoin, with or without the internet. Malawi is one of the countries where Bitcoin is needed the most. So happy to be part of Machankura.
