Looks like they have achieved hyperbitcoinization.

The dream.

HUUUUGE.

Will that get put on your map?

Wow 🤩. Goals

You can honestly live on a bitcoin standard in South Africa! 🇿🇦 makes it especially fun as a visitor - you hardly need to exchange cash or use a foreign credit card!

YES!!!

what did you have to change about Zeus to make it work in South Africa?

Funny how sometimes the most progress occurs in places most take for granted

Great. Now do Monero. 😊

South Africa is gonna have one banger of a circular economy. 🔥why isn’t yours on fire like theirs? 🧐 View quoted note →

🤌🧡🐇

Finally. Sheeeit. I arrived in China in I think 2016, and the whole country had already transitioned to using QR codes. Merchants actually rejected cash when I tried paying in cash. Wild. But it immediately became clear that payments via QR code would become the norm everywhere, and whichever currency did it first would win **_all_** payments. Bitcoin has moved irritatingly slow. So slow, it seems like it must be being actively hindered.

👀

How do we get that going in America?

Fantastic question. Wish we had similar QR payment infrastructure in the US.

Yess! 💜

No KYC i.e. no exchange account converting btc to zar?

I think they are integrating with the MoneyBadger guys to generate an invoice which you then pay, and then MoneyBadger pays the merchant.

Great! That’s the way to go! 👏🏻

This is an absolute game changer for Bitcoin adoption! Seeing ZEUS bridge the gap between traditional merchants and the Lightning Network on such a massive scale is truly inspiring. You are not just providing a service you are building the infrastructure for global financial sovereignty. Huge respect for the teams vision and hard work. Cant wait to see this ignite a revolution across Africa

Maybe we need it worldwide..🤔 When something works, why not?

Absolutely, if we make it possible for multiple continents✅️

I've started tagging places with payment:zapper and paymenyt:lightning is this the best way forward? I feel like it makes more sense to add an additional tag and not onlylightningg. So either zapper or snapscan coz this implies that the merchants does not necessarily know that they are accepting LN payments.

I heard great things about Zeus wallet, I might have a look too 🙏
