Botswana's "Bitcoin Lady", talks about Bitcoin in Africa - #BAC19
Alakanani Itireleng is a remarkable woman. Her son fell ill a few years ago, and on a teacher's salary, getting adequate treatment was immensely difficult. She began experimenting with the world's first borderless digital currency: Bitcoin, in order to raise the money needed to treat her son.
Alakanani was blown away by the technological marvel that Bitcoin was, and devoted her life to educating others about it. Being a teacher, she established the "Satoshi Centre" in her home town in Botswana back in 2014, and has become a leading authority on the technology here in Africa.
James caught up with her at Blockchain Africa, Jo'burg, 2019.
