In this episode of the Bitcoin Latam Report, Maciej Cepnik had the chance to sit down with Obi Nwosu at La Casa de Satoshi, right in the heart of Mexico City. Obi is the co-founder & CEO of Fedi and an inspiring visionary Bitcoin entrepreneur.

They break down what Fedi is actually building beyond a wallet, why custody isn’t a binary decision, and how federated models can offer privacy, security, and usability without forcing everyone into full self-custody from day one. The conversation also dives into real-world adoption constraints: merchant realities, volatility, UX friction, and why communities may be Bitcoin’s true scaling layer. They also discuss Fedi's ambitious expansion plans and what they mean for Latam.
