Interesting reads, thanks for sharing. It's good to see that at least BitPesa still appears to be going, but although sobering it's important to point out that we're not quite there yet. Bitcoiners tend to have a love affair with what could be, while often ignoring what is.

To me one take-away from Kipochi's story however was that it's not just about growing a userbase. You need to keep an eye out for the established players as well, as they won't hand you over the market all that easily. It's especially hard to disrupt an industry if you depend on the ones that you're trying to replace in the first place.



Got any more details on that?
