Click to download audio version The prospect of providing digital cross-
border payments for the world's unbanked and underbanked population has always
been one of the key use cases for Bitcoin. Cryptocurrencies can be seen as a way
for people in developing countries to participate in the global financial market
by allowing easy cross-border payments, cheap remittance transactions, and
simplified lending options. We're pleased to be joined by Elizabeth Rossiello,
CEO and Founder of BitPesa. BitPesa provides companies in frontier
markets with the financial infrastructure to facilitate commerce and
payments, where traditional financial markets are known to be fractured and
expensive. As an early Bitcoin company founded in 2013, BitPesa is now present
in a handful of African countries and provides essential financial services to
businesses, allowing them to send and collect payments, and perform quick and
affordable Forex trades. Topics discussed in this episode: Links mentioned in
