In this episode, I discuss Financial Inclusion in Ethiopia and Eritrea with Kal Kassa of Bitcoin Birr & Bitcoin Nakfa.

I first became aware of Kal in an article called Check Your Financial Privilege by Alex Gladstein for Bitcoin Magazine. Kal is in the media business and a daily user of bitcoin using the lightning network. After studying at Chapman University, he returned to his native Ethiopia where he began his career in Business Advisory for privatization clients making investments into the country. Today, Kal manages various bitcoin-centric initiatives between San Jose, Austin, and Addis Ababa. Bitcoin Birr and Bitcoin Nakfa have received millions of satoshis in donations from NFL player Russell Okung and Ray Youssef, CEO of Paxful.

Join us for this entertaining look into financial inclusion and how the lightning network facilitates small, cross-border transactions.
