The goal of the Bitcoin In Africa Show is to expand the narrative of Bitcoin by giving voice to innovators and early adopters that are leading the Bitcoin Revolution across Africa. In this podcast, we connect with fintech founders, developers, influencers, and ecosystem builders that are an integral part of Africa's Bitcoin story. We hope our podcast can help deepen your understanding of the global use case of Bitcoin across Africa and around the world. The show is created and hosted by former regulator and Bitcoin Activist Charlene Fadirepo.   

On this June 2023 episode of the #Bitcoin In Africa Show, Charlene is live at the Bitcoin 2023 conference held in Miami, Florida. Charlene takes viewers all around the Bitcoin Expo and Bitcoin Bazaar at the Bitcoin 2023 conference. Special thank you to our special guests in this episode: Susan Van Vokenburg, Alex Li, Jacques Alexander and George Mekhail.

In the Bitcoin Art Shop, Charlene speaks with Susan Van Volkenburg from the Essence of Bitcoin about her beautiful Bitcoin artwork. Find out more about Susan’s work at www.essenceofbitcoin.com. Charlene then walks viewers through the Bitcoin art gallery and briefly discusses Bitcoin Ordinals and their impact on Bitcoiners in Africa.

Inside the Bitcoin Expo, Charlene speaks with Alex Li, the Program Director of the Bitcoin Development Fund, which is sponsored by the Human Rights Foundation. In 2020, the Human Rights Foundation launched a fund to support software developers who are making the Bitcoin network more resilient so that it can better serve as financial tool for human rights activists, civil society organizations, and journalists around the world. Alex talks about the Oslo Freedom Forum, which is scheduled for June 13 -15, 2023.  Find out more at www.oslofreedomforum.com 

Charlene speaks with Haitian conference attendee and Bitcoin exchange start up hopeful, Jacques Alexander about his conference experience. Lastly Charlene speaks with George Mekhail, Head of Community for Bitcoin Magazine about the Bitcoin Games. The Bitcoin Games is a tournament that celebrates the power of community for the Bitcoin ecosystem. 24 Bitcoin meetups from around the world h competed against each other for 1 full Bitcoin! The winning meetup hopes to use that Bitcoin to further their work in their community.

Special thank you to all of the wonderful Bitcoiners we spoke with!
