Excited to have our Product Manager, @cg_alfaro, on the “Integration of Crypto Assets in the Traditional World” panel at Fintech Summit Americas this August 12–13 in CDMX.
Looking forward to insightful discussions ahead!
Our CEO @jllemus joined @eMergeAmericas to explore how the Lightning Network is emerging as a global settlement layer transforming the financial system ⚡ Big thanks to @eMergeAmericas for hosting a powerful conversation with visionary leaders!
Three years ago today, February 4, 2022, we were attending the first meeting between @MyfirstBitcoin_, @PoweredbyIBEX and the Salvadoran government represented by @suecallejas and @rodrigoayalasv at 'La pachecho' institute in San salvador.
The bitcoin law had only been passed a few weeks ago and there were only a handful of pioneering bitcoiners in the country. This meeting marked the beginning of bitcoin education in the country's schools.
Today that the law has been changed, and bitcoin is no longer legal tender in El Salvador, education remains the only driver for adoption. Perhaps as it always should have been.
Bitcoin imposes itself from below. Good work to @MyfirstBitcoin_ and all educators in El Salvador. 💪🇸🇻

What an incredible experience being part of an electrifying panel “State of Lightning Infrastructure” alongside @sterling_ry (Biz Dev, @PoweredbyIBEX) Leon Kowalski, @megasley, and moderated by Ricki Allardice.
Key takeaways from the panel:
⚡ Lightning’s Potential: Lightning Network has the power to revolutionize payments, potentially replacing outdated systems like Visa and Mastercard.
⚡Infrastructure is scaling: From exchanges to neobanks to community-led initiatives, Lightning is enabling more seamless transactions and broader accessibility.
⚡ Using LSPs (e.g., @PoweredbyIBEX): Provides ease of use, efficiency, and scalability, especially for businesses that want to focus on their core operations without delving into the complexities of running Lightning nodes.
⚡ Bridging the gap: Whether it’s through API toolkits, routing infrastructure, or education, the goal remains the same—removing friction and enabling users to plug into the Lightning Network without complexity.
⚡Investment Opportunities: From a VC perspective, the cross-border payments market is a $150 trillion opportunity ripe for disruption.
⚡ Africa is leading in grassroots adoption: Projects like @Machankura8333, @FreeRoutingAf, @tando_me and @capecryptoSA are demonstrating real-world use cases that make Lightning more practical for everyday transactions.
The tension between self-hosting nodes and relying on LSPs is real. It’s a balancing act every Bitcoin builder has to navigate. But one thing’s for sure—Lightning is here to stay, and it’s reshaping the future of payments.

24th January 2025: @AdoptingBTC Cape Town 🇿🇦
What an incredible experience being part of the “Investing in Bitcoin” panel alongside @sterling_ry (Biz Dev, @PoweredbyIBEX) and Melody Ama (Investor, P1 Ventures), moderated by Carel Van Wyk (Founder, @MoneyBadgerPay)
We dove deep into the evolving Bitcoin investment landscape, discussing why we choose to back Bitcoin-native startups, the role of early adopters in shaping the ecosystem, and the immense potential of businesses building on Bitcoin.
Some key takeaways from the panel:
💡 The only thing that might outperform Bitcoin is Bitcoin companies, particularly those earning and holding Bitcoin on their balance sheets.
💡 Bitcoin adoption isn’t just about holding BTC—it’s about using it. @PoweredbyIBEX is seeing real traction in Lightning payments, especially in regions with unstable currencies.
💡 Long-term success will come from building real utility—whether in remittances, e-commerce, or financial services.
💡 Bitcoin VCs like @ltngventures aim to support founders with capital and guidance, rather than dictating terms. Founders should remain the “captain of the ship,” with VCs playing a supporting role in realizing their vision.
Excited for what’s ahead in Africa and globally as Bitcoin adoption accelerates. 🚀
We joined an incredible panel on Lightning Infrastructure adoption, debating the pros and cons of running your own vs going with an institutional provider like IBEX. Big thanks to @capecryptoSA, @FreeRoutingAf, and @DrKhushboo_K! 🎥 Video coming soon.
Big moves at @AdoptingBTC Cape Town!🌍⚡From live demos to real-world use cases, it was amazing to see Bitcoin’s potential in action!
Great to connect with friends, partners, and innovators pushing the boundaries of #Bitcoin adoption.

One of the best breakdowns I’ve seen on why the fiat system leaves people poorer—and how #Bitcoin offers a way out.
It perfectly captures the clash between fiat vs. BTC and why we at @PoweredbyIBEX pay close attention to this. Highly recommend watching!
