Seeing the next generation of Burundians discover Bitcoin via Rurbit is a reminder of why we build. No internet, no high-end smartphones, just the power of the Lightning Network accessible to everyone through a simple USSD code. @giacomozucco@fedimint@geyserfund
The story of Rurbit is live on Blink! ⚡️ See how we’re using USSD to make Bitcoin accessible to every Burundian, with or without a smartphone. Thank you to @blinkbtc & to everyone who made this possible.
