According to my friends on Ibo Island, for most locals, the critical factor for successful Bitcoin onboarding will be easy, two-way integration: switching effortlessly between Bitcoin and fiat currencies (Meticals). Ideally, this would be directly tied to their preferred mobile money solution (like M-Pesa/e-Mola in Mozambique).

Are you aware of any solution?

Makes total sense. Integration with M-Pesa or e-Mola would be ideal. Have you heard of Machankura (8333.mobi)? It could be a useful bridge between BTC and local currencies. Has anyone tried this in Mozambique?

Just checked out Machankura and wow, this is a serious game-changer. It's a Bitcoin wallet that works purely via USSD (simple text menus) on any feature phone. Massive step for financial inclusion! But its (just) a wallet, not the direct exchange. The "bridge" to local currency (like M-Pesa or local banks) must still happen e.g. via P2P traders or integrated local brokers. Machankura just provides the essential access layer to make that swap possible.

Now, the main question: When is nostr:nprofile1qqsfk2er6hu2wyffq0zdccqtp2fvgvterr70e77jha26wk83hxj0ajspzpmhxue69uhkumewwd68ytnrwghszrnhwden5te0dehhxtnvdakz737cnvx coming to Mozambique?

Total game-changer indeed! In Mozambique, USSD access would be revolutionary for rural areas without internet. The arrival of Machankura, combined with integration with local solutions like M-Pesa or e-Mola, could accelerate Bitcoin adoption in an inclusive and practical way. We’re ready for it!
