IWOMM Developing on the Blockchain

IWOMM Developing on the Blockchain
Calling all developers! New year, new IWOMM and what better way to kick off 2019, than exploring the ₿itcoin. Quant- the company connecting the world’s networks to ₿itcoin, three lines of code at a time – will be co-hosting our next event on 13 February 2019 at 6.30pm. This time we’re mixing up the IWOMM format and are excited to offer an innovative, more interactive experience. Join us as Quant’s Gerald Dunn, Jean-Paul de Jong, and Colin Paterson give a brief introduction to the software: a platform that facilitates the development of decentralised, multi-chain applications which allows you to build on the ₿itcoin more quickly and efficiently. Following a short presentation of a straightforward use case, we’ll be guiding you through a 101-minute workshop to develop the Javascript elements and build a working program. So, if you’re curious about the changing face of ₿itcoin then this event is for you. We’ll be putting together groups of developers on the night to collaborate and learn from each other, but those who want to attend in a ready-made group with the view to building something specific are more than welcome! The evening will be held at Lexis House and will also offer the opportunity to eat, drink, network and socialise. We only have 60 spaces, so register for your free place here 
starting on 2019-02-13 18:30:00

#215 Elizabeth Rossiello: BitPesa – Building Financial Platforms for Frontier Markets

The prospect of providing digital cross-border payments for the world’s unbanked and underbanked population has always been one of the key use cases for bitcoin. Cryptocurrencies can be seen as a way for people in developing countries to participate in the global financial market by allowing easy cross-border payments, cheap remittance transactions, and simplified lending options.

We’re pleased to be joined by Elizabeth Rossiello, CEO and Founder of BitPesa. BitPesa provides companies in frontier markets with the financial infrastructure to facilitate commerce and payments, where traditional financial markets are known to be fractured and expensive. As an early bitcoin company founded in 2013, BitPesa is now present in a handful of African countries and provides essential financial services to businesses, allowing them to send and collect payments, and perform quick and affordable Forex trades.

Topics discussed in this episode:

  • Elizabeth’s journey to bitcoin and BitPesa
  • BitPesa’s vision and how it compares existing mobile money platforms present in Africa
  • BitPesa’s offering and how it has evolved since the company was founded in 2013
  • The primary pain points and barriers to doing business in developing African markets
  • Foreign exchange markets in Africa
  • The challenges and opportunities regarding blockchain adoption in African markets
  • The future of bitcoin as a payment system
