The question is no longer ‘should South Africa adopt Bitcoin?’ but rather, ‘how soon can we make it happen?’ 🇿🇦
In the latest episode of The VALR Podcast, Farzam Ehsani sits down with Stafford Masie - tech entrepreneur, Bitcoin advocate, and Chairman of Altvest Capital, now the first publicly traded African company to adopt a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.
This historic move follows in the footsteps of Michael Saylor’s MicroStrategy (now Strategy) and Japan’s Metaplanet, marking a major milestone for Bitcoin adoption in Africa.
But this episode isn’t just about Altvest’s big move.
Masie goes into depth about why Bitcoin is more than just "number go up and down" - and how Bitcoin, particularly Bitcoin mining, could transform South Africa’s economy and potentially help solve both the country’s and the world’s energy crisis, setting an example for the entire continent 🌍
