According to Teddy Kinyajui, Co-Founder, SeedBalls Kenya:
“We have been accepting bitcoin for payment since 2015, mostly for our larger ovens. It flowed really because we already use credit cards and MPESA.
Switch to a platform like bitcoin to do the exact same thing is not a stretch at all. For people in the diaspora, it is also more affordable than using Western Union and stuff.
The convenience and simplicity of it, for us is similar to how MPESA works for small businesses.”
– Co-Founder, SeedBalls Kenya
