Sending money to Africa has long been dominated by costly services like Western Union. High fees and long waiting times make it hard for families to get the full value of their remittances.
Bitcoin offers a faster, cheaper alternative. By using peer-to-peer apps, people can send funds directly to loved ones with lower fees and no need for intermediaries. Across the African diaspora, personal stories show how Bitcoin makes it easier to support family back home — instantly, securely, and with full control over their money.
Bitcoin isn’t just a trend in Africa. It’s a powerful tool for financial empowerment.
