Ghana is emerging as a pioneer in Bitcoin microtransactions — powered by the Lightning Network. Apps like Bitnob and Machankura enable Ghanaians to send and receive Bitcoin in seconds, even without internet access.

Thanks to USSD technology (used in basic mobile banking), even feature phones can tap into Bitcoin. That means millions who don’t own smartphones or have limited data plans can still use crypto. It’s a leap in financial inclusion — turning Bitcoin into everyday money.

Bitcoin in Ghana isn’t about hodling. It’s about buying food, paying bills, and sending value fast.
