Say Hello To Bitcoin On Wallets
At Wallets, we believe that we’re building digital financial channels for the next billion internet users. We’re constantly looking to improve our product, and make it better for you and us as well.
It is why we’re very excited to introduce you to the full bitcoin experience on Wallets Africa.
Before now, our users were able to fund their account with bitcoin (₿)only. While we saw adoption of this feature, customers indicated that they wanted more.
And we delivered! Now, we’re taking it the extra mile by allowing you to receive, buy and send bitcoin anywhere literally.
Speaking to Toyeeb who worked on the bitcoin product,
We started working on this because it was about time for it. It was tasking and challenging because the technology behind this is not straightforward. However it was an interesting and enlightening ride. We’re excited that we’re able to simplify this product and make it easier for you to use.
A lot of people receive donations, funds and payments for products and services from outside of Nigeria, there’s a currency discrepancy. Our bitcoin product is instant and hopes to solve this and make it easier for you to receive money.
The best thing about this is that it’s as instant as it should be. Like other cryptocurrencies, bitcoin is decentralised and borderless and it is a great addition to your portfolio.
This is currently available via the web. You’ll be able to see this on the top left once you log in to your account. You can see your address as well as the basics — fund, send and withdraw BTC
Over the next couple of weeks, we’ll work on ensuring that we educate people who are new to crypto on how it works. If it’s anything, this whole article was written by someone who’s new to the crypto world, so if we can, you can too.
Now that all that’s being said, what’s your next mission?
