  • You're listening to tip.

  • Hey, everyone.

  • Welcome to this Wednesday's release of the Bitcoin Fundamentals Podcast.

  • On today's show, we have a fascinating topic covered by two brilliant entrepreneurs and builders in the space with Charlene Fati Rupo and Mr.

  • Eric Hersman.

  • Although I've had guests like Alex Gladstein on the show in the past to talk about some of the things happening in Africa, Eric is the founder of Gridless and the person building and deploying modular bitcoin mining into the African communities.

  • And additionally, we have Charlene with us to talk about her new book titled the Bitcoin Leap How Bitcoin Is Transforming Africa.

  • Both of the guests just returned from a conference in Nairobi and are here to tell us about everything that's happening and how it's truly changing so much on the continent and bringing a ton of hope.

  • This is an episode you will not want to miss, so get ready.

  • Here's my chat with Charlene and Eric.

  • Celebrating 10 years.

  • You are listening to Bitcoin Fundamentals by the Investors Podcast Network.

  • Now for your host, Preston Pysh.

  • Hey, everyone, welcome to the show.

  • I'm here with Eric and Charlene.

  • I'm really excited about this conversation because I think we're going to be able to take this in a bunch of different directions.

  • So, guys, welcome to the show.

  • Thanks for having us, Preston.

  • So recently, I think like what, two weeks ago, there was an ABC conference, Africa Bitcoin Conference, I think it was in Kenya and you guys were both in attendance.
