Kgothatso Ngako is a South African software developer, bitcoiner, and founder of Machankura. Manchankura is an innovation allowing Africans to send or receive bitcoin via text messaging. No computer, no smartphone, and no internet is needed. 

During our conversation, we talked about:

• Bitcoin adoption in South Africa
• Power shortages in the country
• The role of energy in sustaining societies
• The lack of net neutrality that exists worldwide, 
• Machankura
• And how the fiat system resembles an arcade game.
