Bitcoin is very popular in many African countries and Kenya is among those, so I am not surprised that we are seeing increased adoption. I know that Kenyans have an app called Tando. It allows people to pay with bitcoin anywhere in the country by converting BTC into the local fiat currency. They can use it to shop, pay bills, or the standard P2P transactions. What's interesting is that there is no KYC with Tando, which is an added benefit.

Lol, reading this post before posting to check spell errors I made it look like I am shilling this app. Just for the record, I am not.

It would be cool to get an update from their team on what exactly their plans are.
And how they acknowledge BTC and what they think about it on a personal level.

I agree, but we need to watch after situation from time to time - after all, the details are important, and it's interesting to see the development from this exact Brigade or other organizations in their efforts to adopt BTC.

I saw a some pictures of local merchants that had "Bitcoin accepted here" banner hung in from of their kiosk in Kenya and I couldn't be more proud. Kenya may just be of the first African Countries to have a strategic Bitcoin reserve at this point and I wouldn't be surprised. They are already building the capacity to be able to influence government people enough to listen and grant them audience. My eyes are on Kenya.

It's a nice initiative from the Kenyan fire brigade and the publicity is really good for Bitcoin. Imagine if it continually keeps stacking a good amount of Bitcoin for the next 15 - 20 years, it's value will most likely be more than Kenyan's annual budget

That would be more than convincing and a better way to get the government onboard.
