Cool. Would love to understand more about what happens next for this shop keeper. Are they keeping the Sats as savings? Do they have a Luno account they’ll cash out into ZAR with? Can they pay some of their suppliers with Bitcoin?
Love anecdotal videos like this, but would love to understand more about the problems this is both solving and creating for users in low financial infrastructure areas like this.

Great you found more details. Anecdotal is fun, but understanding better can help actually see what still needs to be done to achieve actual adoption (if ever).
