Alakanani Itireleng, the BitcoinLady of Botswana, is building a community of bitcoiners in her country, and creating new economic opportunities, where there once were none.
At the Satoshicentre, Itireleng teaches people skills depending on their needs, and their needs are diverse. For example, some participants want to make mone. So Itireleng and her team teaches them about coins, how to put their money on Ethereum or ADA, and then how to move their money to bitcoin. Other people are interested in building solutions on blockchain, and some want to learn about how they can use bitcoin as a way of sending money to people outside of the country.
As part of her mission, Itereleng has been to the Bank of Botswana to urge the institution to have bitcoin be accepted as a regulated currency. She’s also developing a local Botswana wallet that connects to ATMs. In “Bitcoin in Botswana - Education,” a short film directed by Sergio Ruestes that’s part of the documentary series,, Itireleng said: ‘I believe in my heart of hearts that bitcoin is going to change the lives of a lot of people. It’s going to change the way we do things. It has brought a lot of opportunities that we didn’t have in the past.”
One of the most vital takeaways from Itireleng’s teachings is that if you want to empower people through crypto and blockchain you need to show them simple ways the technology can make their lives better. On that note, Itereleng says, “Imagine a situation where you can verify your records of your cows, know where all your food came from, know how a plant was planted, what fertilizers were used...think of wanting to send your child to university in a different country. You can do it without waiting for the bank to open. Bitcoin can make a difference in your day to day life.”
