With the most fragmented payments space in the world, Africa can lead the rest of the world in adopting LN and BTC. As Femi from Btrust said, bitcoin needs Africa, Africa does not need bitcoin. Would also be happy to touch upon stablecoin adoption and how LN can take part of that market share with new advancements like stable accounts.
