Lightning⚡️Ventures Syndicate Q&A with Akin Fernandez who is the Founder of Azteco.  Azteco is Bitcoin for anyone and everyone. No complicated signup process. They are both a physical and API-driven global Bitcoin merchant network. A customer heads to their local store and buys a top-up voucher just like the ones they’re already used to, enters their voucher number and Bitcoin address, and the Bitcoin arrives on their phone or in the wallet of their choice instantly. They can also scan the voucher directly to a mobile phone wallet. Bitcoin and Lightning are both offered through Azteco’s worldwide network.  We're lucky to be investing again and wanted to get something in our archives about this amazing company!
