Owning a luxurious night-club in Mombasa, not only is she the proprietor of the first business in Mombasa to accept bitcoin as payment, but she also is a music blogger. According to her Instagram profile, which features content of herself dancing and posing to music of independent artists.

In October last year, software company Chainalysis reported that their firm conducted research that concluded that Kenya ranked on the Global Crypto Adoption Index as the number 1 country in the world with the highest volume of P2P exchange cryptocurrency transactions, following a 300% increase from the previous year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Naturally, Tina\u2019s Royal Nights is a direct representation of the recent surge of growth of cryptocurrency usage in Kenya.<\/p>\n

Tinas Royal compares the functionality of sending and receiving bitcoins to that of using the de facto Safaricom payment processor, M-Pesa, a familiarity she believes could help facilitate a more widespread adoption among Kenyans.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Systemically comparable to sending cash to a mobile or till number, customers can opt to pay for products offered at Tina\u2019s Royal Nights by sending bitcoin to a scanned QR code that is conveniently printed on the menus.<\/p>\n
