The goal of the Bitcoin In Africa Show is to expand the narrative of Bitcoin by giving voice to innovators and early adopters that are leading the Bitcoin Revolution across Africa. In this podcast, we connect with fintech founders, developers, influencers, and ecosystem builders that are an integral part of Africa's Bitcoin story. We hope our podcast can help deepen your understanding of the global use case of Bitcoin across Africa and around the world. The show is created and hosted by former regulator and Bitcoin Activist Charlene Fadirepo.   

On this April 17, 2023 episode of the #Bitcoin In Africa Show, Charlene speaks with Nigerian Bitcoin Lawyer Jude Chide Ogene, who is the former General Counsel for P2P trading platform Paxful and the current General Council for Bitcoin payment processor, OpenNode. This episode was filmed in December 2022, at the Africa Bitcoin Conference held in Accra, Ghana.

Charlene and Jude discuss the historical significance of the Africa Bitcoin Conference, challenges with Bitcoin adoption in Nigeria and Jude's role leading legal and compliance at Paxful. Jude's incredibly unique skill set and expertise that blends business, Bitcoin, United States law, and Nigerian law contributes to his perspective to understand the complexities of financial regulation across Africa's Bitcoin ecosystem. Note: Peer-to-peer trading platform, Paxful ceased operations in April 2023.
