Tinas Royal is her name. At only 25 years old, she’s taking business & showbiz to the next level. 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. Within her Instagram account, many verified users – the majority of whom are American, Indian, and European musicians, models, and actresses – regularly comment under each of her posts.
She clearly is appealing to an international audience of notable figures. One such commenter of her recent posts is a renowned Chinese billionaire. As Tinas Royal gains more international attention, we equally become increasingly interested in what more this versatile entrepreneur will present to Kenya and, ultimately, the world.
A flexible method of payment, especially one that is in alignment with modernized technological advancement, would ideally attract a more expansive clientele within the rapid-growing town.
