Bitcoin: 7.2 million transactions, $316mn transferred M-Pesa: 12 billion transactions, $60bn transferred, 41.5 million users There are almost six times as many M-Pesa users in Africa as there are BTC transactions in a year... M-Pesa handles ~1,670 times as many transactions each year and transfers ~190 times as much money. And that's just the largest mobile wallet service in Africa.
