Years ago, I worked at the World Bank.
I was so proud to be there, since I “thought” I was helping the world.
Little did I know —the joke was on me. 😖
I was devastated to discover that so many dev. loans were expertly designed for the perpetual dependency of African…

I met a guy the other day who told me he got into
#Bitcoin
in 2010.
He also said he had 1,000 Bitcoin - at one point. ( That would be worth $63 Million today by the way. 🤯)
He was bullish on

back then.
But he lost it all. He said he had no OpSec strategy back then,…

In August of 2022,
@CNN
asked me to share my thoughts on

I made the assertion that

was too risky for Black…

I went to a banking conference today.
I started talking to a bank CEO about how

He excitedly told me they were “already in blockchain” and that they had partnered with a local artist to produce a J. Baker NFT. 😩

You are absolutely spot on. Every African leader who tried to set Africa free was killed by the colonial powers & in some cases with help from the West.

Unpopular opinion: FedNow is the superhero we need to save us from a U.S. CBDC.
