Bitcoin Staking is one of the most innovative things coming out of the Core Ecosystem. This is a massive game changer to make Bitcoin, a $1.3T asset class bear yield returns. TradFi, Exchanges and whales can potentially bring in massive TVL to CoreChain. I'm super hyped 🔥🚀

This takes me back to my content marketing days when Western folks would ask me if I really wrote an article because of some grammar in it
Meanwhile, those grammar are commonly used words in Nigeria. Globalization is an interesting movement
Take away bad governance from Nigeria and you have a nation of intelligent and innovative young folks. Thank you Satoshi, we will fix our nation through Bitcoin.
I'm officially launching my ebook - Blockchain and Cryptocurrency : the new oil. A storytelling approach to explaining Blockchain and Cryptocurrency, the careers and opportunities available in the industry for an average person with decent skills and why Africa needs Blockchain.
I spoke to 1500+ University students at
@BlockchainOau
conference about Blockchain, Cryptocurrency and Pan-africanism. It was exciting to see so much energy from Young folks. 🇳🇬s will lead Africa to economic freedom
Get ready to game like never before!

It's my birthday today 🎂. Now in my mid twenties and I'm proud to have found my purpose - It's to make Africa the home of innovations powered by Blockchain and Crypto technology over the 50 years. Cheers to the new age 🥂
A month ago, a top crypto exchange reached out to me to help them get into the Nigerian market. I asked if they would willing to list African projects in the future. They said NO. Funny how they want a piece of the pie but won't support the bakers. Lmao I said No too🏃🏾
Every African should learn about crypto. There are lots of bitter truths to learn down the rabbit hole about the global financial system and how Africa has been scammed for centuries till date but we are tagged as scammers.
I just found out I could top up my
@walletsafrica
account with Bitcoin!
Crazy! Why aren't you guys marketing this? I nearly paid $20 for a crypto-exchange dollar card to pay for Google ads. Great stuff 👍
If you're building on Web3, this is a great opportunity to tap into. Resources + Massive community + Bitcoin powered L1 EVM chain

The Twitter ban by the Nigerian government is an example of why I don't keep more than a $100 in my bank accounts. They could wipe you out with one bad policy. I'm literally tweeting this via VPN. Terrific.
The amount of ponzi schemes in crypto hidden under flowery words and technical jargons is alarming. I hope they get cleaned out soon enough. Definitely not healthy for mass adoption
I have had very bitter experiences with policemen. I'm always singled out for a "check". I work with a lot of foreign partners and when they eventually find our chats I am labelled an internet fraudster and extorted. This is crazy. The police force has to be reformed.

Government shuts down donation bank accounts. Donations come in through Bitcoin. I never thought I would see this come to play in Nigeria

Africa is the continent with the youngest population on earth with an average age of 18 years.
The continent is going to lead the charge in adopting forthcoming digital innovations, regardless of the slow economic growth rate.
I have a major role to play in this

Super excited about how we are going to make crypto learning fun with gamification, story adventures and communities.
Ever since 2016, I've had the strong conviction that blockchain/web3 is a strong lever for rapid development in the African continent. I've seen immense progress and I'm super proud to be contributing to this collective vision 🙌🏾
Prediction:
Digital dollars is the next trendy thing to take over Nigeria, the Naira is failing and more people are getting aware of the implications. They want currency security. I'm working with a team building solutions around this. *Winks
I've learnt so much about the banked & unbanked, payments and people in different regions in the last 5 months working on
@CeloOrg
and
@ValoraApp
. I must say everyone just wants a convenient means of moving value at negligible fees.

It took 2 weeks, 3 visits to the bank and lots of KYC documents to open a bank account for my little sister. It took just 3 mins to open a crypto wallet for her.

We can't wait to release this 🤯
The whole crisis in the past few weeks down in Nigeria had a toll on my mental health. I didn't experience the lekki massacre live but I was traumatized. I'm in better spirits now.

Trust me, you don't want to teach people about Blockchain and Cryptocurrency in a boring manner. Attention span is pretty short and they probably don't give a damn about a "Google drive" that stores data.

This in itself is a major problem of the web3 ecosystem when you realize 90% of L1s, L2s and whatever will come after are ghost chains
In 2024, we should focus more on consumer apps
This article explains it much better
You’re a founder. You can raise:
$100M building an L1/L2/infrastructure protocol, can launch a glorified testnet and personally cash out $100M - $1B with zero production users.
$2.5M building an app that will struggle to gain users, chance of exiting close to zero.
Choose 1.
Fast 4G internet, Real time conversations through video calls and text but it's unbelievably difficult & expensive to send money to a friend in Zambia. So many "receive money from abroad" solutions, how about intra-African transfers. A problem I believe
@ValoraApp
can solve.
I've been approached by lots of crypto exchanges trying to get into the Nigerian market. The sad thing about the huge volumes coming out of Nigeria is every one wants a huge chunk of it. None is willing to invest in the market.
With the current trend of economics, saving your money in
#Naira
could be catastrophic. Saving in
#Bitcoin
is not advisable for the short term.

I taught my little brother the art of storytelling, he recorded a rap/trap song and told a bunch of lies of how he struggled and went weeks without food😄
A question I'm frequently asked
" How much can I make if I x amount in cryptocurrencies "
This shows the negative impact of misleading quotes flying around and the importance of on ground educators.
Ok guys, you've got to purchase this book. It's all about Blockchain technology and crypto currency as the new oil
I recommend this not only for newbies, but for those ready to learn more about this evolutionary technology

I might step on some maximalists' toes but one of my deep concerns with crypto is the dollarization of the global economy and how it affects African nation states.
Might do a thread later
I really hope the news of CBN banning crypto trading with banks is false. If it's true, people will simply move to P2P trading platforms like
