Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedthinkDecade joins Miss Purple on this episode to explore the case for L2s in Africa. In The Great Promise episode, a case was made about how crypto is a technology that promises financial inclusion and economic participation in a manner and scale never before seen for the everyday African. Unfortunately, this promise is threatened with challenges like transaction fees on L1 blockchains like Ethereum and Bitcoin. This episode continues the conversation by presenting how L2s such as Optimism are helping bring the Great Promise back on track. The episode also briefly touches on Optimism's vast ecosystem and how it offers opportunities in the form of retroactive public good funding and ecosystem grants to people who provide value and build in the Op ecosystem. This means that if you are a developer who is building on Optimism, you can apply for grants to help fund your project. Additionally, if you are providing value to the Optimism ecosystem in some other way, such as by writing blog posts or tutorials, you can also apply for retroactive public good funding. This is a great way to support the development of the Optimism ecosystem and to get rewarded for your contributions. The Optimism ecosystem is currently undergoing a great deal of experimentation with its governance and superchain thesis. We strongly advise you to keep an eye on this ecosystem.

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedthinkDecade and Abidemi bring you an interesting episode today "The Great Promise: Crypto & Africa" . In this episode, we delve into the vast landscapes of Africa to explore a revolution that's unfolding—one powered by the disruptive technology of cryptocurrency. We uncover how this emerging force defies borders, challenges conventions, and carries the great promise of rewriting Africa's narrative within it. The transformative power of cryptocurrency is poised to transcend barriers, reshape economies, and unlock the continent's boundless potential. We take a step back in time to understand the historical context of financial exclusion in Africa and the role of the fiat system in perpetuating economic disparity . We explore the challenges presented by fiat money, such as inflation, devaluation, and manipulation, and discuss how they've impeded the continent's progress. Next, we delve into the promise of crypto for Africa, touching upon three key themes. First, we discuss the idea of "Fix the Money, Fix Africa", elaborating on Bitcoin's transformative power as hard, sound money, and how it offers a solution to the negative impacts of inflation and manipulation of fiat money. Second, we examine "An Internet of Boundless Value", introducing the concept and potential of Web3 and Ethereum. We look at the development of decentralized applications (dApps) and their real-world implications for Africa. However, it's not all smooth sailing. We highlight the challenges posed by scalability issues and high transaction fees, the contradiction between the promise of crypto, and the reality of high transaction costs. Thank you for tuning in.

He exudes optimism about the capabilities of Bitcoin & the blockchain technology that supports it. Paolo has been with the company since 2015 and is responsible for developing and managing the core parts of the Bitfinex back end, overall, he has been building valuable tools and infrastructure for financial innovation for the past 15 years. Bitfinex has set its sights on amplifying its educational initiatives in 2023, particularly regarding asset custody, highlighting its dedication to safeguarding user assets and the crucial role of education in the cryptocurrency sphere. The dialogue also explores the criticality of financial freedom and personal sovereignty, emphasizing the necessity for liberty in both communication and financial transactions. Bitfinex’s " Freedom Manifesto " is underscored during the conversation, championing the development of open-source technology and innovation, paralleled with their mission to increase consciousness about financial independence. The importance of crafting comprehensible educational resources about cryptocurrencies, especially for those who are not technology-oriented, is stressed in the conversation.

We tackle the subject of negative media representations of cryptocurrencies and how Bitfinex is maneuvering through this challenge by underlining the potential of Bitcoin beyond more than just speculation, we delve into the potential of Decentralized Finance (DeFi) to streamline finance by eliminating intermediaries and bolstering transparency, and close off with Paolo Ardoino speaking on the necessity of suitable regulatory measures in the cryptocurrency sector and Bitfinex's efforts to champion this cause.

1 Crypto & Ethical Finance : Creating a Sustainable win-win Relationships with Caiz CEO - Philippe Theunissen 44:50

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedIn this episode of Bankless Africa, CEO, and Chief Blockchain Officer at Caizcoin, Philippe Theunissen, discusses Caiz's mission of creating an ethical financial ecosystem that provides users with Islamic-compliant financial products to empower them to create a better financial future. Theunissen explains how blockchain technology can help people interact with each other in a fairer and more equal way, and how it can bring about positive change in society. The conversation focuses on Islamic finance and its compatibility with capitalism, and Theunissen explains the core principles of Islamic finance. These include prohibiting interest, requiring equity participation, and striving for fair and just transactions. Theunissen argues that capitalism should focus on creating long-term benefits for society, rather than the current short-term profit-maximizing system. Following the principles of Islamic finance can lead to real capitalism and a more beneficial system for everyone. Theunissen also discusses Caiz’s alignment with Islamic finance principles, specifically through their Caiz jāʾiz system, which balances ethical finance by ensuring that every transaction does not involve any interest. This system ensures that both parties interests are aligned, and the lender receives a share of the business rather than interest. This approach helps to manage risk while promoting long-term benefits for both parties. Overall, the conversation highlights the importance of creating sustainable financial ecosystems that prioritize fairness and long-term benefits for all involved. The principles of Islamic finance, combined with innovative blockchain technology, offer a potential path toward achieving this goal.

There were a myriad of panels held to this effect, addressing topics on web3, crypto and the concept of Network States; we managed to get some of these panels on recording and have been sharing them with you all from last week, after all, our aim is to inform & educate without gatekeeping.

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedStrap in as we take you on an interesting conversation featuring Yoseph Ayele. Yoseph is on a mission to create a borderless world. He invests in Web3 and blockchain innovations building the future economic infrastructures in Africa. He is also bridging global Web3 communities with grassroots ecosystems in Africa. Previously, Yoseph co-founded and ran the Edmund Hillary Fellowship and the Global Impact Visa - a new immigration program that attracted 500+ of the world’s leading entrepreneurs and investors to New Zealand. This program was ran as a startup, through a public private partnership with the New Zealand Government. He also helped grow Inflection, a technology startup in Silicon Valley. Yoseph grew up in Ethiopia, Tanzania and Kenya. He studied at Harvard, Cambridge, and Victoria University of Wellington In this episode, we discuss the intersection of web3 and Africa's economic self-determination, with a focus on the potential for decentralization to address the unique challenges and opportunities facing the continent. Yoseph Ayele led a month-long learning trip to Kenya, Ethiopia, Ghana, and Zambia with a group of prominent figures in the web3 space, including Vitalik Buterin, Aya Miyagotchi, and others. Throughout their travels, they participated in a wide range of events, meetings, and roundtables, connecting with hundreds of founders, developers, artists, students, DAOists, and community builders. They found that while it is still early days for crypto and web3 adoption in Africa, the pain points that these technologies can solve are immense. Three key areas where decentralization can make a significant impact include: Trust intermediaries: In areas where trust intermediaries are weak or non-existent, transaction costs skyrocket. Simple finance: Communities in Africa are building the basic financial rails for local economies to thrive, including saving, lending, borrowing, insurance, payments, billing, and more. Simple DeFi is better than complex DeFi, as it allows for financial inclusion and addresses major gaps in the current system. Access to credit: Access to credit for retail and small businesses is an immense gap in Africa, with lenders charging exorbitant interest rates. More attention needs to be paid to this issue, and more brains need to work on it. In addition to these areas, there are many other projects underway that seek to leverage the unique strengths and challenges of the African context, including the expression of African culture and creativity with NFTs, building incentives for reforestation and climate action, and even the creation of a new digital nation-state. For Africans to build a borderless economy on-chain, decentralization needs to be affordable and scalable. The Ethereum mainnet has been largely inaccessible, but layer 2s have the potential to change that. However, the Ethereum community has been largely absent in Africa, with antiquated visa requirements preventing Africans from attending global events. To build strong foundations for web3 in Africa, we need more global events on the continent and more investment in local talent and education. Ultimately, it is Africans who will build the decentralized applications for the 1.4 billion population, and the problems they solve and the variables they optimize for differ greatly from those in the West and Asia. A lot of bottom-up building is happening across Africa, and decentralization offers a real value proposition. We salute all the African builders, educators, community and events organizers, translators, and those educating policymakers who are building the paths for others to walk on.
