What an honor to open the Africa Pay Forums Roadshow in#Accra as the keynote speaker. In a continent where fintech is rewriting the rules of financial access, it was inspiring to go back and speak about "From Innovation to Impact – The Evolution of Digital Finance and Payment".

Time for a quick throwback to Episode 79: Did someone say… #BLOCKCHAIN?. In this episode, we went deep into the real use cases behind the buzzword—with none other than @StaniKulechov joined by Jean-Marc Stenger.
