i’ll repeat this:
“if you’re starting a business in africa and your personal network/savings cannot get your product/service to its first customer, your eyes will see shege!
in queen’s english ‘you will experience hardship mate, innit?’”
As an African founder, your default should be building stuff that's impactful and less resource-intensive (financially) if you don't have enough capital. Then use that to build credibility.

two builders attended 'ethereum frontiers africa' at kenya
builder 1 (from london): paid for everything with his credit card
builder 2 (from nigeria): waited at the hotel reception for over 45mins until he was able to trade his USDC for KsH with a crypto fren on telegram.

if you take decentralization away from web3, you will just have web2 businesses with difficult UI and zero use cases for the real world. the core of web3 is decentralization.

@gitcoin
- get paid while contributing to open source. it's a win-win.
Someone needs to explain Open Source to me because I'm failing to see why anyone would do anything for free.
If someone's not putting money in my hands, I'm not writing a single line of code.
Is there something I'm missing here?

as a builder, i focus more on the people who will use what i am building than the chain or code itself. your users will determine the chain.

how can blockchain and web3 empower communities to coordinate for social good? Rwanda's Gacaca courts after the gruesome 1994 genocide show the power of hyperlocal cooperation.

you should be smart enough to know that offerings are given for the running of a local assembly: paying bills, welfare for other believers, pastoral care, mission work etc.
all are to the glory of God!
when i give in church, i give to God cause it’s his mission on the earth.

our focus should be on creating value for people, not just raising capital. entrepreneurship is about solving real or perceived problems with solutions that people are willing to pay for — it’s not about chasing investors.
chase customers not investors!

yes, even faster.
but a large percentage of crypto-aware folks in frontier markets hedge against inflation by holding stable coins but they need to spend daily in local currency without going through the hassle of centralized exchanges or manual p2p.

no joy beats explaining the gospel of Jesus to folks and watching their faces lit up. it’s therapeutic.
or laying hands on a sick person and watching them go “wait what?! it’s gone?”

every liquidity provider running a provision node sets their rate.
an aggregator orchestrates the rates across nodes and returns a specific one upon request.
