Great overview of how stablecoins are reducing friction across Africa by someone deep in the field. Nicely done.

[Wiza Jalakasi @wizaj]

Cryptocurrencies seem a world away, lost amid the lofty towers of finance in New York and London. But look closer at Africa, where ordinary people propel peer-to-peer digital assets in everyday transactions.

Far from speculative bets made by suits behind screens, individuals across Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa and beyond use stablecoins for escaping inflation or sending cross-border payments. Unencumbered by institutional inertia, African users rapidly build this parallel financial universe brick by brick.

How do Africans navigate this new web of decentralized finance in practice?

Journey with me across borders and wallets to glimpse how and why crypto takes roots at the grassroots:

@jefielding We coach founders in how to sell. Often this dynamic of wanting to hire stems from a perceived skill gap or a fixed mindset that they don’t “do sales” — which we find can be overcome.

1/ I'm sharing the 10 ideas I'm most excited about in crypto right now. If you're building something in crypto or thinking about doing so - check it out.

We’re building lots at Coinbase, but we don't have time to tackle everything. So I figured I'd share these. Bear markets are the best time for building - why not start today?

@LiamKircher Define “behind.” It seems the majority may not have empathy and perspective and all be driving into the same ditch while you are taking a longer, more global view.
