I'm the only one in this meeting without an open laptop in front of me; pen and notebook, phone obviously. Am I missing something?

Hey @Sabina @Tando.me is fantastic. As a happy user who thinks there's more happiness possible, I put together some thoughts:

1 Kenyan shilling converts to ~7.19 sats. The Central Bank of Kenya can print more shillings but there is and shall only ever be a fixed amount of sats (2.1 x 10^15 sats to be exact). Buy the one that is inherently deflationary: stack sats.

East Africa is in political upheaval. Individual freedoms are under attack across the Horn of Africa. Censorship resistant tech and sound money is no longer "edgy" but necessary. #nostr #bitcoin

Incurring a debt is making a bet that future 'you' will be more productive than current or past 'you'. Shifting resources from the future to the present or past via debt inherently means that you believe today that you can create a better future than you currently forecast you will have if you don't incur the debt today. It is, in a sense, an oxymoron. Why is current or past 'you' more capable than future 'you' on your current or past trajectory?

My dad is 62 years old. When he was my current age, mobile phones cost 1000x and were available to the top 0.1% in Kenyan society. You could buy a 1/2 acre plot of land in Runda for KES 1M. When I'm his age, what will be those things that I will wish I had invested more in at my current age?

In the last 12 months I have become orange pilled and my politics more libertarian 🤔

The @HurupayApp founders did the unthinkable, they sent one of their cofounders to SF because they couldn’t raise in Africa for over one year….

Context: Kenya/Africa/third world countries are not high trust economies - makes it harder to raise capital Idea: a decentralized fundraising platform; build + raise + govern + grow onchain/DAO Will build a prototype and see where this goes. Happy to work with other builders ⚡

A few months out of here and I'm right back. Would be great to make some sats ⚡ from sharing my ideas on sm
