@Sooly⚡️سولي 🇱🇧🇧🇪🇦🇪🇦🇴 spitting major facts on the misconceptions and realities in the Middle East and Africa

GM Nostriches! I’ve had a few convos with (btc only) founders who are in the process of raising money. Any angels or VCs lurking out here!? I’d love to connect and pick your brain. VC world is a little new, any feedback would be much appreciated!

Looking for a part time CTO and a web developer ASAP, will pay in sats of course! If you know anyone please share their contact info 🙏🏽 would highly appreciate it!!

My favourite verse in the track! View quoted note →

The past year on the road, merchant adoption has been a priority for us. Why? They are the key to network effects for acceptance/payments. We’ve been talking about a maturity model and finally put it on paper last night. Here is v1 based on our interactions with merchants and our bitcoin preferred juice shop in Uganda. Would appreciate your feedback/comments on this. We see the maturity of a merchant in three levels based on how money is used. Level 1: SoV OR MoE (merchant onboards with either user case based on their need/pain) Level 2: SoV & MoE Level 3: SoV & MoE & UoA There is maturity within each use case (ie SoV: storing in exchange vs cold storage). We’re weak on the UoA use case so if you have experience with merchants pricing in sats, would love your thoughts! We’re hoping to continue flushing this out to create more collateral to help further merchant adoption.
