So, there’s this dude—you’ve probably heard of him—goes by Cancer. Scary guy. Shows up uninvited, messes up the party, and refuses to leave. For the longest time, scientists thought this guy was a result of “bad genes” or “bad luck.” Kind of like blaming your life problems on Mercury being in retrograde or your Tinder bio. But plot twist: there’s a new suspect in town. Mitochondria. Yes, mitochondria—that bean-shaped blob you barely remember from high school biology. You know, “the powerhouse...

Farming in Kenya is not for the faint of heart. It's like being in a never-ending reality show where Mother Nature, your wallet, and market prices are the unpredictable judges. One day, the sun is smiling at your crops: the next, it's grilling them to perfection—unfortunately, not in a delicious BBQ kind of way. Most farmers today are highly educated, but here’s the catch: education doesn’t put money in the bank. Many of them have a small pot of retirement savings, a family tree with at least...

1. Lack of Trust Among UsersProblem: Explaining blockchain to users is like explaining Wi-Fi to your grandparents: "You can’t see it, but trust me—it’s working!" Yet, people still think you’re hiding something when you say, “It’s decentralized.” Solution: Build transparency tools, dashboards, and interfaces that scream "LOOK, IT’S LEGIT!" Or, better yet, make your blockchain do what humans can’t—like running reliably at 3 AM without drama.2. Lack of Financial ResourcesProblem: Developers ofte...

So, you want to understand how blockchains reach consensus? That’s like trying to explain why cats randomly sprint across the house at 2 AM—it’s mysterious, complicated, and somehow just always keep happening. Have they seen something? would it be a good idea to warn others? But don’t worry! I’m here to make it as easy as ordering pizza. (Well, assuming you don’t have a group of indecisive friends debating pineapple toppings, fruits DO NOT Belong on Pizza.)The Blockchain: A Never-Ending Group...

Once upon a time in 2010, a Florida man did what every African mum warns us about: he wasted good money on junk food. But this wasn't just any junk food. It was two large Papa John's pizzas. Not nyama choma. Not mukimo. Not even a full goat. Just pizza. Flatbread with attitude. And what did he use to pay? Not dollars. Not Kenyan shillings. No, our guy used 10,000 bitcoins. Yes, TEN. THOUSAND. BTC, yawa!Let's pause for dramatic African silence. Back then, 10,000 BTC was worth about $41. That’s...

So, you’ve heard about Bitcoin, Ethereum, and those other blockchains that like to take themselves super seriously, right? Well, buckle up, because Lisk is the blockchain that’s here to disrupt the cool kids’ table. Imagine a blockchain that’s like the chill, laid-back cousin at a family gathering – not trying too hard, just minding its business and letting everyone else know that it has an entire ecosystem of possibilities (without the need for expensive therapy). Let’s dive into the unique ...

Let’s talk about rejection, creatives! If you’re an artist, a musician, a writer, or even that guy who wants to make it big on TikTok dancing in his mum’s sitting room, you have faced rejection. And if you haven’t, just wait—it’s coming. It’s like ugali at a family function; you can’t escape it. The pieces are always bigger, the soup, non-existent and the feeling in your head that you are wasting food and other Africans are watching you do it. My parents and most Luo parents would threaten yo...

For anyone who has interacted with blockchain ecosystems, gas fees are a familiar pain point. These fees, paid to miners or validators for processing transactions, can fluctuate wildly, making blockchain usage unpredictable and expensive. Especially because of "Meme-Coins". But a new development called "account abstraction" is poised to alleviate this frustration and potentially revolutionize how we interact with blockchain systems. The Origins of Account AbstractionAccount abstraction has it...

Valentine's Is Over – Time to Breathe!With Valentine's Day finally behind us, the pressure of love has officially disappeared for another year. No more overpriced flowers, awkward "soft life" Instagram posts, or pretending to like romantic dinners when all you really wanted was to chill with your bestie. Now, you can go back to just being friends, doing normal things, and reclaiming your weekends from candle-lit hostage situations. And you can now get married on the blockchain without ever ha...

Technological innovation follows a predictable path, with individuals and groups adopting new technologies at different stages. This process, known as the Technology Adoption Lifecycle, can be divided into five distinct groups: innovators, early adopters, early majority, late majority, and laggards. Blockchain, the revolutionary decentralized ledger technology, is currently moving from early adopters to the early majority. But challenges, particularly from government policies, threaten its pr...
