Ah, Web3—the promised land of decentralization, financial inclusion, and power to the people. A future where anyone, regardless of background, can participate in the great blockchain revolution. That is, of course, if you can afford a $500 ticket to an exclusive high-end event, speak fluent Solidity, and don’t mind networking over $15 lattes. Do you see mama mboga partaking in any of that?The Great Irony of Web3 EventsPicture this: A conference titled “Building an Inclusive Web3 Future” hoste...

Let’s be real: content creation in the Web3 space is like explaining crypto to your grandmother. You think you’re making sense, but halfway through, she’s nodding politely while secretly texting your mother to confirm if you’ve joined a pyramid scheme or a cult. That’s where the Busha Creators’ Program comes in! Finally, a space where people actually understand my jokes about gas fees and rug pulls. A place where I can turn my keyboard-smashing rants about blockchain into something that pays ...

March 15th, the magical mid-month moment when salaries are divided into advances, debts, and dreams. For the weary Web3 wanderers, it was also the day of choices—Founders Connect or Sui Kenya? A tough call, but word on the blockchainverse had it that Sui Kenya had better food (yes, that matters), now that kenyans are looking for a way to automate chapati making, one must realize how much we love and respect the food, thank God for the 45th tribe of Kenya and a buffet of different colored juic...

If you thought avocados had reached peak fame with overpriced brunches and Instagram aesthetics, think again. A secret plan (okay, not so secret anymore) is underway to scale the production and usage of over 1 million avocados. The target? Green people—the generation that eats them, smears them on their faces, and worships their buttery green glory. And of course, the aging ones like us, looking to stay young and keep our skins pliable and soft, the dating market is quite difficult in this mo...

I usually only write about web3, but this PayPal Update is just insane.

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...

So, Bitcoin took a nosedive, wiping out all its gains since November 10. It even dipped to a low of $78,372 on Monday, which is the crypto equivalent of waking up to find out your bank account balance is just dust and cobwebs. But why is this happening, you may be asking? The world is not ending, there have been no sighted burning chariots in the sky, Jesus certainly is not on his way back, just yet. 1.

So, welcome to the strange but extremely exciting world of a DAO. Imagine a group chat. But not just any group chat—a caffeine-fueled, emoji-spamming, meme-sharing, hyper-ambitious group chat where everyone is the CEO. Now, add money. A lot of money. And rules. But not normal rules—rules written in code. That, my friend, is a DAO. A DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) is like a co-op on steroids, run by a bunch of like-minded people on the internet who may or may not have met in real ...

If you’ve watched the crypto markets for more than five minutes, you’ve probably noticed something strange: Every time the U.S. stock market sneezes, Bitcoin and the rest of the crypto world collapse like a poorly built Jenga tower. Meanwhile, economic news from China, Germany, Japan—and even crypto powerhouses like Kenya and Nigeria—barely cause a ripple. Why? Is Bitcoin secretly an American citizen? Does Ethereum have a crush on Wall Street? And why does crypto ignore the financial chaos ha...

Once upon a time (okay, like two years ago), I was just a lone startup warrior, coding furiously from 3 PM to 3 AM, just in time for the cat conference, with high pitched discussions and chasing each other over the roof. Coffee, cookies and blind optimism. The dream was simple: find a way to make building startups easier for both tech and non tech founders, most of Africa's problems are local and cover small markets that do not get focused on, they have an impact for the communities that use ...
