I was recently called by a memecoin investor and asked to rethink my view on them. This article is for you, you know yourself, with your love for memecoins and the veiled threats. if you dont like memecoins, i will.........here you go, take it easy. If you’ve ever been tempted by those meme coins that promise to make you rich faster than a Nairobi land scam, then you also know they can disappear quicker than Safaricom airtime on data bundles. What is it, with these bundles, the cost is rising...

There’s something poetic about a Saturday afternoon in Nairobi—especially when it involves AI, startups, and an endless supply of mocha coffee. The sky was painted a perfect blue, the city buzzing with just enough energy to remind us why we’re here: the Nairobi Tech Mixer, hosted by DataMellon, a company promising AI-driven automation, cloud scalability, and a chance to rub shoulders with top investors. The Workstyle Vibes Nestled in I&M Tower, right next to City Park and the unmistakable Ind...

The crypto community is reaching a boiling point over the rampant promotion and subsequent abandonment of memecoins by high-profile influencers and celebrities. Retail investors, lured in by the hype and the promise of quick gains, often find themselves on the losing end when these figures exit their positions, causing sharp price declines and significant financial losses. This ongoing cycle of pump-and-dump schemes is leading to mounting frustration, and we may be witnessing the early stages...

Nairobi traffic, boda confusion, and a detour through half the city later, I finally made it to Emara Ole Sereni for a Bybit event. My boda guy, a proud Uber warrior, somehow managed to turn a 15-minute ride into a cross-county adventure, and when I asked why he didn't know the city he was working in, we had a civil discourse about the importance of geographical awareness in the transportation industry. A lesson for another day. Inside, the event had all the trappings of a proper Web3 gatheri...

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...

In a recent high-profile security breach, Bybit’s Ethereum multisig cold wallet was compromised, leading to unauthorized fund transfers. The attacker managed to deceive the signing process by manipulating the interface and altering the underlying smart contract logic. While the breach did not stem from a direct cryptographic failure, it exposed vulnerabilities in the transaction approval process and multisig smart contract implementation. 1.

University students have three main hobbies: scrolling endlessly on their phones, mastering the art of procrastination, and devouring free food like it's their last meal before exams.

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...
