Months of building Bitcoin infrastructure in Africa taught me something: A lot of people support the idea, but far fewer support the execution. At @LetAfricaBuild, Africa’s first Bitcoin-focused developer hub, we kept shipping anyway: - Launched weekly blockchain onboarding sessions - Started building our open-source builder pipeline - Secured partnerships to support and activate builders - Opened long-term conversations around Bitcoin and open-source infrastructure across Africa One thing became clear: the future of African innovation will not be built by people waiting for perfect conditions, full funding, or permission. It will be built by the people who keep shipping through uncertainty and limited resources. That experience changed how I think about partnerships, ecosystem growth, and long-term alignment. We’re still early, but the builders shaping this future are starting to show up. If you’re building or investing for the long term, let’s talk.

What Happens When the Community Can’t Afford the Ecosystem? A community that helped build the ecosystem from nothing now has barely $10–$50 left in their pockets. They believed in airdrops, meme coins, NFT trading, and speculative participation, not simply because they were chasing hype, but because those were the only accessible mechanisms that allowed ordinary people to participate in upside while supporting the ecosystem early. Now most of those pathways are gone. At the same time, developers continue building infrastructure, protocols, and financial products designed primarily for whales, funds, and institutions. But the people who carried the ecosystem through its earliest stages can no longer afford the entry point. So the real question becomes: If the users have no capital to invest, no meaningful ownership, no speculative upside, and no clear way to benefit from the growth they helped create, why would they stay? Ecosystems that ignore this eventually stop being communities and start becoming capital enclaves. Better technology alone does not solve that problem. Liquidity consolidates upward, participation declines, and the culture that once made the ecosystem resilient disappears. The solution is not unquestioningly reviving speculation. The solution is to design sustainable incentive systems that create real economic participation for the people who are actually building, contributing, educating, testing, and evangelizing from the ground up. Because incentives were never a side effect of growth. They were the growth engine itself. - Just thinking out loud

Freelancing is the only industry where you can do 100% of the work and still not get paid. and somehow we just accept that as normal.

I'm not on Bitcoin. I'm not off Bitcoin. I'm of Bitcoin. I don't borrow its security. I inherit it. I let you earn bitcoin on your bitcoin. What am I?

I am building Africa’s builder pipeline for Bitcoin infrastructure. @LetAfricaBuild is focused on moving developers from learning to shipping real products and into incubation. We are already activating this through: – Open-source builder programs – A structured developer pipeline – A funding layer for early-stage projects Our focus is simple: - Produce builders. - Support them to ship. - Turn them into companies. This creates early access to infrastructure-level startups emerging from Africa. We are currently onboarding a small group of ecosystem partners and long-term backers aligned with this vision. If you are investing in early-stage infrastructure or developer ecosystems, reach out.

Massive shoutout to @KenTheRogers for guiding all the Bitcoin Builders at @Stacks and particularly at the @StacksAustralia chapter. You made a massive contribution to a the learners. We thank you Kenny 🟧🍸

Today is my last day at Stacks Labs. I've been in the Stacks ecosystem for 5 years now, just over 4 working on Developer Relations full time. One thing I have repeated since the very beginning, that I will continue to repeat, is that the community is the best part of this ecosystem. While I am of course sad to be leaving, I am also excited to see the work of everyone in the ecosystem come to fruition over the rest of the year, both the core contributors and the amazing community of builders I've worked with over the years. They say you should try to never be the smartest person in your circle, and I've been able to surround myself with smart, competent, caring people over the last 5 years. I still strongly belive in the mission of Bitcoin and building a robust economy on top of it with Stacks, and I'll be around still. As for what I will be focusing on going forward, I've been deeply embedded in building with AI the last two years, and I am going to be leaning strongly that direction for the foreseeable future. I'll be focusing on pursuing opportunities in the AI space, including consulting (take a look below if you need some help implementing or building with AI 😉) and looking for career opportunities in that space. Again, I can't stress enough how much I've enjoyed being a part of this ecosystem and working with you all. See you around 🫡

This is my last week at Talent. I’ve been lucky to be part of a team with a mission to help builders succeed. → 2022, pioneered personal tokens → 2024, launched the builder economy memecoin with a $1M airdrop to distribute → 2025, distributed $600k+ through Builder Rewards with our partners I’m grateful to the Talent community and users. Your feedback kept me pushing to create the best experience for you. I’ll miss my team and will always root for them. @0xmacedo, @pcbo , @simao_etc, @tolgadizmen, @0x_leal, @RubenDinis12, @HooCrypto, @pmatsino — you guys are legends! I hope our paths cross again. It’s been a great chapter. I’ve grown from ambassador to Head of Growth, learning a ton and meeting so many amazing people along the way. Now, I’m taking some time to reflect, learn, and figure out what’s next. Keep building 🫡

I started building something for freelancers a few months ago. It is not that kind of platform that you only speculate the authenticity of the worth of your value. It is something different. I will be sharing more soon.

I used to think the hardest part of freelancing was finding clients. turns out the hardest part is getting the ones you find to actually pay you. @WorkShielded
