Are Blockchain Networks ready for #QuantumComputing? 👀 Apple released PQ3, Google's quantum AI & Willow How far are we from QC being in our daily lives? (access? cost? Tech?) Any thoughts on post-quantum #cybersecurity in #Web3 & #Web5 contexts? Time to discuss it, no?

The major problem is that Africa has wrong people in the right room. We all need to be intentional and ruthless to weed out these grifters. I can’t scream this enough we might not have the access or the wealth but at least let’s take a chance on ourselves and be the bridge for those coming after us. There is a lot at stake than your personal agendas and paycheques. We rise together or perish

@nethan_eth @EFDevcon Nairobi it is. All my 🩷 & 🫡 for all in list. Yet let's give the due recognition for Kenya (& Africa). Nairobi has it from history/experience, long standing and consistent community & strong capacity The African chain activities statistics calls DevCon home this time 🫰

Ethiopian PM suggesting possibility of war in address to Parliament
ነብዩ@neby_G

🚨 𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠: @AbiyAhmedAli 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐬 𝐄𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐨𝐩𝐢𝐚’𝐬 𝐑𝐞𝐝 𝐒𝐞𝐚 𝐚𝐦𝐛𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 “𝐧𝐨𝐧-𝐧𝐞𝐠𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞,” 𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐬 “𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐫 𝐛𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐬, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫.” Source: @VOAAmharic Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed: “Once war begins, the outcome is clear.” Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, in his remarks related to the Red Sea and Eritrea, warned that “once war begins, the outcome is clear,” adding, “We have reliable capability—no one can stop us.” He stated that Ethiopia’s quest for access to the Red Sea is a matter that “cannot be stopped,” calling on the international community to “mediate” and “bring a solution.” Speaking today, Tuesday, October 28, 2025, before the House of Peoples’ Representatives, Abiy gave an extended and emphatic speech on the Red Sea issue. During the session, MPs raised questions concerning national security risks that have emerged “because of the Red Sea and Shaebia [Eritrea].” In response, Abiy began by asserting that every country has its own “national interests” and “national concerns,” emphasizing that the difference between nations lies in their “level of information and understanding.” He explained that based on these, countries may “expand” or “weaken” their national interests or concerns. He stated: “In regard to the national interest of Ethiopia, what I want the respected parliament to understand is that — Ethiopia is a country that has suffered the most unjust act. At the very least, do not forbid us from saying this.”

Funny enough, this is why I’m more bullish on the advent of AI. Since crypto seems to be slipping into banking 2.0 but with faster settlement times, lower fees, and more global reach, yet still suffering from the permissioned system and opacity and lack of accountability with the entities running things.

@snj_peters 🎯 thanks! Closely seeing Web3 wave for years, I'm curious about what comes after crypto... people popping up with the same solution, repeated security breaches, AI + its power consumption, Quantum Tech, constantly shifting grounds, concealed desperations, many surprises...

@LiskHQ Thats the pattern Africans see everywhere, many won't speak for fear of loosing the bread crumbs. Lots of raw value comes from Africa but the world seems to be entitled to not reward or trust Africans equitably even if is obvious, unless of-course they are some type of diaspora.

Blockchain is booming in the places that need it most — but the money isn’t following. 🌍 Africa moved $205B on-chain last year (+52% YoY) but got just 1% of VC funding. 🌎 LATAM saw $415B in value with the same pattern. 🇺🇸 The US? Still pulls in ~50% of all funding, even as growth slows. The problem isn’t adoption — it’s how capital gets allocated. 🧵

Exactly. And yet we see that new crypto cities don't fix that while the whole point was supposed to be designing a new nurturing system and let the old cranky, wasteful controlling and exploitive system go obsolete. We got some work to do. Let's change that with @tftcxyz
Kim Adams@KimAdams

the fact that passports still define who gets access to opportunity in 2025 is insane. Easily the dumbest form of identity. It says nothing about who a person really is, their abilities or potential. And no one seems to have the balls to fix it 🤦‍♀️

@MathecowitschH @Felipeoria Tech has been engineering a lot and now its time for legal engineering to catch up and walk together and make the journey smooth.

Digital Sovereignty and the Cloud Wars: Infrastructure as Power In his latest edition of the Digital Regulation series, where he explores the intersection of technology, regulation, and policy, with a touch of geopolitics, @Felipeoria highlights the shifting role of tech companies in governance and regulation, shedding light on the evolving relationship between the public and private sectors. Decentralized organizations meet with Jurisdiction. Jurisdictions like the UAE, Cayman Islands, and Wyoming are offering legal wrappers to register DAOs, lowering regulatory barriers but raising concerns over accountability and "flag of convenience" risks. Simultaneously, regions like Próspera (Honduras), Zug (Switzerland), and Dubai's VARA are emerging as Special Digital Economic Zones, testing alternative governance models. These zones offer private dispute resolution, bespoke regulations, and create a "governance-as-a-service" model where communities choose their regulatory frameworks. "Code is law" underpins this new governance model. Smart contracts automate rules, offering efficiency but lacking human nuance, flexibility, and accountability. These systems, often extra-territorial, complicate national enforcement on issues like labor rights or financial disclosure. Corporate interest is growing too - Walmart and Amazon are exploring stablecoins, signaling a shift where companies may control internal economies and financial systems. This evolving landscape fosters innovation but also invite regulatory arbitrage, Jurisdictions compete for digital organizations, and DAOs may operate where rules are most lenient. This raises global legal tensions: innovation vs oversight; freedom vs accountability. Ultimately, this shift challenges conventional nation-state sovereignty. Governance can now be coded, chosen, or bought - forcing urgent questions about democratic legitimacy in the digital age. The future depends on bridging innovation with equitable, transparent governance. This articles echoes a lot of work at @tftcxyz , building such Special Digital Economic Zones, their regulations, operating systems, and civilizational designs with all those considerations, risks and opportunities in mind.

WAIT… YOU STILL CARRY CASH LIKE THAT? KOFI: Bro, I just bought tomatoes at the market today, and guess where the woman brought out my change from? An old peanut butter jar under her table. KWAME: That’s normal in South Africa’s informal economy o! But let me tell you something—things are changing. KOFI: You sure? Another mobile app? KWAME: No, this one’s different. It’s called LovCash. And it’s running on @LiskHQ. They’re not replacing cash, just making it better. KOFI: Better how? KWAME: Now, shop owners can earn cashback when they restock. Wholesalers can send special offers to their best buyers. And suppliers? They can finally see what’s selling and where, no need to guess. KOFI: All that? And people still buy the same way? KWAME: Yes! Same market. Same hustle. Just smarter. No stress, Just real solutions for real people. KOFI: Hmm... so blockchain is not just for crypto guys in hoodies again? KWAME: Not at all. This time, it’s for the streets. For us. LovCash + Lisk = Real change where it matters. Check it here: lovcash.co.za

@tftc we build what has to exist.
Mathecowitsch Hugo@MathecowitschH

It is both extremely challenging and unbelievably fulfilling to build a new industry from scratch. We created a playbook. @tftcxyz has designed an industry standard that is proving itself repeatable. Early signals hint that it is also very possibly scalable. For those of you who like "international relations, business, political affairs and/or commerce, History, technology or commerce", who do not find their way working with or investing in/with traditional start-ups, traditional crypto projects, traditional corporations or conventional government organizations and want to build powerful engines of wealth creation, the next frontier of social entrepreneurship, and the new kinds of organizations that will be remembered as sending our current governance systems to the museum: join us!
