Decentralized open platforms!

Let’s encourage technology that is not owned and controlled by organizations and institutions that can turn off services at a whim

Let’s encourage technology that is Open for anyone and everyone to experiment and build

Decentralized and Open

Why Africa’s Policy Makers Should be Worried About Virtual Platforms and Virtual Currencies

In a lot of ways, Facebook is more like a government than a traditional company. What does this mean for Africa’s Governments, fintech industry and policy makers?

For example @zippiehq and EOSio

Frankly, I’m not optimistic b/c we have muppets for leaders and policy makers

So at the very least, let’s insist on alternatives

So when shit hits the fan (like US forcing Google to shut out China’s Huawei)

We always have a fall back

Yes! Most of our leaders are muppets!!!
