July 26–August 8, 2026.
A month ago, I had the opportunity to attend Bitcoin Mastermind, the very first Bitcoin conference in Francophone Africa.
The event brought together key players who—each in their own way—are contributing to the democratization, development, and adoption of Bitcoin in Africa and around the world.
One panel stood out to me in particular: the one featuring @Loicbtc and @carine_impact on the future of money in Africa.
I walked away with valuable lessons, insights, and a clear perspective.
For me, that future is Bitcoin. Not mobile money. Not fiat currency.
I deeply believe that money should be a tool accessible to everyone, regardless of where they live or their social standing.
The problem with mobile money and fiat currency is that they aren't neutral. You have to sign up, register, go through intermediaries, and sometimes deal with outages or malfunctions that are completely beyond your control.
Bitcoin, on the other hand, requires none of that. It is neutral and open to all social classes. A phone, an internet connection, and you're all set.
It was a great pleasure for me to participate in #BMM2026.
I hope to see many of you there for the next edition.
CIAO👋.
