Is bitcoin full speed in Kenya? I am getting a lot of queries about it. I am just telling folks it smells like a pyramid and i haven't cared enough to look at the details
Deutsche Bank, among very many, are taking it seriously:

Fiat currency is a scam.

CBK warned Kenyans about cybercurrency sometime back. I doubt this has changed. So there would be no serious exchanges. IBM Kenya is presently hiring cybercurrency researchers. It'll pick up with time. I know a miner in Nairobi - the Andela dude.

Oh, we're very many in Kenya who ignored the CBK. [emoji846]
Look up the monthly Kenyan volumes on Localbitcoins.com.

It was hit by a truck because it was stationary and could not take evasive action.  That seems like an elementary oversight.

It's worth $15B - 50% over Safaricom - and has 180m daily active users. The prospects are good as a camera company. Especially in VR.

Snaptacles were a silly idea seeing the way Google Glass fared. Despite all the subliminal marketing. The scifi series Intelligence was a Glass ploy. The Watch seems to be doing okay.

VR and AR will explode soon. Snapchat has the edge here - especially in the kids market - a key segment.

Ohh veri. AI and space are the future. Elon's on the right track. Do you know his new company Neuralink is creating brain chips - a human computer interface.

What exactly will that be? Painted chips? When Edison invented electricity it changed the world, when the atomic bomb was finally patented after numerous scientists came together it changed the world. Do you honestly believe Elon Musk is all that?

Yes veri, I believe Elon Musk is revolutionary. Most modern entrepreneurs just make a small empire for themselves. The Zuckerbergs. Elon is all about longterm impact. Someone who wants to make the human species space-faring and multi-planetary. And to transition the world to sustainable energy. I find that revolutionary, especially because there is visible, rapid progress towards those goals, in SpaceX and those Gigafactories.

Now you can say he could be fighting poverty or disease in Africa as nobler goals. Others are doing that and he's not conceited to know everything.

the only difference between him and a dreamer is the fact he has money. Everyone dreams. Name me one achievement he's done for humanity aside from his concept cars.

Robina, have you been to a car show? Each year for the last 50? years they have concept cars and I've been to a few and have witnessed dime a dozen concept cars that'll put Elon to shame. Movers and shakers lay low but know where to flaunt it. Doesn't just stop with cars, rocket concepts, architectural concepts, pretty much everything Elon preaches about has had some proof-of-concept about it 30 years ago. Elon markets things like some unicorn on steroids for comic books on a grander scale and it's so unfortunate intelligent folks like yourself have fallen for it like some unicorn cult.

Jesus is revolutionary but what would Jesus do today but moreso what did Jesus invent? I think you're projecting this Messiah complex, pedestal mindset, cult reprieve on Elon. I know you have a thing for Jesus and I noticed you've sort of replaced your personality fit for a pedestal figure like Jesus to now Elon. I think the solution to this is just to bring Jesus back in your life.

Let me remind you Elon appeals to gangly white unicorns in their 40s. It's pretty scary. I should write a book about it.

Lordy Lord.

My dearest Robi, currencies come and go but gold is forever. If ever the world goes to war & the market crashes, I hope you keep a pot of gold stashed somewhere under the rainbow.
