Shared my plate of Jollof and cowleg stew from a Nigerian kitchen, and my kenyan colleague almost died. Four bottles of water within an hour.

TradFi players will become the most valuable crypto companies over the next couple of years with the way regulations around stablecoins are shaping up. Love to see it.
