Hi, Kilimo, Welcome.
Hi @semakitu and welcome to the forum
Hello and welcome @semakitu 
Welcome @semakitu! Out of curiously how did you find out about Cardano ?
Hi Tom, a friend introduced me to Bitcoin and I began doing my research. I became fascinated by the potential of block chain technology. I’m from Kenya, Africa and you can imagine the impact it could have in this part of the world. I stumbled upon Cardano on YouTube and watched Charles Hoskinson. Especially loved the talk he gave at the London School of Economics. I love the Cardano approach. I believe it has the potential to transform not just Africa but the world.

Fantastic and great to have you here!
I am also really excited by the potential Cardano in Africa.
I love the story of M-Pesa. Is it correct that in 2012 there were about 17 million M-Pesa accounts in Kenya?
Hi, Semakitu,
Warm welcome.
Welcome to the party!
M-Pesa was/is a true success story. Can’t confirm the figures but the 17 million M-Pesa accounts in 2012 looks plausible. Although as you’d expect some people have multiple/dormant M-Pesa Accounts. Huge potential for ADA/Cardano early adoption. Not forgetting we receive huge Diaspora remittances.
Thank you!
Thank you very much!
welcome my friend =)

yea, while it’s been proof of concept / need through the crazy adoption - let’s not forget it has centralised corporate (euro-based) owners!
now cardano on the other hand, not only does it not suffer this centralised cancerous… it’s technology is far superior from a security and scalability standpoint not even touching on the network effects of which it shall the beneficiary…
mbele pamoja ndugu!
(forward together brother!)
