How do people in frontier markets such as Africa benefit from the massive opportunities in the crypto/web3 space?
This is the question in the minds of many Africans who are keen on getting involved in crypto/web3, but are only vaguely informed about what it is and more so, how to get involved.
This episode features Yele Bademosi, co-founder of Nestcoin, a crypto-focused company with core interests in gaming, DeFi, media and digital art, and David Adeleke, communications lead at Nestcoin and seasoned expert as a writer and editor with an impressive CV, having worked with giants such as Tech Cabal and Business Insider. Yele also co-founded Bundle, a social payments technology company, and Microtraction, an early-stage VC firm with portfolio firms in six African countries.
Nestcoin builds products targeted at making viable economic opportunities more accessible to the ordinary person, with a core philosophy focused on re-inventing the financial system by building products that the everyday person can use.
These products include Breach Club, Metaverse Magna and more.
Through Nestcoin's coordinated efforts, it has been able to establish a range of products and services to potentially onboard millions of people into crypto by bridging the knowledge gap through education and simplifying the process of involvement in the sphere for the majority of the African population.
Yele and David discuss crypto as an equalizer that bridges the financial gap in frontier markets and about efforts that Nestcoin has made in realizing this future in the African continent through its developed range of products and services in its ecosystem.
