I'm begging founders to please build for people OUTSIDE of your bubble. Sending stables from one base wallet to another is free, sure. But what happens when I want to turn those stables into HARD CASH so I can use it? Who pays for my fees then? Will Base reimburse those fees? Will Jesse personally reimburse those fees? Get out of your SF/NY bubble and realize that people need fiat to live, stables are not default anywhere yet.

If you've ever gotten a spam call from OPay, EaseMoni, OKash, MTN, or Airtel — this story is about you. TechCabal investigated Nigeria's spam call problem. We surveyed 120 people, spoke to 20 OPay customers. Key things we found: ➡️Blocking numbers doesn't stop it. They rotate to new ones. ➡️Deleting the app doesn't stop it either. ➡️Just browsing a loan app (without borrowing) can trigger the calls. ➡️The NDPC says using banking data for marketing is a crime. They're investigating. Full story here: techcabal.com/2026/04/29/ins…

How do you pay influencers who have influenced for betting businesses to come and tweet about your bank and the NGX ? Lmao 😂. Whoever made that decision should be on PIP

All UBA needed to do was: - Show senior executives are buying more stock. - Get proper NGX influencers to talk about why it’s a great buying opportunity. But they went and started paying cut and join influencers! They have really underestimated the sophistication of market players! This isn’t Big Brother, o! Massive goof!

SF is a magical place, been looking to connect with someone for almost 2 years, I just randomly ran into him in a coffee shop.

Thank you for asking this. I think most people might have the same in various shapes and forms and it’s a good question: 1) that merchant selling ice cream in Rwanda most likely spends RWF to make the ice cream and sell it… so it’s to be expected it wants to be paid in RWF to make more ice cream. This is not someone who’s trying to speculate or hedge… it’s commerce, I spend in RWF, I get revenue in RWF. No FX risk needs to be managed. And what happens where there no USD available in the market? No impact. 2) when buying USDT, you are literally replacing RWF in your holdings with a USD-denominated asset. Pure substitution of a sovereign currency (at a very micro level). And from there if you want to use that USD-denominated asset locally for payments, you are displacing the demand of RWF that I mentioned above in #1 with another country’s currency-denominated asset. If the latter also happens, what happens when there is USD shortage in the market and all merchants expect to be paid in USD? Black market rates and destabilization of the a country’s local currency. I know many will say “USD is king” or “Bitcoin!”, that’s fine, but please understand why central banks will always aim to protect its sovereign currency. And move accordingly. PS: Dollarization is not the answer to inflation and trade issues. It’s a terrible bandaid at best.
