AZA Finance

Excited to be delivering the keynote speech at the upcoming Blockchain Africa Conference in celebration of its 10th anniversary! I was lucky enough to attend the very first event ten years ago, back when blockchain was just starting to make waves in Africa. 💫 It’s amazing to see how this conference has grown into such a powerful gathering of thinkers, innovators, and change makers. I can’t wait to reconnect with familiar faces, meet new ones, and talk about what the next 10 years will look like for blockchain in Africa. 💪 #BlockchainAfrica #BAC2024  Bitcoin Events
