Chainalysis recently published a report highlighting the significant growth of crypto adoption across Africa, particularly in Sub-Saharan regions. VALR's Head of Growth, Blake Player, shared his perspective on these findings: "People are mainly speculating and investing which is only one use of crypto. In Africa, we see significant real-world use cases like payments and store of value. For many in markets with high inflation and unstable government, it is a lifesaving innovation."

Dear all, Growing up, the concept of World Peace featured more prominently in daily discourse than it does today. I'd like to revisit this old concept and I'm happy to share some thoughts around this topic. "In a world driven by self-interest and a predominantly materialist worldview, peace remains out of reach. The foundational obstacle lies in our collective failure to recognize our divine origin and unity, which should guide human affairs. Without this recognition, even the best technological advancements can fall short of their potential to foster real progress." Always happy to hear more thoughts on what I believe to be the most weighty and pressing topic.
World Peace, Technology, and the Need for New Institutions

“The world doesn’t just need a world currency, it deserves a world currency” - Farzam Ehsani. In a recent podcast on Bonnie Blockchain, our CEO, Farzam Ehsani, made a compelling argument for why crypto’s emergence as a global reserve currency seems inevitable. While he doesn’t know when it will happen, he insists that it certainly will. “Ultimately we’re heading towards that, but there’s going to be quite a transition to make it happen.” Read on for more: https://lnkd.in/dRSsDgYy
