Sometimes being intelligent is a curse. You know the game, you see the lies, U recognize preteens, U know details that others overlook. U read btโn the lines. You recognize peopleโs intentions through what they do. Despite knowng all that U hve to play a fool to survive.

HAPPY BITCOIN WHITE PAPER DAY!๐
18 years ago today, October 31, 2008, Satoshi Nakamoto published Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System, introducing a new way to transfer value without relying on financial intermediaries.
What began as a white paper has grown into a global movement for financial freedom, individual sovereignty and open-source innovation.
Across Africa, that vision continues to inspire people to learn, build, educate and create new opportunities with Bitcoin.
18 years later, the revolution is still being built.
Happy Bitcoin White Paper Day! ๐งก

Binance has begun recovering affected assets for users and continues to work with law enforcement, issuers, blockchain intelligence firms and industry partners to trace, freeze and recover additional funds.
The company has already publicly committed to cover losses through company funds in the prior announcement.
Binance has already reserved over $6.34B of company funds to cover this incident. $5B of these funds are already held in the exact token assets that were impacted. We are completing the purchase of the remaining amount by buying token assets through market channels and OTC channels. We are doing this to match the format of the remaining token assets and address any asset shortfalls. This step can take longer because some tokens may have low liquidity and OTC settlement also takes time. We will share more progress as soon as we can.
These figures do not include frozen or protected assets, which remain subject to ongoing recovery and verification. Currently, $3bn has been frozen, with thanks to our industry partners. We are working with partners and law enforcement to recover the frozen assets.We will continue to use company resources to cover confirmed shortfall and will provide further verified updates as recovery efforts progress. Ultimately, all user funds will be verified publicly through our Proof of Reserves.
We will weather this storm. Thank you for the support.

Binance's initial investigation suggests that the security incident may involve a compromised DevOps engineerโs laptop, which allowed an attacker to gain access to a service container and submit unauthorized withdrawal transactions. We have found no evidence of any wallet private key leak. We will share a detailed technical post-mortem once the investigation is complete and the facts are fully verified.
The estimated total impact sits at around $6.3B. We have worked with blockchain partners to freeze affected assets, with ~$3 billion frozen on-chain so far.
Binance will cover all losses from the SAFU fund and the companyโs funds. User funds are safe. We will also publish an updated Proof of Reserves once the remediation is complete.
As an immediate precaution, Binance has:
- temporarily suspended deposits and withdrawals while security checks are completed;
- revoked the affected address authorisation;
- engaged law enforcement and blockchain intelligence partners to trace and recover funds.
Our teams are working around the clock to resolve this issue safely and thoroughly. We are working closely with our law enforcement partners to confirm the identity of these criminals and bring them to justice.
Please rely only on official Binance channels for updates. Please feel free to contact Binance Customer Support if you have any further questions.

Ghana is testing stablecoins, a CBDC, bank accounts and mobile wallets together in cross-border payments.
BoG Governor Johnson Pandit Asiama disclosed the pilots on 13 Oct at the IMFโWorld Bank meetings in Bangkok. Corridors: GhanaโRwanda and GhanaโNigeria (PAPSS extended to mobile wallets on the Nigeria route).
Aim is to go live on existing African infrastructure. Fintech licence-passporting with Rwanda is under discussion with 10+ other countries.
Still pilots โ no new binding law yet. Results matter for AfCFTA settlement and cutting reliance on foreign correspondent banks.
@AfricaWeb3_Inst: interoperability should be the design principle, and stablecoins must sit inside the supervisory perimeter from day one. BoG should publish findings from both corridors; the 10+ countries in passporting talks should open technical channels with Accra now.
Regulators who want input have a window before these go live.

๐ฆ From Blockchain Theory to Writing Code! ๐
Today, we successfully concluded Session 3 of our Blockchain Fundamentals & Bitcoin Development with Rust series!
After exploring blockchain and Bitcoin architecture in our previous sessions, today we took our first steps into practical development.
๐ป We explored Rust installation, syntax, data types, variables, functions, and the fundamentals of writing and running Rust programs.
Our goal is simple: Move beyond understanding technology to building with it.
๐ Thank you to everyone who joined, coded along, and asked insightful questions!
๐ Next: Bitcoin Development with Rust, Thursday, 29 October.
๐ท๐ผ Africa needs more builders, researchers, and open-source contributors. We're taking it one line of code at a time!

Formula 1 is the most technologically advanced sport in the world. It is not just a race, it is a demonstration of what humans are capable of. My sincere wish is that Rwanda takes full advantage of this opportunity to drive a technology renaissance in Africa.
What an evening!
Had a great time with this brother @belyi_nobel. We exchanged some experiences and I have learned a lot

Across the world, millions of households, farmers, businesses, and communities are increasingly at risk of climate shocks, disasters, health emergencies, economic uncertainty, and other risks. Yet, too many affordable, accessible, and appropriate insurance protections remain out of reach.
The challenge is no longer simply whether insurance exists.ย

Before putting your money into any IPO, ask yourself five questions:
Do I understand what I am buying?
What am I actually paying for it?
What needs to go right for me to make money?
What could go wrong?
If I am wrong, how much can I afford to lose?
