Cryptocurrency is on the rise in Africa, even Pastors are backing it

Cryptocurrency has captivated Africans as a way to build wealth, and now, spiritual leaders are joining in! In Ghana, Prophet Bernard ElBernard Nelson-Eshun, Lead Pastor of Spirit Life Revival Ministries, recently encouraged his congregation to invest in Dogecoin (DOGE) with a $200 minimum and hold it for four years, calling it a "long-term profit strategy."

Despite the concerns of regulatory bodies like the Bank of Ghana, who have declared crypto off-limits for financial institutions until further notice, the digital currency remains unstoppable. In fact, Dogecoin saw a 20% boost recently, hitting highs not seen since November 2021. And with Bitcoin approaching a new all-time high of $79,993, interest in crypto has never been higher.

African countries like Tunisia, Morocco, and Tanzania have banned crypto, but it’s clear that the allure of digital currency remains strong.

Are you investing in crypto? Would you consider following this advice?

Amid Africa’s growing climate crisis, former Nigerian Vice President Prof. Oluyemi Osinbajo offers a bold perspective: it's time to focus on people over structures.

At the Babacar Ndiaye 2024 Lecture in D.C., Osinbajo highlighted the power of human capital as a core strategy for Africa's climate resilience. “Education, digital skills, and AI training are the tools we need to build a future equipped to tackle climate change,” he said.

A Chip That Can Make the Blind See?

Neuralink, the brain-chip startup founded by Elon Musk, just received FDA approval for its Blindsight device. This experimental implant aims to restore vision for those who have lost both eyes and optic nerves. Musk even suggests it could allow people who have been blind from birth to see for the first time, as long as their visual cortex is intact.

The initial vision quality will be basic, similar to old video game graphics, but Musk is optimistic about future developments. Imagine seeing in infrared, ultraviolet, or even radar wavelengths.

While human trials for this revolutionary gadget haven’t started yet, Neuralink continues to push the boundaries of brain-computer interface technology. They’re also working on a device to help paralyzed individuals control digital devices with their thoughts.

It’s still early days, but the possibilities are incredible. What do you think about this breakthrough tech?
