In 2026, Tando makes it possible to live on Bitcoin in Kenya, and pioneering the spend not sell movement. They are now combining M-Pesa and Bitcoin's Lightning Addresses to unlock that for 40 million Kenyans.

"As Tando has shown, the combination of mobile money and freedom money is growing evidence that where there is a need, Africans will build, and where there is technology, they will pioneer and adopt.

African bitcoin builders continue to demonstrate that you do not need mass adoption or permission to live in the future."

It's been 3 months and 15 days since the sudden passing of my dear friend Hadiya Masieh (@Hadiya HM)—who was like a sister to me.

She was a true beacon of hope who brought a seraphic warmth and positivity to everyone she touched, showing us what a healthier world could look like.

Though it’s still incredibly difficult to process her absence, her mission to uplift communities through financial freedom and Bitcoin lives on.

I’m so grateful to her incredible team at @Groundswell Project for keeping her vision alive. If her work inspired you, please consider supporting them here: http://groundswellproject.org/donate/

She always saw the best in people and every situation. Her impact on my life and countless others is impossible to quantify.

Thank you for everything, Hadiya. You will always be in our hearts and prayers 🩶

In my latest piece for Forbes Crypto, I go through Nigeria’s new tax laws and its implications for Bitcoin and Stablecoin holders and VASPs in 2026 📌

The new laws introduce several changes, including taxes of up to 30% on profits for Bitcoin and stablecoin holders, a 30% corporate tax for VASPs on digital assets operation (e.g. from tx fees), and introduces the potential for digital assets transactions tracking by the government (i.e. direct txs and flows to individuals’ bio and other personal info) 🛑 👁️
