'...So when you ask me "why are some governments against crypto?", is because, it's a new space, it's a strange space and everyone fears change, and of course, at least they think that their status quo is threatened;...the idea that anyone can spawn up their own version of a currency, I think governments cannot wrap their heads around the fact that they cannot have control over such a fundamental thing...'
In today's episode, I take a deep dive with Mechanical Engineering tech-head & Crypto enthusiast @MawaMaverick. Mawa talks about cryptocurrencies, what terms such as 'defi', 'Byzantine Algorithm', 'white papers', 'ecosystems' and NFTs actually mean, and the relevance of the metaverse. We also discuss how certain countries are taking the lead in adopting digital currency, while other countries and financial institutions are resisting changes, and also discuss the enormous possibilities that cryptocurrencies would open up in Africa, and why we've only scratched the surface regarding this digital frontier. Mawa also talks about one of his favourite blockchain and how it allows users to create autonomous software agents that automate task. We also vent about 'gas fees', and of course, we look at the quote that continually inspires him
Mawa has a background in Mechanical Engineering and Machine Learning & Artificial Intelligence. He is also a Content Creator on Youtube, Twitter and other social channels. He is a keen advocate for Cryptocurrency and believes that, although he only started out in 2017, he is only getting started. One of Mawa's favourite sayings is: "Don't get de-structed and stay alert!"
