Crypto as a Catalyst for Africa's Prosperity | Gilbert Joekpata | TEDxUniversity of Calabar

In this TEDx talk, we explore how cryptocurrency can revolutionize Africa's economic landscape. With over 350 million unbanked individuals on the continent, traditional financial systems often fall short. Cryptocurrency presents a groundbreaking solution by providing decentralized financial access, fostering greater inclusion and opportunity.

Imagine a future where cross-border transactions are not only faster but also more affordable, breaking down economic barriers and accelerating trade across Africa. Blockchain technology underpins this vision, ensuring transparency, reducing corruption, and streamlining processes across various sectors such as supply chain management, healthcare, and education.

This talk delves into real-world examples and case studies that highlight the transformative power of crypto in Africa. We will explore how innovative startups are leveraging blockchain to solve local challenges, empowering communities driving sustainable growth.
