so, what can kobo do for Africa that any other coin cant
Dev can answer this himself when he's back from delivering his daughter to uni, but from a previous discussion with him:
- Timing: West Africa is well positioned to adopt a micropayment system, so this is a good time to try and be that system.
- Connections: Dev grew up in the region and has a better idea than most devs how things work, how to advertize there, etc.
- Experience: Dev has pretty extensive experience in IT and appears genuinely interested in making this happen.
So...none of that is a guarantee, but it's more than most cryptos have going for them, and it does theoretically give Kobo a leg up in the target region relative to other coins. Time will tell. Meantime, check out the links in the OP--Dev's LinkedIn, the info about microfinance in Africa, etc.--and come to your own conclusions.
