CRYPTO with KAMAL

In the latest episode of crypto with Kamal, Bryce Weiner discusses the fallout from the FTX collapse and the conspiracy theories that have emerged from this sensational financial tale that has yet to be fully told. Bryce started as a drive time FM disc jockey on a small market radio station in the Midwest before embarking on a 15 year career as a Fortune 500 software developer for firms such as Thomson Reuters and Lockheed Martin. Beginning his blockchain engineering career in 2012 by building his own Bitcoin mining farm and now with over a dozen blockchain networks to his credit, Bryce is one of the most experienced blockchain engineers in the industry. He has been frequently consulted by financial institutions, news organizations, and courts of law for his irreverent and sometimes controversial views of blockchain technology, its implementation, and its potential.

During the month of February, I teamed up with the Bithomie, Flyy High, and the Cryptactivist Collective in the sponsorship of hygiene products for all 106 female students for 1 full year. Access to hygiene products has been the number one reason for female students at Moonlight Centre either falling behind in their studies or dropping out of school. Sponsorship also included a printer and internet connection. This enabled Moonlight to offer printing services locally as a source of sustainable income. Sponsorship of educational material for Moonlight Centre School on blockchain technology came from Kamal in the form of copies of Defi for the Diaspora, laying the groundwork for exposing and educating the students about blockchain/cryptocurrency technology and the opportunity it provides for the diaspora.
