Thread by @ScottAWolfe

In my 5th #BitcoinVoices thread, I'm honoured to feature a true global leader and ambassador, Fodé Diop @diopfode.

Based in Dakar, Sénégal, Fodé is dedicated to advancing financial literacy, economic development, and empowerment for people throughout Africa and beyond. 🧵

2/ A software developer, teacher and activist, Fodé has shared his personal story of what led him to #Bitcoin. It's a story rooted in the colonial economic systems and structures -- IMF, CFA franc -- which oppress people and countries throughout Africa.

3/ Fodé is now using his talents & passion to build many onramps to opportunity for others. This includes launching #Bitcoin Developers Academy bitcoindevelopers.academy, educating on socio-economic development issues, and co-hosting @AfricaBTConf (Ghana, Dec 2022) with @Farida_N.

4/ Fodé is currently embarking on a series of visits across Africa -- Mali, Nigeria, Kenya, Egypt, South Africa, Central African Republic -- to advance community-building, education, and #Bitcoin adoption. Please donate to support his important work!👇
