According to the artist, named, Joel Meshak:
“I didn’t get to hear about NFTs till March last year. The biggest motivation was seeing other people making money through digital art. But with time I realized there’s so much more: you get connections, you meet new artists, you get to see people’s stories and you generally build an actual community online.”
– Kenyan NFT artist
Joel is a member of the popular Mbogi Ya NFT twitter group that is known for educating and spreading the word about NFTs.
Safaricom has for the longest time restricted crypto companies from plugging into its ecosystem and this feature is the first for the company to openly come out and offer support for the crypto and NFT ecosystem.M-PESA is the dominant mobile money service in East Africa offering individuals, banks, and businesses an easy way for transactions. It is also credited for opening the way for mobile money adoption globally.___________________________________________________________________ RECOMMENDED READING : Kenyan Hip Hop Star, Octopizzo, Announces NFT Drop for His Upcoming ‘Fuego’ Album ___________________________________________________________________Thank you for your support by helping us create content: BTC address : 3CW75kjLYu7WpELdaqTv722vbobUswVtxT ERC20 Address : 0x03139524428e40E31f13909f8D994C915FB91277 SOL address : 9cC65AWFHj848kntcoyiT8av3jiRQEqyTTmBR1GvVUb ____________________________________________________________________ Follow us on Twitter for the latest posts and updates Join and interact with our Telegram community _____________________Subscribe to our YouTube channel below for more updates: _____________________________________________________________
