The mirage of modernity
You’ve been sold the idea that blockchain is a gold rush for everyone. That every smartphone can become a mine of digital wealth. The reality? Many risk remaining spectators, watching the train of revolution pass by while they are still looking for their tickets.
Blockchain: a new ecosystem, not just a simple gadget
Imagine blockchain as an ocean. Some see waves to surf on, others see underwater monsters. It’s not just a technology, it’s a system of value, trust, control. Understanding its currents, tides, and storms is the difference between becoming the captain of your destiny or remaining shipwrecked in the status quo.
1 : The illusion of knowledge
The majority think they know what blockchain is. But knowing how to click on a wallet or buy an NFT does not mean understanding the rules of the game. Like a child holding a wooden sword and thinking he is a knight. The result: many move forward blindly and get eaten by the complexity of the market.
2 : Lack of structure and vision
Many embark without a plan, without strategy. It’s like sowing seeds in the desert and hoping for a forest. Blockchain demands discipline, continuous learning, and long-term vision. Those who jump from one project to another without understanding the terrain will ultimately fail.
3: The fear of innovation
Africa has often been a ground for ingenuity, but paradoxically, many remain trapped in skepticism. The fear of failure, regulation, and the unknown holds back talent. Meanwhile, other continents are reaping the rewards of disruption.
4 : Dependency on infrastructure
Without reliable Internet, without access to international exchanges, without financial education, blockchain remains a mirage. It’s like wanting to navigate the ocean with a punctured raft. The potential exists, but the conditions are still fragile.
Conclusion: The awakening must be immediate
The blockchain train will not wait. It’s not just a matter of technology; it’s a matter of mindset, boldness, and preparation. Africans have everything to transform this continent into a global hub of blockchain innovation... but only those who act now, with vision and courage, will avoid remaining spectators.
