“Let our Africans come first in the development of Africa.” — Robert G. Mugabe
It is worth mentioning that foreigners may not understand our struggles as well as we do. They may not be able to communicate with us as effectively as we do with each other. It is also true that they may only come to Africa a few times a year while we are always here.
A typical foreigner will spend several thousand dollars traveling to Africa, paying for accommodation and transportation while he is here. These resources, if used instead of sponsoring or funding projects run by local Africans, would yield much higher returns when used to finance our activities and the acquisition of much needed equipment. Based on a cost-benefit analysis, it is more economical to support local talent than to temporarily bring in foreign talent. Foreigners may also not have as high an incentive as locals to achieve the highest retention levels and to cultivate true Bitcoin communities in these regions of Africa. I don’t mean to talk down anyone’s achievements because I am truly grateful for their work in Africa – but there are mistakes that need to be addressed and addressed.
We also believe we can do it at a much more affordable price. We are better accustomed to the region, the transport networks and other logistical implications that enable us to maximize every penny given to building our communities.
