My thoughts are with everyone affected by what happened today, from holders and builders to every community member. I can only imagine how difficult this must be for everyone involved.

Moments like this remind us how emotional this space can be. People invest not just money, but also time, trust, and belief. That is why, when something unexpected happens, it affects far more than just a chart.
Africans are still building our place in this industry, because every setback, success, and lesson shapes how the world sees us.
Empathy should always come before criticism. I know what it feels like to face criticism for building in Africa. It isn’t easy, and it never will be, but difficult moments don’t have to define anyone. What matters most is how we respond, how transparent we are, and how we move forward.
This might affect every African tech enthusiast, but I hope we continue supporting African builders with fairness, accountability, and compassion. We don’t have to celebrate another person’s difficult moment to believe in our own journey.
In the words of Malcolm X: "If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing."
Please stop spreading lies.
