Bybit Kenya’s dancing robot.

Filmed by Aziz · Nairobi

A Kenyan dancer who came into crypto through content rather than trading explains how he ended up as a brand mascot, and makes the case for other creators to follow. Filmed at the Bybit Content Creator Connect at Antler, Nairobi.

He introduces himself as the dancing robot, and he is direct about where he sits: not a crypto person in the usual sense. “I’m a crypto person in terms of content. Yes, but mostly I do dance.”

Asked whether cryptocurrency is opening opportunities for talent like his, the answer is a pitch rather than an analysis. “Join crypto. Be a cryptocurrency content creator. You’ll earn a lot. Promise me you’ll earn a lot.”

That is the whole argument of the event in one line, from someone who is being paid by it. Worth watching next to the two longer conversations from the same afternoon, where the organiser and a founder make the institutional version of the same case.

Find him as the dancing robot or Bumblebee Kenya on TikTok, and dancingrobot59 on Instagram.
