Once you have a phone, you can enter Web3: Daniel.
Daniel, in Nigeria, on the cohort he runs over WhatsApp, and why. The problem he is working against is a belief: “most people feel like the only way they can actually make money is through internet fraud.” His answer is the phone in their hand. “Once you have a phone, you can get it to Web3.” From there, in his list: “you can learn blockchain development,” digital marketing, remote work for crypto and Web3 brands. The point of all of it, in his words: “you can earn without having to be a fraudster.”
He is modest about the scale. It is a WhatsApp group, “nothing to fancy, just onboarding new members and teaching them the basics of blockchain and then the basics of crypto,” and “I have a cohort coming up very soon, probably in August.” Why crypto rather than forex? “you can actually start even without a dime in your pocket once you have a phone in your palm.”
The channel’s own title for the piece is in pidgin: ’As you just get phone, na Web3 you don enter so.’ Executive producer @cxy; supported by Donna Dalton and Aja Davis. The transcript below is from the original audio.
