I’m Nkosi and I’m sending this message to you from the township of Soweto, Johannesburg. I don’t blame them—I get the headlines, the hype, the glittering Bitcoin millionaires.

Let's be frank. The crypto world has been abuzz, and not in a good way. Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) are looming large, and everyone's asking: are altcoins doomed? The short answer to that is no, but the long answer is where it gets really interesting. Think of it like...
The cryptocurrency space is always moving and changing. Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) have arrived as the new game changers disrupting the every day market establishment.
