  • Episode 260: Bitcoin Solutions for African Challenges with Femi Longe
    2025/02/11
    Greetings Glocal Citizens! As I head back to the Continent, I can’t help but to train my mind on what it takes to seed and sow solutions in Africa’s best interest. This week’s guest has also been invested in these types of solutions for his entire career. A serial social entrepreneur, innovation consultant, service designer, learning scientist and startup coach, Femi Longe is passionate about helping individuals and organizations be and do their best to enable a better world. Born in the UK, raised in his Nigera and now based in Ireland, Femi currently works on the Financial Freedom team at the Human Rights Foundation (https://hrf.org) as Global Bitcoin Lead, driving strategy and execution of the HRF’s Bitcoin Development Fund, This is a fund dedicated to growing adoption of Bitcoin and adjacent freedom technologies especially in countries under repressive regimes. Previously, he was the CEO of QALA Africa (https://www.forbes.com/sites/digital-assets/2023/09/05/jay-z-and-jack-dorsey-funded-btrust-acquires-african-bitcoin-talent-firm-qala/) — acquired by Btrust and transformed into Btrust Builders, which is an engineering training programme helping African software developers transition to careers in Bitcoin & Lightning development.

Earlier in his career, he gained experience at the UK's foremost social innovation centre, The Young Foundation, where he established the UpRising Leadership Programme. As the transitions between the Stone Age to Bronze Age, and various different human technologies delivered us to the Industrial Age and presently the Information Age, all contributing the imprint that is humanity today, I am extsatic to be a storyteller with the ability to share perspectives like these.
