Africa has a demand problem, a broken infrastructure, and here's how
@solana can fix it.
@tobyweb3x, founder of
@usefleets, on why he stopped flipping tokens and started financing buses
"When you come onchain there's a lot of money flipping, which is nice. But at some point you begin to ask yourself, how can you have a real impact on the people around you?"
"Every morning I go to the bus stop and there's a queue of 100 people all rushing to get on one bus. I've been to South Africa, I've been to Kenya, and I've seen the exact same problem."
"People just need to move, not everybody is going to get their own car, and there just aren't enough fleets or buses to move these people. That's the mindset that got us building Fleets."
The whole protocol grows out of that one observation: the demand to move people is already there. What's missing is the capital that puts the buses on the road.
