Crypto Entrepreneurship is Not for the Weak | David Kimani’s Journey into Founding Afrex
Listen now
Description
In this episode of My Tech Story Africa, we follow the fascinating journey of David Kimani, a young artist whose story unfolds with a paintbrush in one hand and a Bitcoin in the other. Overcoming challenges in the cryptoverse, he found unexpected guidance from local Bitcoin exchanges and bookies, ultimately cashing out a substantial amount. As David went on to pursue a master’s degree in international contemporary art design practice, he balanced freelance graphic design with Bitcoin profits. While in the UK and Malaysia, difficulties in transferring funds to Kenya inspired his vision for making his own impact in the crypto world. He is now the founder of Afrex, which is an innovative platform for buying and selling digital assets. Despite challenges, David’s story showcases a creative spirit and the limitless possibilities at the crossroads of art and technology. ____ Join Alice as she explores the world of tech and shares impactful stories with guests on "My Tech Story."
