Byteball at the Cheetah Africa’s Launch Conference: Blockchain, FinTech, ICO, Startups

in #byteball6 years ago

Cheetah Africa was launched with a conference with focus on Fintech and Blockchain development in Africa. According to Nathaniel Luz (the Executive Director of Cheetah Africa), the organization is a non-profit entity with a mandate to be “the pool of African startups and innovations”. By also “providing them with the necessary support needed by these startups for global relevance, scalability and competitiveness”.

I was excited when I saw @lordjames’s post on Steemit about the conference. I google more about the organizers and the speakers coming to the conference. It looked solid and I mentioned this to @punqtured (Casper Niabe, Byteball’s Users Acquisition Manager). He was fascinated as well and we quickly chatted about a topic that can be presented at the event.

There were a lot of hiccups; tight schedules, little time to prepare, conference venue shift, travelling and sorts. But it was a successful execution from the Byteball team to get everything ready and sorted in less than a week. I represented Byteball and made a presentation on a topic titled BYTEBALL’S ICO PLATFORM: A CREATIVE ALTERNATIVE FOR AFRICAN STARTUPS.

We picked the topic because everyone in the cryptosphere and blockchain development understand how difficult, hard and stressful ICOs can be for startups in the industry. And Africa including Nigeria is a big market with massive startups sprouting daily and creating innovative solutions for sustainable growth and developments.

Byteball is an amazing and ready-to-use technology with many features. I became interested in the project when I found how innovative and useful Byteball’s techs can be to everyone including startups.

THE EVENT

The conference was on the 3rd of August, 2018 at the BWC Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos – Nigeria. The event was on the fifth floor, a well-furnished and adequately set venue by the organizers. I came in early to the conference and met some people for brief introduction.

The conference kicked off with a welcoming address from the founders of Cheetah Africa (Nathaniel Luz and Lucky Uwakwe). Introduction, visions and missions, future plans and roadmaps were briefly discussed by the speakers. It was a wonderful opening.

An interactive and networking session was shortly done. I got the opportunity to meet some other people from different teams and fields outside blockchain and cryptocurrency one-on-one and also introduced myself and Byteball (hello @stevedion 🤗!). It was hard explaining DAG (Directed Acyclic Graph) and how it works to many people. Blockchain was the only thing most have heard about I guess…

Then, the CEO of KuBitx exchange, Eric Anan spoke about the state and potentials of the blockchain technology for the development of Africa. ‘Gbenga Sesan from Paradigm Initiative came on too and delivered his presentation which melt everyone and actually boost the morale of everyone.

Other speakers from other bodies like Paxful, Remitano, Dash, CvMetrics, CFAcoin, Kurecoin, Webercoin, Nortonchain, Nitroneum, BlockVibranium, and other startups presented their topics and products.

BYTEBALL’S ICO PLATFORM

I made a presentation on this feature of byteball. The byteball’s ICO platform is an innovative solution that can greatly remove and/or minimize a lot of issues such as costs, bureaucratic, legal, smart contracts, development and other bottlenecks in traditional ICO platforms like Etherum.

ICO on other platforms are
•Difficult to set up
•Expensive to set up
•Time-consuming to set up
•Complicated to participate

ICO on the byteball platform can be very
• Easy to set up
• Inexpensive to set up
• Fast to set up
• Easy to participate

How can Byteball set up be so fast & cheap?
• No Smart Contracts for ICO!
• Byteball Platform already contains integrated tools
o KYC
o Accredited Investor Verification
o Exchange from BTC, ETH & Byteball-based altcoins
o Payment from fiat

The byteball ICO platform is fast, simple and extremely secured. And in less than 3 working days, your ICO can be launched on the byteball platform with just about $2,500 compared to 3-6 months and spending $45,000-$115,000 on the Etherum platform.

In summary, the ICOs on the Byteball Platform will
1. Save you money
2. Save you time
3. Are conducted in a safe & secure environment
4. Compliant
5. Are EASY to run and EASY to invest in!

Byteball makes everything easier and secured for everyone.

We believe technology should be made easier for everyone at Byteball and with constant efforts, Byteball is getting better by day.

And a big thanks to @punqtured and Luke Angell for the preparation of the entire Google slides for the presentation.

THE LUNCH BREAK

Lastly, the conference organizers treated everyone like a CEO with tasty foods and more than enough. I was seated with some fellow Steemians @ubongj and @lordjames. We chatted about Steemit, Byteball, blockchain, and life in general.

It was a wonderful experience for everyone at the Cheetah Africa’s Launch. The Speakers, the Participants, the Startups and also the organizers.

A BIG BIG thank you to the Byteball Team for making it possible.
