9 months ago, me and my co-founder @freeguy__ started Bread Africa with a simple idea: Make crypto → fiat as easy as sending a text. No KYC. No sign-ups. No friction. Just swap and go. People said it wouldn’t work. Too early. Too risky. Too unconventional. We built it anyway. People used it. They shared it. They trusted it. That was all the validation we needed. Today, that journey hits a major milestone: Bread Africa has been fully acquired by @sirmapy of @smcdao and is now evolving into @SwapwithBread. This wasn’t just an exit. It was a strategic move. One that gives us the freedom to go all in on something much bigger. Because while building Bread, we realized something: Moving money isn’t just broken. the entire financial experience is. So we started again. Quietly. Relentlessly. Obsessed. Today, I’m excited to share: @BankwithLoaf is LIVE - and we’ve already onboarded our first 1,000 users. No noise. Just execution. Same philosophy. Bigger vision. We’re building for: • Borderless payments • Stablecoin-native banking • Seamless global transactions Not just for crypto natives - but for everyone. Because the future of money won’t feel like “crypto.” It will just work. Massive thanks to @Sir_Damilare, @jessepollak of @base, @Uyoyo_O of @cngn_co @Harri_obi of @SuperteamNG and everyone who believed in Bread Africa from day one. You didn’t just support a product - you helped start something real. And we’re just getting started. If you’re building, investing, or thinking about the future of money in Africa. Let’s talk, This is still Day Zero from our end.

A quick question: Would you prefer to earn $10k monthly while your ex earns $5k monthly or would you rather earn $20k monthly and your ex earns $40k?

Some days you survive, not shine - and that still counts.

This incident that happened yesterday made me realize that a lot of people using @BankwithLoaf knows my handle and they have my personal WhatsApp contact, but the most beautiful thing was they weren't calling or texting to yell, they were reaching out to know what went wrong.

Yesterday, @BankwithLoaf had an issue that kept the app from opening for a few hours. As a Loafer, I know how frustrating that can be, and I’m genuinely sorry. Thank you to everyone who reached out. We’re back. ❤️ Go ahead and spend your crypto globally. 🌍

Hello @jefielding, I'd love to send you a message, what's the most convenient method to reach you?

Most founders I know are solving money problems inside the same bubble - I want out. I’m looking to talk to founders in LATAM, SEA, MENA, Eastern Europe markets. What are you building, we can compare notes and learn from each other. Reply with your startup + region.

Queen is a very intelligent trader @thissdax, @promisenakpan you might want to take a look, she comes highly recommended.

For a while now, I have lost my touch with work. Life, in general, has been overwhelming, and I have been slow with work because the work I put in doesn't always equate to the results I want to see. I couldn't quit, but I could slow down a bit. Not pause completely, but not be all the way there either. I just needed to still be in motion. However slow, I needed to keep moving. So, I tried to sort out a couple of things that I thought might help. I saw movies. I hung out with anyone that was available. I went on long road trips. I went clubbing. I drank. I did things I normally wouldn't do. I watched a lot of documentaries. I even prayed, cleansed myself, and tried almost everything I could think of. But somehow, I was still missing something. I was still waiting to get my spark back. Then recently, I watched a documentary called A Beautiful Obsession - a story about Pep Guardiola and Manchester City. For reasons I don't fully understand yet, that documentary did something to me. It reminded me of what it feels like to be obsessed with something. To care deeply about the process. To keep showing up even when the results don't immediately make sense. To believe so much in what you're building that the work itself becomes part of who you are. And for the first time in a long while, I felt something again. A spark. I don't know if I'm completely back yet. I don't even know if I have figured everything out. But I know I'm moving again. And maybe that's all I need for now. Not to have everything figured out. Not to move at full speed. Not to force myself to become who I was overnight. Just to keep moving. However slow. I think the spark will find me along the way.

When life hands you a failure, don't fold, Let your aura be so undeniable that they have no choice than to respect the bounce back.

May the bridges we build, connect us forever.

Long-term thinking is a superpower only few posess.

This is something I’ve come to understand deeply as a founder: you can have the vision, but you need the right people to bring it to life. Looking back at everything I’ve built so far, I can’t honestly say, "I did this." I had great people around me who believed in what we were building, challenged me, carried the load when things got hard, and gave their best even when the outcome wasn’t guaranteed. A great team will take an idea in your head and turn it into something real. I’m grateful for every person who has built with me. Whatever I build next, I know one thing for sure - I’m only as good as the people I build with.
