I had an interesting conversation with @__HeardEmSay at Osumo's the other day about @DreyianDollar. And i think i should write up some on it here;
We both had ate fish (he was having his) at ksh 400 each.
He had said before he'd like us to meet so when we bumped to each other --
we just hit it off with the topic.
1. Explain ii kitu kama unambia mtoto (He has a background in Finance.)

Basically, ni appreciation token yenye inaallow business kuappreciate loyal customers. So hawa customers wanaeza earn continuosly as they support this business .....
wanaearn tokens redeemable. Simple, vile tu you get bonga points when you spend on Safaricom but built on the same technology as Bitcoin.

2. So ni same kama Bitcoin?
Tech ni same, but sijaimake tradable. That would mean i subject it to the laws of demand and supply....
which itaniput in a bad situation na government. Basically sai iko stable in that ni 1 KOT for every ksh 10 spent. Then biz inaset its own redemption rate.

3. Oh!! Naget sasa, na So value yake ni?
Inaget value the moment umeredeem in that, ii fish ya 4 soo tumekula ukiearn ---
the moment you read it gains value. Just like Kenyan shillings ni karatasi tu until ubuy kitu nayo. So if umekula fish apa over time and points zako 800 KOT aredeem at ksh 0.5 means uko na ksh 400 unaget fish but utakuwa umekam over and over.
4. But haitachoma biz, sio customer pekee anabenefit?
Zii, kitu inado ni kumaintain loyalty ya customer so if customer anaredeem 800 KOT ni kumean amekula 20 times which is 40x value to the business over time.
5. Oh sasa naelewa, but in the end inaeza tumika kama currency kama ii kitu ya Bitcoin.

Rahisi sana but lazima with enough merchants and a clitical mass na tumeamini inahold value inaeza. Basically ata kenya shilling huwa unafeel confortable ukiwa na io karatasi kwa mfuko --
because you believe its worth this much. So io exchange ya osumo na customer inapea izo tokens reason ya kuexist which is the value it holds.

6. Benefit zake kwa biz ni?
Business inaget to appreciate back a loyal customer na loyal customer anareap benefits za kusupport biz.
So both sides zinagain.

7. Umetouch apo kwa bitcoin and i've always wondered how it works, ebu explain?
Vile tu ii token inaeza get value and we all believe it holds some value, ndio kenya shillings iko na ndio bitcoin iko. Ni faith tu but difference ni Bitcoin haiko controlled
-- unlike kenya shillings, ni pesa yetu na kila kitu inahappen sisi watu tunaapprove na tunajua. So pia ile community itabelieve in this token then wataipee value na wataicontrol.
Ni kutu unatuma.instantly bila transaction fee, so unaeza ata substitute mpesa yako nayo
*i went back to this thread*
But inaeza tu jiprove kama currency when Osumo can pay his logistics and for his fish with it. That way, msee wa fish ako na faith that the amount i'm getting has value and im willing to assign the fish i'll deliver this value https://twitter.com/oaksupreme_/status/1299333071431495681?s=20
7. Now i see, so wewe unatarget kuna time inaeza kuwa currency?
Eeeh, io ingekuwa fast but it'll take a while, reason is to make it blow up fast i had to collect an equivalent amount from all of you to back it.

It was a risky move. https://twitter.com/oaksupreme_/status/1299318342499684352?s=20
