Takeaways Bitcoin is seen as a store of value by many financial analysts, including Rufas Kamau. Bitcoin has outperformed other asset classes over time and is considered a long-term store of value. African countries, like Kenya, are starting to recognize Bitcoin as a better store of value compared to traditional assets like land or real estate. Bitcoin has the potential to become a reserve currency in the future, but the transition may take time and depend on various factors. Bitcoin can provide solutions for cross-border transactions in countries with high demand for the US dollar. Timing the market is not as important as consistently buying Bitcoin over time. Kenya's financial market offers high yields, but these yields are a result of increased money supply and inflation. Bitcoin's value proposition lies in its limited supply and the need for work to acquire it, making it a store of value over time. Scams are prevalent in Africa due to weak regulatory frameworks and lack of financial literacy. Education is crucial in combating scams and promoting financial literacy. Reducing distractions and focusing on one task at a time can improve productivity. Rufas is passionate about chess and plans to build a Bitcoin hub in Kenya.
