(Sorry - I  should probably listen before running my mouth off). 

Real vs scam is an interesting point for Bitcoiners… and one I struggle with. And of course we should be looking for continual verification rather than trusting these projects.

But then I give $5 to the homeless guy at the bus station and I don’t follow up on that… interesting thoughts

That was his main point. Our sats can go a long way in Africa. It wouldn't take many to fund projects. The issue of course, is to separate the real from the scam.

I haven’t listened to it but as a general point… one of the legacies of colonialism is that the tools of administration put in by colonial powers are now co-opted by authoritarian rulers to exploit people a second time. We need to get financial products into the hands of local people to local projects and a $1 worth of our sats in their hands will do more good than $1 of world bank debt in the hands of their government.
