yeah, in his case, he's doing something akin almost to insider trading.
although I'm sure growing up with the poverty of Zimbabwe,m it will reshape a person's mind., survive at all costs.
Actually if you read the book, everyone in Zimbabwe pretty much was desperately scrambling to get their Zim dollars into something else - anything else, at all. So I'm not sure that it could be described as insider trading.
So it's a tricky situation, ethically. And he definitely had his doubts about it.
I think I'll write up a post about the book. It's super interesting, especially to bitcoin/econ history nerds
