Introduction

Hi, my name is Japhet Kapambwe Mesa, a Zambian youth aged 33 as at January 2018. I started this blog upon realization that there was little 'local' information about cryptocurrency. While the rest of the world is abuzz with digital money, as a country we seem to lagging behind as things unfold. Unfortunately, the 'crypto buzz' has come with so much information overload. Additionally, the information maybe a little too technical for one who simply wants to invest in cryptocurrency without knowing the underlying issues. On this blog I will try as much as possible to make it easy for a layman such as I am to understand and gain enough knowledge to trade confidently.

As a starting point, it is important for us to maintain and grow a glossary of words. Words such as cryptocurrency, blockchain, exchange, mining, lending and many more will be added as we progress.

I now invite you to join me on my journey into the cryptocurrency world.

Love, peace and harmony.

BitClub Network (BCN): An investment black hole

By Japhet Kapambwe Mesa I have been interested to learn more about BitClub Network (BCN) ever since I started seeing the endless posts on Facebook. The adverts promise daily earnings in Bitcoin and a number of other altcoins. So I was excited when I heard about a meeting that was going to be held in Lusaka. I made my way to the venue of the meeting in Avondale where I arrived one hour late but fortunately the starting time had been pushed by an hour so that more latecomers like me did not miss the event. I must say, the event was well attended. Speaking from personal experience of organizing similar events. I counted roughly 80 people in attendance. I was impressed. The guest speaker, a ‘master builder’ (according to the rank structure of BCN), from South Africa, took us through a well-prepared presentation. I agreed pretty much with a lot of what he had to say about Bitcoin. I could tell he was well researched on the topic. However, the issues came in when he s...

Escrow Services
