As someone who has spent 8+ years in crypto, educating thousands of Africans on blockchain, Web3, and their impact beyond finance across careers, supply chains, and governance this is deeply concerning.
Ghana legalises virtual assets, then threatens 10-year jail terms for talking about or promoting the same industry without a licence, yet provides no clarity on how such licences are acquired or what the requirements are.
This feels like the 1990s argument that talking about the internet should be criminalised because it could expose people to scams and bad actors beyond jurisdictional control.
That’s one step forward, two steps backward.
The current President of Ghana, John Dramani Mahama, earned strong support from the tech and innovation community. He has spoken openly about blockchain, including at UNGA 2025, and even floated its use in land registry systems.
So it’s confusing to legalise the technology, yet criminalise educators, advocates, and communicators in the same space.
This may be an oversight, but we urgently need clarity.
Innovators need to know whether to build here or move to ecosystems where innovation is clearly understood and supported. @CZ
As part of Ghana's new crypto regulations, there is provision suggesting that individuals who speak about or teach crypto without a license could face arrest. While it is encouraging to see Ghana take a bold step toward legalizing and regulating crypto trading, broadly restricting public discussion of crypto raises serious concerns.
Open conversation and education around emerging technologies are essential to innovation, freedom of expression, and youth participation in the digital economy. While licensing professionals who offer financial advice in this space is both necessary and welcome, preventing people from simply advocating for or discussing blockchain technology
risks slowing adoption rather than supporting it.
Those who deliberately promote scam projects or defraud communities should absolutely be held accountable by law. However, general crypto advocacy and education should not be criminalized, as they are key to building a healthy, informed, and innovative crypto ecosystem.
Love this impact @CZ made to the world. it really motivate some of us.

The story of Changpeng Zhao (CZ) is a powerful lesson for those who think they are "too late" to start something.
⏳ Uncle CZ's life story
- Young man worked at McDonald's and gas stations to support his family in Canada
- 39 years old, just made his first $1 million in life (in 2016)
- 40 years old, founded Binance (in 2017) by selling his house and investing in Bitcoin
- 41 years old, became the world's richest person in just 180 days after launching Binance
- 48 years old, in 2026, despite his prison and legal troubles, he is still one of the richest people in the world (ranked 21st in the world according to Forbes) with a fortune of approximately $60 - $80 Billion
1. Start slowly but fast: Many people think that if you are not successful in your 20s or 30s, it means you have failed. CZ shows that preparation and decades of experience in the financial technology industry are the foundation for a “breakout” at 40.
2. Resilience: From McDonald’s fried chicken kid to crypto billionaire to prison and back with a new project (Giggle Academy). He shows that “success is not the end, and failure is not the end of life.”
3. Long-term vision: He once said that he doesn’t care about how rich he is, he cares about the “impact” he can make on the world.
“You’re never too old to start.” If you feel like 2025 wasn’t a good year or you’re starting something new in 2026, remember that CZ just started Binance at the age of 40.
