Hello, Yoram. How are you doing? You hear me well? Yeah. Good, good. Let's post it. Hello, Shayal.
Let's just wait for
a few more minutes for people to join, and for Sam to join as well. Sam from ZenGate. Oh,
someone came and left. Yes. Okay, sorry.
Hey Sam, let me give you speaking. Hey Sam, you should be able to speak now. Can
can you speak or or doesn't work? Hey guys, can you hear me? There we go. Yeah. Amazing.
How are you doing, Sam? I'm doing good, but just recovering from being sick. It's still still sick.
Not much improvement. Yeah. Yeah. Benji, we need. Yeah, it's recorded,
so I don't know if we can say it, but we need to find him a girlfriend. So to work on that. To Sam?
Yeah. Very important. Yeah, how was Paris? It's good. I'm in I I'm in Turkey right now for
the next week or so. Just visiting? Yeah, my uh friend my friend lives here,
so just uh figured I'd stop by before linking up with the family um in Greece in a week. Amazing.
In Istanbul? I am today. I've been in Izmir, but I've come up for the weekend just to explore what
Istanbul's like. It's amazing. I've been there like three weeks ago. I had no idea.
You can send me some places that you recommend. Definitely, I'll send you that over WhatsApp. Yeah,
but it's a beautiful country, really. Should be amazing country. It's amazing country,
not should be. Good, good. Where did you meet your friends from? Because I mean,
you you lived in Australia and Japan with someone from there, or someone from Turkey? Yeah,
someone I went to high school with in Sydney now lives in Turkey. Has been for the last five years.
My best friends. Yeah. That's cool. Cool, cool. So no, it's great to have you.
Let's see if people will join that we can share more info and Q and A's. In general,
very positive progress. You know, whenever we have the opportunity to share
more information with people, it's it's really what counts because they can understand the the team
and what we are working and how deep it is. So yeah, we'll see. I know today there is also
a great Catalan for coffee. We choose to do it at the same time with the with the team of
Channel Wallet. But yeah, let's wait to see if people will join us for more info. But overall,
I think we can provide so much info in the last period. And obviously,
we are open for DMs and any info needed to share. And that's
great. Sam, I got a call actually yesterday from Kenya already. I mean,
we are not yet operating there, but. They called me to see what we are doing.
Interested in in the in the application layer, they came with some good ideas for applications.
They asked me more not to share, but to me we are three three to six months away from that. Is it?
Is this a colleague of yours, or it's for someone that knows me? Yeah, that they reached out.
It's not a colleague. It's really someone that knows me. It's for someone that that knows what
we are doing in Kenya that reach out to us. Oh, very good. Yeah, we on our side we've just put
a proposal in with a potential um white labelling partner out of um Kenya,
that has access to coffee, um unions over there. So we we may end up actually doing some stuff in
the next um month or so out of Kenya. It's a bit of a different model
because it would be licensing out the technology to someone that has access to the to the unions.
So they'll be using it in the exact same way we've been doing it with the cooperatives out
in Nigeria and and Zambia, but. Yeah, should should be interesting. We might end up
being operational there. Okay, amazing. So I mean, let's let's coordinate that offline a little bit,
and then we I will share with you more information. Not everything there can go public.
They asked me not to show it publicly, but we can share it one on one. Yeah,
and we have Shai here with us. Hey, Shai. Yeah. Hey, Alex. Yeah. Hi there. Hey, Sam.
How are you doing? Ah, very good, mate. Thank you very much. He doesn't want to come
and visit us in Geneva, shy. He's he's absolutely right. There's nothing to do here.
It's just steaming hot. I'm kidding. Where are you right now on the planet, Sam? I'm in Turkey for
the next week or so. Okay, cool. Well, listen, if you do if you do end up in Europe,
you should come. We'll we'll have some good fun here. Yeah. Yeah, that that was the plan
at one point, but then yeah, things got a bit. I had to go to the UK for some stuff
and and then fly over here. So it's yeah, timing hasn't worked out just yet,
but I'll keep my schedule open. Yeah. Cool, cool. Cool, cool. Good. So,
that's a good question. I got how many is are online now? 22, 000. So it's. I think we are around.
How many agri entrepreneurs are alive now? I think over 300. Are shy? 300. Around 300.
And then we are going to scale up. Yeah, for its own. Something like that. Yeah.
Just with this question. So where do you see the questions, by the way? No,
there's a question I get directly on this call from someone. Okay, all right, cool.
Here we we don't have the question. It's really, I mean, for now, again, yesterday, yeah,
you were there yesterday. Well, there were more people today. Taking it easy,
but providing a lot of info one on one to the reps, answering questions. We have good momentum.
Let's try to keep it going to the final moment. Yeah, we have excellent momentum.
It's really great to see so much support. And I think the the thing for us, really,
I don't know if everyone is listening, even if they're listening after,
is the the key is to provide as much information as possible. And we we always
and get the hard questions and answer them. I think that's we we see you know this process
with Depp. If it's done seriously, they they understand the potential of the proposal.
And we really want to have the opportunity to provide as much information as possible to anyone
that have questions or concerns. Good guys, we'll wait
a few more minutes if you know someone joins otherwise. Maybe we join the Catalan for coffee one.
Very good.
Shai, we might need to support another great project that is applying to the Treasury.
They might have something for us. Just about the process that we went through. So my idea. Yeah,
let's. Hopefully, we can support them as successful people, right? Yeah, no,
I mean not only on the voting process, but also I mean on the application. No, no, I know, I know,
I know. No, no problem. We'll put in a on-chain proposal shortly. So maybe we can jump in a call
with them. Let's see if people don't join in a few minutes, and you have some time.
Let Let's jump in a call. Sure, sure. I'm I'm wrapping up a weekly report here on my side. Yeah.
Yeah, we need ten, fifteen minutes from you. Yeah. Good guys. Yeah, I think we we don't need to
just wait here, right? I mean, if please anyone that listened and didn't come and have questions,
just DM us directly. Follow El, follow myself, Sam Mushai, and just DM us directly.
Ask any questions. Happy to answer them. And yeah, I think I don't know B.
If you want to stay a little bit more, we call it. We provided a lot of session over
the last two weeks, so yeah, I can stay for a little, but yeah, people can can watch the listen
to the recording, anyways. And if if anyone has any question, please send us a message.
We can we might also set another session by the beginning of next week. So yeah, that's a good idea.
Let's do another one on Monday. Let's make sure it's not on Karan for coffee,
and we can even have on Monday kind of an open open times where a few hours where people can join in
and ask questions. Yeah, sounds good. Perfect. Okay. Thank you, guys. Okay. Thank you, Sam.
Looking forward to seeing you here in Europe, Sam. No, we'll do. See you, mate. All right. You. Bye.
