m
I arrived at the end of my studies
I had internal we know the studies of
right I want to take off and
going far away
all were more or less to pass
correctly until then we had a
very very great law professor who
was our master at all m because he
simplify everything and everything
complex of law and it was a man
excessively benevolent and he
teaches and Africa and we wanted was the
join and we left with a group
Senegalese students were expected
absolutely nothing we were young
innocent and it’s true that we do not have
really disappointed
we arrived the first day on the island
from gorea
it’s the island of slaves and on the
canoe our guide that applies
babacar we see a little bit stressed
we were stressed because there was
the connection and an evening party phone
and are waiting for us and you have a
shows one where one has time a joke
but it made me think a little bit
we continued the journey we went
give books to a children’s school
deaf children came to play
rugby with the kids and we gave them
brought food and they gave us
learned sign language
it is an extremely strong moment and
it is true that the children who had
between 8 and 15 years old were all over or
less happy it was all 30 km to
is 30 km back to school
good and that day the director because
that he was arrested on the subject
said but they do not confuse the verb
to be and the verb to me
and then we were received by our students
the students who were our counterparts
who did the same master as us but
in dakar
and again we were not disappointed ah they
received us in three piece suit
do not hesitate to cut disaster and we
was almost disturbed because I
really think we were not at the
height that day and they took us
to individually and collectively and
are recalled systematically in order to
the conversations were but cédric on
is systematically very strong it
often repeated we are together and then
those fifteen days it was really a
enchanted parenthesis in my life
allowed to put back a little bit the
values ​​where it should be
and I went back to France I ran
after the time like all of you and the
time is about tonight leads life
hard that like us who want the
kill I will continue my studies and I
became a lawyer
no vocation good press, it seems
it depends it’s a profession that’s me
dear because not only is this the
mine but it fell on me with
with much evidence this violence
did I want to do it was
accompany the falls and
climbs and that day we did a
meal with two African friends
the day of swearing two
friends that I know is that they do not get
did not know michel top level at
nothing and issifou that a Togolese and all
three were sworn and
finally we exchanged we did
a small aperitif
after a performance cernon and I
wanted because i’m not africa
know what they thought of theirs
country of their continent – he had me
marked and both they had some
quite different answers
michel is the pessimist michelle he
was a little ashamed what’s going on
in Africa today and tell me
semes 10 and we can do nothing
Africa is the corruption of the elites
it’s the informal sector and it’s safe
develop people does not declare anything there
there are really a lot of problems
young people can not manage
precisely because the states often
I would say often have
corruptions and intermediaries are
excessively complicated to manage
the administrative and gravity
terrible and tells me I see the future of
way dark enough he was saying things
pretty much enough after all and I was not
not completely agree with him and
then derogy so crazy what is your opinion
immediate
so I do not quite want
okay I ‘m completely crazy
of my continent say we have this link this
respect for the hierarchy respect for
old totems that will be approached
mdi it is true that with us there is a
feeling of fraternity very strong we have
tend to trust a little bit
little bit quickly and that’s true it’s me
say these are also values ​​that I do not
not always find europe and
said michel you should not be ashamed of
continent you’ll see we’ll get by and
we are together we do not worry and
then right path doing our paths
are a little bit separated I lent
oath
I became defended at the beginning of
criminals and then little by little my
exercise has evolved a little I defended
companies that were often linked
with the technologies I associated myself
in the cabinet I led a
department called new
technology block blocks a shell block
so at the beginning
at first it’s a customer who invited me
to create this pole the jetty on it’s the
future is what block it is simple
it records a decentralized register
distributed that works with the
asymmetric cryptographic
I did not understand one of the words
who qualified the notion of blockage and
finally sir you’ll see it’s
quite simple from the acute register of
Centers eyes as the lap times ago
miners from the north but you soon after
one of the applications was the
bitcoin but bitcoin caused a sensation
it’s a software application
overall that the blockages were going
block chain allows a lot of things
it allows to transfer an idea of
store assets and information
whatever it is I always arrive
not completely understand this
what was technology and what is
are some of you
know how to block it
is it a hole have already
heard more or less if you are asked
to explain being a little complicated dinners
in town it’s not because easier
and good my understanding a little evolved at
according to my readings and
a few customers that have come to
me first is a young doctor
polytechnician valves or two years but
that to his brilliants and tells me m I have a
software that can trace the
medicines and prevent them from being
corrupt
I explain it tells me more than seven
out of ten drugs in Africa are
fake drugs
seven drugs out of ten new toilets
official study of the om is he tells me
to call I saw from my eyes seen united from
lamoura in some some
medications and he tells me that it’s got me
traumatized and so I want with a
software scans a drug that is not
not fake little green guy
drug that is counterfeit small
fantastic red guy I tell him
what’s it like how does your thing
blu technology that was starting to become
interesting then other client did not have
in the meantime obviously fortunately for
we other customers and second client
he says – I have the solution for
eradicate election fraud
it’s very simple you put in
place an all party protocol
agree on the protocol everything is
trace
everything is written in a big register
and he can not have fraud
election
more fraud more fraud more
pappas more paperwork over
protest of the balloon everything is written
on the register the register what is it
the next to be less magical but
actually it had a purpose
third client this time a ngo
lorenzi tell me m you know how much
costs fraud corruption in africa
never really interested in
figures arithmetic and body my
pleasure as my great master said
does not count mdi 142 billion 140 of
sight and tell me you know how much there is
ades in africa
if not a 10 years 48 billion so he me
says every time we invest a euro
basically a few things close the same
euro dissolves in favor of the
corruption and tells me I have a
fairly accurate solution that allows for
unlock the funds
once we are sure that the
project is advanced it allows to trace
funds and to prevent there being
intermediaries that captures the flows it me
said I saw but I remembered
from this experience
associations get worried
truly at the entrance of the villages
so what would she help the
populations I found that
particularly scandalous says no but
we can manage to manage that enough
quite easily besides that one
to send money and unlock it
automatically through a
Smart contract with smart
contract me I knew a little
little whaou concept
and that that’s blocking it
interesting and the duration and since then
can almost more than that we accompany
customers in the transformation and
did a meal with michel and issifou
and I talked to them this time I
taken a little bit apart in the genres
explain all this and we agreed
together that good a banal talk but that
one of the problems in Africa is
actually trust and that if we
was able to solve this problem gave
not only in Africa but
also to the whole world to invest
to implement better companies
educate people
Well, we would really get to
to make this continent
an absolute marvel because we
would keep the values ​​and we would improve
finally this crisis of confidence
current and there is no today a
technology
better than the chain blocks for
revolutionize precisely this crisis of
trust
we shared this finding pessimism
was a little less optimistic he was
obviously a little worried about
ecological consequences of the protocols
because we have to talk about it
a real problem
we think the technology will evolve
that’s what blocking it is that it allows
to settle this crisis of confidence and
it is true that and it is true that it is
so wonderful and the future
can happen in my opinion faster than
expected and that we often overestimate the
speed at which things go where
are going to things that one overestimates but in
underestimating revenge the impact long
term of this technology this
revolution
often silent because we are
do not necessarily realize that’s about that
which I’m going to talk to you tonight the
trust now right away for
Africa and for a long time
thank you water
