World coin craze

In another feel-good story, Kenyans recently shared an epic barrage of side-splitting memes aimed at the thousands who eagerly signed up for the latest crypto craze, Worldcoin.

Kenyans on Twitter shared hilarious memes taking a dig at thousands of compatriots who signed up for free crypto tokens worth KSh 7,000.

As the token's hype reached a fever pitch, social media platforms were flooded with a glorious assortment of rib-tickling GIFs, images, and witty captions poking fun at the crypto enthusiasts.

To sign up for Worldcoin, thousands of Kenyans scanned their irises using special devices called Orbs1.

However, some netizens ridiculed the idea of exchanging their biometric data for a few coins.

They comically noted that those who signed up for the free tokens would go blind.

"Zikizimwa nitafute nikuzungushange tao," (If you lose your eyesight look for me, I will be your guide in town), quipped a Twitter user.

Concerns were also raised about the security and privacy of Worldcoin, with users questioning how the project would safeguard their personal data from hackers and governments.

TUKO.co.ke compiled hilarious memes shared online.

1. Crypto craze in Kenya Worldcoin has reached millions of subscribers in the rush to earn 1WLD weekly token.

"Worldcoin is giving away a further 25WLD every week in what they are calling a Worldcoin Grant. Which means Kenyans can cash in KSh 7,000 every week," read part of a tweet thread on Worldcoin.

2. What is Worldcoin?

Worldcoin is a cryptocurrency initiative with the mission of creating a globally-inclusive identity and financial network, owned by the majority of humanity.

The identity is achieved by scanning iris biometrics (eyeballs) for personal data that prove personhood globally.

3. Converting Worldcoin tokens to KSh

On Wednesday, August 2, thousands of Kenyans who had signed up after the crypto craze took over had not been able to convert their free tokens.

A majority did not know how to convert the coins to Kenya shilling, a move that prompted cryptocurrency traders in the country to take advantage.

4. Why Kenyan government suspended Worldcoin

Interior Cabinet Secretary (CS) Kithure Kindiki said investigations are ongoing to ascertain the authenticity of the entity.

Kindiki, in a statement, noted that relevant investigative agencies were investigating the operations to ascertain how the data collected would be used.

5. Worldcoin pauses operations in Kenya

Alex Blania, Worldcoin CEO, revealed that the entity was engaging relevant authorities in the country and hopes to resume operations after suspension.

"Tools for Humanity (TFH) has paused World ID verifications in Kenya as we continue to work with local regulators to address their questions. We apologize to everyone in Kenya for the delay. We look forward to resuming operations while continuing global rollout," said Blania.
