In this video‑essay episode, Miss Purple dives into the new punk rockers of our time: the cypherpunks, the solarpunks, and the Afrofuturists. She uses them as starting points to sketch a future where privacy, symbiotic building, climate justice, and Afro/Global Majority speculative imagination all collide. She touches on how it is all a culmination of ordinary people standing at the edge of it all, refusing to accept the world as it is. This episode asks what it would mean if we treated that edge not as a danger zone, but as the place where we finally build something better for all of us.

• Why does privacy matter? Not just for “hackers,” but for anyone who wants dignity, safety, and room to dream?

• Why, with all our technology and imagination, are we still not changing the world at the scale we could?

• Why do we hesitate to see ourselves as the heroes of this story, even as everything pushes us toward the edge?

• Do we have permission to demand more from our tech, our communities, and our future, or are we doomed to perpetually seek permission to exist and use these tools?

If this episode resonates with you at any point, follow the Purple Pages Podcast on Jamit, Spotify & Apple Podcasts, share it with someone who loves speculative futures, and the philosophy of living on the edge of the frontier.

Where in your own life can you be a bit more Cypherpunk, a Solarpunk, or an Afrofuturist?

A video essay on the Global Majority, the African crypto space, Lisk's EMpower fund, and why any of it even matters.

My premise is, what if we’re all looking in the wrong places? What if the next tech revolution is being built exactly where its needed?

From the perspective of an African community curator and storyteller, this is why I think...nay, why I KNOW, that “betting on the Global Majority makes sense.”

If you listened to or watched the full essay and have an opinion to share, please do, but keep it cute!

Thanx maniacs!

Some notable mentions to some real ones:

• LiskHQ x Lisk Africa for standing 10 toes down on the GM

  • Web3Lagos for 6 years of heart work

  • Borderless Africa for the curation of a community of the core magma, the undercurrent

  • ETHAccra for creating space for one to reinvent

  • ETHSafari for having my heart, and likely changing my life lol

  • Azza for holding me down through that big ahh trip

  • And to the Pagoda Asia community for curating the GM day at Devcon last year in Thailand, you started a fire that is impossible to put out!

🇫🇷 On confond souvent Web3 et blockchain. Pourtant, ce n’est pas la même chose.

Dans cet épisode, Fady explique simplement :

– la blockchain comme infrastructure

– le Web3 comme l’univers d’applications construites dessus (wallets, NFTs, DAOs…)

– pourquoi ça change la confiance, la transparence et la souveraineté individuelle

Avec des exemples concrets d’Ethereum et de ses blocs, pour mieux comprendre la différence.

🎧 Prochain sujet : Bitcoin, Ethereum, L1 et L2… et pourquoi Ethereum est au centre du jeu.

🇬🇧 People often mix up Web3 and blockchain. But they’re not the same.

In this episode, Fady breaks it down:

– blockchain as the infrastructure

– Web3 as the apps built on top (wallets, NFTs, DAOs…)

– why this matters for trust, transparency, and individual control

With real examples from Ethereum and how blocks actually work.

🎧 Next up: Bitcoin, Ethereum, L1 and L2…and why Ethereum is at the center of it all.
