Richard Opani from Kenya created a goat farm using donations in cryptocurrency. It all started with the Worldcoin airdrop, of which Opani became a participant. With the coins he received, he bought a goat, which he named Sam – in honor of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman.
Opani spoke about his acquisition on X, which attracted the attention of some users. Community members began sending him funds to buy more goats.
For example, the co-founder of the PoolTogether project, Leighton Cusack, gave Opani $100, with which he bought two goats. One received the nickname Base – in honor of the L2 blockchain based on Ethereum. He named the second animal Higher, drawing a parallel with the desire for further growth of the cryptocurrency market.
CoinCenter communications director Neeraj Agrawal asked to buy the animal and name it after his friend, Castle Island Ventures general partner Nick Carter. Carter also took part in the development of the farm: the businessman sent $100 to buy a goat, which should be named Wolfram – in honor of a meme from the world of virtual coins.
Aztec Network's former head of ecosystems, known as Brunny, also donated $50 to Opani. He asked him to buy a baby goat and name him Boaty McBoatFace.
Thanks to his goat idea, Richard Opani received about $1,120 in various cryptocurrencies and continues to develop his farm.
Earlier, the American cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase announced the expansion of its services in Africa through a partnership with the leading stablecoin exchange in the region, Yellow Card.
