Jerry Bogonko: JBO Breaks Down Bitcoin at $400, Scams, and the Truth About Crypto in Kenya

What if you got into Bitcoin when it was just $400… and still lost money? In this episode, we sit down with Jerry Bogonko (JBO) — a crypto entrepreneur, trader and DeFi enthusiast — to unpack the real, unfiltered truth about crypto in Kenya and beyond. From getting started right after high school in 2016, investing with his family and losing money in a collapsed mining company, to catching early altcoin gains and navigating today’s institutional-driven market — this conversation goes deep. We break down the biggest misconceptions about crypto legality in Kenya, why regulation always comes after people start making money, how scams continue to thrive and what beginners should actually do if they’re starting with as little as $100. Jerry also shares insights on Bitcoin Halving cycles, DCA strategies, wallet safety, exchange limitations and whether you should hold or take profits in this current market. This is not your typical “crypto hype” conversation — it’s a grounded, experience-backed perspective that challenges what most people think they know about digital assets. ⚠️ If you’re in crypto (or thinking about it), this episode might change how you move. 🎥 Watch the FULL video episode on YouTube for the complete breakdown and visuals: https://www.youtube.com/@thekisscapadespodcast ⸻ Topics covered: • Starting crypto in 2016 (Bitcoin at $400) • Crypto scams & red flags • Is crypto illegal in Kenya? • Government regulation vs reality • DCA strategy & beginner investing • Bitcoin Halving explained • BTC, ETH & altcoin insights • Crypto vs traditional banking • Safaricom & crypto speculation • Wallet safety & exchange limits ⸻ #TheKisscapadesPodcast #JerryBogonko #CryptoKenya #BitcoinKenya #CryptoEducation #DigitalAssets #FinancePodcast #DeFi #BlockchainAfrica
