Savannah Evans, founder of Gucoin, emphasizes the urgent need for a decentralized financial system and altcoins created by and for the Black community. She highlights the ongoing wealth gap and systemic inequities, arguing that current cryptocurrencies often serve established interests rather than marginalized groups. Gucoin and its Layer 2 solution, Guap X, aim to empower Black businesses and communities by enabling them to raise capital and build wealth through blockchain technology. Evans stresses that blockchain is more than technology—it’s about fostering strong, unified communities. She envisions altcoins as critical tools for economic empowerment and collective progress within the global Black diaspora.
