I have been thinking. The death of Wazua has coincided with the bear market. However, you already know that. Equity shares have rallied from the 30s to 50s and that still hasn't managed to create a buzz here. I have a different theory.
Wazua died because of the rise of crypto markets. Members exited the NSE (so they did not need Wazua anymore), and joined forums that focused on crypto where all the fun was/is.
Wazua did not evolve with the times. Crypto has sucked traffic from wazua and sucked capital from the NSE.
Kenya was once ranked as a bitcoin maximalist nation where an estimated 8.5% of the population own crypto. All that capital hidden in crypto would be in the NSE today.
