Countries are hoarding gold Central banks are diversifying out of USD But nobody is hoarding copper. Even though copper is the metal that will power the entire next era: AI datacenters Electric vehicles Renewable energy Power grids Communication networks Robotics

@elonmusk @magattew Sharp observation

@magattew Exactly. The West should stop treating Africa like it desperately needs their help. This is patronizing nonsense. Frankly, my observation is that the average happiness in a village in Africa is higher than the average happiness in Beverly Hills!

The aid industry raises money by showing the world images of African children with flies in their eyes and swollen bellies.  That money is supposed to help us. But those images do something else too. They plant a belief.  One of my employees, Yahara, told me she grew up thinking Africans were inferior because every magazine showed people like her looking pathetic while the world "saved" them. Aid didn't just fail to fix poverty. It taught an entire generation of Africans to feel small.

@mrstephendeng You should also look at manufacturing. Africa richest man is a manufacturer. Want to DM you

African tech is evolving. My last 5 deals: * semiconductors * robotics * vertical AI * stablecoin xborder * tradfi fintech

@MartinGTobias I'll love to invite you on a journey. Crazy and bold one

Pre-seed investors don't get enough credit. They write the first check when everyone else says no. When the idea sounds crazy. When there's nothing but a sketch and a story. Respect to those who bet on zero.

@seeksahib The future of mining. Urban mining

Pitch me what you're building in one sentence. (i will give a shout out to the best one)

@Taryl_Ogle AFC

There are two types of African founders. One says: "The ecosystem is not ready. Investors don't back African startups. The odds are against us." The other says: "The ecosystem is being built. I am part of that story. My traction speaks before I do." Same continent. Same challenges. Completely different outcomes. The first batch of pitch decks from the African Founders Community have been reviewed. Most of those founders have already booked and completed their introductory calls with the team at BTF, which is currently deploying a £50 million fund into high-growth African tech startups. Not because the world changed overnight. Because they showed up, they had traction, and they were in the right room. If you are an African founder with early traction (or users) and you are looking to raise, comment "AFC" and we @DanThaKaya @DistinctLee will send you our community link.

@pmitu Sure check DM

@MarvelousOdufu noooooooooooo please

Sell me your startup

@pmitu Can I slide to your DM with our pitch deck?

@MarvelousOdufu wait what?

@FinPlanKaluAja1 Professor jiang is using game theory and people think the US would lose this war. I think they are wrong. People focus more on the media narrative than the reality of thing. I think the reality of things is superior to game theory in my opinion

The US has underwater drones hunting mines in the Strait of Hormuz, has uncrewed surfacre ships on the water and drones in the air. The US has developed the ability to project war without risking its soldiers The US troops killed have been in theatre, but not in direct kinetic action in Kuwait and Iraq American military power has been restrained because the American public does not like US soldiers returning from a distant war in body bags Imagine what future presidents will do knowing that they can project Air, Sea, Land and below the surface military assets without the loss of life As I have said earlier, there is no way the US ends this without the Strait being open for commerce

@DeltaClimbs I wonder why a lot of parents don't name their kids Napoleon no more. The Napoleons I have read about are actually great. Currently reading think and grow rich by Napoleon Hill and it's an amazing book. Mr Dirac I dmed you sir👑

@eezharhh 5 million in profit monthly from crushing per bottle is wild. Imagine how many tons he would have to handle

So this guy is earning ₦800k monthly in Lagos. He lives comfortably and drives a small car. His friend is a wastepreneur recycling plastic bottles into flakes for manufacturing and he’s making about ₦5M profit monthly. The friend offers him a partnership, leave your AC office and come join me, I’ll triple your income. But he refuses because he feels the business is dirty and doesn’t want his reputation or class to drop. I told him to join since the money is better, but he still said no.

You never forget the investor who puts the very first check in. Name your first born after him. No excuses.

@chamath @BillyM2k Same here. I'd love to talk about copper Mr chamath

what was the best decision of your life?
