Trying to send money to America with Ecobank Ghana via SWIFT. They first charged $45, then another $25 security or risk fee as they call it. I abandoned the transaction. $70 for one transaction??? Fintechs are going to kill off all these African banks.

Saw a talk this week on the trippiest thing: bacterial cultures on skin induce immune responses. At Michael Fischbach's lab, they demonstrated immunizing mice against tetanus by just dabbing an engineered version of a harmless staph culture on its head. Unlike intramuscular…

'Africa' doesn't exist The continent's 1.5B+ consumers and $3T in GDP are deeply fragmented into mini-markets That creates: • Duplicated costs • Regulatory complexity • Barriers to scale The most revolutionary act in African business isn't disruption — it's integration 💡

Every institution that moves money will need a stablecoin strategy. Especially in emerging markets like Africa, stablecoins will be an integral part of the future of borderless financial services.

this is a great read by jack morris. gives such a fresh perspective on what really matters. TLDR: with every "new" architecture, we unlocked a new source of data to use at scale. it was the large amount of data we unlocked that boosted performance not the architecture itself,…

I overheard a clip at an office today where Alex Harmozi was saying, “If your company isn’t at $100k/mo you should be spending at least four hours a day on sales and marketing” and I think that’s a pretty reasonable take
