What an evening. What an inaugural @enhanced_games event.

Honestly, if I could have scripted it, I could not have imagined a more nail-biting storyline - tension building all night, and then that unbelievable release at the end. I have to admit: I was close to a heart attack. And then I cried tears of joy when Kristian Gkolomeev won the Men’s 50m Freestyle in 20.81s, setting a new world record. He takes home a $1,000,000 bonus, a $250,000 first-place prize - and reclaims the 50m Freestyle world record.

Think about what a world record actually means. It means you are better at something than roughly 8 billion other people on this planet. Let that sink in.

I know some people expected us to break (many) more world records tonight.

But as always in science: baseline matters. Enhancements bring out the best in you - but they are not a magic bullet. Kristian was already one of the best clean swimmers in the world - and then he added the icing on the cake to reach entirely new heights.

And needless to say: the air gets thinner at the very top. Especially in the shortest events, breaking a world record has become harder and harder over the decades.

And then there is the unquantifiable magic of live sport. It does not matter how good you looked in training camp. It all comes down to that one moment. A few athletes who were world-record contenders had injuries today. Others had stage fright. That is real sport.

We have many more years ahead of us to break world records - one by one - and we will. We are just getting started.

But world records are not even my favorite part.

While breaking world records will always be one of the core themes of the Enhanced Games, what inspires me most is something else: the human drive to become the best version of ourselves. At every stage and time in life.

Tonight, 22 personal bests were broken. And in many cases, these were not personal bests from last month or last year, but from many years ago. Again - let that sink in.

Take @Megan__Romano: She set her previous personal best in the 50m freestyle (24.98) on July 16, 2013 - and tonight, nearly 13 years later, she broke it with a 24.55. She had not competed internationally in almost a decade, and at 35 years old she is now better than she was in her early twenties after only a few weeks of enhanced training.

Megan defied aging in spectacular fashion and became a role model for all of us on how to age better - or maybe even how not to age at all – with the power and support of medical enhancements.

Or take Emily Barclay - an athlete who had previously competed only at NCAA level. Her 50m freestyle time tonight would have been enough to win bronze in Paris. And it earned her $375,000. A true Cinderella story - made possible not by a fairy godmother, but by science.

I could go on and on - and I will. Because we want to tell all of these incredible, deeply personal stories.

World records are these almost mythical, elusive numbers. But winning the race against ourselves, against aging, against doubt, against the people who told us what is supposedly impossible - that is what truly inspires me.

And I know it will inspire many of you too.

Because Enhanced is not just a sporting event.

It is a movement.

A movement to help every human being become the best version of themselves.

Let’s go!!!

#Venezuela is entering a renewed era of stability and opportunity, with growing momentum across its energy sector and international partnerships.

The country’s ongoing reforms and investment-focused approach are helping restore confidence in its hydrocarbons industry while opening the door for expanded collaboration in oil, gas and infrastructure development. Increasing production, regulatory modernization and strengthened global engagement are positioning Venezuela as a key player in the evolving global energy landscape.

The piece also explores how stronger cooperation between #Venezuela and African nations could drive mutual growth, support energy access and unlock new opportunities for technology exchange, investment and long-term strategic partnerships.

As global markets continue to seek reliable energy partners, #Venezuela’s transformation presents an important conversation around resilience, energy security and sustainable economic growth.

Crude Oil. The secret is finally out! I am incredibly excited to announce that my upcoming book; "Crude Oil: Power, Turnaround, and Transformation in Angola" will officially hit the shelves on today! Entertaining and definitely going to be a bestseller like my other books over the last decade.

Angola is one of Africa’s largest oil and gas producers, with projected economic growth of 2.9% in the 2025-2026 period. Angola has experienced periods of rapid growth, change and challenge. But despite these obstacles, the country has shown resilience and a commitment to development.

With Crude Oil you get a detailed but entertaining analysis of how Angola’s past has informed its present and what the future looks like given large-scale reform and growth-centered policies. As one of Africa’s top oil producers, Angola is a testament to how reform can transform a market. Behind the scenes on the transformation driven by political will, featuring insights from industry leaders including Diamantino Azevedo, Angola’s Minister of Mineral Resources, Oil & Gas; Sebastião Gaspar Martins, CEO of Angola’s national oil company Sonangol E.P.; and Paulino Jerónimo, President of upstream regulator the National Oil, Gas & Biofuels Agency (ANPG Angola), the book presents a comprehensive analysis of the country’s leading commodity market.

The book represents a masterclass on reform and the turnaround of the country, focusing on how reform, leadership and a commitment to change have shaped the market into what it is today. Delving into Angola’s evolution of power, the book highlights how understanding the country’s history provides a clearer view of its current struggles and what a thriving oil industry means for Angola today.

The effects of these reforms are evident, with numerous deals signed by international and regional firms. TotalEnergies is spearheading a multi-energy strategy in Angola, including the $850 million Begonia Field Development; Chevron secured contracts for ultra-deepwater blocks 49 and 50 in 2024 and is expanding capacity at the Angola LNG project, while ExxonMobil made the first discovery of Angola’s incremental production strategy in 2024. Think of the Agogo project with Azule Energy

Angolan champions like Etu Energias continue to expand their upstream portfolio, while Equinor is advancing its commitment to human capital development. With this, Angola serves as a masterclass for oil and gas reforms, offering valuable lessons for other African nations.

I’ve poured my heart into this project for and I can’t wait for you to meet many readers. Look out for the Portuguese version. Crude Oil is now available for order! Get your copy early and be one of the first to read it https://t.co/DEFNL2Bmgu
Thank you all so much for the support on this journey!

Africa’s energy future is being shaped by bold African-led industrialization — and Aliko Dangote is at the center of that transformation. Recognized as the African Energy Chamber’s African Energy Person of the Year 2026, Dangote’s impact on refining, energy security and industrial development continues to redefine what’s possible for the continent’s energy sector.

From advancing large-scale refining capacity to strengthening Africa’s drive toward energy independence, this recognition highlights the growing role of indigenous leadership in powering Africa’s future.

This has been an 18-month project. Looking forward to publishing another bestseller. Crude Oil is Angola's bread and butter. A major re­maining question is whether the Angolan masterclass in reforming a complex sector story will be replicated elsewhere in #Africa, Latin America, Europe and the Middle East.

The Angola turnaround occurred under the umbrella of an era of low political risk and stable investment conditions. Diamantino Azevedo and his team at ANPG Angola, Sonangol E.P. and the private sector put together an unabashed pro-drilling legal framework is one of the reasons for the Angolan turnaround. The right conditions encouraged oil and gas exploration and the risk taking necessary to propel the industry forward. This stable regulatory environment was aided by an understandable, straightforward, and predictable fiscal regime, a key factor that is not necessarily present in many countries.

Countries seeking to develop their own oil resources should look to these enabling factors as baseline conditions and the progression of Angolan development over time to draw lessons learned.

While Angola's oil and gas production continue to rise and producers harness more improvements in technology and efficiency, the industry still has obstacles to overcome.

Angola’s intricate history is so rich and multifaceted that I am now convinced it would require multiple lifetimes to truly achieve the expert-level comprehension I had initially aspired to attain. Nevertheless, this experience instilled in me a deep appreciation for the nation, its people, and its story.

From a more seasoned and reflective perspective, I confidently describe myself not as an expert but as a student of #Angola—a role I embrace with great pride and intend to maintain for the rest of my days.

I am deeply indebted to so many that let me interview them and supported me with a lot of behind the scene material. This is going to be a blockbuster and a movie. Stay tuned.

We’re bringing back a literal blue antelope. From extinction. Because nature has range.

Today we’re announcing the bluebuck de-extinction project. Gone since 1800, this silvery, slate-blue grazer once shaped South Africa’s grasslands. Now it’s on its way back. 💪

In Paris i raised the issue of EU Policies hurting our energy sector. The European Union is effectively trying to export their failed energy policies by imposing restrictive measures on African oil and gas industry, including international oil and natural gas producers. This will only increase piverty in Africa. We appreciate ExxonMobil's efforts to push back and protect our energy energy industry.

We all need to oppose the EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) and Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). Its going to increased red tape, and potential deindustrialization of Europe while driving Africa towards poverty.

We cannot let Africa follow the same path as Europe. Europe’s energy security depends on trusted partners from Africa that provide gas during critical moments not policies like CS3D that make energy harder to secure.

European Union lawmakers voted to classify natural gas and nuclear energy projects within the EU as “green energy investments”, potentially opening up billions of euros in fresh funding.

this doesn’t apply to Africa investment projects. Africa needs the investments to use all forms of energy to lift millions out of poverty.

[African Energy Chamber @energy_african]

#Venezuela’s Orinoco Belt is proving that even the world’s heaviest crude can be repositioned as a competitive asset — but only with the right mix of technology, investment and market alignment. As production rebounds and infrastructure is gradually restored, the country is reshaping how heavy oil economics are understood on a global scale.

The lesson is clear: scale alone isn’t enough. Unlocking ultra-heavy resources requires upgrading capacity, access to diluents, modern infrastructure and consistent capital — all underpinned by stable governance and investor-friendly frameworks.

For #Africa, the question is timely. With vast heavy oil potential across several basins, can the continent replicate Venezuela’s recovery model — and avoid its past pitfalls?

The #copper deficit is, in my view, one of the most underpriced macro stories of the decade.

Our portfolio company @SuperCopperCo has just defined a kilometre-scale copper target: 800m of strike, ~400m wide, ~400m deep - and open in all directions.

Historical scout drilling in 2007 only clipped the edges, returning already up to 1.6% copper. The core of the system has never been tested… until now.

Drilling is about to begin.

[Zachary Dolesky @dolesk]

Three years ago, Cordillera Cobre was a map, a thesis, and a lot of conviction.

Today it's a defined, kilometre-scale copper target: 800m of strike, 400m wide, 400m deep, and open in every direction. Historical scout holes from 2007 clipped the edges of it and pulled up to 1.6% copper. Nobody has ever touched the core.

We're going straight into the heart of it.

[Super Copper Corp. @supercopperco]

NEW: We've defined a kilometre-scale copper anomaly corridor at our Cordillera Cobre Project, Chile.
5 consecutive IP lines. 800m+ strike. 400m+ vertical extent. Multiple high-chargeability cores, and the heart of the system has never seen a drill bit.

Here's what we found 🧵👇

@C_Angermayer Sehr wahr, aber leider zählt der Prophet im eigenen Land nichts... 😢

[Christian Angermayer @C_Angermayer]

Great to see Rwanda embracing innovation once again.

I hope other countries across Africa will follow soon.

Countries that restrict access to #Bitcoin, stablecoins, and other digital assets often do so because they want to control their citizens’ wealth - or, even worse, steal it through inflation.

In many ways, a country’s digital asset regulation says a lot about the kind of country it wants to be.

[Zachary Dolesky @dolesk]

With this upsized financing, we have assembled the strongest strategic cap table in our history.

The focus now is simple: execution.

[Christian Angermayer @C_Angermayer]

A second upsize of the capital raise for our portfolio company, @supercopperco - driven by very strong investor demand.

The company initially targeted a $2 million financing and ultimately closed at $10 million, remaining significantly oversubscribed even at that level.

This level of demand is a strong vote of confidence in both the underlying asset and the execution strategy.

Thank you to our excellent banking partners, A.G.P. Canada Investments ULC and Baader Bank AG, for their strong support throughout the process.

The net proceeds will be used to advance Super Copper’s two Chilean copper projects - Cordillera Cobre and Castilla - toward drill-ready status. This includes completing property-wide magnetic and Induced Polarization (IP) surveys at the Castilla project to delineate iron oxide copper-gold (IOCG) targets and identify sulfide concentrations at depth, as well as executing a maiden and follow-up drilling program at Cordillera Cobre.

With a strengthened balance sheet and clear operational milestones ahead, $CUPR now is well positioned for its next phase of value creation.

[Super Copper Corp. @supercopperco]

We are pleased to announce that, following strong strategic investor demand, Super Copper has upsized its financing to $10 million.

The world needs more #copper - and we intend to help deliver it.

We are very pleased to see the strong investor demand for the financing of our portfolio company, @supercopperco. The offering is attracting high-quality strategic participation, including an investment from my family office, @ApeironInvests.

This capital comes at an important time, as the company advances toward near-term catalysts.

Super Copper has two projects with exceptionally high grades. Recent grab samples returned up to 17.7% Cu and 53.8 g/t Au at Castilla and up to 10.3% Cu and 296 g/t Ag at Cordillera in Chile’s Atacama, a region with world-class infrastructure and the presence of global majors. The company is expecting to announce additional results from its flagship project shortly.

We believe the combination of growing global copper demand, disciplined execution, and aligned long-term shareholders positions $CUPR well for the next phase of value creation.
