Ethiopia was never colonized.
For much of its history, it was one of the poorest countries on the continent.
Meanwhile, Vietnam was colonized by the French, devastated by decades of war, and is now on its way to serious economic prosperity.
If colonialism were the answer to why Africa is poor, Ethiopia should be rich and Vietnam should be broke. Neither is true.
Can we please retire this excuse?
It wasn’t.
With rare exception, colonies were unprofitable, meaning more was spent building infrastructure like roads, railways, buildings, etc. than was exported.
And look at places like Singapore and Hong Kong. Both were colonies for a long time and yet they are extremely prosperous.

People still think (or feel) because Bitcoin is down crypto is down.
Derivatives/perps, stablecoins, prediction markets, etc are all up in crypto.
Crypto touches every area of finance, and is much broader than Bitcoin now. It will take some time for this to sink in.
(And yes - Bitcoin is going to do great and is as important as ever - one of many cycles we've all been through.)
