I once asked a mentor whether I should first study an MBA or take a leap and try scale a business.
I only had capital to sustain beginning one. His suggestion was the latter, as comparing success would hold more credibility and practicality.
Grateful for this guidance
A multitude of problems could easily be highlighted to contributing to this in SA. Given all of these and considering resources, what is the biggest impact initiative to drive the most change in improving mental health?
@alexdebruyn1 Saturdays are primarily ceasefires for me, including mostly doing things (social, fun) outside of startup work.
Sundays are set to organise the artillery, review the battle plan, and focus on one or two key initiatives for the week - essentially to get a head start.
Is having a world decouple from the $ such a bad thing?
Inevitable that better solutions are necessary and increasingly possible than the current ever being 🖨️ adopted de facto.
US debt to GDP ratio over time. very scary chart; no plan to fix it or even much of an acknowledgement we need a plan.
will get made worse as the rest of the world finds alternatives to the USD and rates stay non-zero.
long-term brewing crisis.
This message is false @FNBSA. The purchase of cryptocurrency most certainly is allowed in SA from local platforms like @VALRdotcom.
Kindly correct your message. This is a disservice to your customers as you are currently spreading fake news.
Just like most Tcs & Cs people automatically accept, short term users may think twice, long term the majority of people will click accept without thinking much at all 💭

@elonmusk tweets that he’d donate $1 million to a tree-planting cause.

To clarify, it’s Uber’s lack of owning any real assets that can’t be easily copied that is a concern. The current number of layoffs is another.
If they can’t evolve their business model significantly we may be looking at another go-to example of “Uber being Kodak’ed”.
For a long time Uber has been hailed as one of the go-to examples of disruptive innovation from taxis to ride sharing.
I’m wondering if they’ll be worth much in the next couple years.

@BooYah2 It’s going to be a very very long uphill battle with governments around the world to get anything done, however Libra is not dead just yet.
Cryptocurrency should benefit from having Libra help drive conversations on how a global currency could work with current regulation.
PayPal, now EBay, Stripe, MasterCard and Mercado Pago - major US payment processing companies exited Facebook’s Libra.
Navigating the regulation/compliance, especially between fiat and digital value will be tough. Maybe best not to ride the storm.
