I started a bitcoin newsletter (link in bio). A resource for newbies (especially Ugandans, I really really love you people) After the video I did with @Mizzflav so many of you have reached out asking for more information and it got overwhelming trying to explain individually.
Writing is the superpower of humankind. It is our truest form of magic.
Writing allows you to conjure up something of value where nothing previously existed. It costs little for you to write down the lessons of your life and yet those few minutes spent writing can be life-altering for the right reader. As I once saw it put: "there is someone out there with a wound in the exact shape of your words."
Furthermore, writing is the foundation of nearly every technology and innovation because we have to record what we know before we can build upon it. And these innovations are passed down from generation to generation, allowing our children to inherit a richer intellectual fortune than what we were born into. The world is richer because we write and nobody is made poorer in the process.
The U.S. has told several Gulf Arab countries to be prepared for a short, intense military campaign after the U.S. midterm elections, people briefed on the conversations said. https://t.co/ZAp9DVmlXu
This is Not True.
On the Contrary. JP Morgan Launched a New Emerging Market Bond ETF in September (Uganda included plus many more )that in the next 2-3 years they plan to buy Uganda close to 4 billion USD worth of Ugandan Bonds.
Nigeria, Kenya, Zambia and likes are included.
Success is when your name is debated, defended, recomended, mentioned in good light, in spaces you dont even know exist, by people you have never met, for reasons only they can explain.
Be kind always.
@mishi254@whiteheadcomm The problem isn't necessarily that Bloomberg's figures are wrong. It's the language. Why all those whistles and bells to make the crisis damatic. Comparing us to a country smack in the middle of a raging conflict.
I have come back to this headline almost 50 times. The fact that it is not on their Africa page but their main page. The sensational language, the provocative comparison. Knowing the authority Bloomberg has and its power to affect investment decisions. This is an economic hit piece.
Uganda is tapping its nearly $7 billion in reserves to lessen the blow of a plunging shilling, which is the world’s second-worst-performing currency this month after Iraq’s dinar. https://t.co/E85oNxd32U
If you've worked in media, you know that phrasing, tonality and framing matter just as much as the facts being reported.
There's a negative stereotype that some international media coverage seems determined to reinforce when it comes to Uganda.
We're entitled to ask why.

Governments in the UK, EU countries, Germany, Sweden and others urge basic household supplies for 3-10 days. Official reasons cite more frequent extreme weather, cyber attacks that can disrupt power or payments, and hybrid threats from hostile actors. The aim is broader national resilience so people can self-manage short outages and free emergency services for the vulnerable. Not based on any specific imminent threat.
