So in fact we actually can get robots, flying cars, superintelligence, fast internet on planes, space travel, space colonies, orbital data centers, unlimited energy, likely cures for nearly every disease, and more all in our life times. Pretty great.

Big news!
Made a screenshot of this when I got rejected for a program I applied for to console myself. Today, I've been selected by @Google for the Google for Startups x Antler @AntlerGlobal Immersion Program.

Honored to be speaking at moonshot later this month.
My talk will focus on the underlying philosophy driving stablecoin adoption.
See you guys there!

3 billionaires chatting over beers.
People say way more interesting things when they forget they're on a podcast... it feels so real (even if it's a Muse ad). We need more of this!

Energy capacity = economic capacity, in one chart
There are no low electricity, rich countries
"Energy Capacity = Economic Capacity"
Former Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger on why America's power grid is the ceiling on growth:
"We went through 10 to 15 years where essentially I was taking coal offline at the rate I was adding renewables, and essentially the nation was flatlined in terms of overall energy capacity."
"So essentially our economic capacity as a nation, flat for fifteen years."
"Even with that, we've gone to maybe increasing our national energy capacity 4% per year. Going from essentially zero to one."
"Nuclear as base load is a fabulous thing that we want to go build more of. Unfortunately all of our renewables have deep dependencies in China."
"Energy capacity somewhat dampens how euphoric we can get on AI. Why build a new data center and buy the million GPUs if I can't power them?"

One thing I love from this, having liquid founders that can back upcoming enterprises
This is how an ecosystem is created

There's a stage every startup hits that nobody talks about.
You've raised a little. You've made some revenue. You've tried a few things. Now you're hunting for the next lever, and there's no one in the room with you.
Nobody is building for founders at this stage. It's where good startups quietly die.
So SlowCo is building the room.
Builders Room is a co-working space + think tank for people building companies.
Here's the day:
9am: Arrive, say hi, do some light work
11am: Introductions
12pm: Write down what you're stuck on. Someone in the room helps you work through it.
You leave with a peer anchor who checks in with you through the week, until we meet again next month.
Who it's for:
→ Founders who've raised $150k+ (grants, equity or debt), or
→ Founders doing $5k+ MRR, or
→ Former senior operators from companies at that stage, now building something new
It's in-person, in Lagos, and capped at 20 founders so it stays high-touch.

Lobito Corridor 🥳🇨🇩🇦🇴🇿🇲
Africa’s first 24/7 ‘solar baseload’ power plant, enabled by batteries, goes online at DRC copper mine - energy-storage.news/africas-…
Yinka retweeted
The Lobito Corridor could become a major African trade artery.
1,300km linking DRC & Zambia to Angola’s Atlantic port, with €2B+ in investment and a 30% export growth target by 2030.
Excited to see Nomba among the early players building the financial rails for this ecosystem.
