Let's Talk About Africa

What about micro-credits business in Africa? Is it a possible biz there?

Yeah Wagner group is in Mali now. Russia playing the long game in Africa.

They always did. I believe Africa is the last continent where the Dictators and the 1% can hide their odd games.

yes likewise, I am truly fascinated by him and have read his book many times. Have had a few ex-Glencore clients who would share some stories about him too.

I have been to his office in Zug years ago. I had a close friend who worked for Glencore pre-IPO. His office was stuff of legends. Before he was pardoned by US he always feared he would be kidnapped by US in Switzerland so had an elaborate security arrangement.

Yup frontier markets excite me at same time. I worked in finance in Nigeria decades ago. When I lived there I had a good expat lifestyle that made living in West London seem like slumming it.

very much possible. There are some Latvians making a killing on this in Kenya & Uganda.

I myself am looking at this business in Zambia, looking at licensing now.

Great @Marc Rich thanks, and how about crypto adoption? I am working on a crypto micro-credit platform, my main target is SEA but I am looking at Africa too.
