I'm not sure I like the direction Twitter is going in...
I'll still hold out to see where this goes, but I'm unsure on the game plan now.

As soon as you start showing any interest in crypto on Twitter, all of a sudden you're tagged in so many 'drops'.
@elonmusk is there a way we can untag ourselves or block these?

Founding a startup is a long-term game. If you’re in it for the money or fame, your motivation will quickly dwindle.
Looking forward to this!

The work you do in private is the work you are praised for in public.
As a startup founder, you have to do the work, do more work, and then do it again!
Reminder: The most successful companies were often founded during difficult economic times. So, stay resilient, stay focused, and keep pushing forward.
Liane Sanderson speaking sense on @talkSPORT today. Every point spot on in my opinion.
I thank my Uncle @DrESpioGh
for alerting us to this history and thanks to Napoleon Ato Kittoe for writing this. I feel it's important to carry on his legacy and this is what we are all seeking to do.

Silicon Valley Bank's crash is spurring a review of African startups' dependence on US banks, but:
Are wire transfers from African banks easy? What is the equivalent of FDIC insurance for African USD bank accounts?
New from me in @semafor

I really respect the move HSBC made to purchase SVB UK, but what moves can VCs and founders make to ensure that that panic never happens again?
Being a new founder, I didn't know about SVB. What puzzled me is how reliant so much was on one single bank? Who are their competitors? Why aren't there more options?
I fully respect what they've done, but even if McDonald's went bust, the fast food industry would be fine.
Life is like the road. If you don't look up to see it's 30 mph, when you see a camera you'll go at 20 mph, hold people up and frustrate them!
