        Random thoughts about fintech and tech in SubSahara Africa ( excluding SA), what are we fin-teching given 85-90% of these people live below the poverty line, and the entire continent is not industrialized.... what revenue, what discretionary income are we fin-teching for?

        #Africa is #urbanising without #globalising ....you can replace ‘Africa’ with Asia, South America....most developing nations for that matter. Globalization is broken, any angle you look at it.

        Income inequality is spiraling out of control, we are in a system that is not sustainable, everybody knows this. Those who are getting offended at the truth are part of the problem.

        Africa, Asia, Latin America mostly urbanizing without globalizing.... global village is all smoke and mirrors. A bunch of elitists and political capitalists run these emerging markets like personal feudal kingdoms. it’s all PR on the outside and a horror story on the inside...

        👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 “My reference was that a grand prix there felt strange to drive past homeless people, then arrive in a huge arena where money was not an issue. They spent hundreds of millions on a track that was now never used and that money could have been spent on schools or homes.”
