I dropped Twitter stock not because I think they will be regulated (they may) but because I think this was just a stupid move, and shows they aren’t making good business decisions.


> shows they aren’t making good business decisions.

I mean, I could have told you that when the already part-time CEO announced he'd move to Africa for a year :)


Africa is going to be the next {China, India, Vietnam, ...} in terms of manufacturing, industrial growth, smart phone and payments penetration, etc.

Dorsey is being incredibly smart by trying to figure out how to break into the African market. He probably wants to do payments there. Get in early, win the market. It's genius.

Just look at what's happening with Belt and Road.

Africa is going to be huge.

If I had his money and influence, I would be doing the same.
