Got to visit @SpaceX HQ 🇺🇸. This is the greatest company in human history!
It's a privilege to be working to bring @Starlink across Africa through Shona Prince Technologies.
Starlink is the most revolutionary technology to grace the continent since the smartphone! Let's go 🚀

Harnessing even a millionth of the Sun’s power, which is extremely difficult, results in an economic value far more than a million times than that of Earth’s current entire economy
The annals of time have been kind to me so far...
My take on SpaceX is that it's something unlike anything we've ever seen before. It is unlocking a frontier (Space), that humans have never had the commercial ability to monetize, and now we do. What's it worth today? Who knows - maybe $2trn or maybe $1trn. What's it's worth in 20 years time - absolutely multiples of that ($50trn ).
If you can stomach the volatility and have faith in the greatest entrepreneur and industrialist of all time, it's probably the safest bet you can make on a 20 year time horizon.
Within twenty years you will see masses of westerners and even Asians desperate to live in Nairobi.
Nairobi is basically where 1980s Bangkok was, a huge UN hub city that was a delicious secret for UN workers and geriatric tourists.
Eventually the word got out.
I don’t like this,
But it’s going to happen.
It’s going to become one of the global superstar cities for remote wealth/money.
There will also ultimately be >100k V3/V4/V5 satellites for Starlink broadband and direct to cellphone connectivity.
If growth continues, Starlink will one day carry the majority of Internet traffic. At that point, it is the Internet and everything else just connects to Starlink.
We've built a platform that allows even a street vendor to sell you access to global financial markets and stocks like Apple & Tesla!
Yes, you can literally buy or sell any major digital asset from $1 from the street corner with StakeStreet.com.

We've done our best to populate Southern Africa with Starlink at Shona Prince, built the first ever dedicated retail chain just for Starlink:

Starlink is an economic miracle especially for Africa. Millions of people in a short amount of time will have access to the same information, AI platforms and opportunities as just about anybody else in the world. The result will be massive social mobility at epic proportions.
Neuralink is a much bigger breakthrough than most people realize.
Enabling people to control a computer with their mind and the completely blind to see are Jesus-level miracles.

Victor Mapunga, StakeStreet CEO: "We've taken something people already understand buying airtime from a vendor and extended it to global markets. Now anyone can buy Bitcoin, global stocks, or investment bundles from their local shop."
That's the vision. Now live.

Actually this is exactly what we do at StakeStreet.com,
@StakeStreet_.
A vendor on the street can sell you any digital asset for cash. You can redeem it instantly in your wallet and trade as you please.
If Dangote successfully sells shares through POS terminals, it does not just democratise investing.
It begins the death of apps like Bamboo, Trove, Chaka, Risevest, and Vest.
Access was their entire moat. Their pitch had always been simple….you do not need a stockbroker, just use us.
The moment a POS agent on your street can sell you shares in Africa’s largest refinery, their market strategy is gone.
OPay and Moniepoint have more agents than all those apps have users combined. Dangote pays dollar dividends, which was their last real edge.
If this works, every major Nigerian company planning an IPO will follow the same playbook.
Why pay to acquire users on an investment app when POS infrastructure already reaches 50 million Nigerians?
The apps do not die on IPO day. They die slowly, every time someone buys their first share without ever hearing their name.
The internet is the one single thing that literally lifts an entire country's GDP
Every country that signs with Starlink gets a parallel internet infrastructure
Every country that delays gets left further behind
