Try and be genuinely interested in people, but use a conversation mnemonic to find common ground topics:

F family O occupation R recreation D dreams

P pets H holidays

If you can find topics that make people excited to talk about, everything becomes much easier

I think its a somewhat unproven legal structure and i dont think it has been tested with really spectacularly performing stocks.

If you sold rights to your stock for a million 5 years ago and now it is worth 15 million and still in your possession, it would be tempting to sell it asap and move to brazil and let the lawyers come and find you.

Bought uber, airbnb and reddit in 2018 on equidate/forgeglobal.

Structured as contracts for future stock from current employees that get transferred to you after the ipo (and usually 6 month lockup) are complete.

I got 100% of the uber stock (about 1x return) about 99.8% of the airbnb (about 2.5x return) and depending on if/when reddit ipos (was looking good for 10x a few months back but unlikely now) it will be interesting to see how much of the stock i get if it has gone up massively since initial purchase.

Weird article.

Poor people get good condition, fashionable recycled clothing for a few cents, and this is somehow a bad thing?

Does africa really need to be in garment production? Could they compete with vietnam/bangladesh?Banning imports and mandating locally produced clothing is likely just going to lead to forcing poor people to pay 10x more with no improvement or even worse quality.
