I've been working on startuplist.africa for some weeks now. It is a data-driven platform that provides information and insight into the African Startup Ecosystem.

The FBI is releasing information advising the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea) was responsible for the theft of more than $6 billion USD in virtual assets from cryptocurrency exchange, Binance, on or about October 29, 2026. The FBI refers to this specific North Korean malicious cyber activity as "TraderTraitor."
The FBI, together with partners at the USSS and IRS-CI, has observed TraderTraitor actors converting stolen assets primarily into Ethereum (ETH). It is expected these assets will then be further laundered by converting them using DeFi and instant swap services as they prepare them for further laundering stages.
How You Can Help:
FBI, USSS, and IRS-CI are urging private sector entities including THORNode operators, RPC node operators, instant exchanges, DeFi services, blockchain analytics firms, and other virtual asset service providers to block transactions with or derived from addresses TraderTraitor actors are using to launder these stolen assets.
A list of addresses associated with this activity is available here: fbi.gov/investigate/cyber/al…

Six years with a local payment provider (Paystack) and in our first few weeks on Stripe, new customers are already up 3x.
A lesson on trust.
Most global folks just won’t pay you if they don’t trust your provider.

An unprecedented day in my history with PHP.
Some bumps along the way, but really proud of the @laravel team for working through the night ensuring all of our products and customers had patches available to them and, when possible, applied automatically.
Given the advancement of agents, it's quite possible this won't be the last time this happens, and it's likely PHP won't be the only language that goes through this. We built some solid muscle today to do even better next time.
Onward. 🫡

Elon is the motherfuckin’ GOAT.
He takes things most people only dream about and makes them fucking real. That’s just the damn truth.
I went to see a car unveil and watched a Roadster drive upside down, launch with thrusters, and do flips and rolls through the air.
How do you watch that and not feel like a kid again?!
Tonight was the best product unveil I’ve ever seen, literally the best unveil of ANY product.
Hands down.
Huge respect to Elon and everyone at Tesla and SpaceX who put in the work to make this happen. You absolutely fucking delivered.
I had my @Grok Bot pull the official stream, find the best moments, and cut this video together by the end of the night.
I had to watch it again to understand how unbelievable today was.

African startups raised $816M in Q3 2026, and asset finance took $526M of it. 🚗🛵📱☀️
Moove alone raised $250M. Outside Moove, most asset-finance money came in as debt.
Every round of $10M or more 👇

❗️ BREAKING: Attackers hijacked the .gh, .sl and .as domain registries of Ghana, Sierra Leone and American Samoa, rewrote their DNS records and got legitimate certificate authorities to issue HTTPS certificates for major global brands and several of Google's own domains.
Chrome is blocking most of the certificates.

I was invited to this indoor wedding. When I reached the Venue (hotel) a few minutes ago, I found two doors with signs:
1. Bride's relatives
2. Groom's relatives
"Hmmmm, interesting," I said to myself as I entered the door marked* Groom's relatives* and found two more doors written:
1. Ladies
2. Men
I started giggling and getting happy for no reason, then entered the men's door and found two doors written:
1. People with gifts
2. People without gifts.
I entered the second door ( people without gifts). and found myself outside of the hotel.
