Rebels finance their wars by "taxing" coltan miners. Nuggets of this are panned from streams and sold for their cobalt and tantalum to make the capacitors that make I phones possible.

Someday this will give you a petaflop computer on your desk. Right GAUSS. Someday this will give you a petaflop computer on your desk.
