We prize what we know the history of. The secret of provenance is that value lives in the origin story - which is why gold would ultimately be worthless to an alchemist. The overriding question: what is anything truly worth, if it costs you your soul? amazon.co.uk/Tinker-Taylor-P…

From primary school crochet projects to a real little business with a card machine… My daughter makes & sells plushies, bespoke baby blankets, finishes other people’s incomplete crochet projects (yes, people actually pay her for that!), and she’s even hosted her own crochet class. Recently, she started selling at markets and we realised most customers don’t carry cash anymore, so a card machine became non-negotiable. After some research I signed up for the @CapitecBankSA Card Machine. Having a child under 18 running a business does complicate things though… The Capitec Entrepreneur Account can only be opened if you’re 18 or older and you need a Global One Account. So I became a Capitec customer (hence my Dischem haul last week 😅). If you want to encourage your kids to run their own business, and open a business account, remember the account will be in YOUR name and it has direct tax implications for YOU. The parent in the lower income bracket should sign up for the Capitec Entrepreneur account. It’s a proper business, so expenses are tax deductible when you file your tax return. I know it’s not the most tax-efficient setup, but the learning my daughter is getting is priceless. Her business is small, so her mistakes are small. She’s in a safe environment and I feel this is one of the best ways to entrench the entrepreneurial spirit early and give her loads of practice before she becomes an adult. She’s already learnt: • How to reconcile a bank statement • Proper record keeping (filing her receipts for mum to submit with her tax returns 😅) • That the VAT number on the bank statement is the bank’s, not hers… true story, she thought she had her own VAT number! • Sales, profit margins, comparing wool prices at different shops etc • Basic Excel skills I try to link what she’s learning in Accounting at school to her business so she gets real world exposure. Running the Capitec Entrepreneur Account is cost-effective: • Once-off for the card machine: R699 • Once-off fee of R70 to issue the Entrepreneur card • Fees only apply for payments to other banks, cash deposits & withdrawals • Monthly fee is zero as long as you have the Global One Account (R7.50 p/m) You can load up to 4 different businesses on the same Entrepreneur Account so when my younger one is ready, she’s going on the same system. Remember:
Entrepreneurship doesn’t start in school. It starts at home. This mindset is essential with South Africa’s high youth unemployment. Formal jobs will not absorb everyone. It’s so important to install the habit of spotting value and solving problems from a young age. As parents, we need to normalise raising our kids with business thinking so they create opportunities instead of waiting for them. Any questions? In what ways are you preparing your kids for the future?

I am extremely proud of the first book in the Richman Poorman Series, so much so that I entered it in the 2026 UK Storyteller Competition. This is how Martin Gore, singer & songwriter, helped me write parts of the book. ⅕

I was almost embarrassed to include lyrical rhymes in the middle of a novel’s narrative. But, once I did it large & obvious here, I felt it easier to scatter some subtle beats in other areas, where short, conversational words could be arranged tightly into metronomic breath.  ⅗

This book caused certain controversy which I am not free to talk about at this moment. It won’t be available for ever and I have no horse in the race to tell the truth. However, if you are in an investor in South Africa and SA banking stocks, especially Capitec, then it is worth reading this. All you need is an Amazon Kindle account and you can download the book for FREE, forever. amazon.com/Boland-Bankers-Be…

SpaceX a clôturé son premier jour de cotation à 2 100 milliards de dollars, +19%. Tout le monde regarde le chiffre. Personne ne regarde ce qu'il price réellement. Laissez-moi vous dire ce que le marché vient d'acheter, et pourquoi je pense que cette boîte vaudra 30 à 50 trillions d'ici 5 ans. D'abord, le symbole. Cette IPO est un référendum. D'un côté, 20 ans de discours sur la décroissance, la sobriété, la redistribution, la fin de l'histoire gérée par des comités. De l'autre, un homme qui a dit "je vais rendre l'humanité multiplanétaire", que tout le monde a traité de clown, et qui vient de créer la plus grosse entreprise cotée de l'histoire en partant d'un entrepôt à El Segundo. Le marché a voté. Le wokisme avait des départements RH, SpaceX avait des fusées. Les fusées ont gagné. Ensuite, la mécanique économique, parce que c'est là que tout le monde se trompe. Les analystes valorisent SpaceX comme une entreprise de lancement plus Starlink. C'est comme valoriser Internet en 1995 sur le marché du fax. Starship ne réduit pas le coût du kilo en orbite de 20%, il le divise par 100. Et chaque fois dans l'histoire qu'un coût d'infrastructure est divisé par 100, ce n'est pas le marché existant qui grossit, ce sont des industries entières qui naissent. Le coût du calcul divisé par 100 a donné Internet, le smartphone, l'IA. Le coût de l'orbite divisé par 100 va donner une économie spatiale complète. Faisons la liste de ce qui devient rentable quand le kilo en orbite coûte le prix d'un billet d'avion. Les data centers orbitaux, avec énergie solaire continue et refroidissement gratuit, au moment exact où l'IA fait exploser la demande énergétique terrestre. La fabrication en microgravité de semi-conducteurs, de fibres optiques, d'organes imprimés impossibles à produire sous gravité. Le tourisme orbital de masse, puis les hôtels lunaires, qui passeront du fantasme au business plan exactement comme la croisière de luxe au 20ème siècle. Le transport point à point terrestre, Paris-Tokyo en 40 minutes. L'industrie minière des astéroïdes, dont un seul corps de classe M contient plus de métaux que tout ce que l'humanité a extrait depuis le néolithique. Et Mars en ligne de mire, pas comme destination touristique, mais comme le plus grand projet d'infrastructure jamais entrepris, avec tout ce que ça implique de demande en énergie, matériaux, robotique, IA. SpaceX ne participera pas à ces marchés. SpaceX possède le péage d'entrée de tous ces marchés. C'est AWS, mais pour la civilisation. Apple vaut 3 500 milliards en vendant des rectangles de verre sur une seule planète. Le premier monopole d'accès à une frontière infinie à 30 ou 50 trillions dans 5 ans, ce n'est pas de l'exubérance, c'est une simple règle de trois sur l'expansion du marché adressable. Et maintenant, la partie que je préfère. Ce futur n'a pas besoin de bureaucrates. Il n'y a pas de comité consultatif en orbite. Pas de commission Théodule sur Mars. Chaque dollar de cette nouvelle économie sera créé par des ingénieurs, des techniciens, des soudeurs, des pilotes, des entrepreneurs. Les diplômés en gestion de la norme vont devoir apprendre un métier utile, et franchement, c'est une excellente nouvelle pour eux aussi : construire est infiniment plus fun que contrôler. Parce que c'est ça, le vrai signal d'aujourd'hui. Pendant 50 ans on nous a vendu un futur rétréci : moins d'énergie, moins d'enfants, moins d'ambition, gérer le déclin proprement. Et là, d'un coup, le plus gros actif financier du monde est un pari sur l'abondance, l'expansion et l'aventure. Le pessimisme vient de passer en position vendeuse sur lui-même. Le futur sera méga fun. Il y aura des hôtels avec vue sur la Terre, des honeymoons en orbite, des gamins qui diront "papa, c'était comment avant les fusées réutilisables" comme on dit "c'était comment avant Internet". Et quelque part dans les années 2030, un humain marchera sur Mars en livestream devant 5 milliards de personnes, et ce jour-là plus personne ne se souviendra du nom d'un seul de ses détracteurs. Achetez de l'optimisme. C'est encore sous-valorisé.

If you have money in a South African bank, you should know what is being done with it. Is it right for depositors funds to be used to fund risky business ventures in strange global jurisdictions? youtu.be/PZJM45eFxHU?si=bItE…
