Nineteen times out of twenty, the man Cape Town's police catch red-handed with an illegal gun walks free. JP Smith explains why, and why he's taking national government to court over it. Intelligence analyst Jasmine Opperman lays out something most South Africans haven't clocked: 14 active Bitcoin wallets linked to Hamas, offices operating in the open, and Islamic State using our own organised crime networks as a door into the country. Then, at the close of BNC#9, David Shapiro and Piet Viljoen make the case for staying, both with their money and their outlook: undervalued JSE stocks paying investors handsomely just to hold on, and a reminder that South Africans, whatever else is going wrong, are still hopeful, resilient and friendly to strangers. And on Wall Street, an AI-fuelled selloff runs straight into a Federal Reserve decision this week.

At the close of BNC#9, Alec Hogg sat down with David Shapiro and Piet Viljoen to unpack the conference. Viljoen made the numbers case for South Africa: bar the two big banks, every stock in his portfolio trades at a discount of thirty percent or more to what he thinks it is worth, and the market is effectively paying investors fifteen percent a year just to stay put. Shapiro made the human case, and the uncomfortable one, running through what three days without power does to a family in Johannesburg, and why he still believes America out-competes an ageing Europe on sheer will to win.
At BNC#9, veteran stockbroker David Shapiro told delegates that AI had roughly tripled his own output, and he is not slowing down at 78. He argued that South Africa's real obstacle is not regulation but ideology, and that it is costing the country a venture capital industry, a functioning collateral-free lending market, and a mining sector he believes is sitting on far more gold than it is using. He also explained why he cannot make a living from the JSE alone, why he sends most of his clients' money offshore, and the one signal he trusts more than any headline: what the share price is actually doing while the story is still being told.
Editorial note: This session was recorded at BNC#9 on Thursday 13 August 2026. In the days after this Q&A, the FSCA announced 20-year debarment orders against Warren Wheatley and two colleagues over share trading in Altvest Capital (Africa Bitcoin Corporation's predecessor) in September 2022, along with a combined R10 million in administrative penalties. Wheatley has resigned from the board; Stafford Masie, referenced throughout this session, is now interim CEO. All three dispute the findings and are seeking reconsideration from the Financial Services Tribunal. Nothing in this Q&A relates to that matter, which concerns trades from roughly four years before this conversation, but readers should have that context. See the flags section of the publish package for detail and sourcing. At BNC#9, Warren Wheatley told David Shapiro that Bitcoin has become boring, and he meant it as a compliment. The Africa Bitcoin Corporation founder walked through the mechanics: borrowing dollars from a European bank at 3%, using the money to buy Bitcoin, then lending to South African SMEs at 18%, less than half what most of them pay elsewhere. He explained the loan-to-value discipline that keeps it safe, why he'd rather fund a farmer hiring 80 people than a two-person AI unicorn, and what he thinks the Reserve Bank's draft crypto rules would do to the industry if they pass as written. He also covered how Bitcoin miners quietly became a buffer for AI data centres, what Eskom missed out on, and his own advice on keeping Bitcoin safe.

David Shapiro has watched the market from a JSE trading floor since 1972, through every crisis from the Asian meltdown to the pandemic. At BNC#9 he makes the case that a single 2022 invention quietly kept the global economy afloat despite punishingly high interest rates, and explains why the new Fed chair's own words about inflation are more revealing than they sound. He also names the industries already fading out of relevance, and where he's looking for the next decade of returns.

Dive into Episode #165 of the Psych Health and Safety USA Podcast, featuring host Dr. I. David Daniels, PhD, CSD, VPS, and special guest David Shapiro, a cultural anthropologist and sociologist who will share about the concept of Recovery Friendly Workplaces.

Mr. Shapiro is not only a nationally recognized expert on the concept of recovery-friendly workplaces, but also, based on his lived experience, an advocate for workplaces that focus on treating substance use disorders and the people living with them in the same way they would treat someone with a medical condition.

In this episode, Abdu Murray and Derek Caldwell address two important questions submitted by viewers—one about the origins of Christian belief, and one about sharing the Christian faith with people from different backgrounds. 1. "Is Jesus just a copy of Zoroaster?" We examine the popular claim that Christianity borrowed its key ideas from ancient Zoroastrianism. Did concepts like judgment, resurrection, or a final savior come from Persian religion? We walk through what the historical evidence actually shows and let the scholars speak. 2. "How should we engage people who are more difficult to reach, such as Jews, Muslims, or others who approach faith differently?" We talk about how to have meaningful conversations with people from various worldviews, and how to help your children prepare for the beliefs they will encounter. In this episode, we mentioned several resources. Here are a few in order of their mention: -Derek's blog on the Old and New Testaments and Zoroastrianism: https://embracethetruth.org/blog/was-jesus-just-a-zoroastrian-knockoff/ -Edwin Yamauchi's book, Persia and the Bible (Baker, 1996) -Abdu's conversation with Jewish convert David Shapiro: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzcUHwFu3Dk -Mama Bear Apologetics: https://mamabearapologetics.com/ -Cameron and Stuart McAllister's book, Faith that Lasts (IVP, 2021) -The Museum of Created Beauty: https://museumofcreatedbeauty.org/ -Xandra Grieme and Ken Boa's Created Beauty series of books (check out Nebulae here: https://a.co/d/2umJIGs).
