In this episode, Masie and Stuart take a boat to the fantasy lands of Ursula K. Le Guin's Earthsea book series for Studio Ghibli's 2006 adaptation titled Tales from Earthsea. Along with the director Goro Miyazaki, this film has quite a negative reputation among Ghibli's otherwise illustrious catalogue of animated productions. But does it deserve said reputation? Well, our hosts on their travels unfortunately find a film with a strong lack of visual identity and craft with a script that is... confusing to say the least. Tune into our hosts journey through turbulent waters as they discuss its strange adaptation decisions as well as how the film points to Ghibli's weaknesses as a studio.

Questions on Parashat Mattot - Masie by Rabbi Benjamin Lavian
JSE-listed companies should be adopting bitcoin strategic reserves if they pause for a minute and take a serious look at the state of SA and the prospects for the rand, says tech entrepreneur Stafford Masie. Moneyweb Crypto news articles
At BNC#7 in Hermanus, tech entrepreneur and Bitcoin maximalist Stafford Masie delivered a groundbreaking keynote, arguing that Bitcoin and AI are not just complementary but symbiotic forces driving a tectonic shift in global economics. He detailed how AI's need for trust and transaction enablement makes Bitcoin indispensable while highlighting Bitcoin mining's crucial role in stabilizing energy grids. With major global shifts—such as Trump's push for strategic Bitcoin reserves and South Africa's potential for large-scale Bitcoin mining—Masie painted a compelling picture of a new financial and technological paradigm taking shape. Following his keynote at BNC#7, Stafford Masie engaged in a thought-provoking Q&A session with BizNews founder Alec Hogg, tackling Bitcoin's impact on central banking, its role in stabilizing energy grids, and the global economic shift towards decentralized finance. He addressed concerns about Bitcoin's volatility, quantum computing threats, and South Africa's potential adoption of a strategic Bitcoin reserve. The discussion also explored real-world Bitcoin applications, from township economies to Pick n Pay's acceptance of Bitcoin payments. With bold predictions on AI, stablecoins, and the future of money, Masie left the audience questioning the very foundation of the financial system as we know it.

Stafford Masie, a technologist and Bitcoin advocate, explores the global shift towards digital currencies and what it means for South Africa's economic future. Is Bitcoin the key to national prosperity or a missed opportunity?
Well-known South African technology entrepreneur Stafford Masie is one of the key backers behind an audacious bid to buy a stake of up to 40% in the South African Rugby Union (Saru)-owned entity that owns the commercial rights to the Springboks brand. Masie, who chairs JSE-listed Altvest Capital – a key player in the consortium making the bid – joins the TechCentral Show with Altvest CEO Warren Wheatley to unpack the plan and what spurred it, and to explain why tech is central to the bid. The bid comes after member unions of SA Rugby last week rejected a plan to sell a 20% in the commercial rightsholder to US-based Ackerley Sports Group for US$75-million. Ackerley has until the end of the year to submit a revised offer, but Wheatley and Masie told TechCentral that they do not expect a deal with the American firm will succeed. The South African consortium is made up of Altvest as well as EasyEquities, RainFin and 27four Investment Managers. In a statement, the consortium explained that if its bid is successful, it will list the special purpose vehicle that has been created to do the deal on the JSE and allow investors to buy shares. This is not dissimilar to Altvest's business model, which sees it taking stakes in companies on behalf of public shareholders who participate in the economic benefits thereof. “Worth thinking about for the tech community is that our platform allows for ‘crowdfunding' in a regulated environment that allows for participation in a funding round to anybody with disposable income – from first-time users or customers, all the way through to regulated institutions and pension funds,” Wheatley explained. In this episode of TCS, Masie and Wheatley unpack: • The background to their consortium's Springboks bid – and why the consortium members came together; • How the bidders will work with SA Rugby to commercialise the rights, assuming their bid is successful; • How the deal could affect broadcast partners; and • Why they believe the deal could be used as a platform for technology innovation in South Africa. It's an interesting discussion – don't miss it! TechCentral
In this gripping BizNews interview, Crypto guru and entrepreneur Stafford Masie highlights the transformative nature of Bitcoin, likening it to previous technological disruptions. He reflects on Bitcoin's unique attributes—its decentralised, energy-linked, immutable structure—as revolutionary, providing a "true" form of money and a hedge against the limitations of fiat currency. He discusses growing institutional interest, such as BlackRock's ETF, and the potential for nations to adopt Bitcoin as a reserve asset. This underscores Bitcoin's potential to reshape financial systems, despite resistance from traditional economists and regulators. Masie spoke to BizNews editor Alec Hogg.

The recent surge in the price of Bitcoin, which has more than doubled this year, comes as no surprise to our long-time tech guru, former Google executive, and tech entrepreneur, Stafford Masie. In this fascinating interview, he explains why some of the world's biggest investment names have converted to becoming ‘Bitcoin Maximalists' - those who believe the coin is far superior to all other cryptocurrencies. He suggests that period of advantage for retail investors is quickly closing and goes so far as to argue that, given its high-risk socio-political implications, it is irresponsible for those living in South Africa not to own Bitcoin. He spoke to Alec Hogg, editor of BizNews.

There have been so many warnings about Artificial intelligence including a call from 1000 tech leaders and researchers, and Elon Musk calling for a pause on AI and they point to the potential risk of AI to humanity. Governments are playing catch-up looking for what UK Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak has called ‘guard rails' at the G7 summit in Hiroshima to limit the dangers of AI. In this interview with Linda van Tilburg, South African tech entrepreneur, Stafford Maisie described AI as a superpower and said that he was leaning more into the idea that you could do more with less. For Africa, he said it could either be a dystopian future or a massive opportunity. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Our go-to guy on all things digital, Stafford Masie, believes the FTX collapse and associated contagion will once and for all highlight the vast difference between Bitcoin and its many imitators - so called ‘shitcoins'. In this fascinating interview with Alec Hogg of BizNews, he discusses FTX and its fraudster founder Sam Bankman-Fried, explains how the FTX collapse was inevitable and why what happened proves that in direct contrast to other crypto currencies, Bitcoin is 'a fundamental, technological gift to humanity that redefines value exchange on a global basis”. A Bitcoin maximalist, he reckons Cathie Wood's updated forecast this week that Bitcoin's price will hit $1m by 2030 “is conservative”. Sceptical?

Enocke Green, the runaway boy was somewhere in the house, but the three girls. Temperance, Antigone, and Masie were calming in the temporary safety of the dark stairwell, lit only by matchlight. Temperance and Antigone couldn't hear the house scream, but helped Masie limp along to compensate for her vertigo. Three monstrous trucks drove around the pond edge to the end of the road in front of the Park Row mansions. Trailing a short distance behind was an old carriage carrying four old, bent men wiping the condensation from the windows so they could see. The trucks arrived, the first carrying a crew of heavy laborers that had agreed to triple wage for an intense overnight shift, to quickly make work of demolishing the old Maestro's house, The Sotto Voce. The second held something under heavy rain cover and the third truck had a load of tethered barrels.
