Tabile Raziya attended the University of the Western Cape studying a Bachelor of Commerce Majoring in Information Systems and Business, where he first started dabbling in cryptocurrency (when the price of Bitcoin was around $600). He then went on to study his Honors in Information Systems and the University of Cape Town, where he was provided the opportunity to start working as a Business Analyst at the Cape Town based PropTech company Open Box Software. He recently successfully completed the UCT short course “Blockchain and Digital Currency: The Future of Money”
Throughout his studies and work life, he became enamored with Cryptocurrency, Blockchain, NFT’s and WEB3. He learnt about this emerging field by doing, investing, engaging with online communities and teaching the basics. Why? For one, the Market Capitalization of all cryptocurrencies quickly eclipsed the Gross Domestic Product of South Africa. Secondly, he believes the technology behind it all has the potential and presents the opportunity to change how the world operates in business, communication, finance, property, law, music and more, kind of how like WEB2 (the current version of the internet) changed everything.
