sometimes you donโt realise how deeply jealousy has surrounded and affected you until you look back, especially if itโs been from a young age coming from people you loved. you become immune to it at some point and yeah, that may protect you, but it hides the hurt which can be a gift and a curse. so recognise it, but never let it make you doubt yourself. use it as fuel to keep becoming.

In October 2025, Absa partnered with Ripple to bring institutional digital-asset custody to South Africa.
Absa became Rippleโs first major custody partner in Africa, using Rippleโs technology to securely store and manage tokenised assets, including cryptocurrencies.

That partnership has now moved from announcement to an actual banking service.
Absa has launched Absa Digital Asset Custody, providing corporate and institutional clients with a secure, regulated environment to safeguard digital assets and manage the private keys that control them.
Absa says its new service combines institutional governance, compliance, transaction controls, security and audit capabilities with Rippleโs digital-asset technology.

This isnโt Absa launching a crypto exchange or encouraging customers to trade cryptocurrencies.
Rather,
Itโs a major African bank building regulated infrastructure for institutions to hold and manage digital assets.

growing up, my friends and I loved music so much that discovering new artists across different genres became competitive. But the beautiful part was how we couldnโt wait to play our finds for each other. Every discovery came with the thought: โoh my God, I canโt wait until they hear this shit.โ and seeing my niggas react to the same part of a song or detail in its production that you fell in love with was second to none.

๐จ TODAYโS US JOBS REPORT IS NOT REALLY ABOUT JOBS.
Itโs about whether the bond market gets another excuse to push yields even higher.
US 10Y yields have already touched 5.34%, the highest since 2002.
Brent is still above $100.
The dollar is strong.
Gold is heading for a second straight weekly loss.
Stocks are wobbling.
Yet the market has cut the probability of an October Fed hike to roughly 26โ28%.
Sounds dovish?
Not really.
Markets are still pricing around an 80% chance of another hike by December.
That is the important bit.
We havenโt necessarily killed the tightening cycle.
We may have just pushed the next hike back.
Today economists expect roughly 90,000 jobs, with unemployment holding at 4.1%.
If payrolls come in hot, the market has a very simple problem:
Oil above $100.
Inflation still sticky.
Labour market still holding up.
Fed still uncomfortable.
And a bond market already questioning whether rates need to stay higher for longer.
That is why Iโm watching yields first today.
Not the headline payroll number.
The number is not the trade.
What it does to rate expectations is the trade.
