The crypto queen of South Africa, Thembi Portia Shilenge, has identified the American magnate and investor, Warren Buffet, as her role model.
She stated this recently while answering a question on her live Instagram, @thembishilengee with TMY Podcast.
“Warren Buffet is a smart investor. His principles of business are easy to follow,” she said.
Thembi Shilenge, a trained chemical engineer who is now CEO of Crypto Dimension Academy and regional CEO of CoinW Exchange, has become widely known as a crypto influencer and real estate investor.
The lady who is making waves as perhaps the most influential female Bitcoin advocate avowed that trading in cryptocurrency is accessible to anyone.
Drawing from her experience, she said: “I was initially introduced to cryptocurrency through network marketing. Then a former colleague of mine introduced me to a platform where you can invest your money and get your returns paid in Bitcoin. That was when I started collecting Bitcoin. I began to realise its potential as a guarantor of financial freedom in the future.”
Speaking further, Thembi Shilenge who also worked in the past with Binance as a Bitcoin trader, gave further insights into the dynamics of cryptocurrency investment.
“Cryptocurrency is a big shift from the normal traditional financial system, so, normally, it eludes a lot of people especially. All types of investments have profits and losses but people most times can’t stand losses,” she said.
Of her lessons as an entrepreneur, she said: “I have learnt that it is important you keep investing. If you believe in a stock or investment, you need to stay patient no matter how it is performing throughout the journey. Take for example, Bitcoin has crashed more than four times during my journey but I remain in great profit because the recovery is imminent.”
