T - 2 days

In two days my 50c challenge will begin, and I can feel my nerves twitch.

The idea of changing 50c into R1 seems simplistic at first, but when you get right down to it, there is a lot more to it.

So the current ideas range from selling the 50c with the dream of making it R1 000 000 for one rand to buying a 50c piece of wire and making some sort of artifact that can be sold for one rand. The worst part is that the suffering does not end when the R1 has been made. I foresee hard times up until the point where I can work with R100 or more, as this gives you a little bit of scope. For the first few transactions I see myself producing a single item at a time and selling said item for more than the price of the raw materials. In this process I feel that physical labor and ingenuity will add value to the raw materials.

This is early days still, and I can imagine myself pushing really hard to come up with new ways of making money and staying in the game. Thus far I need more time to plan.

Still I can not wait to turn that first 50c into R1 and get this party started.

Join me on April 1, 2009 for the first transaction. I will not be able to guarantee perfect form in following the schedule, but I can assure you of constant action right here on my blog
