Interview With Author Thato Mpesi
Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Hi, I’m Topaz Mpesi, founder of Topazcrypto, a brand focused on crypto education, digital empowerment, and online entrepreneurship. I’m passionate about helping beginners understand cryptocurrency without the tech overwhelm. I believe that financial knowledge should be accessible to everyone—especially in Africa, where the future of crypto has huge potential.
Crypto Unlocked is my first published book, created to give everyday people the confidence to explore and invest in digital money. I plan to release more beginner-friendly guides covering DeFi, NFTs, and earning crypto online.
When I’m not writing or studying crypto trends, I enjoy building my brand, helping others start their own online businesses, and staying connected with the global Web3 movement.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
I was inspired to write Crypto Unlocked because I saw how many people—especially in my community—were interested in cryptocurrency but didn’t know where to begin. There’s a lot of noise, scams, and complex language in the crypto world, and that can push beginners away.
I wanted to create a guide that felt like a friend explaining it to you in simple terms. No big words, no hype—just clear, honest information. My goal is to help everyday people, especially young Africans, understand how crypto works and how to safely get involved, even with just a few rands or dollars.
This book is for those who want to learn, grow, and take control of their financial future.
