What we’re flipping... and why

Welcome to Flip the Market. I am Liz Thorne, and this is my editor's column, One more tab open. Under this category you will find my semi-organised stream of thoughts on markets, tech, trends and whatever else kept me awake and Googling, mostly after 0:00. May we find each other here, from time to time, in a space where curiosity meets caffeine.

Smart. Savvy. Slightly rebellious.

This is not just another finance site, or tech blog. Neither is it a crypto echo chamber. We’re not here to tell you how to retire at 35 by cutting out iced coffee, or how to build a passive income through a coin no one’s heard of (yes, that one with the tiger logo). We’re also not pretending a smartwatch can change your life, or that downloading one budgeting app is going to fix a broken economy. Flip the Market exists because most content in this space is either trying to sell you something or talk down to you. Sometimes so dry, it needs a warning label for side effects.

We wanted something else. Something for the people who Google things like:

• Is Solana dead?
• What’s the cheapest power bank that won’t blow up?
• Can I buy Bitcoin with R50?
• How do I install MetaTrader without rage-quitting?
• Best data deal for a broke month end.

This is where markets, money, gadgets, crypto, TikTok rabbit holes, and low-key burnout collide. Instead of pretending to have all the answers, we’d rather show you how we’re figuring it out - one app, one tool, one scam warning, 3am tab at a time.

We cover:

• Crypto - without the cult vibes
• News - only what actually matters
• Gear - cool enough to use, cheap enough to afford
• Money hacks - for real-world bills and debit-order lives
• How-to guides - that work, not just rank on GoogleTech tools - AI, gadgets, blockchain bits and the rest
• We also cover the occasional caffeine fuelled 1am thought spiral

We’re not influencers. We’re not selling a course. We’re not pretending to be experts on everything. We test, try, research, and ask questions, so you don't have to, but hopefully because you probably are too.

Flip the Market isn’t polished. It’s practical and honest and our articles and content are not in the same stable as clickbait. Also, we are human and we are building this with curiosity, not ego. If you've read thus far, you’re probably one of us, and if not, consider joining us. Bookmark us. Side-eye us. Email us. Just don’t expect fluff.
