Crypto is not an escape pod. The globally connected economy is basically here. Your digital id citizenship will go with you everywhere and there will be no p2p untraceable payments. Forget about all the rubbish that was fed to retail investors by Epstein and his American secret department contacts, that was all lies to get retail investors to put enough liquidity into these networks so they can be tested and proven. The institutions and governments needed liquidity from retail to do this because they couldn't take the risks si they created the whole "decentralised utopian dream" and the whole "crypto vs banks" "crypto the inflation hedge" etc etc. Soon if you are say, an "Australian resident for tax purposes" it won't matter where you go on the earth, if you earn money while you're there the Australian government will know and you'll pay tax on those wages earned outside Australia. These systems are already "sort of" in place even with the old way of doing things but now with the new blockchain systems and digital id, and the whole world getting connected up there won't be anywhere to hide for the normal man. Obviously, vast wealth and the best advisors will always ensure that the 1% can continue to do what they want but the rest will not.

🚨 Bro, we’re one CBDC away from living in a dystopian hellscape where your money expires, your purchases are pre-approved, and your social credit score dictates your dinner. The only escape pod left? Crypto. Everything else is just fancy slavery with extra steps.Prove me wrong or tell me I’m right, I need to know I’m not the only one who sees it. Drop your unfiltered take below

It takes a mature adult to stand up and own your mistakes with such grace and accountability. Imagine if our politicians had this approach to owning things they stuff up etc? As a nation we would have so much more faith in our politicians. Instead they lie, deflect, blame others, take things "on notice", "change their positions" and any other tub they can think of to do anything but take responsibility.

This might be my worst mistake... ever? Tough day at the office for sure. There's no 'nice' way to say this, I screwed up my debate on Punters against Daniel Bleakley badly. Actually one of my worst clangers... ever. And it's 100% on me. I built my entire approach to the debate around something I genuinely believed to be true about my Daniel's company... but I was wrong. Trouble is I didn't realise I'd made that mistake till we were well into the debate, and it wasn't till AFTER the debate that I was able to go back and actually confirm... I'd screwed up my research. Sadly it means I've made an idiot of myself, and I've failed to represent you as I should have, and this one's going to live rent-free in my head for a while. In this video I tell you what happened, then when the debate comes out on Punters Politics you can watch it there and decide for yourself. Ugh. Not my favourite day. topherfield.com

DeepMind’s AI just solved 9 unsolved math problems on its own. Two had stumped humans for 56 years. Cost: a few hundred dollars each. The price of new knowledge just collapsed.

@Cointelegraph Err this was actually news almost 2 years ago....... the petrol dollar agreement has been broken for quite some time now.

🚨 TODAY: Robert Kiyosaki warns the US dollar is under threat as Iran begins accepting Chinese Yuan for oil payments, calling it the biggest news in world financial history.

@Lambmike1 @OtherSideAus @Mon4Kooyong You might want to kick over a few rocks and see what's backing all the parties..... .

@OtherSideAus @Mon4Kooyong Lol you support one nation that is being bank rolled by one billionaire

My statement in response to media commentary surrounding the potential establishment of a new political party.

The taxation regime of gas and oil exploration in this country is not understood which has led to an enormous amount of misinformation. Here are the facts: 1. Oil and gas companies pay 30 cents tax on their profits just like every other company in Australia. That means that Australians already have 30% ownership. 2. Oil and gas companies pay a super profit tax on their profits known as the Petroleum Resource Rent Tax. The PRRT has collected very little revenue to date for two reasons a) there has been an enormous amount of capital invested in getting these projects up resulting in large depreciation offsets and b) the gas was foolishly sold forward at very cheap prices when the projects were given the go ahead. A lot of these contracts will roll off over the next decade resulting in larger profits and a larger tax for taxpayers. 3. 70-80% of gas and oil exploration in Australia is unsuccessful. Offshore gas exploration is not a multi million dollar business- it’s a multi billion dollar business. The idea that taxpayers should fund 30% of offshore oil and gas exploration is absurd. The last person to come up with that idea was Gough Whitlam. Needless to say no banks would lend against such a proposition. Peoplefirstparty.au has always had a policy to abolish the PRRT and replace it with a 5-10% royalty on Sales. Combined with the 30% company tax that will guarantee that Australians share in over 40% of the profits of any offshore oil and gas project. That’s an excellent return given taxpayers incur no risk. I’ve done up a table in comments showing the share Australians will receive based on operating profit margin before tax. David Pocock, the Greens and One Nation are all wrong on this. The formers 25% export tax will wipe out most of the profits made eliminating the incentive to further explore for gas. One Nation offering to fund 30% of exploration costs for mostly foreign owned companies will expose taxpayers to billions of dollars in subsidies with no guarantee of return. Australia desperately needs sensible economic reform. Unfortunately none of the parties in Canberra have a clue how to make this happen.

@_truthAndTesla_ Dude stop it. Thats such a lame way to try to get people to follow you.

@darwonboy I always enjoy what you share on X, but we're not connected yet. I've tried several times to follow you, but it's not going through. Would you mind trying from your side? I'd be happy if we could be friends. If this message sounds embarrassing, please pardon my manner🙌

I did not realise they were taxing gross rather than net gains… AFR: Investors with diversified share portfolios making a mix of gains and losses compared to inflation could face tax rates of more than 100 per cent on real gains, due to the Albanese government not compensating investors for underperforming stocks. A former senior Treasury tax official and a hedge fund manager both warned that people with a diversified portfolio of shares could face tax rates 50 per cent higher than Treasury calculated… Chalmers’ office and Treasury were contacted for comment on Thursday about whether real losses would be indexed to inflation. Under another example, an investor buys shares in Coles and Woolworths, with one outperforming inflation and the other underperforming inflation. The overall real return is zero after inflation, but the investor would pay tax on the winning stock. If an investor instead bought an ETF of supermarkets with the same overall result, they would pay no tax. afr.com/policy/tax-and…

Exactly. There's an extremely obvious band that x4p has been trading within. The funny thing is that while retail sits and watches these period of range bound price action, the traders and institutions love it. They will be putting long orders in at the bottom of the range and sells in at the top and using a little bit of leverage are probably scooping 30% profit margins every time.

Stuff that triangle where it fits. Looks so dramatic like a breakdown. It is just trading sideways in a band and has done so for 3 months.

Things people did in 1965 without thinking about them. Skipping breakfast when they weren't hungry. Now: "intermittent fasting." Requires an app, a podcast, a wearable, and a £40 hardback explaining what your great-grandfather did for free on a Tuesday. Drinking water from the tap. Now: reverse-osmosis filtered, remineralised, sold in glass bottles at £4.50 a litre because the tap is, apparently, suspect. Going outside without sunscreen. Now: "irresponsible UV exposure." SPF 30 daily, year-round, including overcast February mornings in Glasgow, where the UV index is roughly that of a filing cabinet. Walking somewhere. Now: a logged step count, a target heart rate zone, carbon-plated trainers, and a recovery protocol for the walk to Sainsbury's. Cold houses in winter. Now: "thermal stress." Replaced with a smart thermostat holding 22°C year-round, then sold back at £3,200 as a cold plunge tub to deliberately recreate the conditions everyone hated in 1973. Eating three eggs for breakfast. Now: "dietary cholesterol risk." Triggers a lipid panel and a frank conversation about your "egg habit," conducted by a doctor who hasn't been told the 2015 retraction happened. Eating butter. Now: "saturated fat exposure." Triggers a leaflet for a plant spread containing fourteen ingredients, none of them dairy and none of them recent. Children playing outside until the streetlights came on. Now: "unsupervised outdoor risk." Requires a GPS tracker, a registered childminder, and a parental anxiety app, none of which existed when your mother was, at nine, climbing a tree two miles from home with a penknife in her pocket. Three meals a day at a table with the family. Now: a "structured eating window" and a "social connection intervention," delivered by a £140-an-hour behavioural psychologist suggesting you eat dinner with your wife. A 55-year-old man lifting his own shopping into the boot. Now: a "functional fitness goal," six-week programme, personal trainer named Jason. The default conditions of 1965 produced a population that was, on every available measure, leaner, fitter, more fertile, better slept, and considerably less anxious than the population of 2026. The cure isn't a product. The cure is the protocol they were already running. Tap water. Real butter. Three eggs. Sunlight on skin. Walking because you needed to be somewhere. Cold houses in winter and open windows in summer. Dinner at a table. A child outdoors until dark. None of it was branded. None of it was monetised. All of it worked. Take it back. It costs nothing. It was yours the whole time.

@Cryptoinsightuk I feel sorry for the people that listen to these corrupt frauds.

Feels like it could be time

Biggest mistake I see in crypto right now: people argue BTC bottoms at 40K or 50K, then refuse to buy when we touch the 200W SMA at 61K (soon 63K) because it's "not cheap enough." The 200W SMA is the buy zone. DCA when we touch it. Don't wait for a number you made up.

@mase_the @Ryandally08 Whats your opinion of Anthony Albanese?

@darwonboy @Ryandally08 Yeah, nah. That was just pathetic

#BREAKING Pauline Hanson and a reporter from Adelaide get into a terse exchange where Hanson explodes and calls her a “nasty bitch” Hanson’s media manager then tells the reporter to “shut up” Signalling One Nation will no longer be taking cheap shots from the far left radical media.

Mean while Raul sells Solana and rotates into sui and regularly belittles people for "holding bags full of shit" and for not taking profits. I like Raul and find him entertaining but like everyone he's got his angles that he's working so you have to filter his advice and adapt it to your personal circumstances

😳 RAOUL PAL JUST DROPPED A BOMB ON THE $100 TRILLION FUTURE... Do you Believe Him? “If we go from 2.5 Trillion to 100 Trillion, what the hell would you sell? The answer is: NOTHING.” This is why you don’t sell the generational bull run. Mind = officially blown. Who else is never selling?

Reposting this to demonstrate the level of mouth breathing ideologues that we are living amongst here in Australia. Here's screen shots of the "savage comebacks" these feeble flogs leave under my posts. They imediately block you so you dont intrude on their delusional circle jerk echo chamber. The Tim Carcosa character doesn't even know that the OP was a woman......

@GreenTyler27 And the leftist claim they are all about democracy........

Would we expect anything else? When a growing political movement is denied the staffing and institutional support required to function properly, Australians should ask why. A democracy is meant to respect the will of voters; not protect the existing power structure from growing competition. One Nation’s rise is being met with resistance because the establishment understands that Australians are looking for an alternative. An uneven playing field does not strengthen democracy; it weakens public trust in it. Regardless of a persons political persuasion, Australians should expect all elected parties to be treated fairly and resourced appropriately so the voices of their voters are properly represented in Parliament.

@ausstockchick The greens wont be hapoy until everything in Australia is owned by the government and we are all equally poor.

The Greens are saying they would remove the grandfathering element from the budget. Sounds to me like they won’t really oppose the changes. #auspol

@saltwatercroc45 @ausstockchick Lol!

@ausstockchick I think you mean *grandpersoning 😂

@a_nnyer @saltysa20312181 @k_eagar Oh well, it seems they have already blocked me. They must have finished beating their tiny peepees off over insulting people they dont know on the internet.

Look at his profile, he quite obviously has serious issues. Any response triggers him/her to shotgun shit post. Its the typical pattern of behaviour for someone thars just looking for dopamine hits. Zero intellectual contribution to the world. I dont usually like to block people but this one is a special case.

Can someone please explain in simple language why Australia shouldn't ban short term rentals like Airbnb? If we did that, it would free up literally thousands of houses and bring them back into the rental market & discourage investors owning multiple short term rental properties
