The Australian government just put forward sweeping changes to the capital gains tax system.
They pitched it under the guise of helping young people access afforable housing.
I ran the numbers, and undeniably, the policy harms, not helps young Aussies.

With fuel stations running dry across Australia and farmers warning of empty supermarket shelves from diesel shortages, I get a distinct feeling of COVID déjà vu.
Could we soon see COVID-style government interventions: movement restrictions, rationing, and lockdowns to ‘manage’ the crisis?
No surely that’s just another “conspiracy theory”!

Blind Australian kids are being cut out of the NDIS while the worst scammers in the world abuse the scheme to incinerate billions in taxpayer money.
Help @PeteZogoulas and I clean up this mess. Petition here: https://t.co/OXTVwctofS
Drew Pavlou and Pete Zogoulas just released the most damning piece of investigative journalism Australia has produced in years.
Minnesota’s disability fraud broke the internet. Australia’s makes it look small.
The NDIS is a $52 billion/year program, the 3rd largest expense on the federal budget and larger than Australia’s entire defence budget.
In Lakemba there are 1,300 registered providers. Statistically, 1 in every 3 people is running one.
The investigation shows 9 providers sharing a single building address. Every door was locked across multiple visits. Phone numbers disconnected, websites broken or gone entirely.
They then set up a cleaning sting by hiring an NDIS registered cleaning provider; the kind billing directly out of disabled people’s government support packages.
Two cleaners show up to a staged Airbnb with zero equipment. They clean with the room’s own tissue box and leave in 25 minutes. Invoice: $236. That includes 2 hours labour at $116 and $120 in “travel costs” claiming 60km when the actual distance was 30km.
When confronted, the provider reissues it at $24.80.
Then there’s M&F Disability Services. They received a lifetime ban from the NDIS in September 2025 for fraud.
Within weeks, Sunny Days Care opens at the exact same address, on the exact same phone number, with the same accountant connected to both entities through ASIC records.
When Drew and Pete walk in and ask questions, staff physically assault them, smash $800 worth of equipment, and scream sexual harassment allegations on a public street.
The NDIS integrity chief told the Australian Senate that there are literally not enough judges to deal with the known fraud cases (we’re talking tens of billions).
Out of 7,000 fraud tip offs from participants reporting their own providers, only 16 prosecutions have been completed.
16 out of 7,000.
Aren’t you delighted that your hard-earned tax dollars pay for the hair extensions, false eyelashes & acrylic nails of these lovely, calm, kind NDIS providers?

Holy sh*t.
Stop what you’re doing. Give yourself 3
minutes. Listen to this.
Marco Rubio 2015.
He called it.
He called it word for word, like a play-by-play.
I'm a currency strategist at Treasury.
Yesterday the dollar hit a four-year low.
Worst single day since April.
Down 9% for the year.
Weakest since 2022.
The President said "I think it's great."
He's right.
It is great.
For us.
There's a document.
You probably haven't read it.
It's called "A User's Guide to Restructuring the Global Trading System."
We call it the Mar-a-Lago Accord.
It was written by the guy who now sits on the Federal Reserve.
Before that, he ran the Council of Economic Advisors.
The document says to weaken the dollar.
On purpose.
As policy.
We did.
The thesis is simple.
A strong dollar makes American exports expensive.
A weak dollar makes them cheap.
If we want factories, we need a cheap currency.
If we need a cheap currency, we need to devalue.
If we need to devalue, we need to do it slowly.
So nobody notices.
Until they do.
Yesterday they noticed.
Swiss Franc hit 15-year highs.
Gold hit all-time highs.
The yen strengthened.
The euro strengthened.
Everything strengthened.
Except us.
That's the plan.
People ask if I'm worried.
About the decline.
About what it means.
I say I'm "constructive."
Constructive means the plan is working.
Here's what nobody tells you about currencies.
They're not markets.
They're policies.
Central banks don't observe exchange rates.
They create them.
The rate check we did on January 23rd?
That wasn't observation.
That was intervention.
We called the trading desks.
We asked for prices.
The market understood.
The dollar dropped.
Mission accomplished.
The Secretary wants a weaker dollar.
The President wants a weaker dollar.
The Accord says weaker dollar.
Everyone agrees.
Except the people holding dollars.
But they don't vote on currency policy.
They just experience it.
---
Let me tell you what a weaker dollar means for you.
Everything imported costs more.
Your purchasing power declines.
Your savings buy less.
Your vacation is more expensive.
Your electronics cost more.
Your gas costs more.
Your groceries cost more.
That's not inflation.
That's "competitiveness."
---
In 1971, Nixon ended the gold standard.
He said it was temporary.
Fifty-five years ago.
Still temporary.
Back then, one dollar bought one dollar's worth of goods.
Today, that same dollar buys 12.5 cents worth.
We've devalued 87.5%.
Over 55 years.
At 3.85% per year.
Compounding.
---
700% cumulative inflation.
That's not a bug.
That's a feature.
Debt becomes cheaper to repay.
Wages lag behind prices.
Assets appreciate.
If you own things, you win.
If you earn things, you lose.
That's monetary policy.
---
The national debt is 100% of GDP.
It'll be 134% by 2035.
You know how you pay down 134% of GDP in debt?
You don't.
You inflate it away.
You devalue the currency it's denominated in.
You make the number smaller by making the unit smaller.
That's not default.
That's "monetary flexibility."
---
Consumer confidence just hit 2014 lows.
People feel something is wrong.
They can't articulate it.
They just know things cost more.
They know their paycheck goes less far.
They know something broke.
Nothing broke.
This is the machine working.
---
89% of economists agree.
If the Fed loses independence, risk premiums go up.
Treasury yields spike.
Borrowing costs explode.
Growth slows.
So we're very careful.
We don't say we're taking independence.
We say we're "rethinking coordination."
Same outcome.
Different press release.
---
The President said he could move the dollar "like a yo-yo."
Up or down.
He's not wrong.
Currency is a policy lever.
We pull it.
You feel it.
---
Sweden's pension funds are selling Treasuries.
Denmark's pension funds are selling Treasuries.
China is selling Treasuries.
They're buying gold instead.
Smart.
They read the Accord.
---
There's a term in the markets now.
"Sell America."
It means foreign investors are reducing exposure.
To our stocks.
To our bonds.
To our currency.
They see what we're doing.
They're protecting themselves.
You should too.
But we won't tell you that.
---
The dollar is the world's reserve currency.
For now.
The Accord says we can keep that status.
While also devaluing.
Having it both ways.
That's the theory.
We'll see about the practice.
---
Gold at $5,000.
Silver at $110.
Bitcoin at whatever Bitcoin is at.
These aren't bubbles.
These are exit signs.
People are leaving the dollar.
Not because they hate America.
Because they read the policy.
---
I'm updating my LinkedIn.
"Led currency transformation at Treasury."
Transformation is accurate.
We transformed the dollar.
From strong.
To competitive.
---
The President says the dollar is "doing great."
He means it.
It's doing exactly what we wanted.
Going down.
On schedule.
According to plan.
---
Your savings are doing less great.
But nobody asked you.
---
I have a chart on my wall.
Purchasing power of the dollar since 1913.
It starts at 100.
It ends at 3.
A 97% decline.
Over 113 years.
I look at it every morning.
And I think:
We have 3% left to go.
---
The dollar is doing great.
Exactly as designed.
You just weren't supposed to notice.
Until it was done.
---
You noticed.
But it's already done.
It was done in 1971.
Everything since then has been execution.
Slow.
Steady.
Relentless.
3.85% per year.
Compounding.
For 55 years.
And counting.
---
"I think it's great."
That's what he said.
That's what we think.
That's what the Accord says.
That's what the policy achieves.
The dollar is doing exactly what it's supposed to.
Declining.
Slowly.
So slowly you think it's natural.
It's not.
It's policy.
---
My bonus is paid in dollars.
But I keep it in gold.
---
That's the difference between making policy.
And living under it.
“Why don’t more women athletes speak up?”
This is why 👇
When World Surf League was putting a man in a bikini in the woman’s category, they made women surfers sign a contract saying they would say nothing negative about it or be fined $10,000.
INCORRECT. WRONG. FALSE.
It’s normal for one to believe BTC can be “cracked” by quantum computing. I understand. The media also brainwashed people into taking an experimental vaccine and had people wearing masks inside their cars but I digress.
Here are the facts.
There are no quantum computers today, or on any realistic 10–20-year horizon, that can maintain error corrected logical qubits at the scale required to attack SHA-256 or secp256k1. Which is the cryptographic backbone of Bitcoin. Even if you had a perfect 1 GHz quantum clock, it would take longer than the age of the universe. We are talking millions of logical qubits, not “lab qubits.” Breaking ECDSA would require around 2,500 logical qubits (error-free) to attack one key. IBM’s roadmap? 1,000 qubits by 2033. Google’s Sycamore-2? 70+ physical qubits. We are off by 9 orders of magnitude and still fighting decoherence at milliseconds. Wait…I forgot. Even if the math were possible, the timing window kills the attack. Bitcoin uses one time exposure for public keys.
Even Google and IBM are barely stabilizing hundreds of noisy qubits for nanoseconds.
That’s like claiming you can detonate the moon because you built a sparkler.
That’s like me saying a gold asteroid can land on earth or we are going to mine it in space. Companies like AstroForge and TransAstra are literally prototyping extraction systems. Although. Gold. It can be made in a lab already too.
Look at diamonds. Those are made in labs now. We already synthesize gold in particle accelerators by bombarding mercury with neutrons. Look it up. Golds limit is engineering cost, not PHYSICS. Or vortex math.
That’s the same slope that turned diamonds from “rare” to “retail.” I attached an image. 50 years ago, De Beers made people believe diamonds were eternal and scarce. Then lab-grown diamonds arrived chemically identical, optically flawless, and 90 % cheaper. The moment people realized they could make “rarity” on demand, the myth collapsed. YOUR GOLD IS NEXT.
Even if a quantum threat emerged in 2045, Bitcoin could harden its cryptography before a single satoshi moves.
Meanwhile, gold’s only defense against dilution is hope.
Gold’s scarcity is geological. It’s bound by planetary discovery. Gold’s entire monetary mythology rests on perceived scarcity.
Bitcoin’s scarcity is mathematical. It’s bound by consensus rules that don’t bend to politics or exploration.
Gold supply only expands. It never contracts.
Bitcoin supply is mathematically capped and upgradeable at the protocol level.
If humanity finds ten trillion dollars of new gold, value dilutes.
If humanity builds faster compute, Bitcoin’s security adjusts, difficulty rises, not falls. The network GETS STRONGER!!!!!!
That’s a self-correcting scarcity, not a mined one. Gold is not energy.
Bitcoin is software.
If credible quantum capability emerged, developers would soft fork to post-quantum cryptography
You’d spend more energy breaking Bitcoin than Bitcoin’s entire global mining network consumes securing it. GAME THEORY.
Bitcoin’s entropy per private key = 2²⁵⁶
There are 10⁷⁷ atoms in the universe.
That’s 10⁵¹ × more possible private keys than physical matter.
Bitcoin is just math.
To “crack” Bitcoin, quantum tech would have to do what physics forbids: maintain perfect coherence across billions of qubits, for hours, with zero error, and infinite energy.
1. SHA-256 = functionally quantum-immune.
2. ECDSA = not practically attackable for > 50 years.
Bitcoin’s scarcity doesn’t depend on geology. It’s hard coded mathematics.
There are 21 million, not 21 million ± 5 % depending on excavation budgets.
No new discovery can inflate its supply.
That is the difference between conditional scarcity and absolute scarcity.
Gold is valuable because of atoms.
Bitcoin is valuable because of math.
Atoms can be cloned…math cannot.
HASH-DOLLAR-ERA
MONETARY WAR 2.0
MONEY IS ENERGY
ENERGY NEEDS A LEDGER.
THAT IS BITCOIN.
GOD BLESS AMERICA 🇺🇸
If you missed it. This is Kemi Badenoch's response to Rachel Reeves' disaster budget *in full*.
I've never seen anything like it. Kemi tears her to shreds.
This is absolutely brutal.
Well worth a watch 🔥
ANDREW TATE: HYPERLIQUIDATED
Andrew Tate deposited a total of $727K to Hyperliquid and as of today, has lost it all - without making a single withdrawal.
He also claimed a total of $75K as referral rewards from traders using his reflink. He has lost all of that trading as well.
