Absolutely crazy what’s happening in Australia right now.

Going down hill and fast.

[Ben Simpson @BenSlmpsonua]

Literally scrubbing piss off the floor of a plane..

this is why we can’t have good things.

A few years ago, I was researching Bitcoin from my bedroom in Tasmania.

Today, I spent the day meeting with some of the largest investment firms in New York.

One of them manages over $13.5 billion.

It’s hard not to be humbled by the scale.

The buildings.

The people.

The capital.

The ambition.

But what excites me most is that despite all of that, we’re still incredibly early.

The conversations happening around AI, digital assets and the future of investing are only just beginning.

Days like today remind me why I love building.

You start with an idea.

Then a community.

Then a company.

And one day you find yourself sitting across the table from people managing billions of dollars discussing where the world is heading next.

I’m more excited than ever about what we’re building and what we’ll be launching over the next few months.

Feeling grateful for the journey

Australia's tax prison just got even worse for investors.

Take an ice cube out of the freezer, put it on the bench, walk away.

By the time you're back it's a puddle.

That's your wealth held in fiat, and it used to take hours to melt, now it takes minutes.

The $500k you held in 2020 buys about $350k of life today.

The reason isn't bad luck. They've gutted the 50% capital gains discount, the marginal brackets haven't moved with inflation, and 40% of all US dollars in existence were printed in the last two years.

You're running harder on the treadmill just to stand in the same spot.

Most people respond by chasing more income or another property deposit, priced in the same currency that's quietly dying, on the same 60/40 plan their advisor read out of a 40-year-old book.

The gap is structure, where you hold the wealth you've already built, and most people don't even know it exists.

I just recorded a full breakdown covering:

- The Bitcoin treasury structure I run personally, the one MicroStrategy uses
- Company vs SMSF, and why your personal name is the worst place to hold
- How to stack, hold and lend so $1 compounds toward $4 without triggering CGT

Meeting with Fidelity Ventures today, one of the largest crypto friendly wealth managers in the world here in Boston.

Just a wild experience to actually be in the room where the biggest crypto funds are making moves. Pumped.

The new Australian Tax changes for Investors are absolutely diabolical.

As an Australian, in the U.S witnessing this, and the complete disconnect to what has been promised by the government and what has been delivered.

The ‘every day Aussie’ has not been helped at all here.

The only winner is the Australian Government, once again.

[Ben Simpson @BenSlmpsonua]

Consistency is the key 🔑 💥

Really interested in this way of living man

Everyone is facing the same investing problem right now.

US. Australia. UK. Doesn't matter where you are.

Your purchasing power is being quietly stolen. Every year. Automatically.

Here's what's actually happening - and what I'm doing about it.

Cost of living is up. Wages aren't keeping up.

Tech stocks are selling off as AI wipes out entire industries.

And US debt just crossed $38 trillion - with no plan to stop.

The money system isn't broken. It's working exactly as designed. Just not for you.

The old 80/20 portfolio - stocks and bonds - was built for a world that no longer exists.

Stable inflation. Rising real wages. Predictable markets.

Gone.

And most people are still using a 1990s playbook in 2026.

Where does your capital actually go to protect and grow your wealth right now?

Not stocks. Not cash. Not bonds.

Those are the assets being devalued.

Bitcoin has a fixed supply. 21 million. Ever.

It can't be printed. No government controls it. No central bank can devalue it.

Nothing in traditional finance comes close.

The new generation of investing doesn't look like your parents' financial advisor's spreadsheet.

The model has to adapt.

I've been building my wealth in Bitcoin for 9 years.

And through Collective Shift, I'm helping investors around the world do the same.

That's the mission. Onwards. 🚀

[Ben Simpson @BenSlmpsonua]

Most people DCA into Bitcoin wrong.

Flat weekly buys. Same amount. Every week.

That works if you're putting in $100 a week.

At $50K+ it's a completely different game.

Range-based accumulation is what we use at Collective Shift.

When Bitcoin sits around the 200-week moving average or the MVRV ratio signals cycle lows, we buy more.

Not less.

Right now we're sitting in that range.

Then there's allocation.

The question isn't "I've got $100K, what do I buy?"

It's "what % of my total net worth should sit in digital assets?"

That reframe changes everything.

Fees. Some exchanges charge 3% spreads on every trade.

If you're deploying real capital, that's tens of thousands disappearing quietly.

And tax. Every swap is taxable. Every sale is taxable.

How you structure holdings matters more than most people realise.

Just spent the morning walking around New York trying to figure out where we'd stay as we keep growing the business out here.

The wealth gap is genuinely unreal.

Anything under $10K USD a month pretty average and A decent apartment runs $15K minimum.

The amount of capital flowing through this place is hard to wrap your head around. And then you look at the people actually living here and one thing becomes obvious very fast.

There is no way you generate a normal income and live in a city like this.

The math just doesn't work.

Everyone you see in nice apartments, mid-week lunches, restaurants on a Tuesday at 11am, they're doing one of three things:

1. Building a business
2. Investing aggressively
3. Both

That's the entire list (or were born into money)

The real reason wealth gets built isn't a salary. It never was.

It's owning things that compound while you sleep. Businesses. Equity. Property. Bitcoin. Digital assets.

Walking through New York is the clearest live demo I've seen of what "ownership beats income" actually looks like at scale.

Just touched down in Boston to kick off our North America expansion! 🇺🇸

Hosting our first Collective Shift Investor & Partnership Roadshow tomorrow night. 14 in the room. Investors, wealth advisors, private bankers, family office principals.

[Ben Simpson @BenSlmpsonua]

Absolutely crazy to be sitting in New York in my hotel room, looking out over Central Park.

I've dreamt about building a business in the US for as long as I can remember. And now I'm here. Doing it.

It feels real. It also feels astonishingly hard.

Back home in Australia

BREAKING:

🇺🇸 Saylor's $MSTR buys $2.54 BILLION worth of Bitcoin.

[Ben Simpson @BenSlmpsonua]

@grok you know the trend on this chart ?

[Ted @TedPillows]

$BTC is still in a downtrend.

The current rally is just a bull trap, not a new bull market.

[Ben Simpson @BenSlmpsonua]

RUSSELL 2000 JUST LIT THE FUSE FOR BITCOIN.

Small caps leading.
Liquidity rotating into higher beta.
Bitcoin follows harder.

Every. Single. Time.
Signal already fired.

History says Bitcoin doesn't wait long.

Slow catch-up or full force breakout?
Either way Bitcoin is next.

[Ben Simpson @BenSlmpsonua]

THEY SET THE TRAP. RETAIL IS WALKING RIGHT IN.

Same script. Every cycle.

Fake push up. Confidence returns.
Late buyers pile in. Then the rug.

Smart money doesn't chase green candles.
They create them.

Are you the hunter or the hunted?
