@fazdogfotog@PunishedJeanLuc@JEChalmers This is exactly what we've all been banging on about. This is harmful tax policy to the people it claims to be helping the most. We are being gaslit by Labor amid their rampant spending and some seem to be lapping it up willfully.
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

@AlboMP What, you mean $250? How wonderful. I'll definitely be able to buy a house now. Oh wait, no I won't because I'll be paying more capital gains on the investments that were going to become my deposit. A potted palm tree would make a better prime minister than you. What a dickhead.
@AlboMP Tax gas you dick head, or at least tax your own gaslighting. Probably a fortune to be made from either. These changes will not make housing more affordable, they will make everything less affordable as we will ALL be paying more tax. You are Leninist scum. Get out.
@ClareONeilMP Labor doesn't want to tax gas because they think it might apply to their gaslighting operations, so they tax the people instead and carry on.
Labor’s kryptonite.
Once the everyday Australians start running the numbers for themselves, the spell will break. This isn’t just hedge funds and billionaires objecting anymore, it’s ordinary investors, tradies, retirees and small business owners realising inflationary gains are being taxed as real wealth. This will be politically lethal.
@TheTinyHomePro@toiletpaperaus1 The facts are in the budget itself. People below the 30% read bracket will now pay at least 30% on the whole gain vs say 19% on half of it. If you don't invest, these changes will have no effect on you, quite obviously, but you will remain poor because your not investing.
@_Checkmatey_@AlboMP Don't use the word frank. You might give him the idea of coming after franking credits next. What a blatant revenue grab this is disguised as tax reform. It's disgusting how this will add years to my plan to buy my first home and it's touted as helping first home buyers.
@ErichTheFish@ausstockchick By that logic, every time you lose money all your peers should bail you out too. You're sounding like a communist with this comment. Are you one?
@nocoint@ausstockchick All of those professions you mentioned can and do invest to try to get ahead. I invest and I'm a gardener. It's prudent to do this and now the gains are lessened.
@TasmanianBeaut@ausstockchick Wouldn't that achieve the desired outcome? Lowering property prices in comparison to wages, as the incentive to speculate would be removed. Furthermore, the ability to save for a deposit could continue to be done through investment in other markets.
@_Checkmatey_ Do you think this is a direct attempt to capture Aussie's Bitcoin profits? They're aware it isn't going away now, and so they have reconfigured the tax system to capture the upside without creating their own sovereign stash? CGT should remain unchanged on other assets, surely.
