If you only do one thing today, tweet some kind of support for @RepThomasMassie he is the main guy pushing for the release of the Epstein files and Trump hates him for it.
Diesel is going up 10 cents a litre per day in many parts of Australia right now.
$4 a litre is no longer a worst case scenario. It's a matter of when. That's $200 to fill a 50 litre tank. For tradies, farmers and small business owners running diesel vehicles — do the maths on what that does to your week.
And that's before we talk about rent.
Over the last 5 years, Australian rents have increased by 42.9%. Not a typo. Nearly 43%. The national median rent is now $681 a week. For a lot of Australians, running your car is now equal to or greater than what you're paying to keep a roof over your head.
You know what they say about animals when they're cornered?
They attack.
So I'll ask the question — what is the pain point? At what level of suffering do everyday Australians stand up and say this system isn't working and hasn't been working for a long time?
There are well intentioned people in parliament. David Pocock is one of them. But he can't be our PM unless he joins a major party — and the moment he does, he has to toe the party line. Parties that don't feel any of this pain. They don't pay for their own fuel. They get a pay rise every year regardless of performance. And that's before we get into jobs for mates and the kind of "legal" corruption that nobody seems to want to name for what it is.
Imagine if a major mining company ran out of fuel and the mines stopped. Someone would lose their job. Accountability would follow.
In politics? The business can be failing ordinary Australians for decades and nobody loses a thing — because it's failing "others." We are the others.
Their answer to all of this is more taxes.
I don't claim to have all the answers. But I know what I'd like to see — a government that comes back to actually looking after Australians. Not the donors. Not the lobbyists. Not the party. Australians.
We deserve better than this.

gold up 137% since the QT even though most thought gold was topped because of its ath in usd.
but gold priced against equities was telling a far different stories and as crazy as it sounds there is room for higher.
gold at 10k over the next few yrs is not a fairytale story, its a likely inevitability.
and its not constrained to gold, this trend is true for all commodities, silver, copper, uranium, iron, coal, gas, energy

🚨 WHY IS BITCOIN DOWN -30% FROM ITS PEAK WHILE GOLD AND SILVER ARE GOING PARABOLIC?
Because Gold and Silver tops first, then Bitcoin starts its rally.
Here is what happened last time 👇
After the March 2020 crash, the Fed injected massive liquidity into the system. The first assets to react were gold and silver.
- Gold rallied from around $1,450 to $2,075 by August 2020.
- Silver rallied from around $12 to $29 in the same period.
During this entire move, Bitcoin did almost nothing. BTC stayed stuck around $9,000-$12,000 for 5 months.
This was also after a major liquidation event which happened in March 2020 due to COVID.
Gold and silver peaked in August 2020 and money started rotating into risk assets.
This is when Bitcoin started moving.
From August 2020 to May 2021:
- Bitcoin went from $12,000 to $64,800 (nearly 5.5x).
- Total crypto market cap went up almost 8x by mid-2021.
Now look at today.
- Gold is again near record highs, around $4,550.
- Silver has surged to around $80.
Both are clearly moving first.
Bitcoin meanwhile is mostly moving sideways. Just like it was in mid-2020.
We also had another large liquidation event recently on October 10th, similar to March 2020. And once again, Bitcoin has spent months moving slowly after that.
The difference this time is important.
In 2020, liquidity from the Fed was the main catalyst.
In 2026, there are multiple catalysts lining up at the same time:
- The Fed has already started injecting liquidity again.
- Rate cuts are expected to continue.
- Banks may get SLR exemptions, allowing more leverage.
- Crypto regulation clarity is improving.
- The Trump administration is planning for dividend cheques.
- More spot crypto ETFs, especially altcoin ETFs, are expected.
- Large asset managers now have easy crypto access.
- A new Pro Crypto Fed Chair is coming, and markets will front-run policy changes.
Last cycle, Bitcoin rallied mainly because of liquidity. This time, liquidity plus structure is coming together.
The setup looks very similar, but with more fuel. Gold and silver moving first is not bearish for crypto.
Historically, it has been the early signal.
If this pattern repeats, Bitcoin and crypto markets do not lead first. They move after the metals pause.
That is why the current sideways action in BTC is not the start of the bear market, but rather a calm before the storm.
