20+ years building an Australia wide business. Great knowledge of business, start-up, systemization, and exit strategies. Focus on employee incentive programs.

Speaking to business brokers in my area confirms what I was suspecting. Massve numbers of migrants are buying businesses as a straight shot into Australian migration and jobs for their family.
Now please note! I am not saying that this is a bad thing!
Just pointing the detail out as interesing.
At least a migrants family thats coming here and buying a business is being a useful and productive addition to the local area and the economy.

Reading all the comments made me sad and realize we are in a worse position than I expected. Many people still have no idea what XRP and the XRPL actually represent and what they were built for.

It's 2026, other chains have billions in liquidity, stablecoins, stocks, commodities, other RWAs, advanced DeFi protocols, lending, perps... and the XRPL ecosystem is still debating on if bringing more assets to XRPL is good for XRP. I have always called out the bs and I will do it once more, many have been brainwashed by the scamfluencers and the youtubers believing into nonsense theories, crazy price predictions, and whatever fake hopium they are giving them.

XRP doesn't different than other L1 coins, it's all about network effects, it's all about the Internet of Value, which still many people don't seem to get. No liquidity, quality assets, serious builders, consumer apps = nothing significant happening for XRP. Price increase only comes from demand, and to create sustaianble demand for XRP you need real liquidity, real apps, with real activity that work for everyone, not just institutions and flashy news that offer nothing important to the network.

We went to the usa in 2018 and even though we only had time to see California and a quick trip to Vegas and the grand canyon I loved it. I 2asnt overly fond of la or the California scenery and beaches. what I lived was the American people, their "go-getter" vibe and also (surprisingly seeing as i wasi California with its woke politics) I found most people i spoke to were really down to earth, prafmatic and conservative. They approached life with a sense of personal freedom and a lack of judgement of others that I really enjoyed. This was reflected in the policing of things like road rules. As an example it was common to be driving on the motorway in LA and have every single car around us doing at least 10mph over the posted speed limit and see a police car pull over a driver for doing under the limit and causing disruption, not the people who were (safely) speeding. It was an application of adult common sense and practicality that made me feel at home there. Another example was when I was walking down a main street in LA and I saw an awesome, restored and modified chev chevelle at the trafic lights. It was rumbling and making a beautiful sound and when the lights went green the driver gave the accelerator a little stab and spun the tyres a little bit and just generally enjoyed his cool car. In Australia this display would have been met with phone cameras held by Karen's sending the vudeo footage to their local community Facebook group with derisive comments about penis sizes and how this person should have his car crushed before he vomits mass murder. By comparison, un the usa, most people walking down the street looked and smiled, some cheered and waved and everyone genuinely enjoyed the awesome car for what it is. A rolling piece of art and someone's pride and joy.

Reality doesn't care about political gaslighting.

Labor politicians keep pushing the narrative that One Nation is backed by billionaires.

Yet Australian Electoral Commission data shows:
🔴 Labor: ~$480 million
🔵 Liberal/Coalition: ~$580 million
🟠 One Nation: ~$25 million

Labor received approximately 1,820% more funding than One Nation.

The Liberal/Coalition received approximately 2,220% more funding than One Nation.

Before believing political narratives, look at the numbers.

Facts matter.

I love this 'costed' red herring. Its so obvious that people like Pete prey upon the ignorance of their audience.

Who does the costing of policies Pete? Ahh, bureaucrats. NOT the parties themselves.

Who controls the bureaucrats Pete? Ahh, the government.l, and they won't allow ON to get their policies costed (mostly).

The LibLab duopoly have a cosy deal where they allow each other access to treasury and other departments for the purpose of costing policies even when in opposition.

But they don't allow ON the same courtesy do they Pete?

So who's fault is it that the policies haven't been costed Pete? (Actually some still have but that's another story.)

This is as lame as the 'they've never built a hospital' attack... of course not, they haven't been in government.

Honestly grow up. Stop insulting yourself and your followers with slop like this.

$ZEC and $NEAR are doing again. Totally running opposite to the rest of the market since Feb/March this year.
Zecash has blasted up another %16 in the last 24 hours and doesn't look like its going to stop.

Could these two tokens be front running the next bull run?

[Andrew Pearce 🇦🇺 🏁 @darwonboy]

@MinusWells Upcoming 3 year bear? Oh man please dont say its so. Everything i see is telling me we are at or near the bottom now like Oct to Dec 2022, and we should see upward movement begin at some stage in 2026.

Maybe if yhe ALP would stop trying to crush one nation with their corruption of our political system Pauline would have more time to go and sit all day in a room full of polished plastic wind bags ad they posture and shout at each other and generally waste time achieving nothing.
The ALP largely with the support of the LNP, have changed the rules of politics in australia to grossly and unfairly benefit the incumbent parties and stomp down on smaller parties. And now we hear that Albo is doing everything he can to restrict the staffing of one nation, further hindering one nations ability to grow.
People need to open their eyes and see whats being done to damage REAL democracy in Australia, particularly by the ALP.

There should be a law made that bans governments from being able to spend money from the public purse to basically buy votes.

If they want to make the cost of living better, they should be forced to look for ways to REDUCE the cost of living and REDUCE inflation.

Instead they always look at ways they can spend MORE money and raise more revenue through taxation (directly increases the cost of everything and reduces your spending power) and through government debt (raising monet to buy votes now that the future generatons have to pay back at high interest)

We amost nevver hear of gvernmets doing things like the following:

☆Reducing the over all tax burden
☆Cancelling taxes without introducing new ones
☆Reducing the size and cost of government and the public sector
☆Closing gvernment departments that carry out non-prodictive activities
☆Completing public projects early and UNDER budget
☆ Removing regulations
☆Disclosing vested interests, lobbyists, donors, benefactors etc etc prior to every policy decision they make.

Somehow as a nation, we have been conditioned to argue the pros and cons of new taxes and increases in the cost of living rather than discussing why these things even need to exist and who they are ultimately benefiting.

[Andrew Pearce 🇦🇺 🏁 @darwonboy]

Sorry but who is paying for these politicians to put out these cringe propaganda videos? Its quite obvious that these muppets have media teams that would be tax payer funded that they are using to make what is essentially advertisings to try to win votes. Where is the accounting for this. Will the other parties be able to access the same marketing resources and funding?
Something seriously stinks in Australian politicos and certain parties ability to promote themselves vastly more than their opponents

[Andrew Pearce 🇦🇺 🏁 @darwonboy]

Im not saying this didnt happen, because i know very well that there's been plenty of proven cases of this, particularly targettng xrp. But, if you are going to post things like this you need to actually expose the people trying to bribe you otherwise it just looks like engagement seeking.

@Belisarius2020 @ScamDetective5 Ive been thinking the same.

@sentosumosaba @Ripple Me too. Im tired of hearing about all these acquisitions and partners etc with trillions in annual transactions. I want to see things rally start to take off in regards to ledger traffic and tvl etc.

@Matt_Camenzuli The government should be fully focused on promoting people to move out to regional towns and cities instead of trying to cram more and more people into our major cities.

@goodfoodgal This will make it lees likely for women to find work in small to medium businesses. No one with a small team can afford to carry a non-productive wage expense for 6 months.
