    ◼️ Why it creates forced selling, liquidity traps and exit taxes

    ◼️ The global shift toward taxing paper profits

    ◼️ How similar proposals have already surfaced in Australia

    ◼️ Why superannuation rules are shifting towards higher taxes and lower returns

    ◼️ How migration, debt and policy failures are driving these tax grabs

    Wall Street came closer than anyone realises to taking control of Bitcoin through a bill most people never read. In this new episode, Matt breaks down how the Clarity Act almost reshaped crypto custody forever, why the vote was pulled at the last minute, and how Australia’s 2027 surveillance regime fits into the same push for control.

    ◼️ Why banks pushed for custody control and how it sidelines crypto‑native companies

    ◼️ The surprising crypto leaders who supported the bill and the backlash that followed

    ◼️ How Australia’s 2027 reporting regime creates total visibility over every crypto transaction

    ◼️ What self‑custody, offshore structures, and tax residency shifts actually mean in practice

  • #157 - Iran's Currency Collapsed 97%. Which Country Is Next?

    On December 28th, 2025, an Iranian man's life savings became worthless overnight while his neighbor who held Bitcoin woke up a millionaire. Could this happen in Australia? With inflation eroding purchasing power, wealthy Australians fleeing, and government debt rising, the warning signs are impossible to ignore.

    In this episode, Matt reveals:

    ◼️ How Iran's currency lost 97.5% of its value in under a month and what triggered the collapse

    ◼️ The alarming parallels between Iran's crisis and Australia's current economic trajectory

    ◼️ Why 35,000+ wealthy Australians earning over $100K left the country last year

    ◼️ How Bitcoin serves as a hedge against currency debasement and inflation
