If you’re not yet into Bitcoin and you’re aware the price is now at all time highs, don’t panic – you’re still very early. Education is so important around the basics of setting up your wallet, watching out for scams, and making sure you have some sort of game plan.

When you come from nothing, the only sure-fire way to catch up to where you need to be, is to work harder than everyone else, and use leverage. If you can use other people’s money, with permission of course, and you make some correct assumptions about the future, you might be able build more, with less. Whatever the outcome, it’s more with leverage. Read more.

Today, I’m grateful to be speaking with Ian Woolford, the head of money and cash at the Reserve Bank of NZ.

Central Bank Digital Currency, branded as 'digital cash' by the RBNZ, has the potential to give the banking scene the boot up the backside we desperately need. One step further, trillions of dollars of assets migrating into the digital ecosystem (which is what CBDC's help facilitate) will usher in the most significant changes to wealth we've EVER seen.

We’re so optimised for facts, that we’ve forgotten about meaning. The inability to hold a contrarian view may blindness, or extremist views like believing in a flat earth, or that you can trust the government!

Anyway, will central bank digital currencies destroy your retirement plan? The answers not 'no'...
