The New Rich Academy Weekly Briefing #011

Australian property has always been treated as untouchable.

But what if one of Australia's most trusted investing beliefs has quietly stopped being true?

Property prices are falling.

Borrowing power is shrinking.

And the investors who prepared are seeing this market very differently from everyone else.

Markets don't usually ring a bell when something changes.

Australian property just proved that.

In this week's briefing, Troy breaks down what the Reserve Bank's latest decision means, why borrowing power is quietly disappearing, why Sydney and Melbourne are leading the declines, and why the property story isn't nearly as simple as the headlines suggest.

The New Rich Academy Briefing #010

$130 million in Bitcoin disappeared.

Not from an exchange.

Not because of malware.

Not because someone clicked the wrong link.

The attackers simply guessed the keys.

But here's the uncomfortable truth: this episode isn't really about Bitcoin security.

It's about something much bigger.

It's about what happens when everything depends on one basket.

In this week's briefing, Troy breaks down:

- How the ColdCard vulnerability happened
- Why this wasn't a Bitcoin failure
- Why updating your wallet isn't enough
- The mistake almost every investor makes
- Why diversification applies to security, not just investing

The real question isn't:

"Which wallet is safest?"

The real question is:

"What happens if this one thing fails?"

What do you think?

Do you trust self-custody more than exchanges?

The New Rich Academy Briefing #009 

For more than a decade, Bitcoin followed a pattern.

Every four years, the same cycle played out.

Investors came to rely on it.

Now, for the first time in Bitcoin's history, many believe that cycle has broken.

But has it?

In this week's Weekly Briefing, I unpack one of the biggest debates in Bitcoin today: whether the famous four-year cycle is truly dead, or simply evolving as Bitcoin matures.

⏱️ Timestamps
00:00 – Has Bitcoin's four-year cycle finally broken?
01:15 – The Fed decision everyone is watching
02:00 – How the four-year Bitcoin cycle works
03:45 – Why many believe the cycle is dead
05:00 – Michael Saylor's argument explained
05:45 – Has the cycle actually matured instead?
07:00 – My view on where Bitcoin goes from here
09:00 – The FTX repayments and the real lesson
10:20 – The quantum computing debate explained
13:10 – Gold update
13:55 – Australian property update
14:45 – This week's key takeaway

The real question isn't whether the cycle is dead.

It's whether you're relying on an old playbook in a market that's constantly evolving.

As always, this isn't about predicting the future.
It's about learning how to think.

👇 I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments:

Do you think the four-year Bitcoin cycle is dead, or is it simply maturing?

Before You Buy Bitcoin, Watch This

You're probably asking the wrong question about Bitcoin.

Most people are asking whether now is the right time to buy.

I think there's a better question.

What's actually driving Bitcoin's price?

This week, Bitcoin had its strongest run in months. Headlines credited ETF inflows, institutional buying and renewed optimism.

But the real story is much bigger than Bitcoin itself.

In this week's Weekly Briefing, I unpack:

✅ Why Bitcoin's latest rally may not mean what most people think
 ✅ What institutional money is really telling us
 ✅ Why professional forecasts are all over the place
 ✅ The growing conversation around quantum computing and Bitcoin
 ✅ Gold, silver and what's happening in the Australian property market

The goal isn't to predict where Bitcoin goes next.

It's to help you think differently about markets so you can make better long-term decisions.

The latest inflation report looked like great news.

Markets rallied.

Gold surged.

Michael Saylor built the largest corporate Bitcoin portfolio in the world.

So why was he forced to sell Bitcoin... at a loss?

In this week's New Rich Academy Briefing, Troy Harris unpacks one of the biggest investing stories of the year and explains why the real lesson has nothing to do with Bitcoin.

It's about understanding the difference between owning an asset... and owning a skill.

In this episode, Troy discusses:

• Why Michael Saylor sold Bitcoin despite his long-term conviction
• The hidden risks of relying on a single investment strategy
• Why markets fall faster than they rise
• The difference between investors and traders during volatile markets
• How AI is changing the future of investing and trading
• Why developing skills may be the greatest investment you ever make

The biggest takeaway?

Assets can be taken away.

Skills stay with you forever.

If you're interested in Bitcoin, investing, AI, wealth creation and building financial resilience, this episode is for you.

Should every investor learn how markets work in both directions, or is long-term investing enough?

Bitcoin is down. Gold is down. Property is down.

For most people, that's a reason to panic.

For long-term investors, it could be the time to prepare.

In this week's New Rich Academy Briefing, Troy Harris explains why all three major asset classes have fallen together, what's really driving the markets, and why periods like these often create the greatest opportunities for patient investors.

In this episode, Troy covers:

• Why Bitcoin, gold and property are all falling at the same time
• How higher interest rates are impacting every major asset class
• Why experienced investors think differently during market corrections
• The difference between price and long-term value
• Why conviction is built during bear markets—not bull markets
• Troy's simple strategy for preparing before opportunities appear

The biggest investing decisions aren't made when markets are booming.

They're made when everyone else is sitting on the sidelines.

Bitcoin is falling... and many investors are starting to panic.

I've been through enough market cycles to know that this is exactly when emotions take over—and when some of the best long-term opportunities begin to emerge.

In this week's New Rich Academy Briefing, I explain why I actually love bear markets, where I believe we are in Bitcoin's four-year cycle, and why successful long-term investors learn to zoom out instead of reacting to every price movement.

In this episode, I cover:

• Where we are in the current Bitcoin cycle
• Why bear markets don't worry me
• The biggest mistake long-term investors make
• How dollar-cost averaging ("Feeding the Beast") helps remove emotion from investing
• Why developments like Meta's blockchain initiatives continue to strengthen the long-term outlook for digital assets
• How to stay calm when everyone else is panicking

Markets are emotional.

Successful investing isn't.

If you're building wealth for the next 10 years—not the next 10 days—this episode is for you.

What are you doing during this bear market?

Buying? Holding? Or waiting on the sidelines?

Bitcoin has dropped sharply.

The headlines are filled with fear.

But what if this is exactly what long-term investors have been waiting for?

In this week's New Rich Academy Briefing, Troy Harris shares why Bitcoin's recent move lower isn't something he's panicking about — and why periods like these often create the biggest opportunities.

Drawing on previous Bitcoin cycles, Troy explains how he approaches market corrections, the role of dollar-cost averaging, and why understanding investor psychology matters more than ever.

In this episode:

• What Bitcoin's move to around US$61,000 could mean
• Why market pullbacks are a normal part of the cycle
• How Troy is thinking about accumulating Bitcoin
• The growing intersection between AI and cryptocurrency
• What the SpaceX buzz reveals about investor behaviour
• Why fear often creates opportunity for those willing to think long term

The biggest opportunities rarely arrive when everyone feels confident.

More often, they appear when fear is at its highest.

What are you doing in this market?

Waiting? Selling? Accumulating?

Most investors are waiting for certainty.

That could be the biggest mistake they make.

Troy Harris breaks down why higher interest rates, persistent inflation and tightening liquidity are creating an environment where some of the best opportunities are quietly building beneath the surface.

While many investors are sitting on the sidelines waiting for things to "feel safe again", history shows that real wealth is often built during periods of uncertainty.

In this episode, Troy shares:

• Why today's market conditions matter more than the headlines
• What Bitcoin's recent price action could really be telling us
• Why gold continues to attract long-term capital
• How smart money positions itself during uncertain times
• The danger of waiting for certainty before taking action
• A simple shift in thinking that can change the way you approach investing forever

The question isn't:

"What feels safe right now?"

The better question is:

"Where is the opportunity while everyone else is looking the other way?"
