Where Money, Investing, and Technology Meet
Today’s post is a big one: How to get $100,000 per year in retirement — tax free. Yes — tax-free. It sounds almost too good to be true. But with careful planning, the rules in Australia do allow for this outcome (for many). We’ll walk through how, when, and under what conditions. I’ll be taking […]
Everyone is trying to put the massive AI spend by technology companies into context. The easiest historical analogies are the telecomm buildout in the 1990s dot-com bubble and the railway bubbles of the 1800s. Each period was defined by excessive infrastructure spending, investor euphoria, and bubbles that popped but still had lasting positive effects. I’m […]
For all the talk that this cycle is somehow “different,” the structure of Bitcoin’s market still looks unmistakably cyclical to me. Each top brings the same chorus claiming the cycle model is dead, and each cooling phase renews the idea that liquidity alone now sets the trajectory. But the evidence keeps pointing the other way.

from the as-it-was dept Five Years Ago This week in 2020, we featured a guest post about the many problems with the idea of upload filters, while Poland was trying to get them excluded from the EU Copyright Directive.

Coinbase’s direct listing arrived on April 14, 2021, the precise day Bitcoin set a then record near $64,000. Stronghold Digital Mining priced its IPO on […]
Spencer Jakab at The Wall Street Journal makes the case that we could use a long bear market: He explains: The average time to reach the previous high when a bear market was accompanied by a recession was 81 months. It took just 21 without a recession. Over the past 16 years, downturns have lasted […]
Andrew Tate deposited $727,000 into Hyperliquid over the past year, took no withdrawals, and lost the entire stack through a relentless series of leveraged liquidations that culminated on Nov. 18, when his account hit zero. Per Arkham’s on-chain ledger, even the roughly $75,000 in referral commissions Tate earned from bringing traders onto the platform was […]
Server chaos doesn’t have to be the norm. AI-ready infrastructure and automation can bring clarity, performance, and focus back to your web work. If you build or manage websites for a living, you know the feeling. Your day is a constant juggle; one moment you’re fine-tuning a design, the next you’re troubleshooting a slow server […]
There’s a tipping point in your investment life when you realise you’ve got a lot of portfolio to protect. Going to the moon is yesterday’s game. Derisking your portfolio is the order of the day.
