Yesterday I was in ICU after my father in law had a massive heart attack. We are uncertain how things will go… (and won’t know for days, but it’s not looking good)
…remember the next time your talking to your more elder family members it may be the last time!
After the recent ATO update, I’m very disappointed.
Any chain interaction is basically a CGT event. Wrapping tokens, DeFi Loan (no longer a loan from ATO eyes).
I suppose bridging chains would be included 🤔
They want that tax money,

At my father in laws funeral on Friday, I was surprised on how much impact he made on peoples lives.
Several men told me privately that without him they wouldn't be here today. I'm proud that is his own way he made the world a better place for others.
I threw a sublime Sunday crypto sunset cruise on the GC. 🛥️
It was a great cruise with captivating people, dolphins, double rainbows and a beautiful sunset 🌅
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays

When your government pumps property to huge prices (compared to salary, needing massive deposits, also jacking rents) you pricing out most young people, also saddle some of them with student debt, exclude their ability to invest in high growth startups, then print money devaluing
I'm honored to be nominated for the Pearcey QLD ICT Entrepreneur Award this year!
It's fantastic to be among such accomplished nominees like Geoff Augutis, Yas Grigaliunas, Chris Jeffery, Chris Kerrisk, Alex Sorina Moss, and Ashley Llambia.
I look forward to the awards next
As we approach the Melbourne Cup I will remind you of the hypocrisy of “customer protections”. You need to be a sophisticated investor (rich) to invest in early stage startups but watch the huge money waste on a fucking horse race. You can gamble it all but not invest 🤨

It is ridiculous that you must tell the bank what you will do with your own money, before they give it to you!
Never mind not being able to even get a larger amount cash. Even after making appointments 🤬
I absolutely love this 🤣 it’s none of you business.

Thank goodness the bitcoin blockchain is more resilient than some of its supporters lol
Serious question, crazy brain fart, how hard is it to start our own crypto business friendly bank in Australia. One that is basically just a depository bank, no branches, tech enabled (with all the compliance etc). A bit like the "challenger banks" from the uk, but that make

Just a reminder that for most people the best place to store your funds is on a hardware wallet like a ledger.
Self custody is an important part of the crypto experience. One were people can not use your funds for their gambling.
Not your keys, Not your funds.
Hey folks, please be careful on link clicks
I got drained yesterday (several NFTs and some ETH etc).
It is a very painful and expensive lesson!
I have interacted with a drain site. Not paying enough attention, not doing the my normal double check.
Yeah, on my phone. Doing too

I do enjoy smaller cities more than big ones now. For example, 40mins ago I was at sitting home, drove to the airport, parked through security and now having a pint at the gate before my flight to Melbourne.
Small city loving is the best, especially with the beach and weather.
I’m a big believer that the explosive of AI fake content will show need public trust layers for verifying authenticity etc.
Just not sure how to monetise that before it’s obvious 🤔
I have some ideas on fingerprinting but it’s a selt belt business. So the value is discounted.
