#austriches look, it’s a pretty merry Christmas if you saved in bitcoin instead of the pacific peso

Just checking in with the nation: we cool with this?

Mood - on my way to stack sats, shit post about the Australian government and travel for the holidays

What do you think?

Breaking the 🇦🇺 Extraction Cycle Failed states aren't born. They're designed. When extraction trumps production, societies decay. We're heading towards a tipping point. SHITE is our circuit breaker. SHift In Total Efficiency This isn't about blame. This is systems-level refocus. Automation in my work hasn't reduced opportunity—it's multiplied it. Better jobs. Smarter processes. From boardrooms to breakrooms, push SHITE uphill.

Australia's Potential: It's Time for a SHITE Revolution 🇦🇺 Let's be real. Our upstream systems are broken. Government bureaucracy, systemic inefficiencies, and a growing culture of extraction over production are slowly eroding the foundations of what made Australia great. We've become a nation more focused on gaming the system—whether through property speculation, exploiting government support mechanisms, or seeking loopholes—than on actually creating value. We've got the resources. We've got the talent. What we're missing is the collective will to transform our potential into reality. Introducing #SHITE: A grassroots movement for Aussies: SHift In Total Efficiency This is about personal and collective responsibility. This isn't about waiting for a saviour. This is about Australian ingenuity. This is about rolling up our sleeves and creating the change we want to see. We're not asking for permission. We're setting the standard. It's a rebellion against mediocrity. From boardrooms to breakrooms, we can push SHITE uphill towards government. #SHITEnotDOGE #auspol #austriches

Thinking about getting the highest level of YouTube subscription because the ads are so lame. On one level, advertising can be annoying. However the absolute dross that comes from advertising on YouTube is absolute 🐶💩 and a whole new standard in annoyance. What agencies are making these ads!? Who the f**k buys from these property and trading “gurus”?! Gee whiz

What’s the read on supercomputers vs #bitcoin ? Google made major advance today, but still nowhere near compromising cryptography. However, compute power compounds….soooo ?

I own a consultancy and a small marketing agency. Both help businesses grow. However, most #nostr and #bitcoin folks would say it’s old world. Or fiat mining. Or something like that. But here’s the thing—I’ve always been driven by the idea of freedom: financial freedom, freedom of time, freedom to create, and freedom to connect with like-minded people. The freedom economy, as I see it, is about building value that transcends borders, systems, and the traditional ways of working. It’s about decentralisation, innovation, and a shared vision for independence. So, I’m curious: how can I better align my efforts to support others who share these values? How can I use what I’ve built to contribute to this shift, rather than being stuck in the ‘old world’ framework? I’d love to hear from as many people as possible. How do you #nostriches and #austriches direct your energy toward these goals?

While we are having the $100k party, this essay is the most important thing happening in #Australia Please read: https://medium.com/@matt_11659/flat-out-like-a-nation-sinking-45e5f7bf31e1

Just woke up. What did I miss? #bitcoin

#austriches We are in the endgame now.

So to run a business or SMSF, one must have a directors ID. If I log into the connected portal, eg to manage and pay tax for my business, it means I will automatically accept the new privacy policy. The privacy policy for the new MyID system states the data that’s collected and stored by the government. This includes your ▪️date of birth ▪️address ▪️ID document numbers ▪️photographic images ▪️IP address ▪️device type ▪️browser type ▪️signatures ▪️biometrics ▪️racial/ ethnic origin ▪️political opinions ▪️religion ▪️sexual orientation ▪️criminal history ▪️ health / genetic information GFY.

Couldn’t say it better than Phillip Soos on X:

BREAKING: Australian private sector Miss on GDP, just 0.3% in the Sept quarter, annual growth falls to just 0.8% Private demand has now been flat for six months. Only thing keeping the economy afloat is public spending.

Australia’s annual GDP growth unexpectedly slumps to 0.8pc despite government spending surge

Energy policed so bad, they’re literally leaving the lights off.

Power Down Blunder

Australians are asked to forego their dishwashers for the sake of the grid.

#nostriches and #austriches Did you know China owns: - 7.8 million hectares of our land - 40% of our pubs. - 34 of our hospitals - Major stakes in the largest coal mining companies. - 3rd-largest position in Australian water. - Major energy players like Energy Australia and Alinta Energy. - 38% of our dairy industry - All of Tasmania’s cherry industy - Massive amounts of empty residential properties Who’s really calling the shots? No wonder Xi thinks Albo is a “handsome boy”. Have another terrific day in Oz.

Common commentary down under: “I was at (insert cafe/shopping centre/restaurant) and it was packed. People aren’t suffering yet…” blah, blah, yadda, yadda My hunch is that there is actually two sides to this coin: - Low debt Gen X and Boomers are in the sweetest spot in history. All assets, including cash (yes, that dirty fiat y’all despite), is producing a return. They’ve had a massive run up in asset prices, if they aren’t levered to the tits, then disposable income is fine - low asset Millennials and younger who don’t see hope in ever owning a home live for the moment. Yeah the probably DCA low amounts into something, maybe YOLO into bitcoin or have a crack at some sort of 💩coin….but there week to week pay checks are for having fun now. Fuck it, you know? So we still have some busy consumer spending. Even though we are in the midst of long per capita recession, severe decline in “living standards” and an inflationary shit fight. Not sure what else to say here - just thinking out loud. Thoughts #austriches ?

Peace is…. Discussions about compounding with a pour over (for me) and a matcha (for her), Japanese cafe in Aus and a walk. #investing #bitcoin #coffee @Nadia
