RBA kept rates on hold today. Property prices are still propped up by debt and low supply, while savers keep getting squeezed. The whole system feels like a slow-motion Ponzi. That’s why I stack Bitcoin.
At its meeting today, the Board decided to leave the cash rate unchanged at 3.60 per cent. You can read the full statement here: https://t.co/tB9h8yfm6T

If you want to improve how you think about money, I’d start with 3 books: 1️⃣ The Psychology of Money - how behaviour and mindset shape everything 2️⃣ Broken Money - why the system is cracking and where Bitcoin fits in 3️⃣ The Richest Man in Babylon - timeless money lessons that

Reading 20+ books a year has reshaped how I see money: - Bitcoin is my long-term anchor - the foundation I build on. - I put my money to work in things I actually understand. - I look at history for patterns, not crystal-ball predictions. - And I treat mindset as my biggest

That’s why so many dismiss Bitcoin. It’s not that the case isn’t strong - it’s that their behaviour and conditioning stop them from even considering it. Changing mindset is harder than reading charts.

Housel’s key lessons that stuck with me: - Real wealth is what you don’t spend. - Staying in the game matters more than being the smartest. - Risk is what happens when you think you’re safe. - How you grew up with money shapes you more than charts ever will.

One of the most profound for me was The Psychology of Money. It taught me the biggest barrier to investing (let alone Bitcoin) isn’t knowledge — it’s behaviour. People have been conditioned to think short-term, spend now, and ignore compounding.

🧠 Mindset & Behaviour - Atomic Habits (Clear) - Can’t Hurt Me (Goggins) - The Psychology of Money (Housel) These shifted how I think about discipline and risk.

🌍 History & Cycles - Lords of Finance (Ahamed) - The Fourth Turning (Strauss & Howe) - The Lessons of History (Durant) These gave me context. Policy mistakes, generational cycles, and why “this time is different” usually isn’t.

⚡ Bitcoin & Money - The Bitcoin Standard (Ammous) - Broken Money (Lyn Alden) - Layered Money (Nik Bhatia) - The Price of Tomorrow (Booth) These explained why our system breaks at the edges, and why Bitcoin is more than speculation - it’s new monetary infrastructure.

📚 Mainstream Finance Classics - One Up On Wall Street (Lynch) - Common Stocks & Uncommon Profits (Fisher) - The Little Book of Common Sense Investing (Bogle) These gave me the basics: moats, expectations, and scuttlebutt research.

Most of what I knew about money came from lessons my dad had passed down. But I could see the gaps in my understanding - so I set myself a goal: 20 books a year, all centered on finance, Bitcoin, and mindset.

A few years back, I started to feel like something was off. Prices kept climbing, money didn’t stretch as far, and saving felt pointless. The system didn’t add up. So instead of ignoring it, I picked up a book for the first time in years… and began filling the gaps. 📚🧵

One of the biggest reasons I love Bitcoin is Proof of Work #POW. You can’t shortcut it - you either put in the effort or you don’t. The ancient Greek philosophers believed training the body was just as important as training the mind. I’ve always felt the same way, and for years
