How to invest like you’re uber rich (even if you’re not!)

Let’s be honest - ‘Invest like the uber rich’ sounds like classic headliner clickbait. But here’s the thing… in a tokenised world, that headline is actually starting to hold up because the old barriers to high-value, long-horizon investing are crumbling fast and blockchain is the earthquake shaking the establishment's foundations.

Could Bitcoin finally be ‘mooning’?

Let’s be real… if you told a crypto fan six months ago that Bitcoin would go through its halving (which usually kicks off a major price run), get the green light on those shiny new ETFs (so big investors can pile in easily), and STILL be moving sideways in price, they’d probably look at you like you’d just downed three craft beers before midday.

Are stablecoins the new superstars of crypto?

Let me tell you a story… Fifteen years ago, a guy bought two pizzas for 10,000 Bitcoin. At the time, Bitcoin was only worth a few cents and crypto was still regarded as an experiment. Today, those pizzas are worth over US$1 billion. The story has become folklore in industry (touted as ‘Bitcoin pizza day’) and a symbol of just how volatile and unpr...

Is the crypto bull run over?

This year, Bitcoin hit an all-time high - spirits soared as we had a presidential regime that supported crypto (and even launched a meme coin)! Portfolios pumped and Twitter timelines once again filled with laser eyes as bullish calls for “$200k being the next stop” and “$1m guaranteed this bull run” headlines emerged. But just as quickly, the moo...
