Thursday Headlines: Labor promises to cap prescription medications at $25, Putin accused of breaking promise to not strike Ukrainian energy targets, new search green lit for missing flight MH370 and a Jury convicts two men in golden toilet heist. Deep Dive: If you tune into Parliament, you’d think Australia is drowning in crises—health, crime, climate, and, most notably, housing and immigration. And lately, those last two have become deeply intertwined in political debate.

"Bitcoin will probably crash again but it is neither a Ponzi scheme nor a bubble – it's something far worse: It is an inherently secure, tightly-controlled asset with a regulated supply, and is therefore a subversion to the whole basis of free-market financial capitalism." ~ Alan Kohler What if Bitcoin is actually much worse than a Ponzi scheme? What if it's both here to stay, but also a total subversion to the very idea of the system we are currently in? Could this be another insurrectionist attack on this great nation and others? What if the systems that keep us safe and keep our financial system secure and solvent were to be undermined by a new rogue asset, that could threaten the foundations of all we have built? Find out the dangers of Bitcoin in today's read by Alan Kohler... Check out the original article at Alan Kohler: Bitcoin is not a Ponzi bubble. It's worse – an insurrection.
