Corrections says a steep increase in prison assaults is due to better reporting of incidents. New data shows there were more than 2600 assaults in the last financial year. It includes more than 1500 prisoner-on-prisoner assaults, and more than 1000 on staff. Custodial Services Commissioner Leigh Marsh told Mike Hosking they've been working hard to improve how they deal with these incidents. He says the encouragement of reporting assaults has seen an increase in the number of non-injury assaults being reported, which where the biggest number lies.

My guest today is Francis Pouliot, long-time Bitcoin advocate, cypherpunk entrepreneur, and CEO of Bull Bitcoin, Canada's leading Bitcoin-only exchange. Known for his uncompromising stance on self-custody, privacy, and resistance to state overreach, Francis has been a vocal defender of Bitcoin's founding ethos for over a decade. He is also a key figure in Bitcoin Jungle, a circular economy in Costa Rica where hundreds of merchants transact daily in Bitcoin. In this episode, Francis shares how his background in Austrian economics and libertarian politics, combined with the wake-up call of COVID, led him to relocate from Canada to Costa Rica. We explore the creation and growth of Bitcoin Jungle, why farmers markets are fertile ground for adoption, and how his “scale versus compromise” framework guides strategic decisions in building Bitcoin infrastructure. Francis opens up about the tension of running a regulated exchange while opposing KYC, his mission to make self-custody as seamless as custodial services, and why Bitcoin's payments layer is as critical as its store-of-value function. He dismantles the “Bitcoin is hijacked” myth spread by Roger Ver & others, addresses skepticism from the red-pilled community, and explains why barter and cash cannot scale for true financial freedom. → If you got value, please like, comment, share, follow and support my work.

The brand-new “Trump account” is a tax-deferred savings option for American children created by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. I break down who's eligible for up to $1,000 in free government contributions, how these accounts work, and how they stack up against other popular savings vehicles like 529 plans, IRAs, custodial accounts, and regular brokerage accounts. If you're a parent or grandparent thinking about the best way to jumpstart your child's financial future, you'll want to tune in for my honest comparison of the Trump account's pros, cons, and quirks, plus tips on making the most of these new opportunities. You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... [00:00] Trump accounts for children, including eligibility and benefits, compared to other savings options. [04:52] Invest in low-cost US index funds for a child's account. [08:41] 529 accounts offer conservative investment options and potential benefits for education savings. [11:59] Consider a regular brokerage account instead of a Trump account, especially if it's not for college. What Parents Need to Know About the New Trump Account Saving for your child's future can be complicated, and with the introduction of the new “Trump account” via the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, parents have another option to consider. In a recent episode of the Retire with Ryan podcast, host Ryan Morrissey breaks down the ins and outs of this novel account.  What is the Trump Account? The Trump account, established by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, is a new type of tax-deferred investment account specifically designed for American children. It bears similarities to familiar accounts like IRAs and 529s in that all investments inside the Trump account grow tax-deferred, letting parents and children potentially maximize compounding returns.  Eligible children, those born between January 1st, 2025, and December 31st, 2028, are entitled to a $1,000 government contribution just for opening the account, regardless of parental income. That's free money that, when invested early, could grow substantially over time. How Does the Trump Account Work? Parents (or guardians) can contribute up to $5,000 per child per year (indexed for inflation starting 2027) until the child turns 18, and employers can contribute up to $2,500 annually, also not counted as taxable income for the child. The account must be opened at investment firms, which are required to limit investment options to low-cost index funds (with expense ratios under 0.10%), such as S&P 500, total stock market, or similar broad-market funds. Once the child turns 18, they gain full access to all the assets in the account. Investments in the account benefit from tax-deferred growth, and withdrawals are taxed at favorable capital gains rates (15% or 20%) rather than ordinary income rates. How Do Trump Accounts Compare to Other Savings Options? Traditional & Roth IRAs: IRAs, including Roth IRAs, require earned income to contribute, posing a barrier for most children. While Roth IRAs trump Trump accounts for long-term tax benefits (withdrawals are tax-free), children generally can't access this unless they have income from work. Also, traditional IRAs add tax deductions but are taxed as ordinary income on withdrawal, compared to the Trump account's capital gains treatment. 529 College Savings Plans: 529s are tailored for college expenses, offering tax-free withdrawals for qualified education costs and sometimes state tax deductions. Plus, investment options can become more conservative as your child nears college age, something currently unavailable in Trump accounts, which are stock-only (at least for now). If used for non-educational purposes, 529s face ordinary income tax and penalties, whereas Trump accounts are taxed at capital gains rates for any withdrawal purpose. Brokerage & Custodial Accounts (UGMA/UTMA): A plain taxable brokerage in the parents' name offers flexibility, letting parents control access and investment options, paying minimal taxes on dividends each year. Custodial accounts shift tax liability to the child but must legally transfer to the child between ages 18 and 25, depending on state laws. Notably, assets in a child's name weigh more heavily against them on financial aid forms than if held by the parent. Who Should Consider Opening a Trump Account? If your child will be born between 2025 and 2028, opening a Trump account is almost a no-brainer to snag the free $1,000. But for ongoing contributions, think about your goals: Saving for college? Stick to a 529 plan for tax-free education withdrawals and more investment flexibility. Want to help your child start life with a nest egg for any purpose? Trump accounts work, but remember your child gets full control at 18. Prefer more flexibility or control over when and how your child accesses the funds? Explore regular or custodial brokerage accounts. The Trump account is an interesting addition to the range of savings vehicles for children, especially thanks to the initial government contribution and low-cost investment options. Still, its quirks, like the child's access at 18 and limited investment choices, mean it won't be a perfect fit for every family. Analyze your family's needs, long-term goals, and how much control you wish to maintain before making your move.

What are the smartest ways for HENRYs (High Earners, Not Rich Yet) to save for their child's future college expenses—and what are the pros and cons of each option?In this episode of The Confident Retirement Podcast, host Kris Flammang and LPF Advisors' Armando Faucy-Smith and Collin Habig take a deep dive into college planning for HENRYs. They break down the three most popular ways to save for your child's education—529 plans, custodial accounts, and parent-owned brokerage accounts. The team explains how each account works, key differences in flexibility, tax treatment, and financial aid impact, plus common mistakes to avoid when choosing the right college savings path.5 Key Takeaways→ A 529 plan offers tax advantages for education expenses and is generally the most “financial aid friendly” option for parents. → Custodial accounts (UGMA/UTMA) offer more flexibility but come with fewer tax benefits and count more heavily against financial aid eligibility. → Parent-owned brokerage accounts provide the most control and flexibility but lack tax perks for education and count as parental assets for financial aid. → Tax treatment, account ownership, and how funds are used (or not used for college) can have a huge impact on long-term savings outcomes. → It's essential to understand your goals, your state's rules, and to work with a financial advisor to tailor the right strategy for your family.Best Quotes from the Episode “The 529, of all the plans we're going to talk about today, is probably the broadest one in terms of defining higher education.” “People often underestimate how limited the flexibility is in a 529, and overestimate how free custodial money is—once your kid turns 18 or 21, that account is their money.” LPF Advisors Website: lpfadvisors.com Kris Flammang (LinkedIn): Kristopher Flammang Collin Habig (LinkedIn): Collin Habig Armando Faucy-Smith (LinkedIn): Armando Faucy-Smith Schedule a Consultation: Take your "money temperature" and create a personalized wealth-building strategy.

Throughout the years, there were many attempts of tapping into Bitcoin's liquidity and security, but almost all of them came with different caveats. Most notably, wrapped BTC (wBTC) depended on the wrapper contract security. However, the recent surge in research and development for native solutions has led to breakthroughs previously thought impossible. Babylon launched native BTC staking and plans to further expand this to secure other blockchains, in a model similar to that of mesh security. This would not only help secure other networks, but it would also unlock liquidity from the mother chain through liquid staking derivatives.Topics covered in this episode:David's backgroundThe evolution of BabylonThe Bitcoin RenaissanceTechnical challenges of implementing Bitcoin stakingThe OP_CAT upgradeBabylon's Bitcoin staking & Bitcoin-secured networksBridging liquidity & LSTsSecuring multiple chains and slashingBabylon chain - aggregating Bitcoin-secured networksCould Bitcoin become a POS chain?Babylon upgradeabilityEpisode links:David Tse on XBabylon on XSponsors:Gnosis: Gnosis builds decentralized infrastructure for the Ethereum ecosystem, since 2015.

Tankred Hase has experience working with various Bitcoin and Lightning companies such as Lightning Labs and Swan previously. He joins me to talk about Bitcoin, Lightning and Liquid. We discuss some of the real world challenges and trade offs that builders and developers face, as well as the likely path forward from here. Summary Tankred discusses the current state of Bitcoin, Lightning, and Liquid development. He highlights the progress made in terms of user experience and liquidity. However, he also acknowledges the challenges that still need to be addressed, such as capital gains taxes, technical hurdles, and the need for more user-friendly solutions. Tankred emphasizes the importance of having multiple options for using Bitcoin as money, including custodial solutions, Liquid, and trust-minimized solutions like Fedimint. He also discusses the trade-offs involved in designing user-friendly Bitcoin and Lightning apps. Tankred and Stephan discuss the different trade-offs and options available in the Bitcoin ecosystem, particularly in the context of Lightning Network and Liquid. They highlight that while some Bitcoin enthusiasts prioritize non-custodial and pure Bitcoin solutions, many users, especially in regions like Dubai, Turkey, and South America, opt for custodial exchanges like Binance for their convenience. Tankred introduces StashPay, a solution that leverages the Breeze SDK and Liquid to offer lower fees for receiving payments. They also discuss the future of Lightning, including broader adoption of Bolt 12, asynchronous payments, and improved privacy for receivers. Takeaways Bitcoin and Lightning have made significant progress in terms of user experience and liquidity. There are still challenges to be addressed, such as capital gains taxes and technical hurdles. Having multiple options for using Bitcoin as money, including custodial solutions, Liquid, and trust-minimized solutions, is important for broader adoption. Designing user-friendly Bitcoin and Lightning apps requires making trade-offs and understanding the needs of different user populations. Users in the Bitcoin ecosystem have different preferences and priorities when it comes to trade-offs and options.
