Welcome back to the Crypto Curious.This week we've got 3 big stories to cover - starting with a $387 million attack on Bitget, allegedly linked to North Korean hackers — but the really interesting part might be what Bitget did next, and the crisis playbook it had ready to go.Then, your stocks just went DeFi. Coinbase's tokenized shares are now being accepted as collateral on Aave, bringing traditional assets directly into the world of decentralised lending. And finally, Europe is switching on the digital euro. The ECB has activated its first live system, with a 2029 launch target — and potentially some pretty big implications for how Europeans pay, move and hold money. So, we've got a crypto heist, Wall Street moving deeper into DeFi, and the euro getting a digital upgrade.Let's get into it

Ethical investing sounds simple until you actually look at what you own. A broad market ETF can give you exposure to tobacco, weapons and companies you might never choose individually. But an "ethical" fund can still hold businesses someone else would reject, charge a higher fee and draw its ethical line somewhere completely different.So where do you actually draw the line?In this episode, Jack and Tash unpack the uncomfortable overlap between money, values and investing. They look at why so-called sin stocks can be financially attractive, whether controversial companies can trade at a discount, how greenwashing complicates ethical labels, and why global supply chains can make even apparently positive investments difficult to judge.In this episode we'll discuss:

This episode puts Canna to the test. What would a financial planner fix first? We all have competing priorities when it comes to money - from paying down the mortgage and building up super, to investing, saving for the future or simply working out where all our money goes each month.

Join Canna Campbell - a financial planner for 20 years - and Fear & Greed's Michael Thompson as they work through seven very different financial scenarios and reveal the first thing a financial planner would tackle in each one.Canna and Michael's new book is available now!

What do you actually want from your money?It sounds like a simple question. But once you have spent years saving, investing and working towards a goal, the answer can get surprisingly complicated.In this episode, Tash and Ana get candid about the money decisions they are thinking through right now. From FIRE and business to family, career, travel and lifestyle creep, they unpack what happens when money gives you more options, but not necessarily more clarity.In this episode:

Pay disputes rarely stall before the first offer, yet that is the situation facing doctors in Victoria's public hospitals. Despite months of bargaining and escalating industrial action, the State Government has still not tabled a wage offer. John Ryan, Senior Workplace Relations Adviser with AMA Victoria and Industrial Officer with ASMOF Victoria, joins Anneliese Shortt, Marketing and Communications Director at the Bongiorno Group, to explain how the dispute reached this point. John outlines why doctors are seeking the same 28 per cent increase granted to nurses, a deal that has left some entry-level nurses earning more than entry-level doctors. He warns of the long-term risks to recruitment and retention, explains why Government funding holds the key to a resolution, and details the four-hour stop-work across 30 health services, including how patient safety will be protected.

Networking can still bring up images of awkward events, name tags and forced small talk. But in modern business, it can look a lot more natural than that.Tash and Emma unpack how they have built useful relationships through social media, events and their wider business communities. They also explore why networking tends to work best when you focus on relationships first, rather than what you can get from someone.In this episode:

Before we get into this week's stories… we need to talk about Bitcoin, because the group chats are ON FIRE.Bitcoin has smashed through $85,000, with both Bitcoin and Ethereum up around 10% this week — and technical traders are getting very excited about what that breakout could mean.But while the charts are doing their thing, Washington has been having a slightly different kind of week.The big US crypto bill failed in the Senate… and within 48 hours, the regulators basically said, "Fine, we'll do it ourselves."We've also got a new AI scam where 224 people were tricked into deploying wallet-draining smart contracts themselves — proving once again that in crypto, sometimes the biggest threat is the person holding the wallet.And finally, DeFi is building a new door for the institutions. Aave wants Wall Street to be able to borrow against Bitcoin while keeping that Bitcoin safely tucked away with a regulated custodian.Let's get into it

Index funds are often sold on one big idea: diversification. But owning hundreds of companies does not always mean your money is spread as evenly as you think.Tash and Jack take a closer look at what can sit underneath a seemingly simple ETF. They unpack concentration risk, overlapping funds and the point where a “passive” portfolio can start looking surprisingly active.In this episode:

Managing money is hard enough with a regular paycheque. But what happens when your income changes every month, you're building businesses, and some acting gigs have to last you for months at a time?Tash and Ana chat with actor and creative Gina Drew about budgeting on a low and irregular income, combining finances with a partner, building emergency buffers, investing small amounts, and finding support when money gets tight.In this episode:

Off-market deals now account for up to half of all property sales in Melbourne's most sought-after suburbs, and the way auctions are run is about to change dramatically. Harrison Kelly, Director at HMK Buyer's Advocate, joins the Bongiorno Group’s Matt Homewood and Jack Will to break down the current spring property market. Since May's budget changes to capital gains tax and negative gearing, investor confidence has dropped sharply while stock levels have shrunk, pushing more vendors toward private, off-market sales. Harrison explains how buyers can access these hidden listings, why auction clearance rates have fallen to historic lows, and what upcoming reforms — including mandatory reserve price disclosure seven days before auction — will mean for transparency. He also shares his read on which Melbourne pockets are thriving, which are struggling, and why both upgraders and first-home buyers may be looking at a rare window of opportunity.

This week on SB Talks, Vincent O'Neill and Nick Ryder discuss the Fed's latest rate decision and what it means for inflation, interest rates and markets. They explore why policymakers remain focused on bringing inflation back to target, the growing risk that higher oil prices and Middle East tensions add further pressure, and the increasingly heated debate around AI safety, regulation and the race for technological dominance.

Lots of people want to start a business. Far fewer actually do it.Tash and Emma unpack what can keep an idea stuck in your head for years, from self-doubt and money worries to overthinking the perfect way to begin. They also share their very different approaches to getting started, and why both come back to the same idea: create some momentum.In this episode:

This week in crypto we've got hackers who stole $320 million in Bitcoin… then gave most of it back and asked for a $47 million thank-you payment.Yep. Apparently even crypto criminals are negotiating their bounties now.We've also got Jack Dorsey making the ultimate establishment move — Block has applied for a US banking charter to custody Bitcoin and stablecoins. Because apparently the road to decentralisation now goes through the banking regulator.And finally, the LAPTOP update we've been waiting for. Hunter Biden's memecoin launched, briefly rocketed to a $1.6 billion implied market cap… and then crashed 98% in its first hour. And the wallet trail behind it is raising a few eyebrows.So: polite hackers, Bitcoin banks and another celebrity memecoin spectacular.Let's get into it

Australia might be home, but does that mean Australian shares should make up a big chunk of your portfolio?Tash and Jack unpack home-country bias and why the Australian share market looks very different from global markets. They explore diversification, the industries that dominate the ASX, and why investing overseas has become much easier than it once was.In this episode:

Starting a business can look pretty appealing from the outside. More freedom, more money, no boss, and the ability to work from wherever you like. But the reality can involve a lot more uncertainty, responsibility and late-night problem solving.Tash and Emma unpack what running a business actually looks like, who it might suit, and why leaving a good job isn't always the obvious upgrade social media makes it seem.In this episode:

It's never a dull week in crypto, folks.First up, Hunter Biden is launching a memecoin called LAPTOP — aimed squarely at people who've lost money on the Trump memecoin. And the timing is pretty extraordinary, because memecoin trading is roaring back, with Robinhood Chain posting record volumes.Then, Bitcoin miners are quitting Bitcoin for AI. Some of the biggest players in the industry are shutting down mining operations and turning their power-hungry warehouses over to AI — because apparently GPUs are now a better business than Bitcoin.And finally, El Salvador's Bitcoin mystery deepens. The IMF says the country's Bitcoin stash has continued growing thanks to private donations... from donors who, so far, nobody seems willing to name.Let's get into it

Is Australian property still the wealth-building machine it's often made out to be? Or have some of the forces that drove its huge run over the past few decades started to run out of steam?Tash chats with new co-host Jack Tossol, a former financial planner and content creator, about the case for and against property. They unpack affordability, leverage, diversification, rentvesting, private equity and why buying a home can be as much an emotional decision as a financial one.In this episode:

Every financial decision comes with a trade-off. Spend more here, and you might have less for something else. Save aggressively now, and you might give up experiences you can't get back later.In this episode, Tash and Ana unpack some of the trade-offs they've made to get where they are financially, and how those choices have changed as their lives, priorities and incomes have changed.In this episode:

Candice is back on Talk Money To Me after a short break from the podcast, having welcomed her beautiful twin boys!And she's returning with a high conviction BUY for the Order Pad. In this episode, Candice is bullish on Applied Materials (NASDAQ: AMAT), one of the world's leading semiconductor equipment companies and a lesser-known way to gain exposure to the enormous investment taking place across AI and advanced computing.While Nvidia designs many of the chips powering the AI revolution, companies still need increasingly sophisticated equipment to manufacture them. That's where Applied Materials comes in. Candice breaks down why rising demand for AI, high-bandwidth memory (HBM), advanced logic and advanced packaging could create a powerful long-term growth opportunity for AMAT, and why she views the company as a classic “picks and shovels” play on the AI boom. She also digs into Applied Materials' record financial results, the outlook for 2027, the risks investors need to consider and why UBS's US$675 price target supports the bullish investment case.

Running a business means making mistakes. Sometimes expensive ones.In the second episode of the Get Rich Slow Club small business series, Tash and Emma from The Broke Generation share some of the business decisions they wish they'd handled differently, from misunderstanding GST and undercharging for their work to hiring, outsourcing and waiting too long to try new things.In this episode:

This week, we've got a very special guest joining us for this week's crypto news — Peter Stanhope, General Manager Australia at Nexo.Peter has spent almost a decade at IG Australia, co-founded superannuation startup GigSuper, ran Capital.com's Australian operations, jumped the fence into crypto with Banxa, and now heads up Nexo here in Australia — just as they've launched regulated crypto-backed credit lines Down Under.Welcome, Peter!So what have we got for you this week?First up, we're going inside Nexo with Peter to find out how a crypto platform went from a 2018 startup to more than 7 million customers — and what regulated crypto-backed lending actually looks like for Australians.Then, California has had enough of politician memecoins. Its legislature has unanimously voted to ban public officials from launching their own coins — because apparently this is a problem we now need laws for.And finally, we've got 4,000 goats, an insane wage law and a prediction market. A California goat-herding company has literally hedged the risk of a $240,000 wage bill by betting on whether the government will fix the law.Let's get into it.

Super is easy to ignore when retirement feels decades away. But a few small mistakes today could make a pretty big difference to your future balance.Tash and Ana run through eight common super mistakes, from accidentally paying multiple sets of fees to having no idea what your super is actually invested in. They also unpack some of the less obvious things worth checking, like insurance, beneficiary nominations and whether extra contributions could fit into your bigger financial plan.In this episode:

Pay off the mortgage or invest? It's one of those money questions that sounds simple, until you actually start running the numbers.Tash and Ana unpack the trade-offs between getting ahead on your home loan, keeping money in an offset, investing, making extra super contributions, and using strategies like debt recycling. More importantly, they look at why the “right” answer can depend just as much on your goals and risk tolerance as the maths.In this episode:
