The Reserve Bank of NZ has hiked the OCR (official cash rate) twice off the lows and says the recovery has “most likely resumed, but remains uneven.” Headline inflation is 4.1% because of fuel, but if you take that out, you're at 2.9% (inside the target band). I think the question is simple: can the Kiwi economy handle the hikes, or do we get a forced cut and a longer grind?

Crypto investors are hoping a new policy will stop punishing them in the long term. ACT's campaigning on modernising regulations, including allowing tax-free profits on crypto held for more than a year, and a 12 month brightline test. Party Leader David Seymour believes our tax system currently treats crypto coins as an asset. Swyftx New Zealand Country Manager Paul Quickenden told Ryan Bridge every time you buy or sell, there's effectively a capital gains tax. He says there's a lot of work for a very small amount of tax.

Check out my Substack here.Tim Doyle, crypto currency tax expert joins me on this one to talk about a recent case where a client of his posted Bitcoin as collateral to take out a fiat currency loan. The idea is to borrow cash, without ever selling Bitcoin, much in the same way you might top up your mortgage to free up cash without having to sell your home.But Inland Revenue's response was to classify the posting of collateral as a disposal - Which means it's a taxable event.

We've been through plenty of property cycles in New Zealand, but this one feels different. It's been called the worst downturn in 50, or even 60 years. Auckland and Wellington have been hit hardest, while other parts of the country are holding up far better (and in a few places, still growing.)Today I'm joined by economist Ed McKnight from Opes Partners to unpack what's really going on. We'll look at the numbers, the regional split, why some Australians are starting to eye New Zealand property again, and why trying to predict the exact bottom is usually a fool's errand.Book in a free 15-min phone call with Darcy Ungaro (financial adviser).Sign up to the fortnightly newsletter!Thank You Swyftx: With over 1 million customers across New Zealand and Australia.

When we're stuck in a low-volatility range and the charts are just going sideways, it's easy for people to lose patience, trade out of boredom, and start making mountains out of molehills. To help cut through the noise with a steady pair of hands, Pav is joined by Trader Travis, founder of The Crypto Mastermind, one of the longest-running crypto communities in the world.

If New Zealand approved a 'de minimus' tax exception for small Bitcoin transactions, we might become a magnet for the type of people who could make this country great again. This conversation was recorded before the Coldcard exploit, which cost hundreds of holders their coins, was known.

On the positive side, Bitcoin ETFs just saw their first green week of inflows after two straight months of net selling. Pav and Calum unpack the psychological shift behind Michael Saylor's Strategy as a major change in behavior that might signal where we actually are in this market cycle. Calum also shares an absolutely wild on-chain story who quietly walked away with $20 million from the Bonk DAO treasury.They also look at why the upcoming August recess deadline is putting massive pressure on the US Clarity Act.

While a lot of social media traders are suddenly rushing to call a market bottom off the back of this news, Pav walks through the weekly Bitcoin chart to break down the exact technical and structural reasons behind this sudden shift in investor sentiment. Pav starts by tracking the Bitcoin ETF flows, noting the end of a ten-day selling streak as buyers return to the market. He unpacks Strategy's recent Bitcoin sale to fund dividend yields, explaining why this move was expected and actually removes a major layer of market fear. He also covers key top movers, including Memecoin's rally, the rise of Lightar as an on-chain competitor, and structural growth at Aerodrome Finance. Finally, he highlights a massive inflow for Hyperliquid and explains how the upcoming Clarity Act deadline is shifting sentiment across prediction platforms. You'll hear: 03:52 Why a ten-straight-day selling streak finally flipped to net buying 06:21 Why Strategy releasing $216 million in Bitcoin is actually a relief for the industry. 10:05 How a stock-market formula helped a volatile asset bounce back 16:11 A deep dive into the free on-chain data tracking how institutional buyers completely stepped in to absorb supply at the $60 range. 19:15 Why Polymarket sentiment flipped to a 45% pass rate as the looming August regulatory deadline approaches. 21:44 Pav walks through historical whale behavior from previous cycle highs and analyses Bitcoin's recent 6.8% green week closure. … and much more!

The way I see it, the biggest financial mistake most people make isn't getting in wrong - it's getting out wrong.As an example, gold is down 25% from its all-time high. If you hold any investment that drops this much within 6 months you're prone to wondering if you called it wrong.Today I want to be honest about that. Not to reassure you, and not to panic you, but to use this as an example in how to ask the question of yourself - when's the best time for you to exit your favourite investment?

Ted and Calum are teaming up again to make sense of a quiet but highly interesting week for crypto. While Pav is busy making his big live TV debut on Sky News, the boys take a look under the hood to see if market history is repeating itself and where the smart money is actually positioning itself. In this episode, they dive into the numbers behind Bitcoin closing three straight red quarters for only the fourth time ever, exploring whether a 50% drawdown points to a final accumulation phase later in the year or a potential July relief bounce. The boys also unpack the heavy internet chatter after Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse publicly criticized Michael Saylor's financial products, right as Strategy announced a massive new capital framework to safely adjust cash reserves. Plus, they explore Kaspa's major internal network clock hard fork to explain why fixed tokenomics matter for long-term growth. Finally, they cover a surprising new local survey showing that high-powered business leaders are personally holding crypto at massive rates, and break down why political pushback on the Clarity Act is shaking up prediction markets. You'll hear: 03:15 Why a three-quarter red streak has historically set up a major accumulation phase, and what July's market behavior usually tells us. 07:14 Brad Garlinghouse clashing with Michael Saylor over structured Bitcoin products and why the Ripple boss thinks it's time to be greedy. 09:20 Calum explains the unique tokenomics of Kaspa's new hard fork 13:16 The real psychological impact behind the headlines of Strategy balancing their cash reserves and how it affects everyday market sentiment. 16:32 An awesome look into a new poll showing 54% of local managing directors and CEOs are personally holding Bitcoin for the long haul. 21:05 Why the upcoming political recess is shifting odds on prediction markets and what the delay means for building a long-term bottom. … and much more!

Kyle Hasson, fellow financial adviser, sits down with me, Darcy Ungaro for a raw conversation about how the rules of money can benefit the investor, even when the industry doesn't.I break down why property, once the default strategy is hitting a fork in the road, and how the real game since 1971 has been the debasement trade: trading abundant fiat money for scarce assets like Bitcoin and gold. We explain how central bank policy since 2020 supercharged asset prices, why Bitcoin is the cleanest expression of that trade.We also tackle the 80/20 approach to investing in the new world, the danger of copycat “Pepsi” thinking, my personal regrets about playing it too safe early on, and why going harder sooner (while you have time to recover) still matters more than most people admit.

These updates have the potential to change the whole market. Ted and Pav are catching up on the mic this week to chat about all the latest action in the markets. While everyone else seems completely distracted by the latest tech IPOs, they look under the hood to see where the real opportunities are popping up during this quiet sideways phase. In this episode, they chat about the latest internet gossip surrounding Strategy and Michael Saylor, breaking down why the critics who are predicting trouble are completely missing the mark. Pav helpfully explains how Strategy's new stock product actually works, sharing why their balance sheet is in a much better spot than people think. They also take a look at Worldcoin's impressive run, show some love to new prediction platforms like Rain, and break down Coinbase's massive new move to launch tokenized real-world stocks for international users. Plus, Pav shares an awesome breakdown of how the new Fed Chair, Kevin Warsh, is shaking up the whole economic game plan. You'll hear: ~ The real mechanics behind Strategy's balance ~ Why platforms like Kalshi and Rain are completely beating the traditional market slowdown ~ Inside the upcoming launch of tokenized company stocks backed one-to-one for non-US retail investors. ~ Pav explains why Kevin Warsh is forcing Wall Street algorithms to rely strictly on raw data instead of being spoon-fed interest rate hints. ~ Why watching which new projects enter the top one hundred during a quiet market is the ultimate way to find real opportunity. ~ Why crypto is temporarily out of the limelight … and much more!

Ted and Pav are finally back together after a four-week break, and they are sliding right into a massive week of updates to figure out if the local market bottom is finally here. While most people expect a longer sideways grind, a few massive corporate changes are hitting the space right now that nobody can afford to ignore. In this episode, the boys break down Elon Musk's SpaceX, which completely blindsided everyone shorting it by climbing 30% to hit a mind-boggling $2.5 trillion valuation. Ted does a deep dive into Worldcoin's new setup to see if it works well or just goes sideways. Plus, we cover why Bitmine is doubling down on buying Ethereum despite nursing a casual $9 billion loss, and what to expect from the newly appointed Fed Chair's very first big interest rate meeting this Wednesday. And much more! You'll hear: ~ How Elon Musk's wild rocket, Starlink, and AI mashup defied every single bear expectation to trade at 90 times its revenue. ~ Inside the controversial new reports from Galaxy Digital, NYDIG, and Standard Chartered ~ Sam Altman's tech project: is his token actually useful or just a massive cash cow? ~ The hidden risks of institutional yield products when the underlying crypto asset takes a massive hit. ~ Pav nerds out on underlying core inflation metrics and the absolute tightrope the new Fed Chair has to walk this Wednesday. ~ Why the boys are completely avoiding altcoins right now and stubbornly keeping their portfolios in Bitcoin and cash. … and so much more!

Ted and Calum are running the studio this week and wrapping their heads around a massive market disconnect. While Bitcoin takes a sudden flash crash below US$60K, certain altcoins are completely ignoring gravity and throwing an absolute party. In this episode, the boys get straight into the bizarre prediction market conspiracy behind Michael Saylor's latest Bitcoin trade and Calum's aggressive strategy to stay in cash until the market bottoms out. We also dive into the massive regulatory shake-up as new SEC Chair Paul Atkins takes over and predicts all traditional markets will move on-chain within five years .

Pav and Calum are back, and they are talking about some of the most confusing updates in the market. With Ted still missing in action, the boys are left in the studio to figure out why on earth Bitcoin is taking a dive while certain altcoins are absolutely throwing a party. In this episode, we are tackling the total shocker coming out of the Stellar Lumens camp, with XLM casually exploding 65% in just seven days on the back of institutional real-world asset hype. We are also unpacking an absolutely wild court case in the US where someone is trying to lay a legal claim to 3.8 million dormant Bitcoin, essentially trying to use old lost-and-found property laws to seize $85 billion worth of Satoshi's stash. Calum explains why traditional crypto ETFs are looking pretty weak right now, even though Hyperliquid and AI tokens completely ignore the gravity of the market and continue to pull vertical runs. Plus, Pav drops some essential, no-nonsense advice on how to actually invest and keep your head straight when the charts look completely chaotic. You'll hear: ~ How XLM just woke up from a multi-year nap to post a massive 65% green candle ~ The $85 Billion Satoshi Lawsuit ~ Traditional fund flows are slowing down while decentralized protocols and AI treasuries are getting greedy ~ The AI infrastructure: Boom or Burst? ~ Pav's Survival Guide on how to position your portfolio and manage your emotions … and much more!

Almost 40% of the S&P 500 index fund sits in just 10 stocks. Yet, low cost, passive index funds are often marketed as a way to invest in many things at once.9 of the 10 companies are directly exposed to the AI-thematic - something that may, or may not be a bubble, depending on who you listen to.They say the performance of actively managed funds, after fee, rarely outperform passive funds.

Ted has officially abandoned the studio for a two-week holiday, so Pav is joined by our resident fraud and risk expert, Calum, to try and make sense of a market that is tearing up the traditional crypto playbook. The boys are breaking down the real drivers behind the HYPE pump, looking at everything from Goldman Sachs quietly scooping up massive positions to a brand new US Spot ETF sucking in $74 million in its first week and a half. Plus, we look at why historical midterm election data says a stock market drawdown is looming between May and October, why billionaire fund managers are dumping 95% of their blue-chip bags, and the legendary "Pentagon Pizza Index" that might be flashing an early warning sign for global markets. You'll hear: - How Hyperliquid is completely eclipsing the rest of the market and trading in brand new territory . - Why giant fund managers and NASDAQ-listed companies lare aggressively building Hyperliquid treasuries - Inside the $74 million in cumulative net flows that completely flipped the "sell the news" script - The historical data that shows stock markets behaviour between May and October during a midterm year. - Why Kevin Warsh stepping in could signal a historical 6-to-12 month market drawdown . - The hilarious (but oddly accurate) way internet sleuths track geopolitical tension via late-night fast-food orders … and much more!

Crypto finally has some good news in a bear market… so why did the market still sell off? This week, Ted and Pav unpack the Clarity Act, why everyone in crypto is suddenly talking about regulation again, and what it could mean for exchanges, founders, DeFi, stablecoins, investors and the broader industry.

This week's episode of Tapping Into Crypto brings some serious "all-rounder" energy to the studio! With Ted still settling into his Sydney digs, Pav is joined by Aussie cricketing royalty and Swyftx-sponsored athlete, Hayden Kerr. We're trading the pitch for the charts as Hayden spills the tea on his seven-year crypto journey, from losing his first password (classic) to DCA'ing his match payments into Bitcoin while on the road with the Sydney Sixers. We dive into the locker room vibes, the gut-wrenching feeling of "chasing your tail" in a bull market, and why Hayden thinks the Fear & Greed index is the ultimate playbook for not stuffing up your portfolio. Whether you're a die-hard cricket fan or just trying to survive the next cycle without catching a falling knife, this chat is a total six. You'll hear: - What life in the off-season looks like for an elite cricketer and Hayden's plans for international tournaments - How Hayden started DCA'ing his "match payments" into Bitcoin - Why getting the "fundamentals" right in cricket is exactly like surviving the crypto markets - The "Bored Ape" locker room stories of teammates on NFTs and how the "taboo" of crypto is slowly fading among athletes - Hayden's shift to a more balanced, long-term wealth strategy - Hayden's strategy in using the fear and greed index when buying … and much more!

Today I'm sharing a conversation about a property investment strategy that most of us simply won't be able to access. My goal isn't to tease you. It's to highlight something important: if you live in New Zealand, you may be significantly underestimating how the real estate market could rebound - from the top down. Controversial take, I know - but I do hope it gets you thinking!Book in a free 15-min phone call with Darcy Ungaro (financial adviser).Sign up to the fortnightly newsletter!Thank You Swyftx: With over 1 million customers across New Zealand and Australia.

Bitcoin has officially reclaimed $80K US, but are we back in the green for good or just walking head-first into a massive "Sell in May" trap? In this episode, Pav and Ted (who is currently busy spotting Broncos players and celebrities in Sydney) dive into why the market is pushing up while retail investors are still fast asleep. We're breaking down the supply shock math: with ETFs scooping up $2.4 billion in a single month,and buying double the amount of Bitcoin being created. Plus, we're looking at the $82K psychological "break-even" point for BlackRock buyers and why Pav thinks the next two weeks will be the ultimate "decision point" for the market. Also, Ted shares why seeing a classic 60% pump as officially the "grossest" thing in crypto right now. You'll hear: - Why the vibe feels completely different now than the "scary" price action we saw back in February. - Is May is destined to be a double-digit red month? - How monthly demand is crashing into a supply of new Bitcoin per month. - Why the BlackRock "break-even" price is about to trigger some serious programmatic moves. - "Gross" Alts pulling 300% moves while no one is watching. … and much more!

Special thanks to Clive Thompson for speaking with me - check out his children's book on www.clivethompson.comIn this conversation, Clive Thompson explains how central banks are increasingly stuck, facing rising inflation from oil and commodity shocks while wanting to cut interest rates - leaving them with limited options in the current macro environment. He argues that central banks worldwide are aggressively buying gold as a hedge against currency risks and de-dollarization, advising gold holders to stay positioned as the monetary system continues to change.Book in a free 15-min phone call with Darcy Ungaro (financial adviser).Sign up to the fortnightly newsletter!Thank You Swyftx: With over 1 million customers across New Zealand and Australia.

The market is finally showing some life, and Bitcoin just clocked its best month since April last year. But is this a genuine breakout or are we just walking into a massive "sell in May" trap? In this episode, Pav and Ted (still coming to you from his Sydney living room) dive into why the Fear & Greed index is hitting 47 even though "Crypto Twitter" is ghost-town quiet. We're unpacking the 11-day ETF buying streak and the "Big Whale" playbook, including how Bit Mine is casually grabbing another 100,000 ETH while sitting on a $6.5 billion loss. Plus, we've got the inside scoop from the Bitcoin Conference: strategic reserves, the Clarity Act "May Deadline," and why the government has suddenly stopped gaslighting us and started playing along. You'll hear: - Why 11 straight days of US Spot ETF buying is the "boring" tailwind we actually needed. - The "Clarity" Countdown hitting the finish line this month. - Inside the wallets holding up to 10,000 BTC and why they haven't flinched since February. - The next wave of retail from a Telegram trading agent and a Visa card. - Did the White House just confirm a Bitcoin reserve is actually on the table? … and much more!

Will central banks "look through" stagflation in 2026? In this quick update, we break down what stagflation really means right now and whether major central banks are likely to ignore it, or will our retail banks be right and they'll forced to hike?

Ted is officially broadcasting from his new Sydney studio, and the timing couldn't be more interesting as the total crypto market cap reclaiming the $2.5 trillion mark. In this episode, we explore the "Store of Value" showdown: comparing Bitcoin's tiny footprint to the massive $40 trillion gold market and the global real estate sector. We're also diving into a wild geopolitical development where Iran is reportedly demanding Bitcoin for oil tolls, a move that signals a massive shift in the decline of US dollar dominance. On the flip side, we look at the "brutal" reality of the Rave DAO collapse and why institutional "whales" like Strategy and Bit Mine are completely ignoring the short-term noise to keep buying every single week . You'll hear: - Why Bitcoin only needs to capture 17% of the gold market to reach a million dollars per coin. - Why international conflicts are driving interest in Bitcoin as a "censorship-resistant" for global trade - A cautionary tale of the 3,000% pump that turned a $100 investment into $7 in just 48 hours - Analysing the best week for Bitcoin ETF inflows since January and what it says about institutional appetite - Why the boys think the four-year cycle is still on track and why "maximum boredom" … and much more!

Keen for a qualified opinion from an economist who isn't an employee of one of the main NZ banks. I am! I think it's critical to understand the REAL impact of the oil shock coming our way to NZ, and how the RBNZ may be forced to respond. Inflation, recession, perhaps a bit of both, or something completely different?
