The St George banking app is a hot, steaming mess and I’m so glad I left that bank. Crypto wallets are more intuitive to use.

Currency nerd problems: I talk about the recent yen intervention with (very intelligent) normies and they just shrug. Even smart people think economics is witchcraft.
The BIS dropped a killer speech in Julu and nobody noticed. They’re visualising a unified blockchain for central banks but missing the whole point, as usual. www.bis.org/speeches/sp2...
Gold has officially crossed into bearish territory after a multi-year bull run. History shows us that it isn’t bearish for long. I’d be interested to see how long it stays bearish after such a huge blow off top.

If you’re feeling extra poor, here is a cute hack: go to the Australian Bureau of Statistics and compare Wage Price Index (A) with Inflation (B). Real wage growth is just A - B. So you can see exactly how poor you are! au.finance.yahoo.com/news/aussies... au.finance.yahoo.com/news/aussies...
‘Workers on treadmill’ despite big pay bump
Australian workers face the harsh reality that their pay increases mean nothing as inflation officially leaves them poorer.

Weirdly specific shortages I’m seeing as a regular battler in Australia: * my favourite brand of bread * my favourite brand of tinned tomatoes * my backup brand of dog food * (anecdotally, from the cashier) some brands of dairy Too early for supply chain issues with the Straight, right?

Proof Of Sheila ₿ 🇦🇺@lensinkmouse.bsky.social · 7mo agoI think I will buy gold if we get headlines of peace and gold drops weakly. A weak drop would indicate that not all of the global tensions have cleared and more upside expected.
I also saw a headline about a fire in a refinery in Texas at the time of the Iran war breaking out. It’s a bit weird that it’s happened twice in the same month. What we know so far about the oil refinery fire in Geelong www.sbs.com.au/news/article...

An investigation is underway to determine the cause of the fire, but it is not being as suspicious. Here's what we know so far.

🧵 1/ The RBA just dropped the spiciest speech on stablecoins so far: www.rba.gov.au/speeches/202... > “Tokenisation isn’t a question of if anymore… it’s how fast can we wire it into the system without breaking things.” Let’s unpack what’s actually going on. Shut up, sit down, and hang on. 👇

Bitcoin has broken the pink trendline convincingly after “walking” it for a while. This is almost the lowest the RSI had been on a monthly timeframe, I will be watching it with interest.
I’m currently selling my car, and no matter the listed price point, everyone offered about 19K for it. Is that how much Aussies have in their bank accounts these days or is there some sort of weird dark psychology going on ahaha
We need new ways to signal authenticity on social networking. (Assuming that it doesn’t die because of AI). That’s why I leave errors in my art, even when it makes my perfectionism cringe.
