    #149 - Labor's $4.3 TRILLION Super Raid… Unless You Do This

    In this new episode, Matthew reveals how Labor plans: how Labor’s plan to raid $4.3 trillion in Australian superannuation unless you take control. He explains why Victorian Premier Jacinta Allen and Federal Treasurer Jim Chalmers are openly targeting super funds, how fiduciary duty is being undermined, and why “nation‑building” projects are really bailouts for failed budgets. Matthew also reveals the escape hatch, a structure for your retirement that can put the control back into your hands.

    #148 - Australia's New Crypto Laws Are Coming. Here's What Changes.

    Matthew sits down with Blake Cassidy, CEO of Bamboo and co-host of Crypto Curious, to unpack one big idea: how everyday investors can safely build wealth in crypto. They break down why insurance in crypto is often more marketing than meaningful, how upcoming Australian regulations (ASIC guidance and Treasury’s draft legislation) will reshape exchanges, and why custody rules requiring $10m in reserves could change the game for smaller platforms.

How to retire early & wealthy, how to navigate crypto, how to convert your Super to Bitcoin and expert strategies from a multi 7-figure investor: 👉 https://www.skool.com/matthewfraserIn this episode of Crypto Collective, Matthew breaks down why Australia’s superannuation system is under growing political pressure and why Bitcoin is emerging as a hedge against government overreach. He unpacks Labor’s backflip on taxing unrealised gains, the push to steer retirement savings into green energy projects, and what this means for everyday Australians trying to protect their future. Matthew draws on global examples where governments raided pension funds, explains how super was meant to work, and lays out why decentralised assets like Bitcoin inside an SMSF are becoming a serious alternative for those seeking sovereignty over their retirement savings.👉 COINSTASH: #1 Australian Crypto Exchange for your SMSF Sick of your super sitting in stale shares and managed funds?
