The question of whether Bitcoin is fueling a political revolution is something I’ve been chewing on for a while. I think it is, but I reached out to John Alcock to see what he thinks (and I got more than I bargained for!).

Can genuine, transformational wealth still come from work hard and focus?

Sometimes the future doesn’t tap politely. It knocks, and while the instinct is to keep the door bolted, at some stage we need to do better. That’s what’s happening right now in New Zealand, as John Alcock aims to facilitate the country's first property sale powered entirely by a blockchain.

It’s a dwelling, but it’s an asset class too - People buy property to live in it, and to grow their wealth in it. Since the early 1970’s, property values have doubled roughly every 7-10 years in many Western countries, including here in NZ. But sitting here in 2025, after watching at least 3 years of falling prices, it’s natural to wonder if the party’s over. Maybe whatever caused prices to rise for over 50 years really is starting to reverse. Before you do something foolish like sell it all and plough it all into something silly like Bitcoin, consider your own situation, and a range of perspectives first.Book in a free 15-min phone call with Darcy Ungaro (financial adviser).Sign up to the fortnightly newsletter!Thank You Provincia: Whether you're looking to invest, or you have a commercial property that needs better management -  they the true one-stop shop for wholesale industrial investors.

Recently, I attended a conference which centered on what I suspect will be the future of money in a more digital world. One of the best presentations I sat through was from author (of a book called 'Broken Money') and macro-analyst Lyn Alden - 'Nothing stops this train'. The current form of money we use (fiat currency) is tethered to a leveraged system with no easy way to deleverage. Ironically, the strategy we can use as households to build wealth (leverage to buy scarcity) is what may help our governments survive the train wreck coming.

Has New Zealand lost its way? If so, the only path forward is to honestly acknowledge what we once were, understand how and why we’ve changed, and then chart a course for the future we want. It’s a tough question, no doubt, but like any hard problem, there’s a reward waiting on the other side. I’m joined today by Mike Grimshaw, a self-confessed ‘intellectual mongrel’ and Associate Professor of Sociology at the University of Canterbury, whose eclectic work spans radical theology, cultural theory, and New Zealand’s identity.Book in a free 15-min phone call with Darcy Ungaro (financial adviser).Sign up to the fortnightly newsletter!Thank You Provincia: Whether you're looking to invest, or you have a commercial property that needs better management -  they the true one-stop shop for wholesale industrial investors.

For everyday people struggling to get ahead in a system that feels rigged, the path to financial security does not in fact, come from getting the degree, working hard, and trying to be liked.

Sounds a bit woo-woo saying it, but this is my strategy. It’s why I doubled down on leveraged residential property in 2015, Bitcoin in 2017, and gold in 2019.
