But but it’s a Ponzi scheme.

Aussie super funds could tip billions into crypto

One of Australia’s leading crypto fund managers has predicted a flood of investment into the sector from super funds once adequate regulation is in place.

Riddle me this Batman - if you were a Trustee for a Superannuation Fund and were bound by laws to invest members funds in a prudential manner and strictly limited by investment restrictions (which are subject to significant penalties including even prosecution) would you say that members funds would be "safe" in cryptocurrency ?

You see I am a trustee of my own SMSF and we get audited every year and they are VERY tough.

Yes they are safe, Robin. Soon my own fund will give me an option to invest part of my superannuation into crypto and I’m ticking, Yes.

@Gronk, stop f**king around and purchase couple of grand worth of Shiba Inu. You will thank me in a few years time and it will be your shout everytime I see you.

Bro I am playing the game however remain a sceptic. I currently hold BTC, HBAR, ETH, STR and SHIB. I have few grand spread across those coins. Enough to make money if they come good and not enough to worry about losing.

When you "tick" the box, I assume that you are signing a waiver and indemnity. That's not what I was talking about. What I was talking about is a super fund investing in crypto without seeking member consent and doing so as part of their wide investment strategy. Higher-return investments tend to carry greater risk as they’re exposed to higher levels of volatility, so this is why super funds steer clear of startups and dodgy hedge funds. They channel their cash into blue chip shares, property, infrastructure, bonds and other fixed interest investments.

I bet he never spoke to anybody when he got his jab as well.

I assume crypto for super funds will be more an option you can put a % of your money into initially if you choose .... maybe one day just included in the high risk options.

I’m happy for you. You will make money, my friend and I’ll be meeting you somewhere in your area with some nice home made rakija. ‘Rakija od Kajsije’ or apricot brandy is my favourite. You can supply the beer chasers.

I think the crypto investing will be part of the highest risk portfolio mix or a unique option that is one up from it.

I’m impressed Strides. That’s exactly what I think will happen. Who says this is just a footy forum? We are now providing solid financial tips for all the battlers out there, the working class and struggle street.

Why did it take you so long? You were waiting for the free Bunnings sausage sanga with your covid shot deal?

Then you would know the members (you) can dictate to the trustee (also you) their chosen investment strategy.
Super laws actually don’t give a whole lot of shit where you invest, they just legislate how you make those investments.
Retail funds can freely offer it as a choice to members as well

Nah was just waiting for the Fizahhhh, and i had all the trouble with my shoulder so i have eventually gotten around to it.

Did you put in your dodgy one or your good one? I tried both and I’m still not sure which one was better.

Put it in the good one, now i've got two dodgy ones. Luckily i've got the day off tomorrow so don't have to worry till next monday.

The best advice you've ever given was to get a time machine and buy real estate in the 90s.

I took a punt and purchased a property when coronavirus first hit last year in April. About 100- 150k was wiped off in weeks as people wanted to sell up fast. I thought f**k it.
Within 3-6mths it bounced back from that. And then gained another 20-25% in the last 12mths.
I had a real good feeling about it.

Now it can only go forward and back to the present which is why I have started buying more crypto and supporting BA again.
