In this episode of SMSF Insider, host Troy, founder of Blue Chip SMSF Services, addresses a listener's question about purchasing cryptocurrency through a self-managed super fund (SMSF). He explains that it is permissible to buy crypto with an SMSF as long as the account is set up in the SMSF's name. The discussion also touches on broader economic issues, including the unexpected increase in immigration and its impact on the cost of living and housing affordability in Australia. Troy emphasizes the importance of focusing on positive gearing as a property investor, highlighting that while tax benefits are advantageous, the primary goal should be generating income from property investments. Tune in as Troy navigates these complex topics to empower listeners in their journey towards financial independence.
