Bitcoin SMSF vs Industry Super: Who Wins? | The Honest Money Show Ep. 5 ft. Andy Pattinson
Episode 5
🎙️ Welcome to Episode 5 of The Honest Money Show
In this episode, Anja is joined by Andy for a deep dive into the world of superannuation and Bitcoin — exploring how retirement savings can be reimagined through the lens of performance, legislation, and financial empowerment. They compare Bitcoin’s track record against traditional super funds, unpack the mechanics of using self-managed super funds (SMSFs) to gain direct exposure, and discuss the implications of recent legislative changes.
The conversation also shines a light on the transition into retirement, particularly the challenges faced by women who often retire with smaller super balances. Anja and Andy discuss how Bitcoin can act as both a tool of wealth preservation and financial empowerment, offering a sense of control over retirement savings in a system that often feels rigid and outdated.
From breaking down the risks of traditional super to exploring why Bitcoin has dramatically outperformed managed funds over the past decade, this episode challenges mainstream thinking on wealth management and asks whether diversification is truly necessary when one asset consistently outpaces the rest.
