Brothers, it seems that friends in Australia might not be sleeping well lately—milk in the supermarket has risen from 4 dollars to 5.8 dollars, and a million-dollar mortgage costs an extra 150 dollars per month, adding up to an additional 1800 dollars a year, and this is just the beginning! The Reserve Bank of Australia has made it clear: inflation is too stubborn, one rate hike won't be enough, and more will follow!
I've been chatting with friends in Australia recently, and after digging into the data, I found that this wave of inflation is not just a 'temporary price increase' but rather that the Australian economy is suffering from a 'chronic illness'! We ordinary people might only feel that prices are high, but the logic behind it is too heartbreaking:
First, the government spends money more aggressively than anyone! In the 2024-25 fiscal year, federal government spending reached AUD 734 billion, with just the NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) costing AUD 46.3 billion, which is 1.6 times more than the budget for primary and secondary education, and 71 times more than the medical research fund! What’s more absurd is that the NDIS has expanded to cover social anxiety and mild depression; as long as there’s a doctor’s diagnosis, one can receive benefits—715,000 people rely on this for their livelihood, and 353,000 work in this sector, yet the average productivity of these positions is less than 9% of that in mining! Money is spent but hasn’t led to actual output—this is nothing but 'printing money to support people', how can inflation not rise?
Secondly, productivity hasn't increased in 8 years! Since 2016, Australia’s productivity has seen almost zero growth, and in 2024 it even dropped by 1.2%, marking two consecutive years of negative growth, placing it at the bottom among OECD countries. Ironically, the low unemployment rate is supported by the public sector—between 2022 and 2024, 82.1% of new jobs came from government agencies, while the private sector hardly moved. It's like a company where there are more logistics personnel and fewer people doing the work, output hasn't increased, yet everyone still wants higher wages, and prices are soaring!
There's also the issue of production capacity! Manufacturing's share of GDP has dropped from 25% to 6%. With factories gone and supply chains broken, the economy relies solely on iron ore exports, yet iron ore prices have fallen by 42% since 2011. On one hand, resource income is shrinking, and on the other, welfare expenditures are soaring, creating a complete imbalance between supply and demand—how can inflation not be stubborn?
The Reserve Bank of Australia is also in a bind: if they don’t raise interest rates, inflation will spiral out of control; if they raise rates, mortgage pressure will explode, and the economy may enter a recession. But it seems they can only grit their teeth and raise rates—after all, no one can bear the consequences of uncontrolled inflation!
At this point, someone is bound to ask: what about the wealth of ordinary people? Should we put money in the bank? Interest rates can't keep up with inflation, the more you save, the more it shrinks; buying a house? The pressure from mortgages is becoming unbearable; buying stocks? During an economic downturn, the stock market's volatility is more thrilling than a roller coaster!
The answer has long been hidden in the trends: in an era of high global inflation, decentralized crypto assets have already become a safe haven for capital! But there’s a fatal pitfall—many people buy BTC and ETH but store their assets on centralized platforms. What’s the difference from putting money in a bank that could be devoured by inflation at any time?
Last year’s FTX crash saw how many people's assets on centralized platforms dropped to zero overnight? And in 2025, a certain platform froze accounts due to regulatory pressure, leaving users without a way to withdraw their funds? These lessons tell us: ensuring wealth security under inflation requires not only choosing the right assets but also the right storage method!
And this is exactly the confidence that Walrus can give us!
Some may not have heard of Walrus; simply put, it's the 'global safe deposit box' for crypto assets, specifically tackling the fatal issues of centralized storage:
First, it's safe enough to reassure you! Walrus uses a black technology called Red Stuff, which can split your asset data into countless encrypted fragments, dispersed across thousands of nodes globally. Even if two-thirds of the nodes encounter issues, the data can still be fully restored! Unlike centralized platforms where all data is stored on a single server, a hacker can break in with one attack, and if regulators check, everything gets frozen. Your assets are not truly under your control.
Second, costs are so low they can be ignored! Storing 1TB of data costs only $50 a year, which is 80-100 times cheaper than Filecoin and Arweave! For ordinary people storing some BTC and ETH asset data, it costs only a few dollars a year, which is much more economical than paying bank fees or letting inflation 'devour' wealth.
Third, it flexibly adapts to all crypto assets! Whether you hold BTC, ETH, or other mainstream crypto assets, Walrus's programmable storage can perfectly adapt, asset rights confirmation and transaction record tracking can be handled with one click. Even if the crypto market fluctuates in the future, your data can remain stable and won't be lost due to platform issues.
I know some friends may say: 'I don't understand crypto assets, will storage be complicated?' Not at all! Walrus is incredibly easy to operate; even beginners can get started with one click. Plus, it is backed by the Sui blockchain team, Mysten Labs, with $140 million in top-tier funding support, and over 13.45 million addresses are in use on the testnet, making it highly reliable!
Brothers, ordinary people like us cannot compete with the government printing money to combat inflation and cannot escape the pressure of interest rate hikes, but we can choose the right 'safe haven' for our wealth! The Reserve Bank of Australia may continue to raise interest rates, and the global inflation environment hasn’t changed. Putting wealth in a centralized system is like docking a boat in a stormy sea, risking capsizing at any moment.
And Walrus's decentralized storage acts like a 'golden shield' for your crypto assets—there are no single points of failure, no risk of regulatory freezes, and no exorbitant costs. Your asset data is truly in your hands, regardless of how severe inflation is or how many times interest rates rise, you can securely safeguard your wealth.
Now, friends in Australia are already making crazy arrangements; we shouldn't fall behind! Remember, in an era of inflation, preserving wealth is more important than making money. Walrus is not a complicated investment project, but a wealth security tool that every ordinary person can use, allowing you to worry less about wealth depreciation under the dual pressure of inflation and interest rate hikes.
Don't wait until mortgage pressure increases, or until prices rise to the point where you can’t afford food, to think about finding safe assets; and don’t wait until centralized platforms have problems to regret not having protected your data properly. Arrange Walrus now, provide your wealth with a 'permanent insurance', ensuring you can steadily earn back what is rightfully yours amidst this wave of inflation!
Australia can't stop raising interest rates, but your wealth doesn't have to shrink! Walrus is the ultimate lifeline for ordinary people resisting inflation!
