← About Collective Shift

Our Vision

Our mission is to empower individuals to achieve financial success and independence through the world of crypto.

Who We Are

Collective Shift is an independent crypto research and strategy platform, trusted by 1,100+ serious investors to simplify and demystify the world of crypto investing. Founded by Ben Simpson in 2020, we empower everyday and high-net-worth investors with research-backed insights, strategic guidance, and a personalised member dashboard, designed to save you time and help you invest with clarity and confidence.

What we believe

Crypto Investing Should Be Understood, Not Guessed At

We're creating the early majority in crypto by making complex ideas simple.

  • We are proudly independent. We never take payment to promote coins or projects.
  • Our recommendations are built purely on conviction, not incentives.
  • Honest, no-hype education beats hype every time, in both directions of the market.
  • We teach strong digital hygiene, self-custody and long-term thinking.
  • We are more than a research platform. We are a genuine community.
  • We help our members like we'd help a mate, because that's the Aussie way.

As a long-term investor with years of experience navigating both bear and bull markets, I'm passionate about democratizing crypto education and helping people achieve financial independence.

Where We Are Going

The same job, done for more people, with better tools behind it.

  • The same model, in a bigger market

    Collective Shift announced its expansion into the United States in July 2026, taking the same research and education membership to investors there.

  • Better tools, same principles

    The member platform is being built out with AI-assisted portfolio analysis, so members reach a decision faster. The research still does the work.

  • Research where investors already are

    Partnerships have put independent Collective Shift research in front of investors on other platforms, from Swyftx to Block Earner, rather than waiting for them to find us.

How We Hold Ourselves Accountable

A vision is easy to write. These are the things a reader can check.

  • We disclose what we hold

    Every full-time employee and content contributor discloses their material cryptocurrency holdings. $2,000 AUD is the threshold for what counts as material, and the register is public.

  • On a schedule, not on request

    Employee holdings are updated weekly, with the changes listed. Content contributor holdings are updated quarterly.

  • We are never paid to promote

    We never take payment to promote coins or projects. Our recommendations are built purely on conviction, not incentives.

  • Factual information only

    All content on this website is factual information only. Please refer to Important Information for more details.

  • One published list of official accounts

    Crypto scams are everywhere, so we publish the only verified accounts we run. If it isn't on that list, it isn't us, and we will never ask you for a seed phrase or a private key.

  • We do not curate our reviews

    Our Trustpilot profile is public, one star reviews included. We reply to 75% of negative reviews, usually within 24 hours.
