The Days of Owning REAL Bitcoin are Almost Over.

In this episode of The Sat Signal, Adam sits down with Tony Yazbeck from The Bitcoin Way, a cybersecurity expert with roots in the black hat hacker world who shares his harrowing journey from losing his life savings overnight in the 2019 Beirut banking collapse to finding true financial sovereignty through Bitcoin. Yazbeck debunks a viral video spreading "pure noise" about Bitcoin's protocol, arguing the real modern attack isn't an outright ban but a plan to co-opt it by "embracing it" through government-friendly channels like ETFs and centralized custody. To counter this, he makes the case that true sovereignty lies in self-custody, revealing that he has run his entire business without a bank since 2019 and stressing the need to reclaim not just financial but also communications privacy from a system built on surveillance. The discussion concludes with a stark warning that a Lebanon-style collapse is inevitable for Western nations, citing Australia's "smart money" exodus and desperate "view taxes" as signs of the fiat Ponzi scheme's end, reinforcing that the only true insurance policy is learning to hold your own keys.
