Episode #98 - Who Really Assassinated Charlie Kirk & Why Did They Need TikTok?

Hey-Hey, Bitcoin Wealth Builders!

It’s Friday—and that means it’s time to decode this week's shifts in Bitcoin, macroeconomics, and geopolitics. It’s time for Episode 98 of BitcoinHardTalk | Who Really Assassinated Charlie Kirk & Why Did They Need TikTok? | This Week In Bitcoin, Macro & GeoPolitics

 

This Week in Bitcoin, Crypto & CBDCs

As I’ve been warning, the publicly listed Bitcoin treasury company Nakamoto has collapsed—down 96% from its peak, with half of that wiped out in a single day. At the same time, Russia accused the U.S. of weaponizing stablecoins to prop up the dollar in a brewing currency war — a move that echoes America’s gold confiscation of 1933. Meanwhile, the first crypto index fund ETFs are preparing to launch, just as the U.S. and U.K. unveil a new cooperation deal on digital assets. And to cap it all off? A golden statue of President Trump holding a Bitcoin was placed outside the U.S. Capitol. On top of that, I’ll break down the TikTok deal—why it matters, who really benefits, and how it ties into the Proof-of-Weapons network. It’s been a weird week, and I’ll break down everything you need to know about what really went down in Bitcoin.

This Week in Macro

This week in macro tells a single story. The Fed cut rates—stocks, real estate, and gold all ripped to new all-time highs, while the dollar weakened sharply. That’s fiscal dominance in motion, and the price will be inflation and deeper wealth inequality. The supposed “solutions” are energy and AI—yet both come with enormous costs. Energy reorders geopolitics, while AI rewires economies, each reshaping the very system they’re meant to stabilize. And what’s presented as European solidarity against Moscow is really something else: coercive enforcement. Europe is being locked deeper into U.S. supply chains, with Trump’s energy strategy operating less like a policy and more like a disciplinary mechanism. I’ll unpack this and more in this week’s macro madness.

This Week in Geopolitics

“Operation Blameshift” — the transfer of pressure from the Proof-of-Weapons network onto Israel — escalated this week. After Israel’s strikes on Qatar, the Gulf Cooperation Council, led by Saudi Arabia, announced new security agreements while simultaneously leaning on its EU partners to recognize Palestine as a state. In a historic move, the UN officially declared Israel’s actions a genocide — the first time such language has been applied — pushing Israel further into the category of a toxic asset on the global stage. This unfolded alongside the fallout from the Charlie Kirk assassination, which I argue is part of the same Operation Blameshift dynamic. I’ll explain how these threads connect. I’ll break down what this really means during this week in geopolitics.

Bitcoin golden statues, TikTok, Fed rate cuts, the new GCC NATO-like alliance and speculation on Israel connection to the Charlie Kirk assasinatokn. I’ll break it all down.

Peace,
