Bitcoin Hard Talk

Hey-Hey, Bitcoin Wealth Builders! BitcoinHardTalk Episode 99. This week we’re doing something different. Normally, every episode is structured around: This Week in Bitcoin, This Week in Macro & This Week in Geopolitics… …But for Episode 99 we’re breaking from that format to focus entirely on Donald Trump’s United Nations speech—and what it really means for the dollar, global power, and the future of money whilst pulling out the macro and geopolitical history, lessons and analysis to make sense of it all.   What I'll cover - Trump’s UN speech decoded— beneath the rhetoric of “dollar & US strength” lies a more sinister undertone: a covert alignment with the Proof of Weapons network. - Dollar fragility—how the appearance of strength may mask cracks in the system as nations seek to escape US hegemony. - The Proof of Weapons network—interpreting the speech as part of the global system of weapons, alliances, and financial control.   Protecting yourself after the analysis Once we’ve unpacked Trump’s UN address, I’ll reflect on how you can protect yourself: - Why most crypto tools are part of the Proof of Weapons network, captured and compromised. - Why Bitcoin in self-custody, secured by Proof of Work, is different—and how it frees you from the very system Trump’s words represent.   🎉 Looking ahead: Episode 100 Next week is a milestone. For Episode 100, I'll be back with the usual format—This Week in Bitcoin, This Week in Macro, This Week in Geopolitics—to bring you the sharpest weekly analysis of money and power.   Watch BitcoinHardTalk Episode 99 I'll decode Trump’s UN speech, expose the Proof of Weapons network, and show why self-custody Bitcoin is the ultimate hedge.   Peace, Simon Dixon 🚀

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.

Hey-Hey, Bitcoin Wealth Builders! It’s Friday 12th September 2025—and this week, we’re not following our usual structure of This Week in Bitcoin, Macro & Geopolitics. The world has entered a fire state of emergency—and everything we’ve been warning about for years on BitcoinHardTalk is unfolding in real time. Now is the time to follow the money and look beyond the headlines. The prescriptions we’ve been analysing are no longer theory—they are happening. Emergency Analysis  We’re breaking down this week’s episode into focused segments as each event has big implications: Analysis 1: Qatar Bombs – What the escalation signals for Middle East power plays and US dollar strategy. Analysis 2: Poland Drones – How European border instability ties into NATO’s shifting role. Analysis 3: Venezuela Strikes – The Latin American front in the global resource and energy wars. Analysis 4: Charlie Kirk’s Assassination – Domestic fallout, controlled narratives, and the pre-crime agenda. Analysis 5: UK Civil Unrest – A powder keg igniting this weekend, linked to the European instability campaign. Big Picture As I’ve been saying for years, all of this is part of a managed transition to a multipolar world—where the US recedes into a regional technocracy managing the West under the Proof-of-Weapons (PoW) network. Bitcoin investors, macro thinkers, and geopolitical realists need to prepare: The money tells the story. The narrative is managed. The transition is accelerating.

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 96 of BitcoinHardTalk. *This Week in Bitcoin, Crypto & CBDCs*  Public companies now hold over 1,000,000 BTC for the first time in history. Tether USDT launched on new Bitcoin tech. Thailand & Japan are weighing Bitcoin reserves, UAE Bitcoin mining was confirmed and The Federal Reserve announced an Oct. 21 Payments Innovation Conference to cover Bitcoin, crypto, stablecoins, and AI. A single whale dumped 24,000+ BTC ($310M) in a flash crash — price barely moved. It’s been a rollercoaster week, and I’ll break down everything you need to know about what really went down in Bitcoin. *This Week in Macro*  At the SCO summit in Tianjin, financial architecture for a new order was unveiled. Days later, Beijing’s military parade put China’s latest weapons on full display. Together: the launch of the New Shanghai Proof-of-Weapons Network → multipolar world order enforced by finance + AI + weapons. Meanwhile, Britain’s “Growth Plan” crashed the UK gilt market. France, UK, Japan bond yields spiked — talk of possible IMF bailouts for UK/France. In reaction Gold surged as central bank holdings hit 27% of reserves, highest in 29 years. The U.S. government fired a Fed governor while turning into a tech investor — America edging toward national socialism. I’ll unpack this and more in this week’s macro madness. *This Week in Geopolitics*  The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), led by Saudi Arabia, consolidates as Middle East hegemon. The Washington Post leaked a Tony Blair & Trump Gaza plan that has to be analyzed as I believe it reveals the West’s destabilization strategy within the Proof-of-Weapons framework. UAE warned Israel: annexing the West Bank is a red line, risking the Abraham Accords. The House Oversight Committee released 33,295 pages of Epstein files from the DOJ whilst multiple Venezuelan F-16s buzzed a U.S. warship — signaling the next Proof-of-Weapons playground. I’ll break down what this really means in this week’s geopolitical deep dive. Bitcoin and gold warnings, the New Shanghai Proof-of-Weapons Network, and the technocratic plans for Gaza and Western destabilization—it’s all connected.

🇺🇸🇬🇧🇪🇺Mass Shootings, Immigration & Unrest: Setting the Stage for the Pre-Crime Agenda #BitcoinHardTalk Episode 95 Hey-Hey, Bitcoin Wealth Builders! It’s Friday—and this week, I’m doing things differently. Normally, I break things down into This Week in Bitcoin, This Week in Macro, and This Week in Geopolitics. But the sheer pace of developments in what I call the Proof-of-Weapons Network—the police-and-surveillance state emerging globally, fueled by civil unrest campaigns—demands a sharper focus. Episode 95 of #BitcoinHardTalk goes deep into the weapons being deployed right now. Topics We’re Covering This Week: - Mass Shootings, Immigration & Unrest: How chaos is being used to set the stage for the Pre-Crime Agenda. - Immigration in the West: Why so much migration, and is the so-called “Muslim Invasion” narrative real—or engineered? - Do Jews Really Rule the World?: Breaking down the myths vs. the reality behind this long-standing claim. - The Proof-of-Weapons Network Endgame: What is the plan, and where is all this heading?   Why This Episode Matters The Proof-of-Weapons Network isn’t some abstract theory. It’s unfolding before our eyes—weaponizing unrest, migration, identity politics, and fear to justify ever-expanding control systems. If you want to understand how these pieces connect—and what this means for Bitcoin, freedom, and your future—this is an episode you can’t afford to miss.

Bitcoin warnings from Syria, Fed Independence in Question and Trump meeting Putin lead me to the question…Is the Fed Dead? | This Week In Bitcoin, Macro & GeoPolitics | BitcoinHardTalk Episode 94   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 94 of BitcoinHardTalk.   This Week in Bitcoin, Crypto & CBDCs As predicted last week, China has flip-flopped yet again: despite its long-standing ban, a Chinese firm just announced it will open Bitcoin and crypto trading. In the U.S., Gemini doubled down on its ambitions to go public, Tether recruited straight out of the White House as it positions itself for a U.S. stablecoin launch, and Strategy ruffled shareholders while engineering a scheme to stop Bitcoin sales. Meanwhile in the Middle East, Syria’s central bank issued fresh warnings against Bitcoin. No surprise there—they fear what true monetary freedom means for their people. It’s been a rollercoaster week, and I’ll break down how to protect yourself from China, Syria, and Strategy, plus everything you need to know about what really went down in Bitcoin. This Week in Macro Berkshire Hathaway’s Q2 results revealed the bite tariffs are taking out of U.S. corporations. The Trump administration’s agenda—fiscal dominance, undermining Fed independence, and potentially replacing up to four Fed seats with loyalists—forces us to ask: is the Fed dead? The Fed’s power to steer monetary policy is fading fast as the dollar weakens. The new EU/U.S. trade deal only reinforces the “vassalization” strategy I’ve been highlighting on BitcoinHardTalk. Meanwhile, Russia says it will keep selling oil to India regardless of U.S. tariffs, while the U.S.–China AI arms race accelerates—evidence we’re already living in a multipolar world. And to top it off, BlackRock CEO Larry Fink has stepped in as interim WEF chairman, tasked with managing the very global transition I’ve been preparing my audience for. I’ll unpack all this and the rest of this week’s macro madness. This Week in Geopolitics The Trump–Putin summit dominated headlines, but when you follow the money, the meeting changes little. Meanwhile, famine has now been officially declared in Gaza by UN-backed monitors, even as Israel prepares new settlement expansions and another invasion—this despite Hamas accepting a ceasefire deal brokered by Egypt and Qatar. Major G7 countries are preparing to recognize Palestine in September, leaving the U.S. and Israel increasingly isolated on the world stage. At the same time, Saudi Arabia and Syria announced plans for a joint investment fund, while Egypt has begun training 5,000 Palestinian police officers in coordination with Jordan—signs of shifting regional alliances. I’ll break down what all this really means in this week’s deep dive into geopolitics.

🇺🇸🇨🇳Google Tried to Ban Wallets.  China Targeted Bitcoin Ownership The US Announced it Wants to Seize Bitcoin for Its Reserves… This Week In Bitcoin, Macro & GeoPolitics    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 93 of BitcoinHardTalk.   This Week in Bitcoin, Crypto & CBDCs Google kicked off the week with a bombshell—announcing it would ban all wallets from Google Play if they weren’t licensed in the US or EU…even self-custody wallets. Then… they reversed it. 😂 China joined the chaos, declaring it would extend its bitcoin exchange and mining ban to cover crypto ownership. Then…they reversed it. 😂 Not to be outdone, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced America wouldn’t buy more bitcoin for its strategic reserves or revalue gold from $42. Then…you guessed it — he reversed it. 😂 A rollercoaster week—and I’ll break down exactly how to protect yourself from Google, China, and the dollar, plus everything you need to know about what really happened the week in Bitcoin.   This Week in Macro US consumer price inflation numbers came in calm…until producer price inflation smashed the calm with panic. Trump teased he was close to a trade deal with China and India—then it soured with India, who instead inked deals with Russia. Meanwhile, the US extended talks with China by another 90 days, just as Beijing told its tech giants to stop importing Nvidia and AMD chips for “national security” reasons. And just to keep the week spicy, Trump moved to militarize the police in Washington DC, sparking fears of unrest that could mirror LA’s past chaos. The US’s isolation-and-destabilization campaign keeps looking eerily like the playbook we’ve seen in the UK and Europe. I’ll unpack all this and the rest of the week’s macro madness.   This Week in Geopolitics The UK, EU, Australia, and Canada are racing toward a September deadline to formally recognize Palestine as a state—aiming to pressure Israel to end the genocide—while the world’s newest $2 trillion Norwegian sovereign wealth fund announced divestments from Israel. Meanwhile, Trump greenlit a full-scale occupation of Gaza by Israel while reportedly exploring a pardon deal for Ghislaine Maxwell—right before his meeting with Putin. This coincided with a $35 billion Egypt–Israel gas deal that triggered global outrage…but those who follow the money on Bitcoin Hard Talk may see it in a very different light. I’ll cover all this—and what it really means—in this week’s deep dive into this week in geopolitics.   Peace!   Simon Dixon 🚀     Disclaimer: The views expressed are solely those of Simon Dixon and do not represent the views of any organisations or individuals.

The UK has unveiled its plan to become a full surveillance state. Is this part of a grander plan orchestrated by BlackRock and Gulf nations? In Episode 92 of Bitcoin HardTalk, Simon Dixon decodes the real story, revealing how the Proof-of-Weapons network is buying UK and EU cooperation to de-colonize the Middle East. This episode follows the money to connect the dots between new trade deals, a rebounding US dollar, and the push to formally recognize Palestine as a state.   This Week in Bitcoin, Crypto & CBDCs With the UK unveiling its full plan to become a surveillance state this week, the urgency to build your Bitcoin wealth in self-custody has never been greater—especially as AI and stablecoins begin to integrate into the financial system. We’ll break down the latest developments, including: The impact of tariffs on Bitcoin mining Updates from PayPal, Interactive Brokers, eToro, Stripe’s crypto-stablecoin integration, and AI-powered payment surveys Billionaire Ray Dalio’s recommendation for a Bitcoin allocation The latest Bitcoin mining economics driven by treasury companies holding BTC And everything else that moved the Bitcoin markets this week. This Week in Macro We’ll explore new trade deals between the US and India, China, the EU, and Canada—and how they’re reshaping BRICS trade flows. We’ll also unpack the economics behind the UK & EU’s shift toward full-scale surveillance states. On the US front, we’ll discuss: The proposed $1 trillion stimulus following stronger-than-expected growth Stock markets dominated by tech mega-caps A rebounding US dollar that could trigger a $600 tariff rebate for Americans And why the Federal Reserve’s independence is increasingly under scrutiny. This Week in Geopolitics As the Gaza starvation campaign becomes increasingly exposed, the UK, EU, and Canada are pushing toward a September deadline to formally recognize Palestine as a state to place public pressure on Israel to end the genocide. I’ll follow the money trail to reveal: How the Proof-of-Weapons network and Gulf states are buying UK & EU cooperation to de-colonize the Middle East. The role of BlackRock and Palantir in shaping economic and political outcomes, often at the expense of state sovereignty And fresh updates on the Epstein blackmail operation   Disclaimer This content is based on the views, commentary, and live analysis delivered by Simon Dixon in Bitcoin HardTalk Episode 92.

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 91 of BitcoinHardTalk.   This Week in Bitcoin, Crypto & CBDCs The Genius Act has now officially passed, and after reviewing the fine print, it’s clear: banks can now issue stablecoins backed by $3.5T in Fed deposits with on-chain yield. It’s the closest we’ve seen to a covert U.S. CBDC, likely to be led by JPMorgan Chase. I break down what this means for Bitcoin’s role as the last monetary escape hatch. Meanwhile, the IMF sparked controversy by claiming El Salvador isn’t building Bitcoin reserves—just as Trump reportedly added $2B in Bitcoin to Trump Media’s balance sheet. And finally, an analysis showed that 74% of Bitcoin is now held by long-term holders, hitting a 15-year high and signaling deep conviction.   This Week in Macro Markets recalibrated as Trump’s trade tariffs are expected to hit closer to 25%, on average not the 10% currently floated. Trump also made headlines with a dramatic visit to Jerome Powell at the Fed’s new HQ—another symbolic power move in his campaign to dominate U.S. monetary policy. I also created a new blog to explore the latest in the Proof-of-Weapons network war economy: how the Israel Stock Exchange is reacting to the Gaza crisis, and how global boycott and divestment efforts are now shaping capital flows.   This Week in Geopolitics The Epstein list remains sealed, fueling growing distrust—even within Trump’s base—and deepening the fracture lines in US politics. But beyond the domestic drama, I take a closer look at the escalating arms economy: from Ukraine to the looming flashpoint between China and Taiwan, the proof-of-weapons network is thriving, with new arms deals and ballooning budgets revealing who’s really profiting from global instability. Finally, I also dropped a new blog exploring how religion is being weaponized to distract from the real story—war profiteering. As uncomfortable truths emerge, old conspiracies like “Jews rule the world” are being recycled to deflect attention. In this episode, I follow the money with cold, hard data to expose how wealth and power are actually shifting—and why the facts dismantle the fiction.

No US Bitcoin reserve, no Epstein list, but a new war in Syria. This week, Simon Dixon breaks down the explosive headlines, connecting the dots between the US government's mysteriously disappearing Bitcoin, the geopolitical chess game behind the Epstein cover-up, and the escalating conflict in the Middle East. 🚀 In this Episode:  This Week in Bitcoin, Crypto & CBDCs Bitcoin surged to fresh all-time highs of $122.484 this week whilst BlackRock prepares to tighten its grip on Ethereum by expanding its ETH ETF to staking.  Meanwhile, Capitol Hill was busy—all three major crypto bills passed in the House: the Genius Act, Clarify Act, and Anti-CBDC Act.  But amid the policy shifts, a bombshell dropped: the U.S. Marshals Service disclosed that the U.S. government’s Bitcoin strategic reserve has dwindled to just 28,000 BTC, down from over 200,000. Where did the Bitcoin go? We’ll unpack it all.   This Week in Macro Nvidia’s stock rocketed, following the Trump administration’s surprising approval of H20 chip exports to China. Inflation ticked upward again as CPI reversed course, and Jerome Powell faced political heat in the form of a letter requesting his retirement.  Meanwhile, Russia received high tariff threats, Japan continued its economic tailspin, and China quietly built up an oil reserve that could soon rival—or surpass—OPEC+ in strategic importance. This Week in Geopolitics Domestic U.S. politics grew more fractured as the Epstein List remained sealed and details of Trump’s involvement with Epstein fueled speculation and distrust among his base.  But the real powder keg this week was the Middle East, where escalating conflict drew global condemnation and furthered the controversial territorial gains of the Greater Israel project in Syria that erupted into violent conflict again. Tensions are rising—and the fallout is significant in global geopolitical power dynamics Disclaimer This content is based on the views, commentary, and live analysis delivered by Simon Dixon in Bitcoin HardTalk Episode 90.
