Simon Dixon EXPOSES Who Really Runs The WORLD!! | EP 1427 · Simply Bitcoin

0:01
Today I'm here with Simon Dixon to discuss the truth about
0:06
what's going on in the world and how you can protect yourself and
0:10
your money. And if we're living through an
0:13
economic reset, Simon, thank you so much for being here.
0:17
Let's begin this deep dive by giving the people a simple, high
0:20
level summary of who really runs the world.
0:24
OK, All right. So you know, I've been involved
0:28
in Bitcoin for 15 years, but before I was involved in
0:31
Bitcoin, I was a part of the monetary reform community.
0:35
And over time I kind of coined the phrase called proof of
0:40
weapons and proof of weapons. The proof of weapons network is
0:45
essentially the fact that the West is fully captured both
0:51
politically on the corporate level and behind the corporate
0:56
level. There's all sorts of other
0:58
factions of power. But right now, if you look at
1:01
America, for example, the Federal Reserve is owned by its
1:06
shareholders and its shareholders are the banks.
1:09
Those banks are part of a financial industrial complex.
1:13
It consists of those that create the dollar, which is the private
1:16
commercial bank, those that create the securities, which is
1:20
the investment banks, and those that buy the securities, which
1:24
is the asset managers, the private equity and the venture
1:28
capital side. Together.
1:31
You put together what all these different players, and because
1:35
most of those companies are now public, they're under the
1:39
control and they work under what I call a financial industrial
1:42
complex. Now the financial industrial
1:46
complex, because all companies and power structures require
1:50
access to capital, they're able to utilize and coordinate with
1:56
other power structures. Now the, the structure that
2:00
really built the dollar and forced the world onto the dollar
2:04
was the military industrial complex.
2:06
And that, you know, represents the the different corporations.
2:10
Now, most of them are public companies and most public
2:13
companies belong to the largest shareholders are the ones that
2:17
are able to pull everybody's pension together.
2:19
So the ETFs. And so it's kind of represented
2:23
by Black Rock, State Street, Vanguard and other large asset
2:27
managers, as well as the military industrial complex.
2:31
Underneath that you have the quote UN quote, deep state.
2:35
And the deep state is really where the CIA and competing
2:39
factions that are not accountable and do not work for
2:43
the interests of national security.
2:45
About 10% of it is 90% is to serve the corporate interests,
2:49
to prop up the dollar through war and through perpetuating war
2:54
and getting the resources that are needed for the companies
2:58
that exist underneath this financial industrial complex.
3:02
So you have the financial industrial complex where you
3:04
have access to capital, the creators of the dollar and the
3:08
pullers of all the capital that can divert money underneath
3:12
that. It uses its investment bank in
3:14
order to subordinate companies and they get board seats on all
3:20
of these companies by becoming the largest shareholders and
3:23
they subordinate them by giving them access to capital, the bond
3:27
markets and everything else through their Federal Reserve
3:30
and broke, you know, direct dealer network.
3:34
Now there are the factions of power, but there are within this
3:38
network, this proof of weapons network.
3:40
You can weaponize finance, you can weaponize military, but the
3:44
neo military industrial complex is the technical industrial
3:48
complex. So this is the ability to run
3:51
algorithms and put and, you know, dictate behaviour based
3:57
upon social media and everything that exists in these very large,
4:01
very powerful technical companies.
4:05
They also get military con contracts.
4:07
They also have back doors into surveillance and spy networks,
4:13
blackmail operations. So you can integrate it into the
4:17
illegal stuff through the deep state.
4:19
And then you can use various other colonies to do the really
4:23
illegal stuff and fund all these dark operations.
4:27
And that's where you have the criminal networks that prop up
4:29
the dollar as well. But then you have a technical
4:33
industrial complex. And the final piece of the
4:35
equation, there's more, is, you know, the media.
4:38
And so the media is obviously weaponized in order to propagate
4:44
whatever is needed to maximize the returns of the financial
4:48
industrial complex. So if you want to pump a stock,
4:52
you have this vast derivative network in order to force
4:56
subordination through the deep state.
4:59
You have all the blackmail operations to ensure that
5:02
everyone's compromised through the access to index tracking
5:08
funds. You can control through ratings
5:11
agencies whether somebody gets in the S&P 500, which then gives
5:15
them access to a steady flow of capital.
5:19
And obviously you can print the money.
5:20
And the idea is that you need to leave the government with all
5:24
the debt for the people and push all the value into the stock
5:28
market and receive all the yield in the bond market.
5:32
And that's the game. And then eventually you end up
5:35
at the end of a debt cycle and you kind of move on to your
5:39
global financial industrial complex, which is the stage that
5:42
we're in right now, where essentially you have to partner
5:47
with other pools of capital. And that's mainly represented by
5:51
the largest sovereign wealth funds in the world.
5:54
In the case of Europe, that's Norway.
5:57
In the case of Asia, that's China.
5:59
And then you have the Gulf sovereign World funds.
6:02
And then you have other networks like the Singapore Sovereign
6:05
World Fund. And so all together, it's
6:08
created this transnational capital that is able to utilize
6:13
the US military industrial complex, weaponize the dollar
6:16
through the financial industrial complex for the people and
6:20
control the narrative through the media, and then push people
6:24
into algorithmic social credit scores and artificial
6:28
intelligence and behaviour through the technical industrial
6:31
complex. Most often in a bull market,
6:34
they're all aligned. And you can manage a portfolio
6:37
of hedge funds, derivatives, all the, you know, the different
6:40
things, but sometimes they go off into power struggles.
6:45
And so we're witnessing a few power struggles.
6:47
For example, you know, the the banks, the JP, you know, the
6:52
biggest and most influential player on the top of the chain
6:54
is JP Morgan. And then we're BlackRock.
6:57
They're the asset managers. And what you're witnessing right
7:00
now is a bit of a power struggle for the Fed.
7:04
Now, most people think that it's the government that's deciding,
7:07
but remember, the government consists of the three different
7:10
powers, the Senate, the Congress and the judicial.
7:13
They are all prostitutes for power.
7:16
And so if you want to, if you want to make it in Congress or
7:19
Senate, then you have to receive lobby financing.
7:23
The higher you go, the more compromised you have to be.
7:27
And you only climb to the top if you're the most compromised
7:30
because they need to sustain the power network.
7:34
And you essentially go out to all your lobbies, military
7:37
lobbies, financial lobbies, technical lobbies, and all the
7:40
different lobby networks. And you have to basically
7:44
deliver. And so each congressman and
7:47
Senate person, when they receive money, they have to prove their
7:51
utility to the network. And the more you can prove, the
7:54
more you can do for military, financial, technical, other
7:58
lobby powers, the more money you get.
8:00
The more money you get, the more marketing you get, the more the
8:03
media is. And then they try.
8:05
And as you go up the up the structure, you get more and more
8:08
compromised until suddenly you're on an Epstein list at the
8:11
very, at the very top. And you know, this is the this
8:17
is the power structure. And obviously through the deep
8:19
state, you're able to run these very large criminal blackmail
8:23
operations to gain control of judicial, to prop up these
8:27
criminal networks that essentially force the world onto
8:31
the dollar, pillage assets and make sure that every country is
8:35
subordinate, printing their currency to prop up the dollar
8:40
until no one will buy those bonds.
8:42
And once people won't buy those bonds, they reconfigure the
8:46
world by devaluing a currency, pushing capital out to other
8:51
players in the network and setting up the next game.
8:54
And these games tend to happen, You know, there was the British
8:57
Empire and then there's the American Empire.
8:59
And now we work, we're moving to a world of multi polarity and
9:03
and that's not China versus America, that's transnational
9:09
capital coordinating and using politicians like Trump in order
9:14
to reset the order, maximize their returns and leave the
9:19
people bag holders of all of the debt.
9:23
Love it, love it. Great framework to continue on
9:26
this conversation. I could go in so many rabbit
9:29
holes right now, but I think one of the probably the the more
9:33
spicier conversation is what you just said at the end.
9:36
There's a lot of conversation right now of Trump being the
9:39
savior. I really like your framework of
9:42
he's ushering us into a multipolar world.
9:45
We just saw the World Economic Forum and one of the big pushes
9:49
they were talking about, at least from the American
9:51
politician view, was the end of globalism.
9:54
So could we dive into how does the end of this unipolar world
9:58
where America is the world reserve currency, the Super, the
10:02
main superpower of the world and then entering into this
10:05
multipolar world, how does play out exactly?
10:08
Yeah, sure. So I recognize this a long time
10:12
ago, back in 2000. So the first thing is, is you
10:15
need to reject a few concepts. Everything you read in the
10:18
media, every headline, every social media post is normally
10:23
coordinated at a higher level of power.
10:26
And depending on who owns that media, they just are pushing
10:31
what they want you to believe. So there's no independent
10:34
journalism. You know, even if an independent
10:37
journalist thinks they're being independent, they'll quote their
10:39
source and that source will be somebody that's ex CIA.
10:43
And there's no such thing as ex CIA because these are higher
10:47
level implants that control narrative.
10:51
And so if you're analyzing media, the correct way to do
10:55
that is you need to understand who's funding that media and
10:59
whose agenda does it serve and what do they want you to
11:03
believe? So it's not what is true, it's
11:05
what they want you to believe. You know, so if you're looking,
11:08
they, they obviously have the classic Republican, Democrat,
11:12
left, right narrative that's to distract you from real power.
11:18
They always push out media to, to, to galvanized each side.
11:23
And so that's the the like, the first thing you need to
11:25
understand. The second thing you need to
11:27
understand is nothing that politicians say is real.
11:31
Politicians are battering Rams to fulfill the mission of their
11:36
lobbies and make people still believe in the system like it
11:40
matters if they vote. Money determines who wins the
11:43
election and politicians are selected, not elected.
11:48
And so each flavor of politician galvanizes a certain population.
11:54
And then they have to play these two year games where basically
11:58
they have to get their next round of funding in two years.
12:01
And then there's an auction. And you have government
12:04
shutdowns where you have these different auctions.
12:06
So you have Congress and Senate doing what the lobby said they
12:09
need to do. They get funding through these
12:11
different things. And at the top, you've got the
12:14
president whose mission is to do whoever they work for.
12:18
So when you look at a politician, what I first do is I
12:21
look at who funded that politician.
12:24
And so if you look at Trump, his number one backer was Elon Musk.
12:28
Elon Musk is a node for the technical industrial complex
12:32
that relies upon borrowing against his stock.
12:35
So he's subordinate to the financial industrial complex.
12:39
And then they allow him to buy companies like X as long as they
12:42
push the algorithm into propping up the network on X, which is
12:47
building a social credit score today.
12:50
And also, he relies upon Pentagon budget.
12:52
So he's a part of the military industrial complex.
12:55
If he builds the right technology, which he has given
12:59
through DARPA and various other CIA venture capital arms, they
13:03
take the American people's money, hand it over to these
13:07
entrepreneurs, manufacture them, and if they subordinate to the
13:11
network and they comply enough, then their stock price goes up
13:15
and they get richer and richer and richer.
13:17
But they always need to be subordinate to debt capital
13:20
markets and equity capital markets and blackmail operations
13:23
so they don't go too far off, off the grid, as it were.
13:29
So Trump was funded by Elon Musk #2 was Bank of New York Mellon,
13:34
the Mellon banking dynasty and family which is legacy financial
13:38
industrial complex, and #3 was Mariam Adelson.
13:41
Now Mariam Adelson represents Israel.
13:44
Israel represents buying the illegal the illegal West Bank
13:51
settlements, which means that they are in operation a subset
13:56
of the military industrial complex.
13:58
Their job is to create divide and conquer in the Middle East
14:01
and make sure that nobody can ever be stable and compare A and
14:05
create a competing power. Now what happened with Trump is
14:09
that he via his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, who was married
14:14
in via the Epstein before Epstein into his
14:18
daughter-in-law, which was through the Roy Coon blackmail
14:21
networks, Roy Cohn, sorry, and Charles Kushner, who did all the
14:26
black who was like Epstein before Epstein, let's call it.
14:31
He was married into that and he was funded via a fund called
14:35
Affinity Partners. Now Affinity Partners is a multi
14:38
billion dollar sovereign wealth fund, Gulf sovereign wealth
14:43
fund, funded VC venture capital fund.
14:47
So he's got his lobby money for technical, then financial, then
14:52
military, and that's his priority.
14:55
He works for the technical, then he works for the financial
14:58
institutions, mainly the BlackRock money manager pool
15:03
rather than the JP Morgan pool. So there's a slight, there's a
15:06
slight, you know, fixed faction there.
15:10
And then underneath that military, which is Israel.
15:13
And so you expect him to work in that order and that's what he
15:17
does. So the very first thing he
15:18
announced was the ginormous AI project.
15:22
The reason that in BlackRock, Rick Ryder, the CIO is being
15:26
installed into the Fed right now is because there's lots of the,
15:30
the function of private credit markets is broken.
15:34
It is broken right now. And so the AI data centres rely
15:39
on private credit and the buy side, the fund managers rather
15:44
than the banks, because the banks are mainly real estate
15:47
creating credit to prop up more orthodox Jerome Powell.
15:51
So Jerome Powell needs to be taken out, Rick Ryder needs to
15:54
go in, and then you can get all of this AI data centre and
15:59
you've got to push a big narrative in the media, which is
16:02
China's about to take over AI and we need to have, we're going
16:06
to strategically die if we don't pump all of this money, roll
16:11
over the debt, run through the debt ceiling, and then you get
16:15
to the debt ceiling and then the next blackmail operation and
16:17
bribe. All networks kick in at every
16:20
phase. So all this to say, but where is
16:23
his big money? His big money is the Middle East
16:27
and sovereign wealth funds. And so they managed to use Trump
16:31
in order to buy a reset of the world order.
16:36
Now, what happened on that side of the world is you essentially
16:39
had China that's built up its manufacturing base, has been
16:44
investing in Africa, the global South, in Middle East, and there
16:49
was a switch around Trump administration, one where
16:53
through fracking, America became energy independent.
16:57
Once you're energy independent, you become an exporter of oil
17:01
and gas. Now you're competing with the
17:04
Gulf sovereign wealth funds. So you've got to ask yourself,
17:08
originally there was a dependency, but now where is
17:12
this Gulf sovereign money coming from?
17:14
It's coming from China. So China's buying oil from Iran,
17:18
Venezuela, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and natural gas obviously, and
17:23
all of these different sources, Nigeria and China's building up
17:28
those countries and basically reversing all the work that the
17:32
IMF did. The IMF always destroyed
17:36
countries through covert operations, installed dictators,
17:40
wiped out their country and made sure that through corruption
17:43
networks, it was just working on propping up the dollar, whereas
17:47
China's working on building the country so that they can they
17:50
can buy their assets. So this created competition to
17:54
the IMF which was propping up the dollar and competition to
17:58
the deep state and the military, which was propping up the
18:00
dollar. And now the Gulf countries.
18:03
Basically, China came along and said, Iran, Saudi, you're going
18:09
to normalize. And we don't want Israel
18:11
destroying the region anymore and propping up military
18:15
operations. So we're going to reset the
18:17
world order. And so Iran started changing
18:21
their behaviors, shedding their proxies.
18:24
There was, you know, October the 7th was an operation to reset
18:29
the order. And people think of these things
18:31
as what they are. Don't believe any of the media.
18:34
That's all the story to manipulate your emotions into
18:38
believing that this is based upon something else other than
18:42
the, the, the, the military industrial complex operations.
18:47
So what did you have now? You had Chinese money fueling
18:52
all the sovereign wealth funds. And So what did they start to
18:55
do? They started to sell their
18:58
government debt because they partnered with the force that
19:02
controls the West, which is the financial industrial complex,
19:06
the proof of weapons network. So the financial industrial
19:09
complex managed to negotiate that the military can no longer
19:13
do forever wars which back up the dollar.
19:17
They can't force everyone onto the dollar.
19:19
And they started breaking the Japan carry trade, the euro
19:23
dollar, the Petro dollar. And then Trump started taking
19:27
out all the apparatus that propped up the dollar, i.e.,
19:30
USAID, the COVID operations. And so he gets to say we're
19:34
making America great again while he weakens the dollar.
19:39
But what do the financial industrial complex want?
19:41
They want all the value to go to the stocks and they want their
19:44
collateral, which is the bond market, to still function.
19:48
And so basically the mission is destroy the dollar slowly, not
19:53
in a sudden way. And so you had these different
19:56
operations, everybody else moves out into commodities, the debt
20:00
rolls over, which will be dumped on the American people.
20:04
Refinance, re regulate the the private credit market by
20:10
deregulating the pensions, allow the dollar to be turned into a
20:16
surveillance day through stable coins and crypto policy, and
20:20
then pump up the stocks like crazy.
20:25
And run the economy hot as possible while they manage their
20:28
capital outflows. And then tariffs was the perfect
20:31
way of essentially getting all of the the deals renegotiated,
20:37
bankrupting small business. Because remember, America is an
20:40
importing country. Tariffs means the importer pays
20:44
the tariff, the small business goes bust.
20:47
Just like COVID, they get gobbled up.
20:49
If you look at all the banks right now or MNA is the number
20:53
one source of revenue. They just released their
20:55
financial reports. Military companies are exiting
20:58
the Middle East but moving to defence contracts.
21:01
It's all moving to cybersecurity and artificial intelligence.
21:06
And this is because essentially transnational capital has formed
21:10
an alliance in a multi polar world.
21:12
So it's Chinese money based upon manufacturing base and
21:15
infrastructure that is then fueling the sovereign wealth
21:19
funds. And Saudi sat down with Trump
21:22
and said, I want to buy a trillion dollars of your
21:24
equities because the dollar is weakening.
21:28
They can no longer protect the peg on their currency.
21:31
So they have to sell treasuries or sell gold.
21:35
They're not going to sell their gold in the current market.
21:37
So they're selling their treasuries to buy US equities.
21:41
And when the Gulf sovereign wealth funds partner with the
21:44
financial industrial complex, essentially all of American
21:49
innovation can be used in the Middle East to build all these
21:52
data centres. You can even use the US military
21:56
to go get a bunch of oil from Venezuela.
21:59
And so transnational capital from China to the sovereign
22:03
wealth funds to the financial industrial complex is asset
22:06
stripping the entire West and bring in all of those military
22:11
operations back home. So you're seeing lots of civil
22:14
unrest, colored revolutions, demographic changes,
22:18
weaponization of algorithms to fuel religious tensions, and
22:23
anything to make the West into civil unrest.
22:26
So you can asset strip it, push it all into the stock market,
22:30
subordinate Europe, subordinate all these different Latin and
22:34
Central America, and just reset the world order into this new
22:39
reality that the America now needs to look like it's strong
22:44
while it's shrinking to a regional power.
22:47
And the world is divvied up for the financial industrial
22:49
complex. So there's no confrontation
22:52
here. The powers that control America
22:54
are working with the sovereign wealth funds fueled by China,
22:59
and they're splitting up the world into the various regions
23:02
and the transnational capital will control.
23:06
So it sounds like, as the old George Carlin quote was, it's a
23:11
big club and we're not a part of it.
23:15
Absolutely. But all you need to do is stop
23:18
reading headlines, stop believing in politicians, stop
23:21
believing that there's a political solution and that you
23:24
can vote your way out of it, But just follow the money.
23:28
And for the last 25 years, all I've done is follow the money.
23:32
And when you follow the money, I'm just a geek that looks at
23:35
every aspect and all financial statements you get, it's a
23:39
leading indicator into what's happening in the world.
23:42
And the only countries that are going to not be vassalized into
23:46
this network and power structure are the ones that were able to
23:49
use their resources, use their currencies, not to give more
23:54
power to the banks. So the dollar and the Federal
23:56
Reserve System is a debt based Ponzi scheme to subordinate the
24:01
entire country to the real power and subordinate the government
24:04
to the real power, the financial industrial complex.
24:08
Whereas other countries, their banks are part of an
24:11
infrastructure that maintains the capital in like China and
24:16
the Sovereign World Fund countries.
24:17
And then they use their resources in order to protect
24:21
their economies, build their sovereign wealth.
24:23
And then that becomes a weapon that you can use to negotiate
24:27
with the financial industrial complex.
24:29
And if you're not being subordinated and vassalized,
24:33
that's where the highest birth rates are.
24:35
And so once you've got those birth rates, black rocks looking
24:39
saying, right, the West is full degeneracy, full polarization,
24:44
suicides at the highest rates. Birth rates are at the lowest
24:47
rates. Drug addictions are at record
24:50
highs. All these, all these people that
24:52
went and fought are wars, they're come home, they're
24:55
homeless, they're mentally ill. And so all you can do with, with
25:00
that country is turn it into a police and surveillance day,
25:04
Orwellian nightmare and maximize it through, you know, your nodes
25:08
like Palantir and take that technology and all those things
25:12
that you did around the world and bring it back home.
25:15
And so that's the that's the tension that we're witnessing
25:17
right now. Got it 100%.
25:20
OK, guys, so I'm going to take a quick commercial break.
25:23
We'll come back. I, I actually, actually before I
25:25
do that, Simon, a lot of people say that you're a doomer.
25:29
I, I don't think of you as a doomer when you're just
25:32
explaining what's going on as a bitcoiner.
25:35
We know what the solution is, but what, what is your response
25:38
to people saying, man, Simon, like this sounds like a lot of
25:42
doom and gloom. What?
25:44
What is your view when people say that about you?
25:47
I just don't really care. All I care about is accuracy.
25:50
And so, you know, I've been publishing all of my forecasts
25:53
for 15 years, since I spoke at the first Bitcoin conference
25:57
when I was a monetary reformer. And what I say is never popular.
26:01
A couple of years later, it tends to come back and people
26:04
say, OK, I see what you were doing now.
26:06
I'm not here to give hope. Him.
26:08
I'm not here to tell you the world is better than it is.
26:10
I'm not here to tell you the world is worse than it is.
26:13
I'm here to tell you from my experience, having worked in
26:16
investment banking, having built business and understand how
26:19
venture capital and public markets work, haven't understood
26:23
that markets haven't been an investor in you know, I was an
26:27
investor in Coinbase, Kraken, Bitstamp, Bitfinex, Circle, all
26:32
the largest companies that made our industry.
26:34
And I've seen them go from a little mission to support
26:37
Bitcoin to be in subordinate to the financial industrial complex
26:42
to go and you have to engage in, I've seen this network 100
26:46
different times I've invested in these companies.
26:49
So they're also that is coming from you're probably in the West
26:54
now, the fall of the West or the slow decline and vassalization
26:58
of the West is good if you're rich is very good if you're
27:02
rich. But the rich will get richer and
27:04
the poor will get poorer. And you need to know how to
27:06
manage that now. If a storm is coming, you just
27:10
want to know what's going on. You don't want to be lied to.
27:13
You need to get a raincoat, get an umbrella, fix your roof, and
27:16
start getting to work. Or what you need to do to
27:18
protect yourself and politicians and media.
27:21
They're lying about everything right now.
27:23
But here's the bullish message. You also need to decide where
27:27
where you want to live. Because if you're living in a
27:29
country where the cities are going to go to shit and you
27:32
can't afford to move, you need to get more rural.
27:36
And you also need to know that the fall of the West is the best
27:40
news in the world for countries that have been on the other side
27:44
of the military industrial complex.
27:46
Bombs, you know, this is Africa's time to utilize their
27:49
resources. This is the Middle East ending
27:51
the forever wars. 10s of millions died, death and
27:54
destruction. This is Asia's opportunity to
27:58
rise and so capital doesn't disappear.
28:01
And then you can either live in a fantasy, in a reality where
28:04
your politicians are lying to you about absolutely everything,
28:08
or you can accept that this is how it is.
28:12
And I don't advocate for anything.
28:14
I only care about accuracy. And if I'm wrong, I'll say it.
28:18
But I don't think I'm wrong about these things.
28:21
And you can get prepared or you can look for some Hopian, but
28:25
there is trends here. And so doomerism is great for
28:31
other countries. And that's the world.
28:33
We're just shifting. Capital is shifting.
28:35
And you need to decide how you're going to make your moves,
28:37
how you're going to protect yourself, your family, your
28:40
community and those around you. Got it.
28:44
Love it. OK, guys, so quick commercial
28:46
break. When we come back, we'll talk
28:47
about how Bitcoin fits into this.
28:49
I do want to touch on, you know, the place of gold and silver
28:52
currently, they're on historic runs.
28:54
I want to, you know, continue to dig your brain about the
28:58
geopolitics and the macroeconomic state that we
29:00
currently are seeing right now. As you mentioned, we are seeing
29:05
a monetary reordering happen in real time, and I think a lot of
29:08
people are missing what they should be watching.
29:10
So after this quick commercial break, we'll touch on all of
29:13
that. We'll be right back in one
29:15
minute. Today's episode is brought to
29:19
you by Bitcoin Well Infinite. If you're a serious Bitcoin
29:23

30:16
I want to give a shout out to our partner Stamp seed.
30:18
Is your Bitcoin in cold storage really secure?
30:21
Are your seed phrases really secure?
30:23
Stamp Seeds Do It Yourself Kit has everything you'll need for
30:27
you to hammer your seed words into commercial grade titanium
30:30
plates instead of just writing them down on paper.
30:33
Paper is fragile. Titanium plates are strong.
30:37
Your words are actually stamped into the titanium plate with
30:41
this hammer and these letter stamp tripping tools.
30:44
Once the words are in, they aren't going anywhere.
30:47
No risk of the plate breaking apart and pieces falling
30:51
everywhere. Titanium stamp seeds will
30:53
survive nearly triple the heat produced by a house fire.
30:56
They're also crush proof, waterproof, non corrosive, and
31:00
time proof. And now you can customize your
31:03
titanium seed plates. You can upload your design or
31:07
logo and they will laser engrave it on the back of your seed
31:11
plate, the opposite side of where the words are.

31:28
Actually, Simon, before we touch on the things that I just
31:32
mentioned, it looks like our audience on simply Bitcoin is
31:36
still a little confused and they're wondering who is the
31:39
financial industrial complex exactly.
31:41
So maybe we can dive into the different factions, the
31:45
financial industrial complex, who they are, what, what they're
31:48
represented by. And then I think most people
31:51
are, are pretty familiar with the military industrial complex.
31:54
So as the audience wants to know, what is or who are the
31:58
players in the financial industrial complex?
32:01
Yeah, so the post World War 2 Bretton Woods order was built
32:04
upon the military industrial complex.
32:07
But as the markets grew and grew and grew, access to capital
32:13
became the primary source of funding and so the military
32:16
relied upon Pentagon budget. So the ability for the bond
32:19
market to continually roll over the debt based Ponzi scheme now
32:24
because the government is fully subordinate and dependent upon
32:27
the bond market functioning. Because to have world reserve
32:31
currency, you need to export dollars globally and you need to
32:35
roll over the Ponzi, which means you need to perpetuate debt, you
32:39
know, an ever increasing level of debt.
32:43
And so that requires selling more bonds.
32:45
So the first thing is the bond holders.
32:47
So who are the bondholders? That's a really important thing.
32:51
If you look at today, $65 trillion of US assets owned by
32:55
foreign countries, foreign sovereign wealth funds, central
32:59
banks and various other foreign, you know, pension funds and
33:03
asset managers. So you have the bond market.
33:08
You also have basically the creators of the dollar, which is
33:12
the private banks. So JP Morgan Chase, Bank of
33:15
America, Citibank. Now they're able to create a
33:19
dollar every time they issue a loan, and they have to
33:22
continually increase those loans because essentially because they
33:27
create all dollars, the interest on the dollars doesn't exist.
33:31
And so your job is to create a mechanism for collateralizing
33:35
all those dollars. So rather than lending to
33:38
business, you tend to lend in speculative assets and real
33:43
estate. Then what you do is you take all
33:45
of that real estate because every time you issue a mortgage,
33:48
you get to roll over the debt. You get consumers into debt,
33:51
governments into debt and corporations into debt.
33:54
Now if you're a large corporation, the closer you are
33:58
to the 0% money, the more power you get.
34:01
And so obviously the closest is the banks and and financial
34:05
institute, the banks that are able to create the dollar.
34:09
Now they also have a partner, which is the the investment
34:15
banks. The investment banks is to take
34:17
every business and turn it into a product that they can control.
34:21
And so they want to fill companies with capital.
34:25
They want to float them on stock markets for the equity capital
34:28
markets and they want to load them up with that through junk
34:32
bonds and and various other mechanisms.
34:35
And if they're cash flowing, they can also get some of the
34:37
bank that if the company's big enough.
34:40
So you create all these weapons and then you also create
34:44
derivatives so that you can manipulate those share prices.
34:49
And you use hedge funds and asset managers in order to
34:53
control those share prices and launch covert operations to
34:57
destroy bond markets, currency markets, equity markets.
35:02
So they control the market. And the more debt you load up
35:05
with, the more equity you sell them, the more subordinate to
35:09
the financial industrial complex you become.
35:12
That goes into different layers. So at the very bottom of the
35:15
layer you have, for example, you know, Silicon Valley, which is
35:20
loaded up with debt from the asset managers, the financial
35:24
industrial complex. So they're not like just people
35:27
think that they're like these rich people that set up these VC
35:31
funds. They're loaded up with that.
35:33
And that that comes from subordination to the financial
35:36
industrial complex. So they have to outperform the
35:39
debt by finding companies to invest in and putting in a
35:43
structure where the entrepreneurs become subordinate
35:47
to these venture capitalists. And they have it where if you in
35:51
order to grow, you need to get access to more and more capital.
35:55
C Series A, Series B, Series C And as you get bigger and bigger
36:00
into the next round, you become more and more subordinate to the
36:03
governance structure of the financial industrial complex.
36:07
Now maybe you can get access to private equity, which is if you
36:10
don't comply with the network, then your company can be turned,
36:15
you know, into a distressed asset when it's loaded up with
36:19
too much debt and the venture cap of the private equity
36:22
industry can asset strip you by you in distress, subordinate you
36:27
and hand over your assets to the to the the companies that are
36:31
most compliant with the network. So you got JP Morgan at the
36:36
investment banking level, Barclays, you know, Barclays,
36:39
Citibank, all the other different ones and it's
36:42
transnational as well. Now they mainly list on the US
36:46
stock market. They also list on European
36:50
markets and various other stock markets, you know.
36:53
And So what you need is a mechanism for owning the larger,
36:58
becoming the largest shareholder in all of those companies.
37:02
And that's where the asset managers come in.
37:04
The asset managers like BlackRock, State Street,
37:06
Vanguard, they essentially get access to your capital because
37:12
you decide rather than buying shares, you'll buy an ETF.
37:16
That ETF becomes a mechanism for continually as people invest
37:21
more and more in those ETFs. It's like a constant bid of
37:25
capital because if it's an S&P 500, it has to own all those 500
37:29
stocks in a wade way. And so by you paying your
37:32
pension, you contributing, you paying your insurance premiums,
37:37
you give more acts, you give more power to the asset
37:40
managers. Now, the largest asset manager
37:43
is BlackRock, which manages about $12 trillion of these
37:48
assets. They can then create ETS for
37:50
every commodity, every currency, every index, every market.
37:55
And once they become a majority shareholder, they get to control
37:58
the board, or at least have a board C So in a company, in a
38:02
corporate structure, you have the executives like Elon Musk,
38:07
they work for the board. The board is mainly appointed by
38:11
the investors and the board works for the shareholders.
38:15
Now the shareholders is normally a bunch of small give up their
38:19
proxy to the large asset managers.
38:22
And then you you start managing state funds and all these
38:26
different funds and it's a pay to play system.
38:29
The more you contribute, the more you get to buy the West.
38:32
And also they have sovereign wealth funds, which are also
38:35
their investors. So like the QAT sovereign wealth
38:39
fund is one of the largest foreign investors in BlackRock.
38:43
Once you become a shareholder in BlackRock, you get significant
38:47
influence over the collective W because they create constant
38:51
flows through ETFs into European markets, Japanese markets, all
38:56
the markets that they try and subordinate.
38:59
And then they get access to military where they can go do
39:02
covert operations, destroy countries, get them to use their
39:06
central bank to hyperinflate their currencies, get the hedge
39:09
funds out there to destroy their currencies, and just subordinate
39:12
a country so you can asset strip it through venture capital and
39:17
through private equity and push it into the public market and
39:21
stock. So essentially you have
39:24
different degrees and factions of power within a financial
39:27
industrial complex. It currently represents across
39:31
the key nodes and key players about $30 trillion a capital,
39:36
but a bunch of that is foreign controlled and foreign owned.
39:39
And so through that network, you control the government through
39:43
the financial lobby, military lobby, technical lobby.
39:47
And so then you get Senate, Congress and all those.
39:50
So it is a network of sophisticated financial
39:55
institutions that are coordinated through the largest
39:59
asset managers. There's often power struggles.
40:02
People think it's like an organized cabal.
40:05
It's not there are there are there are people that get
40:08
chucked off the network and it's a ruthless power struggle.
40:12
And almost all of them are compromised to ensure compliance
40:16
and to kind of keep keep the network survival is is that
40:21
mechanism. And that is what rules the West.
40:24
And that is what tried to subordinate as many countries as
40:27
possible through wars, through death, destruction, ethnic
40:32
cleansing, genocides, criminal networks, rape, pillaging,
40:36
stealing. And the goal is you have to use
40:39
your currency to lend it to the US government so that
40:43
bondholders can subordinate the government and then we can prop
40:48
up the value through the equity capital markets.
40:52
OK. So you mentioned asset managers,
40:55
ETFs and and the audience is now wondering how does Bitcoin fix
40:59
into this? And, and actually one of the,
41:02
one of my favorite, I guess perspective from you right now
41:07
is that most people are, I think are being distracted by where
41:11
the war is coming from. And I, I may be grossly
41:15
oversimplifying, but I love the idea that the real attack is
41:20
coming from Wall Street on Bitcoin.
41:22
So can you explain that mechanism and and where do you
41:25
think Bitcoin currently is in, in its history, in its
41:29
projection of where it's going to go?
41:31
Yeah, sure. So whenever a new asset class
41:34
comes along. So what is the idea behind
41:37
central banking is that once you have a central bank you need to
41:41
Co opt the private sector. So if you think about Britain,
41:46
the British Empire, you had the three nodes, you had the
41:49
government and their job is to just be the Piggy Bank and leave
41:54
the debt with the people. Then you have the Bank of
41:57
England whose job is to Co opt the currency and redirect it for
42:02
corporate interest and and banking interest.
42:06
And then you have the the wealth extraction vehicle which was the
42:10
the British East India Company. So what the British East India
42:14
Company is, it would use governments, would provide
42:17
legitimacy to the pound and then the pound would be used for the
42:24
benefit of the central banks and the banks.
42:27
And then the extraction would happen via the, you know, the
42:31
the British East India Company. It would go create wars to
42:35
essentially steal resources and turn shit currency, shit coins
42:39
like the pound into gold and silver.
42:42
And at the end of it, you end up with all the gold and all the
42:45
silver and the people end up with all the debt.
42:48
And then you move to the next empire.
42:50
And an empire typically requires a war to change or a currency
42:54
destruction vehicle or massive capital outflows.
42:57
So World War One and World War 2 was the transition from the Bank
43:01
of England to the Federal Reserve.
43:03
And so you took all of, you know, you put a revolution
43:07
within Russia and you replace the, the Russian SAW with the
43:11
Soviet Union and communism and you fund the Bolshevik
43:14
Revolution, you fund the fascists.
43:17
And you know, the Rice Bank, which is a member of the Bank
43:21
for International Settlements, they essentially funded, you
43:26
know, the, the Nazi Germany movement.
43:30
And they also were, if you look at the Federal Reserve, the Rice
43:34
Bank governor and the Federal Reserve governor in the 30s were
43:38
the Wahlberg brothers. And so through this mechanism,
43:42
you have fake capitalism, fascism, and communism.
43:45
All of it was funded via Wall Street.
43:48
And then you create a war in order to destroy currencies.
43:52
And then all of the gold from British colonialism ended up in
43:55
Fort Knox backing up the Federal Reserve and became the base to
43:59
build the manufacturing base in the military industrial complex.
44:04
And so anytime a new commodity comes along, you utilize Fiat
44:09
currency to steal it and centralized it as much as
44:13
possible. So Bitcoin was created in 2008.
44:18
You know, we had the launch of it in 2009.
44:22
I bought my first Bitcoin at $3 and spoke at the first Bitcoin
44:26
conference in 2011. I wrote the first published book
44:30
in 2011 and launched it at that conference.
44:36
And So what Bitcoin does is, you know, originally, I personally
44:40
believe it did come from intelligence roots, but it was a
44:44
gateway drug to what's happening today.
44:46
Stable coins and CBDC's, crypto shit coins, programmable money,
44:51
real world assets, you will own nothing and be happy.
44:55
World Economic Forum surveillance date nightmare.
44:57
Basically crypto capital. And so crypto capital is the
45:01
mechanism for how you steal all the assets and give everyone a
45:06
tokenized shit coin where they own nothing and they're happy.
45:09
And then you get to do some types of operations where
45:13
essentially what do you want in the end, where you want all the
45:15
Bitcoin, the real asset. And so, you know, Bitcoin became
45:20
open source, it became an escape valve.
45:24
And so those that were able to use Bitcoin in self custody,
45:29
they didn't lose them on exchanges, they didn't custody
45:32
it, and they ended up with becoming the new elite within
45:36
Bitcoin. And then there's multiple
45:38
operations to try and Co opt parts of the Bitcoin ecosystem.
45:42
But because it had these nodes, these miners, these developers
45:48
and these users, every time Co option happened, we kind of had
45:52
resistance movement and we had these spectrums of resistance.
45:56
And that's been Bitcoin's entire history that most people don't
45:59
even know. But eventually Wall Street
46:03
decided that they wanted to centralized as much Bitcoin as
46:06
possible, get as much of the Bitcoin mining as possible and
46:10
attempt to gain control over the Bitcoin developers as much as
46:14
possible. And so various operations were
46:17
launched. You know, we had three people
46:21
like the Bitcoin Foundation, then moving into MIT, then
46:26
moving into developer funding, and then we had competing
46:29
implementations and various other things that happened
46:33
throughout that that time in order to try and blackmail
46:36
developers. They had operations where
46:39
essentially 60% of the mining was happening in China.
46:42
And then suddenly we had the China mining ban that resulted
46:46
in 40% of the hash power being pushed over to Texas, pushed
46:52
into the Texas grid. And also Wall Street then took
46:56
those companies and made them public so that they could
46:59
essentially gain as much control over some of the mining hash
47:03
power through the American stock markets.
47:05
And the typical mechanisms, we had multiple attempts at ship
47:10
coins and forks, you know, different nodes were created
47:15
like block stream, you know, that was funded by various
47:18
factions of the financial industrial complex to try and
47:21
push psyops like say Craig Wright is Satoshi the, you know,
47:27
and then Gavin Andreessen supported that.
47:29
And then you had Roger Bear supported that.
47:31
And then you had just different types of psyops that led to
47:34
Bitcoin Cash and various other things.
47:37
And obviously you had the old Etherium thing and all this.
47:40
So they started building the proof of state control grid, the
47:44
surveillance state, the Silicon Valley shit coins.
47:47
They were supplementing their VC portfolios by launching all of
47:51
these alt coins that were pre mined, you know, dumping them
47:54
onto people and ending up with everyone.
47:56
You know, as much Bitcoin within Silicon Valley as you could.
48:00
So you centralized it initially into Silicon Valley as much as
48:04
possible. Then you try to get as much in
48:06
in Wall Street. And so you created the Bitcoin
48:09
treasury company. Now they're creating borrow
48:12
against your Bitcoin push more custody then they created you
48:17
know things like the ETF you had operation choke .2 point O
48:22
remember they always use the the two party system for uniparty
48:26
operation. So you had come after crypto
48:29
under the Biden administration, hostile takeover and various
48:34
operations connected to Mossad like Celsius, various hacks that
48:38
were done by Netanyahu's niece and nephew.
48:42
All of these different coordinated hacks and takedowns
48:45
make the industry look really bad.
48:46
Wipe out the banks that you wanted to roll up and then
48:51
incomes Trump. And then you get the BlackRock,
48:54
the banks, the favourable structure, the crypto lobby, the
48:58
legislation that allows for confiscation of Bitcoin.
49:01
You take the samurai wallet people, you look at all the
49:05
people that would be arrested and you just arrest the one
49:08
that's working on coin joints self custody.
49:11
You then Co-op different nodes like Coinbase through Larry Fink
49:16
and and then, you know, BlackRock becomes very positive
49:20
towards Bitcoin. Everyone gets tax incentivized
49:24
to roll up a bunch of that old Bitcoin, put it in Bitcoin
49:27
treasury companies, and then people are like, well, it's very
49:30
tax efficient. I don't want to learn how to
49:31
self custody. And so you buy the Bitcoin
49:34
BlackRock ETF. You create companies and
49:37
legislation where banks can use it as collateral.
49:41
You create stable coin regulations where you Co-op
49:44
someone like Tether. So Tether is essentially using
49:47
the government debt to build a massive Bitcoin position.
49:51
And then they're building out the largest private Bitcoin
49:54
mining network. And then obviously you do, you
49:57
know, by by Tether, you have a kill switch on these stable
50:01
coins. And then you use different nodes
50:05
like Elon and X to build out your social credit score.
50:08
Peter Thiel to build out your IAI surveillance date, David
50:12
Sachs in order to build out your crypto capital.
50:17
But essentially all this to say is that they want you to borrow
50:21
their Bitcoin, leverage your Bitcoin, hold custody of your
50:26
Bitcoin and they want to centralized it as much of it
50:29
into the proof of weapons network as possible.
50:33
And then you've got nodes like Cantor Fitzgerald that can allow
50:37
like take companies like Jack Jack Malla 21 Capital, roll them
50:42
up into SoftBank, Cantor Fitzgerald, Tether, roll up,
50:47
strike into that, get everyone to borrow against their Bitcoin.
50:50
And then using companies like Strategy, they can load it up
50:53
with corporate debt. They can build different types
50:57
of constructs where they're able to sell the Bitcoin.
51:01
If they can't raise enough debt, you fully subordinate Strategy
51:05
into the financial industrial complex.
51:08
And essentially within a few years they managed to get access
51:11
to centralized, you know, 2 million Bitcoin.
51:15
And then through a company like Strategy, you can basically
51:19
utilize it in and the derivative complex to try and control the
51:23
short term price of Bitcoin. Get people levered up with that,
51:27
get people to mine Fiat currency by borrowing against their
51:30
Bitcoin and just create this network to do what they did with
51:35
gold and to do what they did with silver, which is you
51:38
control the short term price. You utilize it to try and get as
51:42
much of the asset you really want, which is gold, silver, and
51:45
Bitcoin, and create financial weapons of mass destruction to
51:50
lever people up with that so that you end up with as much of
51:54
the Bitcoin as possible. That's the Wall Street attack.
51:58
The Trump administration was installed for the technical
52:01
Financial Industrial complex in order to get the Fed to be taken
52:06
over by BlackRock for monetary policy and get the debt rolled
52:10
over and the stock market up and then devalue the currency.
52:15
And then stable coins can take out as much of that government
52:18
debt and yield. And he's basically hedging
52:21
himself with Bitcoin with investments in the Middle East,
52:25
and he's essentially short the dollar while he's doing it.
52:29
OK, I have, I have a lot to unpack, but I do have to hit a
52:33
commercial break. I'm going to ask you a bunch of

55:02
That's BITKEY dot world with the code.
55:06
Simply OK Simon, so point blank question, do you think Bitcoin
55:18
has been Co opted since the ETFs were launched?
55:22
Bitcoin is the most decentralized thing that we have
55:25
in the world and it's not going to take on power, but it is
55:30
going to give you an exit and a boycott.
55:32
So people think that we're going to take down the financial
55:35
system, the financial industrial complex.
55:38
The FIC realized that they need to adjust to this reality and
55:42
they've Co opted as many players as they can and they continue to
55:45
do that as much as they can. All this to say that Bitcoin is
55:50
still the most decentralized thing we have, but the rich will
55:54
get richer. The financial industrial complex
55:57
will do very well out of Bitcoin, but your job if you
56:00
really care about Bitcoin is We need a community that still
56:04
believes in what Bitcoin was created and how it was
56:06
originally designed. We need people running notes.
56:10
We need people running, owning their Bitcoin in self custody.
56:13
We need people that aren't borrowing against their Bitcoin
56:16
through a centralized structure. And we need people that are
56:19
going to support different types of innovation that allow for
56:23
privacy on layer twos, you know, circular economies in the
56:27
countries that need Bitcoin the most.
56:30
And so everything I originally set out when I originally
56:32
started investing in Bitcoin companies, you know, I invested
56:36
in bit PESA because they were bringing Bitcoin to Africa.
56:38
I invested in Uno Coin because they were bringing Bitcoin to
56:41
India. I invest in ATM that was
56:43
bringing Bitcoin to Venezuela and Argentina I invested in Bit,
56:47
so that was bringing Bitcoin to Mexico.
56:51
The they have centralized and created a dependency and the
56:55
reason that Bitcoin is not going the way that gold is going right
56:59
now when it's meant to be going, that is because everybody gave a
57:03
chunk of it over to Wall Street and they're in the accumulation
57:07
phase and doing what they essentially did to gold and
57:09
silver. And so congratulations, it was
57:12
always going to happen. As we succeed Wall Street, we're
57:15
going to Co opt as much of it as they can and accumulate as much
57:18
of it as they can. And they have every power
57:21
structure to be able to do it. But we still need to maintain a
57:26
core community and we still have that.
57:29
That is actually going to be deciding, you know, running
57:32
those nodes and deciding which implementations of the code, you
57:36
know, of the node code that they're actually running.
57:39
And we still have that community.
57:42
And so it's still the most decentralized thing we have.
57:47
And the reason that I know it will succeed is because I
57:50
believe the reason that Bitcoin was created in the 1st place was
57:54
the same reason that the British Empire created the tax haven
57:59
islands. It's an escape for elites that
58:02
still want it as well. The rest of you, you were men
58:06
are owned Bitcoin in custody and you were men be a gateway drug
58:10
for getting everybody onto shit coins, stable coins and real
58:13
world assets, which is happening under the Trump administration
58:17
right now. But they still elite, still want
58:21
that exit. And our job is to recognize that
58:24
this is probably the only asset. Not everyone can get a seat on
58:28
the table when your country goes to shit and end up in Cayman
58:32
Islands or one of the islands designs or Singapore designs for
58:35
the elites. But everybody can get their own
58:38
little part of Bitcoin in self custody and run a node and
58:42
support the network. And so I'm confident we survive,
58:47
but the mission of taking down the financial industrial
58:51
complex, no, a chunk of Bitcoin has Co opted into that.
58:56
And so we are in partnership. And your job is to recognize, do
59:00
you want to fund death, destruction, war, violence and
59:03
fund the proof of weapons network, which is Bitcoin in
59:06
custody? Or do you want to actually
59:08
boycott, make the system weaker, and at least have a corner of
59:12
the world that's working on allowing people to be sovereign?
59:16
Because the only countries that are going to survive in this
59:19
multi polar world order and not be vassalized into the FIC are
59:23
the countries that have sovereign wealth.
59:26
The companies that don't have VC funding or Wall Street or
59:29
subordinate to the FIC and have their own Bitcoin strategic
59:32
reserves independent of these custodial relationships.
59:37
And the individuals that are able to say F you to the system
59:40
because they kept Bitcoin in self custody.
59:43
I understand it's more complex than that.
59:45
There's tax incentives, there's financial planning, there's
59:48
inheritance, there's all. The system is designed to
59:52
subordinate you to the debt based Ponzi scheme, mine Fiat
59:55
currency and end up with Bitcoin in custody just like gold.
59:59
Very few own their gold. Instead, they own IOU gold with
1:00:03
paper claims. That essentially allows them to
1:00:06
manipulate the price of gold and silver and that is why they do
1:00:11
it. So all this to say is that I
1:00:15
still think the Bitcoin will achieve its purpose.
1:00:17
It's an exit and a boycott, but very few will do that and most
1:00:22
of you will be useful idiots that will give more power to the
1:00:25
financial industrial complex on the wrong side of a margin call
1:00:29
mining Fiat currency while they take your Bitcoin and use it as
1:00:33
leverage to destroy your pension bond.
1:00:36
More countries and you work for transnational capital.
1:00:42
OK. So Simon, you mentioned gold and
1:00:44
silver. I think our audience, I'm sure
1:00:46
your audience is very familiar with what happened with gold and
1:00:49
silver last year. There has been this meme or this
1:00:53
idea of if some of the profits from gold and silver roll over
1:00:57
to Bitcoin, it's gonna go parabolic.
1:00:59
So from your opinion, what is going on with gold and silver
1:01:03
and what is it telling us about the future of Bitcoin?
1:01:07
So just like the military industrial complex had to lose
1:01:11
out from its revenue from all the wars in the Global South and
1:01:15
Middle East and Asia Pacific, they need to come home to make
1:01:19
up for lost profits because the financial industrial complex
1:01:22
created a model that persuaded to do that.
1:01:26
So the Mick had to give up on profits and they had to
1:01:28
compensate them with Europe and Latin and Central America.
1:01:33
But the but the FIC managed to get the Mick the to do that.
1:01:39
It is the same, you know, type of thing with gold as well at
1:01:45
the financial industrial complex because they are working with
1:01:49
sovereign wealth funds that have leverage and there are much
1:01:53
higher returns by just utilizing the liquidity of the US stock
1:01:58
market and burdening all the debt onto the people
1:02:02
manufacturing a surveillance and police state in the West.
1:02:06
Use the technical industrial complex and then they can
1:02:09
leverage all those assets in negotiating with countries that
1:02:12
have higher profit. But the FIC had to recognize
1:02:16
that reality and look for higher returns that comes with the
1:02:21
sacrificing slowly of the dollar in order to unwind positions and
1:02:27
use their capital outflow, which is why most stock markets are
1:02:30
outperforming the S&P, even ship coins like the pound, the euro,
1:02:36
the Japanese ones a bit. You know, it's an important one
1:02:39
in the node network, but you know, we're we're seeing a
1:02:43
weakening of the dollar relative to other ship coins and Fiat
1:02:46
currencies. But it is absolutely plummeting
1:02:51
with gold because the financial industrial complex told their
1:02:54
network of central banks that are members of the Bank for
1:02:57
International Settlements that we are now coordinating a slow
1:03:02
transition to box America into a regional power and therefore we
1:03:10
need to sacrifice the dollar as world reserve currency.
1:03:13
The FIC and now having to build bricks denominated types of
1:03:19
financial products. So the reason that all the stock
1:03:22
markets, even though London and UK as being sacrificed, pushed
1:03:26
into surveillance, pushed into demographic challenges,
1:03:30
destroyed and asset stripped economically, the stock market
1:03:35
still at all time high. That's because they're taking
1:03:37
the dollar denominated assets and slowly transitioning to
1:03:42
subordination of each country where the government use their
1:03:45
currency to prop up those stock markets and they're starting to
1:03:49
denominate these financial products in other currencies.
1:03:53
And then it launched a series of currency wars.
1:03:56
One of them was to break the Japan carry trade.
1:03:59
And so suddenly everyone in the world is putting down interest
1:04:03
rates, but Bank of Japan's putting up interest rates that
1:04:06
repatriates a bunch of capital. Suddenly Trump rages war on
1:04:12
Europe. That was done through the Biden
1:04:14
administration. Ukraine is not a war between
1:04:18
Ukraine and Russia. It is a war between asset
1:04:21
stripping for the financial industrial complex and Europe.
1:04:25
The goal was to destroy Europe, hand over parts of Ukraine to
1:04:30
Russia and and carve up the rest for BlackRock to get the rare
1:04:35
earth minerals to get the land and to create a nice wall
1:04:42
between Russia and the Western Hemisphere.
1:04:46
And so you, you had the, you know, the similar escalations
1:04:51
where everything's looking like chaos in the Middle East, but
1:04:53
moving towards peace. And so you're anyway, you're
1:04:57
getting all of these different carving carvings are.
1:05:00
That's because the financial industrial complexes need to
1:05:02
recognize his new reality that it now needs to subordinate as
1:05:08
many countries in the global S, which is what tariff policy was.
1:05:12
What tariff policy did is it drove the world to bricks, which
1:05:16
helped China split the world up into multi polarity and India.
1:05:21
It also helped Russia resolve. But, you know, firstly, they
1:05:25
want to take a a trillion dollars out of Europe.
1:05:29
They want to confiscate a bunch of money, push all that up to
1:05:31
the US stock market. That's why Trump started getting
1:05:34
NATO to pay for more and escalate the war.
1:05:37
There's no peace that's being negotiated there.
1:05:39
And that one will go on a little bit further.
1:05:43
And you basically bankrupt US small business through the
1:05:47
import tax, get a bunch of, you know, roll them up into the
1:05:53
multinational corporations. And the large multinational
1:05:57
corporations can offset their tariff by acquiring companies
1:06:02
like the export dependent companies in Vietnam, Cambodia,
1:06:07
various other nodes. So the ones that don't have
1:06:09
sovereign wealth, they all end up in these large multinational
1:06:13
corporations. M&A goes up, the world
1:06:16
transitions to multi polarity. America shrinks into regional
1:06:20
power. The stock market acquires all
1:06:22
the value, the debt is rolled over and the currency is taken
1:06:27
down. So then you do a theatrical war
1:06:32
on Europe. So you push narratives like at
1:06:34
the World Economic Forum, like the Zelensky humiliation ritual.
1:06:39
And essentially you you kind of create a narrative to the
1:06:43
American people, the British Empire, we're taking on the
1:06:46
banks, the Europeans, the European banks, we're taking on
1:06:50
the deep state. So you deconstruct everything
1:06:53
that propped up the dollar. Now, remember, the deep state
1:06:56
gets its power from the Bank for International Settlements.
1:06:59
Who's the number one shareholder in the Bank for International
1:07:02
Settlements, The Federal Reserve.
1:07:04
Who's the Federal Reserve owned by the American banks that are
1:07:08
on the public markets, On the US public markets?
1:07:11
Who were they owned by? The asset managers, BlackRock,
1:07:14
State Street, Vanguard. Who's that owned by?
1:07:16
Yeah, of course there'll be, you know, legacy elite structures,
1:07:20
but it's not exactly owned by, you know, the City of London or
1:07:25
anything. Something like that is owned by
1:07:26
legacy elites that are losing more relative wealth because the
1:07:33
European empire, you know, fell, the American empire rose, and
1:07:37
now the Chinese empires rose. So now you've got capital, you
1:07:41
know, affiliated with Gulf countries, capital affiliated
1:07:45
with China. So these massive pools of
1:07:48
competing wealth are now negotiating with this financial
1:07:52
industrial complex. And what you do is you paint a
1:07:55
narrative. So your previous guest, I'd
1:07:58
never heard of him until he called me MI 6.
1:08:01
He's pushing out that narrative that we're taking on the
1:08:04
European bankers. Trump is taking on the deep
1:08:07
state and the cartoon, comic book geopolitical analysis that
1:08:11
you can get from Fox News and BBC based upon the media that is
1:08:17
pushed out by the deep state. And if you follow the money, you
1:08:20
realize that no, that that power is all encompassed in public
1:08:26
U.S. stocks and the deep state props up the dollar.
1:08:30
And if you take on the deep state, you're strategically
1:08:34
telling the world no more covert regime change, no more currency
1:08:38
wars, no more death destruction rate pillaging of your
1:08:42
countries, no more installation of dictators, no more National
1:08:46
Endowment of Democracy covert operations, no more protection
1:08:51
attending your funding aid by USAID when you're doing money
1:08:55
laundering operations to fund your drug cartels and all the
1:08:59
deep state operations that fund these different things.
1:09:02
You know, MI 6, Mossad, 5 eyes, CIA.
1:09:07
They're one network to continue the flow of drugs and they're
1:09:11
propped up by their shares in military industrial complex and
1:09:15
power shifts based upon wealth dynamics.
1:09:19
And so, you know, that's where The Who the Bank for
1:09:22
International Settlements are. And then finally, when you
1:09:27
weaken the dollar, you break the pegs, the Hong Kong dollar, the
1:09:32
Saudi currency, you get them to sell their treasuries.
1:09:36
And then also, you know, you push everyone, all the foreign
1:09:40
central banks, you tell them load up on gold, sell your
1:09:43
treasuries. And the only people that aren't
1:09:46
selling their treasuries are UK, Europe.
1:09:48
What does that tell you? UK and Europe are subordinate to
1:09:52
the same financial industrial complex that controls America.
1:09:57
You know, Canada, Australia, Europe, UK, Israel, these the
1:10:02
whole W, they're subordinate to the same financial industrial
1:10:06
complex and they're just shifting capital around.
1:10:09
And no, Trump's not taking on Trump represents a pure faction
1:10:14
of the technical industrial complex and financial industrial
1:10:16
complex. He isn't a neo con.
1:10:18
He doesn't represent what Biden, which was military industrial
1:10:22
complex power, you know, and he's more on the Black Rock
1:10:25
side. You will own nothing.
1:10:27
And that kind of integrates between technical and financial
1:10:31
and asset management. That's what Trump represents.
1:10:35
And so, you know, he that's what what, what he is here to do.
1:10:39
He's not taking on the Federal Reserve.
1:10:42
He's reshaping the Federal Reserve for BlackRock to make
1:10:46
sure that this surveillance state has all the CapEx it needs
1:10:51
to dump the debt on the American people and put it in pensions at
1:10:55
artificially low rates while the long term bondholders are saying
1:11:00
pay me more with higher rates. Interesting, interesting.
1:11:05
OK, that makes perfect sense to me.
1:11:08
I do have to play one last commercial break.
1:11:10
And I think this end of this conversation, Simon, I do want
1:11:15
to open it up to the audience. They've been asking a lot of
1:11:17
questions in the audience to clarify something.
1:11:20
So guys, if you have questions, drop them in the chat.
1:11:22
I, I do see Simon's chat as well, so I can answer both of
1:11:26
your guys's questions last commercial break and then we'll
1:11:29
wrap this up with like AQ and a before.
1:11:32
We go back, I forgot to even answer the question.
1:11:34
Gold, central banks, silver is an AI industrial play.
1:11:39
And so the silverside was take those paper contracts, Everybody
1:11:44
in the financial institutions that gets on the wrong side of
1:11:48
this will be bailed out by the feds.
1:11:49
And that's already happening. You move from QT to QE, they get
1:11:54
their bailouts. You socialize the losses,
1:11:55
privatize the gains and then China comes along, constricts
1:11:59
the supply and that resets all of these silver supply chains,
1:12:04
AI data centers eastwards, while America just becomes a data
1:12:09
centre and all of the all of the energy needed to power all of
1:12:14
this artificial intelligence. So the silver play is you had
1:12:19
Japan carry trade, euro, dollar, Petro dollar, silver, gold and
1:12:25
then managed decline of the dollar to box and move into this
1:12:29
BRICS and GCC and sovereign wealth fund transnational
1:12:34
capital. Let's go to the break.
1:12:38

1:14:34
So first question I have by Wade Davies.
1:14:38
He says why promote Bitcoin when precious metals are God's money?
1:14:45
So I love precious metals. I believe in gold, I believe in
1:14:50
silver. They are escape valves.
1:14:52
But the problem is, is that most people can't own it in custody.
1:14:56
And so they end up just owning an IOU paper version and giving
1:15:01
more power to BlackRock and the financial industrial complex.
1:15:04
Now, some people are able to hold a bunch of coins and
1:15:08
various other things, but when you're dealing, as your wealth
1:15:11
grows, it doesn't scale. And so I believe that people
1:15:15
need wealth that they can escape their country, they can go with
1:15:19
them wherever they wanted to go. They can self custody it and it
1:15:23
has the full flexibility of the tyrannical state, you know, that
1:15:27
many countries are pushing towards right now.
1:15:30
And so the answer is that, OK, great.
1:15:33
If you want to own gold in self custody, virtually everybody
1:15:38
owns a paper version of gold, which means you don't earn your
1:15:40
gold. And that's the one that will be,
1:15:43
you know, confiscated, used to leverage or whatever.
1:15:47
That's not God's money. Now if you do actually own gold
1:15:50
and you can hold it and you have a way of securing it and you
1:15:54
have a way of scaling it, the problem is you can't spend it.
1:15:57
And so Bitcoin is significantly easier to spend and self custody
1:16:03
and and then when you go on the border and you try and escape at
1:16:07
scale or spend internationally, you just end up giving more
1:16:11
power to the financial industrial complex.
1:16:13
So use gold for what it is, and if you can hold gold's God's
1:16:19
money, then hold God's money, more power to you.
1:16:23
But Bitcoin in self custody solves some of the problems that
1:16:26
you can't solve with gold. And so to me, if you're not
1:16:30
boycotting the system, you are empowering the system.
1:16:34
And virtually everybody empowers the fic by holding their gold
1:16:39
and then allowing them to leverage.
1:16:40
And you only own a paper contract.
1:16:42
And you're seeing right now when you actually try and get it,
1:16:46
most people, it's a clunky, horrible system for actually
1:16:52
trying to take delivery on God's money.
1:16:56
Awesome. OK, Simon, this next one, I
1:16:58
think you just answered this one, but I'll read it anyways.
1:17:00
If you want to add more to it, it goes.
1:17:02
What does the average person need to do to offset or leverage
1:17:04
the new financial industrial complex?
1:17:07
I I think you, I think you answered self custody Bitcoin,
1:17:10
but and if you want to add more to that, Simon, by all means.
1:17:13
Yeah, I'll do it if you want to. If you want to boycott the
1:17:16
Federal Reserve and the Bank for International Settlements, then
1:17:19
in Bitcoin, gold or silver, If you want to boycott BlackRock
1:17:23
and the the asset managers, then you have to not own it through
1:17:27
an ETF. You have to own it in self
1:17:29
custody. If you want to boycott the
1:17:31
banks, you don't borrow against your Bitcoin and don't use it as
1:17:34
collateral in custody. Even if you end up borrowing
1:17:39
some stable coins and dollars, you're still empowering the
1:17:42
system. Here's what I want to say.
1:17:44
Nothing's perfect. Look, you're never going to get
1:17:46
perfect. Every decision you make is
1:17:48
either worse or better. I still have to use an iPhone.
1:17:52
I know that I'm building my social credit score on X.
1:17:56
I know that I should be on nostril, and I'm using the
1:17:58
alternatives. But sometimes you have to be
1:18:00
more effective and still opt in to a certain degree.
1:18:04
But what I want everyone to commit to every single day is
1:18:07
owning more Bitcoin than you owned yesterday or owning more
1:18:10
Bitcoin this month than you did last month, and getting better
1:18:13
and more and more sovereign because that's the key.
1:18:16
So rather than investing in the S&P and funding wars, you can
1:18:21
invest in local businesses. You can use your Bitcoin to do
1:18:25
some good and build community and real value in the real
1:18:28
world. Rather than purchasing from
1:18:32
these global networks online, purchase from your local
1:18:36
farmers. And there's a side effect.
1:18:38
Try and figure out how to actually eat more locally grown
1:18:42
food that doesn't go through these horrific processes.
1:18:46
So think that this your vote doesn't matter that if unless
1:18:50
you're wealthy, unless you're rich, you have you can buy
1:18:52
politicians and you can engage in politics.
1:18:56
The real vote is your money. Boycott things that you don't
1:18:59
want, hold it in self custody and just commit to improving
1:19:04
your, your flows of money. And, you know, work in the local
1:19:07
communities and build like these circular economies.
1:19:12
That's how you do it. And, and depending on how
1:19:15
wealthy you are, how sovereign you are, there'll be degrees of
1:19:19
by which you can do that. Or some people are deep in debt
1:19:22
and they've got to try and figure out, do I pay off that
1:19:25
interest right now? Or do I put a little bit into
1:19:27
Bitcoin? What's the right ratio?
1:19:29
What am I going to do here? Just really have a plan and
1:19:33
think for 10 years, don't put together A1 year plan.
1:19:36
If you put together A1 year plan, you'll say what's the next
1:19:39
Bitcoin killer? What's the next shit coin I can
1:19:42
buy? I'm going to leave it on an
1:19:44
exchange so that I can trade faster.
1:19:46
All the wrong decisions. They are pushing you into
1:19:49
degeneracy on Poly markets. You know, gambling, you know,
1:19:55
you know, just everything they want you to do is probably the
1:19:59
opposite of what you should do. So just be very conscious.
1:20:02
Of your money and recognize there isn't perfection.
1:20:05
You're not going to get everything right.
1:20:07
I recognize the reality. Just get better.
1:20:12
You brought up if you're rich enough, you can buy politicians
1:20:16
and, and this is coming for me. What, what was your take away
1:20:20
from the last election when Bitcoiners really lobbied and,
1:20:24
and put a lot of money behind the Trump administration?
1:20:26
What, what, what was your your initial take of that and and
1:20:30
what is your in hindsight view of Bitcoin and politics
1:20:34
combining? Yeah, one of the reasons I love
1:20:37
the Trump administration is because it's allowing me to exit
1:20:40
my positions where I'm no longer ideologically aligned with the
1:20:43
company they're going on. They're all going public.
1:20:46
You know, so I had very early investments in Coinbase, in
1:20:49
Kraken, in Exodus, in Robin Hood, in Circle, and I think a
1:20:55
few more of them going public, but they're all going public
1:20:57
now. I think the next one's Kraken
1:21:01
and the reason is, is because look, once you are subordinate
1:21:06
to the financial industrial complex, you are no longer
1:21:08
independent, you work for them. And so you end up maximizing
1:21:12
your revenue for non ideological based mechanisms by fiduciary
1:21:17
duty in order to raise the next set of capital and support your
1:21:21
share price. And so, you know, there is a
1:21:25
very buoyant crypto lobby, but it's not that powerful.
1:21:29
So the the crypto lobby was built, you know, when Trump came
1:21:33
to Bitcoin 2024, I think it was. And, you know, we started to
1:21:39
have all the politicians kind of turn and, you know, slowly get
1:21:46
these crazy people into becoming nodes for the proof of weapons
1:21:50
network. And everyone started supporting
1:21:52
Wall Street and politicians and, and all the very influential
1:21:56
company that we're now at this stage from very small companies
1:22:00
that couldn't get VC funding that I was investing in to
1:22:03
multi, you know, billion dollar unicorns that are, you know,
1:22:08
working for their, their good venture capitalists to generate
1:22:12
returns. They created the crypto lobby
1:22:15
and the crypto lobby became important, but it's nowhere near
1:22:22
as powerful as the banking lobby scene.
1:22:24
We got to understand where we are right now.
1:22:26
And So what it actually did was it partnered with the asset
1:22:30
managers and the BlackRock and the asset manager faction of the
1:22:34
financial industrial complex. So when you see Brian Armstrong
1:22:38
pushing right now, remember who he really works for.
1:22:42
He really works under the asset managers and there was meetings
1:22:45
he had with Larry Fink because it's only when you partner with
1:22:49
Larry Fink and you actually take on the banks and the banks and
1:22:52
the asset managers are managing their portfolio and suddenly you
1:22:56
get language taken out around self custody.
1:22:59
Suddenly you get the banks being able to create their own yield
1:23:03
on their own stable coins. And suddenly, you know, so the
1:23:07
crypto lobby, I believe is fully Co opted into the financial
1:23:12
industrial complex. They're, they're throwing you a
1:23:17
few things and obviously they control significant chunks of
1:23:21
their little faction of power within the financial industrial
1:23:24
complex, but they're fully subordinate at this stage, you
1:23:27
know, and it's only under a corporate structure that you can
1:23:31
justify the money needed to buy all these prostitutes and
1:23:35
politicians to get what you want.
1:23:38
OK, I, I, I love that perspective.
1:23:42
OK, we have Steven Livingston, he asked what does America look
1:23:46
like with no dollar? I think maybe the question is
1:23:50
what does America look like with a weaker dollar 'cause you never
1:23:53
said no dollar. So I I think that would be the
1:23:55
the reframing of this question. What does America look like with
1:23:59
a weaker dollar? Yeah, I don't believe we hit
1:24:02
hyper bitcoinization and all Fiat currencies die.
1:24:05
Like I recently did a debate with Jeff Booth on that one.
1:24:09
I believe Fiat currencies, you know, power shifts and they
1:24:12
create a new Fiat currency power structure and which is what
1:24:15
we're witnessing right now, very few will escape.
1:24:19
And so you just get a new group of elites and a bunch of people
1:24:22
that hopefully come along. And that's why I still 15 years
1:24:26
later, I'm still advocating for people to own Bitcoin in self
1:24:30
custody. But America, I believe, will
1:24:33
always have a dollar, just like, you know, the the British Empire
1:24:38
still had the pound, but the pound just becomes a tool for
1:24:43
bad, bad growth, propping up the stock market and subordinating
1:24:47
wealth. So the stock market of US is the
1:24:50
most liquid in the world. It's a very useful tool.
1:24:53
So America, you, the people, become subordinate to the stock
1:24:57
market and the dollar gets weakened and weakened and
1:25:00
weakened slowly like it is right now, and it becomes a regional
1:25:05
currency because if you pegged your currency to the dollar, the
1:25:09
weakening means that you have to defend that peg and people won't
1:25:13
do that forever. And so it becomes more and more
1:25:16
regional. And one of the interesting
1:25:18
things that they did in Venezuela, they continued
1:25:22
selling. So the White House continued
1:25:24
selling the oil at a discount to China via Chevron because
1:25:29
they're still transnational capital.
1:25:31
China is an important node in the network.
1:25:34
Chevron still wants the revenue to prop up their share price.
1:25:37
Exxon came along and said we can't, We need the price of oil
1:25:40
to be $80.00. So they said we can't do
1:25:43
anything with it. They need $200 billion a
1:25:45
capital. So they're probably going to get
1:25:47
Gulf capital. Remember, the refiner in Texas
1:25:50
is fully owned a subsidiary. The one that can take advantage
1:25:53
of it is fully owned as a subsidiary of Saudi Aramco.
1:25:58
And so essentially the dollar becomes a tool for transnational
1:26:02
capital more and more and more. The military becomes a militia
1:26:06
rental for extraction of resources, and the technical
1:26:11
industrial complex becomes a brochure for the surveillance
1:26:15
and police state. And so you manufacture civil
1:26:18
unrest, which weakens the dollar a little bit further and it
1:26:23
creates the narrative needed in order to slowly remove the
1:26:27
constitution, usher in various parts of martial law.
1:26:31
Beta test on UK, use Palantir, use the border security as the
1:26:36
narrative for massive, massive surveillance.
1:26:40
Digital IDs in America, you'll always have a stable coin
1:26:44
because remember, America is optimized for corporate
1:26:47
interest, whereas Europe and all the others will get a central
1:26:50
bank digital currency and a digital euro because the, you
1:26:54
know, the power structure is the, these are like vassals.
1:26:59
And so they push the power up through government power up to
1:27:03
corporate power in America, and then it's asset stripped and
1:27:07
then through the American capital markets, it's invested
1:27:10
globally. And the people, it just gets
1:27:13
worse and worse and worse for the people unless they own the
1:27:17
assets and they figured out their exit strategy, less and
1:27:20
less people are able to do that. That turns into civil unrest.
1:27:24
Then you get the police state and the surveillance state.
1:27:27
So it just gets worse and worse unless you're in the elite and
1:27:31
your job is to make sure that you're managing that transition.
1:27:35
Now what they did in Venezuela is they immediately Co opted
1:27:39
Tether into freezing some of the oil sales that would be that
1:27:46
were being done in Tether. The Bitcoin in self custody that
1:27:50
there's rumored that kind of disappeared.
1:27:52
That probably went into a corrupt power structure because
1:27:55
probably Maduro agreed to what happened and was negotiating.
1:27:59
The stock market went up 300% and that was all elites and a
1:28:04
few banks. It's not like distributed across
1:28:07
the people. The oil still flowed to China
1:28:11
and they freeze. They froze the tether.
1:28:15
Now what does that mean? Think of what happened when the
1:28:19
European Central Bank and the Federal Reserve implemented
1:28:24
sanctions on the Central Bank of Russia.
1:28:27
Everyone went for de dollarization.
1:28:30
And So what I'm expecting to happen is that the Fed and the
1:28:34
the financial industrial complex will destroy many currencies in
1:28:39
Central and Latin America, dollarize it into tether, build
1:28:44
out the surveillance, straight state and control grids.
1:28:47
And all the other countries will say, I'm not using tether
1:28:51
because that's a weapon, just like the dollar was weaponized
1:28:55
against Russia. And so you signal to the world,
1:28:57
don't use tether in your country, but the Western
1:29:02
Hemisphere, they can dollarize and implement tether and stable
1:29:06
coins in order to build out these control grids across.
1:29:12
And you dollarize as much as you can, but you do it regionally
1:29:16
and detracting it from penetrating in, in countries.
1:29:20
And so expect more and more currency wars like Scott percent
1:29:24
already did one in Iran to destroy the savings of the
1:29:27
Iranian people. And obviously you had all the,
1:29:30
the Latin America ones. I, I expect more dollarization
1:29:34
regionally. And of course, the value will
1:29:37
just go down and down and down. And you need to protect
1:29:39
yourself, and they need to because they need to protect
1:29:44
themselves from some of this massive inflation, from running
1:29:47
the economy hot. There's only three ways to
1:29:49
combat inflation. You tax more, which is what
1:29:53
tariffs were attacks on American small business, because that
1:29:57
takes money out of the system. So it's deflate disinflationary,
1:30:02
or you get the price of oil down, or you create massive
1:30:05
productivity increase, which is AI and robotics.
1:30:08
So basically the entire Western Hemisphere as well as other
1:30:13
regions are being rebuilt to host data centers.
1:30:17
Artificial intelligence, robotics creates mass
1:30:21
unemployment and as that creates civil unrest, use technological
1:30:25
surveillance state. And then you push capital
1:30:28
outflows by weakening the dollar, but the dollar stays a
1:30:30
regional currency and it will be programmable.
1:30:35
And 1984 Orwellian surveillance state nightmare social credit
1:30:40
score when you would earn nothing and be happy.
1:30:44
OK. Trying to wrap my head around is
1:30:47
this kind of saying like we're entering kind of a bimetalism
1:30:52
future? Like where does Bitcoin fit here
1:30:55
as the neutral money for the world?
1:30:58
As if I mean, obviously there people are central banks are
1:31:02
going to hold gold, we're going to have some, you know, digital
1:31:05
Fiat monstrosity and Bitcoin. So maybe it's not a bimetalism
1:31:10
future, but I have a feeling that I think all three of these
1:31:14
are going to have a place in the future.
1:31:17
So what, what is your take? Is it a?
1:31:18
Is this like are you explaining kind of a bimetalism future?
1:31:23
Lots of Fiat currencies. Multipolarity currency wars and
1:31:29
currency wars drive people to the neutral assets.
1:31:32
At the moment the financial industrial complex wants more
1:31:35
Bitcoin, so it's trying to take as much Bitcoin from you by
1:31:39
falling you into leverage and treasuries and ETFs.
1:31:43
Once it's got sufficient amount of Bitcoin at the moment, it
1:31:46
will use its derivatives complex.
1:31:49
But we're partnered in this scheme and so there'll be
1:31:52
Bitcoin in self custody, sovereign freedom, there'll be
1:31:56
countries that have built their Bitcoin strategic reserves the
1:31:59
right way. You know, El Salvador, sadly, at
1:32:02
the moment the IMF is still in charge.
1:32:05
You got 2 choices in Latin and Central America.
1:32:08
You either become a surveillance technical industrial complex
1:32:11
node with the IMF or you've built enough Bitcoin in, in in
1:32:18
strategic reserves and you partner with the rest of the
1:32:21
world and you end up like Venezuela.
1:32:23
So El Salvador is playing that game.
1:32:26
IMF is still in charge, but they managed to build their Bitcoin
1:32:29
strategic reserves and hopefully they can build some sovereign
1:32:33
wealth. I'll continue to watch that.
1:32:34
But they didn't get their Bitcoin back bond because of
1:32:38
that. But essentially you have
1:32:41
sovereign people with Bitcoin in self custody, those that are in
1:32:47
the financial industrial complex, the rich get richer,
1:32:49
the poor get poorer, and you have countries that are actually
1:32:53
able to look after their people because they have sovereign
1:32:56
wealth rather than becoming a vassal.
1:32:59
And Bitcoins role in that is the boycott, the exit.
1:33:02
They'll try and short term oppress the the price of
1:33:05
Bitcoin. I believe to accumulate as much
1:33:08
as possible, buy into that because it is a scarcer asset
1:33:14
than gold, a scarcer asset than silver.
1:33:18
The stock to flow has made it, you know, the world's scarcest
1:33:21
digital asset. But you've got to be patient if
1:33:24
you're looking for a quick return.
1:33:27
You know, if you have a 10 year plan, own more Bitcoin every
1:33:30
month. Enjoy the ride.
1:33:32
Sadly it's not going to take on power because they've Co opted
1:33:36
it. But we're in partnership.
1:33:37
But you boycott by owning in self custody and we will never
1:33:41
get another Bitcoin. It's not coming again.
1:33:44
The set of circumstances that led to this open source code
1:33:48
with nodes that can resist against miners and resistance
1:33:53
against all the attempts of centralization and power
1:33:56
dynamics, there's never going to be another one of those.
1:34:00
And I think it makes it, and I still will continue to think
1:34:03
that Bitcoin is the best place to put your capital.
1:34:06
If you want sovereign freedom, boycott the system.
1:34:11
And I think everybody's going to be fine if they're long term, if
1:34:14
they're traders, borrow against it, leverage, you'll get wrecked
1:34:18
and you'll become a tool for power.
1:34:20
Well, Simon, getting close to the end, I, I with that last
1:34:25
message, I don't think anyone could really call you a doomer,
1:34:27
but I started the podcast with asking you the question of who
1:34:30
really runs the world. And I think this might be the
1:34:33
perfect question to put a bow tie on today's conversation.
1:34:36
We have blessed exiled you guys question who is the final boss?
1:34:40
Maybe I'll reframe this. Who is the final boss for
1:34:42
Bitcoin? When or.
1:34:44
I don't even know if you'd frame it this way, but when would or
1:34:47
what would be the signals in your mind to show you that
1:34:51
Bitcoin finally won? I don't think Bitcoin finally
1:34:59
wins. I think Bitcoin just becomes a
1:35:02
higher and higher market gap over time.
1:35:05
And as long as we can continue to have competing developers and
1:35:09
we resist against all attempts at centralization that the
1:35:13
miners are geographically diverse across countries so that
1:35:19
countries that hate each other start use use Bitcoin mining as
1:35:23
a tool and and people continue to run nodes and we don't have
1:35:31
an expensive node network and everybody or at least enough
1:35:36
people are able to own Bitcoin in self custody.
1:35:40
We've already won. We were never meant to get this
1:35:42
far when we were just a bunch of people in a conference in Prague
1:35:48
with about 100 autistic crazy. We we, you know, people that
1:35:55
just wanted to take on the banks.
1:35:56
We were never meant to succeed. Like the fact that we got here
1:36:00
is an absolute miracle. And Bitcoin is to be cherished.
1:36:05
And we just need to maintain a community of people that
1:36:08
continue to do what Bitcoin was designed for.
1:36:12
And we need to just bring on as many people as possible and just
1:36:17
recognize that there's, there's going to be people that own
1:36:19
Bitcoin in self custody and there's going to be everyone
1:36:23
else. So continue pushing out
1:36:25
education, try and bring as many people with us, teach long term
1:36:30
thinking, stay away from gambling and degeneracy.
1:36:35
And we've already won. But you know, the people that
1:36:40
are short term minded, they've lost.
1:36:42
If you're a long term thinker, you got a 1010 year plan.
1:36:47
Thank God for Bitcoin. It was, it was a miracle that we
1:36:49
got this far and that we've got this during this radically,
1:36:53
radically changing moment. The next five years will be 200
1:36:57
years of change. You won't recognize the world
1:37:00
and you're going to need community to get through this
1:37:02
because there's multiple psyops to make sure that you're not
1:37:06
protected. And I think Bitcoin's a
1:37:08
lifeboat. Well, Simon, thank you so much
1:37:12
for coming on. I truly enjoyed this.
1:37:14
I know I'm going to have to rewatch the the more dense
1:37:17
conversation at the beginning, but we really went full circle
1:37:21
here. It might have seemed dark and do
1:37:24
me in the middle, but towards the end, I think there was a
1:37:26
hopeful ending to today's conversation.
1:37:29
Simon, so thank you so much for coming on today's show.
1:37:32
It's been a, it's truly been a pleasure.
1:37:35
Yeah, I do. I do.
1:37:37
If you want to follow me on XI, do real time analysis as the
1:37:41
events happen. And I do the other thing that
1:37:44
I've got a discipline. I don't need to do it.
1:37:46
I just do it because I've managed to free myself from all
1:37:49
of these traps of the financial industrial complex.
1:37:53
Every week I follow the money in Bitcoin and tech.
1:37:56
I do an hour, then I do an hour on This Week in Macro and then I
1:37:59
do an hour on This week in geopolitics and I just actually
1:38:03
follow the money in each of those areas and I upload those
1:38:07
to my YouTube channel. So feel free to subscribe.
1:38:09
No sponsors, no adverts, no monetary gains, no pushing you
1:38:14
into a business, just trying to get as many people prepared for
1:38:18
what comes next. So those are my 2 best places.
1:38:22
Really appreciate Simon and and I highly suggest that our
1:38:25
audience here on Simply Bitcoin gives Simon Dixon a follow.
1:38:29
I've been following you for the last year and I I've really
1:38:34
appreciate all of the work that you've done, Simon.
1:38:36
So thank you once again for coming on the show and for what
1:38:39
you do. It's truly been a pleasure to
1:38:41
have this conversation with you. Thank you.
1:38:44
All right, guys, we'll be back tomorrow.
1:38:47
