BTC Sessions Ep. 078: The Iran War Was Theatrical, FIC Wins & Bitcoin Manipulation Exposed | Simon DixonThe Iran ceasefire was timed to the SpaceX IPO. The petrodollar is being deliberately broken. And your Bitcoin is being systematically moved into institutional custody — whether you realize it or not. Simon Dixon returns to lay out exactly how the managed transition to a multipolar world works, who's pulling the strings, and why self-custody is the only rational response.You'll learn why Simon argues China — not the US — won the financial and geopolitical contest, how the closure of the Strait of Hormuz was a manufactured pricing event to concentrate wealth upward, and why BlackRock's new Bitcoin Premium Income ETF is a carrot designed to get you to hand over your keys. You'll also understand the connection between digital ID legislation in the UK and Canada, AI surveillance infrastructure, and the "you will own nothing" endgame Simon has been tracking for years. Specific signals covered include the 30-year yield, the Japan carry trade break, the Bank of Japan rate hike to 1%, and the bond market dynamics that set the timeline for the entire war.⏱️ Timestamps:0:00 - Intro1:14 - Simon Dixon Returns: Iran Deal and SpaceX IPO Timing1:56 - China Wins: Financial Industrial Complex vs Transnational Capital3:22 - Netanyahu as Middle Management in Power Hierarchy3:58 - Multipolar Transition: Middle East as Financial Corridor5:24 - Sovereign Wealth Funds and Informal Capital Alliance6:41 - Manufacturing Strait of Hormuz Crisis for Wealth7:38 - Markets Reveal Iran War as Theater via Oil Gold Bonds9:25 - Liquidity Needs: Ping-Trump Meeting and SpaceX IPO11:21 - Managed Transition and Bounded Escalation Explained14:52 - Iran Deepens China Ties, Israel Pivots to GCC16:24 - UAE Exits OPEC Breaking Petrodollar for New Security Model19:46 - Israel Decapitates IRGC Hardliners for Regional Deal25:16 - Multipolar World AI Dominance and Nuclear Energy Prize30:48 - Funding Iran's Reconstruction and Revealing Contracts39:51 - Middle Class Asset Strip Completed or More Ahead42:38 - Bank of Japan 1% Hike Breaks Carry Trade48:27 - Digital ID Laws and AI Surveillance Endgame55:56 - BlackRock and Strategy Centralize Bitcoin Custody1:01:51 - SBF Celsius and Covert Crypto Deleveraging Networks1:08:16 - If Trump Serves Americans Nothing Makes Sense• About Simon DixonX: @SimonDixonTwittYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@UC_wNYJCyycXXPmWni2JNZhQ 💡BOOK Private Sessions with Nathan, Benn and the BTC Mentor Team: Master self-custody, hardware, multisig, Lightning, privacy, and more. 👉 Visit btcmentor.io • Sovereign Sessions — AI, Privacy, and Bitcoin education: http://youtube.com/@SovereignSessions?sub_confirmation=1📌 Previous Episodes: Doomberg & James Lavish → https://youtu.be/uCQStzvsnEUSimon Dixon & Dave Collum → https://youtu.be/cqQ5l2zZxrA⚡ POWERED by Abundant Mines: Fully managed Bitcoin mining.

Mentor Sessions Ep. 077: US Iran Failure, Bitcoin Bear Market Over & Yield Curve Control | Doomberg & James LavishThe Iran ceasefire just reshuffled global energy, dollar dominance, and Bitcoin's role as sound money — James Doomberg breaks down what it actually means for your portfolio in 2026.In this episode, Nathan sits down with James Doomberg — one of the sharpest macro and energy analysts in the space — to unpack the cascade of events reshaping markets right now. You'll learn why the Iran ceasefire is a bigger geopolitical pivot than most investors realize, how the SpaceX IPO may function as a financial suppression tool for retail capital, and why Doomberg believes energy markets are sending misleading signals driven by Chinese demand dynamics and a global overbuild. You'll also see exactly why Bitcoin and gold are rising in tandem — and why Doomberg argues monetary debasement makes that trend structural, not cyclical. Finally, you'll understand what yield curve control would mean for bond holders and why the K-shaped economy is deepening in ways that make sound money more critical than ever.• Sovereign Sessions — AI, Privacy, and Bitcoin education: http://youtube.com/@SovereignSessions?sub_confirmation=1⏱️ Timestamps:00:00 Bitcoin Bear Market is Over00:10 The Iran War Outcome00:26 China Flexes Oil Power00:35 K-Shaped Economy & Credit Card Defaults00:43 Yield Curve Control & Money Printing00:52 SpaceX as Financial Suppression01:09 Intro & Context06:25 US Achieved None of Its Objectives in Iran07:34 Gold & Bitcoin Bullish After Iran08:17 Bear Market in Bitcoin is Over09:40 A Profound & Historic Outcome10:20 US Dollar Dominance is Cracking11:10 Freezing Russian Assets Was a Catastrophic Mistake14:28 Bitcoin Bear Market is Over (Revisited)15:38 All Roads Lead to Yield Curve Control17:45 Multipolar World & Weaker Dollar19:29 Massive Money Printing is Coming24:26 Gold & Bitcoin Will Rip Higher26:32 SpaceX Ponzi as Financial Suppression32:07 The Lottery Effect & Tax Receipts37:20 K-Shaped Economy is Getting Worse46:27 Cantillon Effect Explained50:14 Oil is Going Way Lower54:39 What to Watch Next (Fed, Japan, Ukraine)🔗 Links & Resources:→ Doomberg Substack: https://doomberg.substack.com→ https://x.com/DoombergT→ James Lavish Newsletter (The Informationist): https://jameslavish.substack.com→ https://x.com/jameslavish📌 Previous Episodes: Tom Luongo & Nolan Bauerle → https://youtu.be/XGPaWFavFqk⚡ POWERED by Abundant Mines: Fully managed Bitcoin mining.

Mentor Sessions Ep. 076: The Giant Surveillance Map Canada Wants to Build on Every Citizen, Encryption Backdoors Coming to Bill C-22, and What Bitcoiners Must Know | Dr. Michael GeistCanada's Bill C-22 would force companies to retain your metadata for up to 12 months, potentially mandate encryption backdoors, and could push Signal out of Canada entirely — and it affects Five Eyes allies including Americans.In this episode, legal scholar and digital rights expert Professor Michael Geist breaks down exactly what's in Bill C-22 (Canada's lawful access legislation), why mandatory metadata retention is far more invasive than the government admits, and how the bill contradicts Canada's own stated commitment to privacy rights. You'll learn why Signal has said it cannot operate under these requirements, how Five Eyes intelligence sharing means American data could be swept into this net, and what ordinary Canadians can actually do before Parliament reconvenes in September 2026. You'll also see how Canada's "AI for All" strategy is in direct tension with its surveillance ambitions — and why Professor Geist says you can't create a fundamental right to privacy in the morning and mandate metadata collection in the afternoon.⏱️ Timestamps:0:00 - Intro1:03 - Professor Michael Geist on Bill C-221:57 - Lawful Access and the Surveillance Debate3:22 - Bill C-22 Metadata Retention and Encryption6:17 - Why Metadata Reveals More Than Content8:01 - Police Use Case for Mass Metadata9:24 - Evidence Justifying New Surveillance Powers11:19 - Bill C-22 Supreme Court Challenge Risk12:47 - Five Eyes Data Sharing Concerns14:27 - Global Surveillance Laws in Australia and UK18:12 - Signal Threatens to Exit Canada19:54 - Economic Risks to Canadian Tech Sector20:53 - Privacy Rights Versus Metadata Mandates22:36 - How Canadians Can Push Back on Bill C-2226:47 - Canada's AI for All Strategy Explained31:16 - Digital Sovereignty and Foreign Data Centers37:16 - Gaps in the AI Strategy39:25 - Social Media Age Verification Rules43:39 - Final Thoughts From Professor Geist🔗 Links & Resources:• Professor Michael Geist's website: https://www.michaelgeist.ca• Michael Geist on Substack: https://michaelgeist.substack.com• Michael Geist on X/Twitter: https://x.com/mgeist• Sovereign Sessions — AI, Privacy, and Bitcoin education: http://youtube.com/@SovereignSessions?sub_confirmation=1📌 Previous Episodes: Tom Luongo & Nolan Bauerle → https://youtu.be/XGPaWFavFqk⚡ POWERED by Abundant Mines: Fully managed Bitcoin mining.

Mentor Sessions Ep. 075: The Brutal Truth About Bitcoin in the NEW Dollar System, The Death of the Uniparty, and How Trump Is Rewiring Global Trade | Tom Luongo & Nolan BauerleBitcoin will be a collateral asset in the new dollar system — not the immediate replacement for it. Tom Luongo and Nolan Bauerle map out exactly why that order of operations matters, who is fighting it, and what the Iran conflict, Fannie/Freddie, and the Alaska-Russia trade corridor all have to do with Bitcoin's ultimate role.In this conversation you'll learn why Tom Luongo argues Wall Street already has the Bitcoin bug and the energy industry is next — and why that sequence, not retail adoption, is what actually shifts monetary reality. You'll see how Nolan Bauerle connects Bitcoin's "don't trust, verify" ethos directly to election integrity and why Bitcoiners broke so decisively for Trump in 2026. You'll understand the bimetallic framework Tom has been building for two years: America, Russia, China (ARC) as the geostrategic reality, with Bitcoin and gold as the collateral layer underneath a redesigned dollar system. And you'll hear both guests explain why the City of London's 40-year control of the eurodollar market — and its grip on Fannie, Freddie, and long-end yield curves — is the hidden architecture of the war being fought right now.⏱️ Timestamps:0:00 - Intro1:32 - Tom's 30,000 Foot View on Iran3:34 - Rewiring Trade Away from Choke Points5:20 - Iran's Collapse and IRGC Private Equity7:15 - Trump Wins Civil War Inside GOP9:31 - MAGA Civil War Narrative is Fake10:29 - Bitcoin Inside Dollar Framework12:07 - Dollar Dominance with Bitcoin Collateral19:03 - Bimetallism Stablecoins and Sound Money22:12 - Wall Street Bitcoin and Energy Next30:52 - Dollar Liquidity Crisis and SOFR44:22 - Why Bitcoiners Voted for Trump47:15 - Election Integrity and Prediction Markets53:12 - Privacy Property Rights vs CBDC59:49 - Government Audits and Transparency Shift1:05:29 - Fannie Freddie 2008 Theft and London1:13:48 - Summer Dollar Crisis and Trump Moves1:18:20 - Alaska Russia Bridge and ARC Trade1:21:49 - Why Satoshi Used Japanese Pseudonym🔗 Links & Resources:Tom Luongo — Gold Goats & Guns Newsletter: https://patreon.com/goldgoatsngunsTom Luongo on X: https://x.com/TFL1728Nolan Bauerle on X: https://x.com/countbtcNolan Bauerle on Rumble: https://rumble.com/user/Countbtc• Sovereign Sessions — AI, Privacy, and Bitcoin education: http://youtube.com/@SovereignSessions?sub_confirmation=1📌 Previous Episodes: Jeff Booth & Samson Mow → https://youtu.be/VzTXm18d3oA⚡ POWERED by Abundant Mines: Fully managed Bitcoin mining.

073: Why AI Mania Is a Trillion-Dollar Trap, Why Freedom Is Eroding Into Real-Time Dystopia, and How Bitcoin Mining Absorbs the Entire Oversupply | Samson Mow & Jeff BoothThe fiat debt system is mathematically insolvent — and Jeff Booth and Samson Mow lay out exactly why the pain is coming whether you own Bitcoin or not. This is one of the most direct conversations on financial sovereignty, AI capital misallocation, and the closing window for individual freedom you'll find anywhere in 2026.You'll learn why Jeff believes the 4-year Bitcoin cycle theory has been broken and what's actually driving sideways price action right now. You'll see how Samson connects AI infrastructure over-investment to a dot-com-style collapse — and why Bitcoin mining is positioned to absorb the fallout. You'll understand the specific tools — Fedimint, Aqua Wallet, self-custody, running a node — that let you exit the system before governments restrict freedom of movement. And you'll hear both guests explain why AI will eviscerate DeFi protocols like Ethereum and Solana, draining funds and pushing survivors back to Bitcoin.⏱️ Timestamps:0:00 - Intro1:09 - Introducing Jeff Booth and Samson Mow2:00 - Bitcoin Four-Year Cycle Theory Is Broken3:17 - AI Driving Capital Rotation From Bitcoin4:49 - AI Mania Dwarfs the Dot-Com Bubble7:47 - Local AI Inference and Oversupply Risks11:40 - Stablecoins Trap Users in Fiat14:34 - Are Cypherpunks Disappearing From Bitcoin?16:22 - Barriers to Nation-State Bitcoin Adoption22:20 - Fiat Debt System Is an Illusion31:17 - Governments Will Restrict Freedom of Movement33:51 - We Are Already Living in the Matrix41:47 - Bitcoin ETFs: Evolution or Centralized Capture?47:54 - Practical Steps to Reclaim Sovereignty51:44 - Fedimint and Essential Bitcoin Privacy Tools54:24 - AI Accelerating Altcoin Death Spiral57:50 - Liquid, Lightning and Aqua Wallet Explained🔗 Links & Resources:• Jan3: https://jan3.com• Samon X: https://x.com/Excellion• Jeff Booth's website: https://jeffreybooth.com/• Jeff NOSTR: [email protected]• Sovereign Sessions — AI, Privacy, and Bitcoin education: http://youtube.com/@SovereignSessions?sub_confirmation=1📌 Previous Episodes: Simon Dixon and Dave Collum → https://youtu.be/cqQ5l2zZxrA⚡ POWERED by Abundant Mines: Fully managed Bitcoin mining.
