<p>BTC Sessions Ep. 078: The Iran War Was Theatrical, FIC Wins &amp; Bitcoin Manipulation Exposed | Simon Dixon</p><p><br></p><p>The 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&#39;s pulling the strings, and why self-custody is the only rational response.</p><p><br></p><p>You&#39;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&#39;s new Bitcoin Premium Income ETF is a carrot designed to get you to hand over your keys. You&#39;ll also understand the connection between digital ID legislation in the UK and Canada, AI surveillance infrastructure, and the &quot;you will own nothing&quot; 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.</p><p><br></p><p>⏱️ Timestamps:</p><p>0:00 - Intro</p><p>1:14 - Simon Dixon Returns: Iran Deal and SpaceX IPO Timing</p><p>1:56 - China Wins: Financial Industrial Complex vs Transnational Capital</p><p>3:22 - Netanyahu as Middle Management in Power Hierarchy</p><p>3:58 - Multipolar Transition: Middle East as Financial Corridor</p><p>5:24 - Sovereign Wealth Funds and Informal Capital Alliance</p><p>6:41 - Manufacturing Strait of Hormuz Crisis for Wealth</p><p>7:38 - Markets Reveal Iran War as Theater via Oil Gold Bonds</p><p>9:25 - Liquidity Needs: Ping-Trump Meeting and SpaceX IPO</p><p>11:21 - Managed Transition and Bounded Escalation Explained</p><p>14:52 - Iran Deepens China Ties, Israel Pivots to GCC</p><p>16:24 - UAE Exits OPEC Breaking Petrodollar for New Security Model</p><p>19:46 - Israel Decapitates IRGC Hardliners for Regional Deal</p><p>25:16 - Multipolar World AI Dominance and Nuclear Energy Prize</p><p>30:48 - Funding Iran&#39;s Reconstruction and Revealing Contracts</p><p>39:51 - Middle Class Asset Strip Completed or More Ahead</p><p>42:38 - Bank of Japan 1% Hike Breaks Carry Trade</p><p>48:27 - Digital ID Laws and AI Surveillance Endgame</p><p>55:56 - BlackRock and Strategy Centralize Bitcoin Custody</p><p>1:01:51 - SBF Celsius and Covert Crypto Deleveraging Networks</p><p>1:08:16 - If Trump Serves Americans Nothing Makes Sense</p><p><br></p><p>• About Simon Dixon</p><p>X: @SimonDixonTwitt</p><p>YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@UC_wNYJCyycXXPmWni2JNZhQ </p><p><br></p><p>💡BOOK Private Sessions with Nathan, Benn and the BTC Mentor Team: Master self-custody, hardware, multisig, Lightning, privacy, and more.</p><p> 👉 Visit btcmentor.io </p><p><br></p><p>• Sovereign Sessions — AI, Privacy, and Bitcoin education: http://youtube.com/@SovereignSessions?sub_confirmation=1</p><p><br></p><p>📌 Previous Episodes: </p><p>Doomberg &amp; James Lavish → https://youtu.be/uCQStzvsnEU</p><p>Simon Dixon &amp; Dave Collum → https://youtu.be/cqQ5l2zZxrA</p><p><br></p><p>⚡ POWERED by Abundant Mines: Fully managed Bitcoin mining.
