  India, China & Iran Just Sent a Major Signal — BRICS Is Next | Simon Dixon Hard Talk LIVE - 4 September 2026 (Part One) 04.09.2026 1t 59min

  Hey hey sovereign wealth builders, We are witnessing history, and most people are completely missing the signal for the noise. In the markets, we are seeing a major structural stress test. While the S&P 500 pushes toward its all-time high of ~7,748 under fiscal dominance, the bond market is flashing serious warning signs. The US 10-year Treasury yield is hovering around ~4.76% and the 30-year is at ~5.24%.  In my view, this is driving 7% mortgages back into play and putting severe stress on bank collateral. Meanwhile, Japan’s 10-year yield has risen above 3% for the first time since 1996, signaling a massive decoupling of the Japan carry trade. The real relief valves are showing their strength. Gold is pushing above ~$4,500 as central banks continue to accumulate physical reserves. In a telling move, the Netherlands has quietly relocated 86 tonnes of its gold reserves ($12 billion) out of the US and over to London, with officials citing "increasing geopolitical unrest".  Bitcoin is also demonstrating its strength as hard money, posting its biggest weekly gain since March 2023 and surging 23% to ~$81,000 after wiping out billions in short positions. This comes as the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) falls to ~287 million barrels—four-decade lows not seen since 1982. In my view, we are watching the transition from a US-dominated dollar hegemony to a multi-node world order.  To unpack this transition, we are going live today for another episode of Simon Dixon Hard Talk LIVE. You Think You’re Watching a War. You’re Watching a New World Being Built | Simon Dixon Hard Talk LIVE PART ONE: India, China & Iran Just Sent a Major Signal — BRICS Is Next Part One of today's broadcast is our live show. It begins with a live macro update from me, followed by an in-depth pre-recorded interview, with me as the guest, on Wally Rashid’s YouTube channel. In this section, we break down the major geopolitical signals sent at the recent Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) meeting. India is increasingly cooperating with China, Russia, and Iran through both the SCO and BRICS, with Iranian President Pezeshkian invited to the BRICS summit in New Delhi next week (12–13 September). Meanwhile, at the G20, 19 countries backed freedom of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, but China blocked a unified consensus. Why does this matter now? In my view, this is the arrival of the multipolar—or what I call the "multi-node"—world order. Multipolarity does not mean India or the Gulf states are choosing China over America. Instead, they are refusing to choose. They are building regional security nodes connected by competing financial and technological rails. The old hegemonic node is fracturing, and regional powers are stepping up to secure their own corridors while the Financial Industrial Complex (FIC) and Technical Industrial Complex (TIC) jockey for dominance over payment and settlement rails.   Watch part one on youtube.  Watch Full Episode on YouTube.

PART TWO: Israel Is Being Privatized — And Netanyahu Is Being Left Behind Part Two of today's broadcast features a pre-recorded interview I did with Wally Rashid on his channel, recorded on 3 September 2026.  In this interview, we dive deep into the geo-financial reality of the Middle East, focusing on a major theme: the privatization of Israel. Israel’s economy is decoupling from its stock market, which remains at all-time highs due to military, tech, and banking stocks. However, the state is being laden with corporate debt, and state defense companies are preparing for public listings (IPOs) to sell off state assets. In my view, Netanyahu is acting as a puppet to power, serving the interests of major military contractors, global financial investors, and technology companies. At the highest levels of capital, ideology does not drive decision-making—rational self-interest and capital preservation do.  As the Military-Industrial Complex (MIC) begins to retreat from the Middle East to find other war zones, Israel is being transitioned from being funded by the Pentagon to being funded by private corporate debt. If power no longer needs Israel as a destabilizing node, the financial markets will force a regime change.  I encourage you to watch both parts of today's broadcast to see how these two pieces fit together. Weekly Macro Updates AI & Tech: Nvidia ($NVDA) reported record Q2 revenue of $96.2 billion and guided a massive $108 billion for Q3 alone, assuming zero compute revenue from China. Bonds: The US 10-year Treasury Note yield has surged +85 basis points since the Iran War began, pushing to ~4.80%. Gold: The Netherlands has relocated 86 tonnes of gold reserves ($12 billion) out of the US, with officials warning the gold is "no longer safe" in Trump's hands. Bitcoin: Bitcoin surged from below $64,000 to nearly $80,000 in three days, liquidating over $4 billion in short bets. Energy: US Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) inventories fell below 290 million barrels for the first time since 1982, down to 289.7 million barrels. Trade Wars: Canada has declared a trade "war" with the US after Trump raised tariffs on Canadian autos, parts, and steel to 50% for 2027. Stablecoins: Major global banks are advancing plans for a joint stablecoin, while the UK orders the Bank of England to accelerate digital money innovation].   Livestream Broadcast Schedule This episode was broadcasted on 4 September 2026 at 8:30pm BST.  Please note that Part One is the live show. Part Two is the pre-recorded interview done by Wally Rashid with me as the guest. Both segments are crucial to understanding the transition of the world order, and I highly encourage you to watch both. Measure your wealth in Bitcoin, stay sovereign, and I will see you on the livestream.   Peace.   Simon Dixon   Watch full episode on YouTube.

  “They’re Building a Control Grid to Control You” | Simon Dixon 27.08.2026 1t 25min

  In my 4th appearance on The Peter McCormack Show (recorded 27 August 2026; duration: 1 hour 27 mins), titled “They’re Building a Control Grid to Control You,” Peter McCormack and I sit down for an in-depth analysis of global monetary friction and the emerging financial control grid. In this episode, Peter and I discuss the $40 trillion US national debt milestone, the mechanics behind Treasury debt rollovers, and how central banks, in my opinion, socialise bond market losses onto ordinary citizens through inflation while privatising capital gains into stock markets. We also examine the corporate debt boom driving the AI data centre build-out, real-term wealth erosion in the housing market, and how technocratic structures are positioning programmable money and CBDCs as crisis bailouts within the expanding FIC, MIC, and TIC framework. In my view, as artificial intelligence accelerates labor market disruption, the ultimate choice ahead is whether you prepare to become an asset owner or remain trapped as a debt holder. Allegedly, defending your individual freedom against an Orwellian surveillance grid requires building digital resistance—running independent nodes, maintaining Bitcoin self-custody, and mastering key management to protect your cryptographic identity and wealth.

  Bond Yields Blow Out — Bitcoin & Gold Break Higher | Simon Dixon Hard Talk LIVE (Part One) 21.08.2026 2t 12min

  Hey hey sovereign wealth builders, Something fundamental changed this week. For long-term listeners, this is not a surprise—we have been expecting these developments for years. But the signals we received this week are now loud, clear, and impossible to ignore. The bond market is screaming across the collective West, and in my view, we are witnessing America systematically sacrifice the world reserve status of the dollar in real time. We have reached a point of convergence where macroeconomics, geopolitics, and technology are colliding. Today's High-Signal Macro Briefing: The Debt Limit: The US national debt officially passed the $40 trillion mark as long-term sovereign yields blow out globally. The Intervention: Why the US Treasury’s emergency mid-quarter long-duration bond buyback failed to calm the market for more than 24 hours. The Decoupling: Bitcoin and gold surging higher as legacy equities correct, triggering one of the largest short squeezes in Bitcoin history. Protocol Security: The resolution of the BIP-110 consensus battle on the main chain, and how to prepare for the September 1st hard fork. Institutional Absorption: Wall Street giants quietly scaling up native Bitcoin custody and ETF allocations while the public is distracted. Geopolitical Energy Risks: Brent crude pushing back past $90 amidst reports of preemptive economic warfare targeting Hormuz bypass infrastructure. The Capital Clash: How the massive AI data center build-out is actively competing with highly indebted sovereign nations for global liquidity. PART ONE: Bond Yields Blow Out — Bitcoin & Gold Break Higher Part One is our live broadcast, lasting 2 hours and 12 minutes. We will begin with a comprehensive live macro update where I explain why these bond yield blowouts represent the ultimate return of the "bond vigilantes."  For years, I have warned about "fiscal dominance"—where the Treasury's borrowing needs override monetary policy—and today, we are seeing the direct consequences as traditional foreign buyers back away. In my view, the sudden decoupling of gold and Bitcoin from correcting equities is a powerful signal that capital is actively rotating. During this live segment, I will walk you through the mechanics of the Treasury's buyback program, explain why the Federal Reserve will eventually be forced to intervene, and share practical steps on how to secure your portfolio as protocol forks and macro volatility accelerate.    Measure your wealth in Bitcoin, stay sovereign, and I will see you on the livestream.   Peace.

PART TWO: Why the Dollar’s World Reserve Status Is Being Sacrificed | Simon Dixon on WTFinance w/ Anthony Fatseas Immediately following the live show, we are broadcasting my recent 44-minute interview with Anthony Fatseas on WTFinance, recorded on 13 August 2026. This discussion took place just one week before this week's global bond market blowout, demonstrating our long-term thesis playing out in real time. In this segment, we go deep into how the decline of the US world reserve system historically mirrors the structural collapses of the Dutch and British empires. I believe the Strait of Hormuz will be to the American Empire what the Suez Canal was to the British Empire—a defining point of geopolitical reset. We will also expose the reality of the digital control grid, explore the "real war" of centralization versus decentralization, and discuss the launch of my new book, The Game of Money.   Measure your wealth in Bitcoin, stay sovereign, and I will see you on the livestream.   Peace.

  PART TWO: Exiting the Battle for Bitcoin Is Not an Option | Simon Dixon x BTC Sessions Following Part One, we transition into a 33-minute update from me, followed by a 45-minute pre-recorded interview with Nathan from BTC Sessions. In this part, we perform a vital postmortem on the recent Bitcoin civil war and the failed BIP-110 soft fork, which mined only two blocks and fell more than 700 blocks behind the legacy chain after 99.85% of Bitcoin's hashpower stayed with the legacy chain. I will walk you through the key lessons of policy versus consensus, and why I believe exiting this battle is simply not an option if we want to defend our digital citadel. I’ll also share how I’ll handle the hard fork and what you need to know. Why you should watch: Wall Street and centralised entities are actively trying to capture Bitcoin through custody and financialization. We will address the recent security attacks on self-custody—including the $100M+ Cold Card entropy exploit, Trezor’s shipping provider data breach, and Tether's historic audit—to show you how we must respond to protect our sovereignty.

  Everyone's Sleepwalking Through the Biggest Event of Our Lives | Simon Dixon & Doomberg 14.08.2026 2t 20min

  Hey hey sovereign wealth builders, This is a single, continuous broadcast that connects the physical macro battlegrounds of our global transition with the technological wars of the Bitcoin network. In today's livestream, you can expect a breakdown of the quiet de-dollarisation and sovereign debt doom loop, followed by two critical deep-dive interviews I recently recorded with Doomberg and Nathan from BTC Sessions. In my view, we are entering a phase of fiscal dominance where traditional sovereign debt is buckling under interest expenses, while our digital citadel is facing unprecedented centralisation pressure from both Wall Street and security exploits. Today's show is divided into two highly connected segments, each featuring an in-depth update from me followed by a pre-recorded interview. I highly recommend watching both parts in sequence to understand how these macro and micro forces converge. PART ONE: Everyone's Sleepwalking Through the Biggest Event of Our Lives | Simon Dixon & Doomberg This first segment begins with a 30-minute macro and geopolitical live update from me, followed by a 1-hour and 50-minute pre-recorded discussion with Doomberg, hosted by BTC Sessions. In this debate, we examine the reality of the "forever wars," why the US is transitioning into a regional power, and how China's growing energy independence is eroding US maritime leverage. We also clash on the real power of BlackRock, market efficiency, and why global savers are quietly abandoning US debt for gold. Why you should watch: In my view, the mainstream media acts as a mouthpiece for the financial industrial complex, keeping you distracted. This segment exposes the structural shifts in the global reserve system that most are sleepwalking right through. Make sure to watch Part Two: Exiting the Battle for Bitcoin Is Not an Option | Simon Dixon x BTC Sessions Following Part One, we transition into a 33-minute update from me, followed by a 45-minute pre-recorded interview with Nathan from BTC Sessions.

  Why the Dollar’s World Reserve Status Is Being Sacrificed | Simon Dixon on WTFinance 13.08.2026 42min

  Host: Anthony Fatseas (WTFinance Podcast) Guest: Simon Dixon (Investor, Financial & Geopolitical Analyst, Author, Entrepreneur, and Bitcoin OG) A Note From Simon Dixon "Immediately following the live show, we are broadcasting my recent 44-minute interview with Anthony Fatseas on WTFinance, recorded on 13 August 2026. This discussion took place just one week before this week's global bond market blowout, demonstrating our long-term thesis playing out in real time. In this segment, we go deep into how the decline of the US world reserve system historically mirrors the structural collapses of the Dutch and British empires. I believe the Strait of Hormuz will be to the American Empire what the Suez Canal was to the British Empire—a defining point of geopolitical reset. We will also expose the reality of the digital control grid, explore the 'real war' of centralization versus decentralization, and discuss the launch of my new book, The Game of Money." Episode Description In this second highly-anticipated interview on the WTFinance podcast, host Anthony Fatseas sits down with Simon Dixon—Investor, Financial & Geopolitical Analyst, Author, Entrepreneur, and Bitcoin OG—for an in-depth conversation on the accelerating cracks in the global financial system. Following wild yield breakouts in the bond market, Simon explains how central banks are choosing to "run the economy hot" and strategically sacrifice the US dollar's status as the global reserve currency to inflate assets and roll over unsustainable sovereign debt. From shifting power dynamics in the Middle East and China's role as the central broker in West Asia, to the rise of programmable money, CBDCs, and an AI-driven "control grid," this episode maps out the sobering realities of the multipolar reset. Most importantly, Simon shares his personal playbook for maintaining individual sovereignty, building local resilience, and escaping centralization through physical gold, self-custodied Bitcoin, and localized food and community networks. Key Topics Covered   The Bond Market Distress & Central Bank Policy   Why bond yields are structurally exceeding previous stress-test levels, and the frantic interventions designed to prevent foreign central banks from selling US treasuries [2]. The "K-shaped" economic strategy: Running the economy hot, rolling over massive debt, and dumping it on citizens while asset holders benefit from asset/equity inflation (e.g., the AI stock market bid).   The Multipolar Reset & The Post-Dollar Middle East   How the US is transitioning into a regional power while China emerges as the lynchpin broker negotiating normalization between historic rivals like Saudi Arabia and Iran. Trade route security and why the Strait of Hormuz is becoming the modern-day equivalent of the Suez Canal moment for the American Empire. Geopolitical narratives (Ukraine-Russia, Middle East, Taiwan tensions) as wealth extraction mechanisms for transnational capital and the military-industrial complex rather than triggers for World War III.   The AI Control Grid, Programmability, and UBI   The rise of the police-and-surveillance state to manage growing civil unrest caused by extreme wealth polarization. How digital currency (CBDCs and private stablecoins) will make money programmable, integrating social credit parameters under the guise of security and convenience.   Sovereignty vs. Centralization: The Individual Playbook   Why the real battle is not left vs. right, but centralization vs. decentralization. Practical steps to reclaim personal sovereignty: storing physical gold, self-custody of Bitcoin, running local LLMs, and investing in local food supply chains and community relationships. Overcoming mental submission by lengthening your time horizon to build out of debt and acquire real assets.   Quotes from Simon Dixon "The strategy is sacrifice the dollar as world reserve currency, or you allow for a depression which breaks everything." "The real battle is between centralization and decentralization. That's the battle." ["They want you to believe there is no hope... you need to increase your time frame because that's how you escape."    Resources Mentioned Simon’s Open-Source Book Project: The Game of Money: From Subordinate to Sovereign Connect with Simon: Website: simondixon.com X (Twitter): https://x.com/SimonDixonTwitt  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SimonDixon21  WTFinance Podcast: Hosted by Anthony Fatseas   Watch on YouTube

  Japan, Bitcoin & the New Currency War | What Changed This Week? | SDHT LIVE (Part One) 07.08.2026 1t 16min

  Hey hey sovereign wealth builders, In my view, we are entering the next stage of an internal Bitcoin "civil war" between corporate centralising forces and sovereign node operators. As of today, miner signaling for BIP 110 sits at just 2.6%, but tomorrow we must reach a 55% threshold to ensure an uninterrupted, peaceful activation path. If we remain below this threshold, the miners will have rejected the rules of the nodes, and we could enter a contentious split scenario where exchanges pause trading, transaction confirmations are delayed, and Lightning Network channels face disruption. Alongside this protocol battle, we are tracking the major hardware wallet exploit unique to Cold Card. If you hold funds on a Cold Card wallet, you need to move your funds immediately to a secure environment, as the wallet drains are actively continuing.  In my view, the timing of this exploit—just days before this critical node-signaling weekend—is highly suspicious and may be a coordinated campaign designed to discourage self-custody and drive users back into Wall Street's institutional custody vaults. This critical protocol struggle is happening against the backdrop of a massive macro transition where traditional financial plumbing is buckling under its own debt. The 10-year US Treasury has pushed deeper into the danger zone at 4.67%, while the 30-year bond has reached 5.24%.  In my view, we are entering a phase of fiscal dominance where the cost of refinancing sovereign debt is ballooning out of control, squeezing citizens while stock markets are propped up near all-time highs by managed liquidity flows. We are watching a highly coordinated, managed transition of the global monetary order. In today’s livestream, we will break down exactly how these macro developments intersect with your personal financial sovereignty. PART ONE: Japan, Bitcoin & the New Currency War | What Changed This Week? This week, the Bank of Japan’s move toward increasing interest rates sent shockwaves through the global financial architecture, putting severe stress on the historic Japan carry trade. For decades, cheap yen has provided critical liquidity to prop up Western equity markets. In what I believe is a highly unusual maneuver to protect the US Treasury market, authorities reportedly intervened by selling Euros to buy Yen—avoiding direct dollar weakness while putting selling pressure on European bondholders. At the same time, the petrodollar continues its quiet unwind, marked by Saudi Arabia’s new 43-country maritime defense coalition and Iran’s draft proposals to settle oil in Yuan or Bitcoin. Meanwhile, Bitcoin's custody battle is intensifying. Following the Cold Card exploit, I believe there is an active, coordinated push by the Financial Industrial Complex (FIC) to discourage self-custody and drive users into Wall Street’s institutional vaults. We see the largest corporate Bitcoin holders speaking out against BIP 110, asking node operators to stand down. They want you to put your Bitcoin in a public company so they can issue you a security, and then BlackRock wants to tokenize it so you will "own nothing and be happy". In today’s livestream, we will break down the game theory behind tomorrow’s BIP 110 threshold, what a potential chain split means for your assets, and why running your own node remains our ultimate tool of resistance against corporate capture.

  The Week Bitcoin & Global Markets Collide | Simon Dixon Hard Talk LIVE 07.08.2026 2t 22min

  Hey hey sovereign wealth builders, In my view, we are entering the next stage of an internal Bitcoin "civil war" between corporate centralising forces and sovereign node operators. As of today, miner signaling for BIP 110 sits at just 2.6%, but tomorrow we must reach a 55% threshold to ensure an uninterrupted, peaceful activation path. If we remain below this threshold, the miners will have rejected the rules of the nodes, and we could enter a contentious split scenario where exchanges pause trading, transaction confirmations are delayed, and Lightning Network channels face disruption. Alongside this protocol battle, we are tracking the major hardware wallet exploit unique to Cold Card. If you hold funds on a Cold Card wallet, you need to move your funds immediately to a secure environment, as the wallet drains are actively continuing.  In my view, the timing of this exploit—just days before this critical node-signaling weekend—is highly suspicious and may be a coordinated campaign designed to discourage self-custody and drive users back into Wall Street's institutional custody vaults. This critical protocol struggle is happening against the backdrop of a massive macro transition where traditional financial plumbing is buckling under its own debt. The 10-year US Treasury has pushed deeper into the danger zone at 4.67%, while the 30-year bond has reached 5.24%.  In my view, we are entering a phase of fiscal dominance where the cost of refinancing sovereign debt is ballooning out of control, squeezing citizens while stock markets are propped up near all-time highs by managed liquidity flows. We are watching a highly coordinated, managed transition of the global monetary order. In today’s livestream, we will break down exactly how these macro developments intersect with your personal financial sovereignty. PART ONE: Japan, Bitcoin & the New Currency War | What Changed This Week?   This week, the Bank of Japan’s move toward increasing interest rates sent shockwaves through the global financial architecture, putting severe stress on the historic Japan carry trade. For decades, cheap yen has provided critical liquidity to prop up Western equity markets. In what I believe is a highly unusual maneuver to protect the US Treasury market, authorities reportedly intervened by selling Euros to buy Yen—avoiding direct dollar weakness while putting selling pressure on European bondholders. At the same time, the petrodollar continues its quiet unwind, marked by Saudi Arabia’s new 43-country maritime defense coalition and Iran’s draft proposals to settle oil in Yuan or Bitcoin. Meanwhile, Bitcoin's custody battle is intensifying. Following the Cold Card exploit, I believe there is an active, coordinated push by the Financial Industrial Complex (FIC) to discourage self-custody and drive users into Wall Street’s institutional vaults. We see the largest corporate Bitcoin holders speaking out against BIP 110, asking node operators to stand down. They want you to put your Bitcoin in a public company so they can issue you a security, and then BlackRock wants to tokenize it so you will "own nothing and be happy". In today’s livestream, we will break down the game theory behind tomorrow’s BIP 110 threshold, what a potential chain split means for your assets, and why running your own node remains our ultimate tool of resistance against corporate capture. [CLICK HERE TO WATCH PART ONE ON YOUTUBE] PART TWO: From the American Empire to the Technocratic Control Grid | Simon Dixon x Daniel Estulin Immediately following the live broadcast of Part One, we are transitioning to a deeply strategic pre-recorded interview with Daniel Estulin. In this discussion, we move completely beyond the daily political drama and examine the raw, underlying structures of global power. In my view, modern democracies have largely become a facade, with selected politicians operating as "paid-for-rent prostitutes" for financial, technical, big pharma, and military power—creating a narrative to make you think they work for the people. We will explore how the post-World War II European model is being systematically restructured rather than simply failing, hollowing out sovereign wealth to feed the US stock market. We also delve into the Tech Industrial Complex's push to build a global technocratic control grid—using AI, digital IDs, and central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) to manage the population while capital is concentrated at the very top. Important: This interview is a separate premiere scheduled on my YouTube channel. Once the live broadcast of Part One concludes, the stream will not automatically transition. You must click the link below to jump over to the premiere and join us for Part Two. [CLICK HERE TO WATCH THE INTERVIEW ON YOUTUBE]   Weekly Updates: US 10-Year Treasury: 4.67% (well above the 4.5% danger zone). US 30-Year Treasury: 5.24% (driving mortgage and refinancing distress). US Dollar Index (DXY): Weakening below the 100 mark to 99.77. Crude Oil: WTI at $74-$75, Brent at $77-$78, reflecting escalating Middle East tensions. Gold: Steady at $4,375, heavily accumulated by central banks as the primary reserve asset. Bitcoin: Highly resilient at $64,400 despite ongoing custody exploits and protocol battles. S&P 500: Pushed to near all-time highs of 7,710, fueled by fiscal dominance and AI concentration.   Part One is the live broadcast, and Part Two is the Daniel Estulin interview premiere immediately following. I highly encourage you to watch both back-to-back to get the full macro-to-micro picture of how this transition is being managed.

  Genocide-as-a-Service (GAAS): The Business Model Nobody Wants To Talk About 06.08.2026 2t 36min

  Hey hey sovereign wealth builders, Simon Dixon here. I am premiering a deeply personal and intensive interview I recently did for The Enlightenment Podcast, hosted by Shamim Sarif and Hanan Kattan, author of Palestine Revealed. In this interview, I open up about my 26-year journey—from my father’s loss of his life savings in the dot-com crash, to my battle to build a non-fractional bank outside the Bank of England cartel and how the Palestinian laboratory is the technology being tested to use back home in the West. We go deep for over 2 hours, covering the hidden structures of our world and how we can reclaim our sovereignty. Core Theme & Topics Discussed: The Global Web of Debt & Power: In my view, the world is ruled not by a single country, but by a systemic web of incentives controlled by three interlocking complexes—the Financial Industrial Complex (FIC), Military Industrial Complex (MIC), and Technical Industrial Complex (TIC)—which privatise profits and socialise losses, turning war, debt, and inflation into a massive wealth transfer mechanism. Palestine as a Tech Laboratory: My analysis of how military and surveillance technologies are beta-tested under occupation before allegedly being imported to the West to build a global control grid. The Multipolar Shift: Why I believe the Western empire is in an asset-stripping phase, and how the rising power of China and Gulf sovereign wealth funds will reshape the global order and the eventual rebuild of Palestine. A Strategy for Resistance: Why I believe voting won't save us, and why our real power lies in "choking the system" through how we spend, save, and invest, alongside digital resistance using decentralized tech, Bitcoin, and open-source AI. Let’s guard our minds and build our freedom together. To your financial freedom,   Simon Dixon

  AI Unwinds, Bitcoin Decides & the Middle East Realigns | Simon Dixon Hard Talk LIVE (Part One) 31.07.2026 1t 7min

  Hey hey sovereign wealth builders, This week delivered a convergence of many structural shifts, alongside some urgent breaking news in the Bitcoin self-custody space. The Fed held rates while delivering a hawkish tone, which sent Treasury yields surging and triggered a severe AI stock sell-off, liquidating an over-leveraged $25 billion AI infrastructure hedge fund.  Meanwhile, Bitcoin decoupled from the AI equities correction, and geopolitically, the Middle East continues its strategic realignment as the U.S. footprint adjusts. I believe we are witnessing the shift from the forever war model toward a financially driven regional framework. All of this demands a closer look, and we will unpack exactly what it means for your sovereign wealth plan in today's livestream. The AI Sell-Off, Bitcoin Wallet Hacks & Global Realignment | Simon Dixon Hard Talk LIVE PART ONE: AI Unwinds, Bitcoin Decides & the Middle East Realigns In the live show, I will be breaking down the mechanics behind this week's AI market correction. In the aftermath of the leveraged hedge fund liquidation, institutional players like Citadel stepped in to scoop up distressed assets, including shares of the newly public Celsius spin-off, Ionic Digital. I believe we must ask whether this is simply a short-term leverage unwind, a market-making operation, or a fundamental accumulation of AI infrastructure by the Financial Industrial Complex. In the geopolitical arena, we are tracking the ongoing realignment in the Middle East following Netanyahu's White House visit. In my view, we are witnessing the dismantling of proxy militant groups to pave the way for a new regional security framework, driven by Gulf capital and Chinese energy security. I will explain why the maritime chokepoints of Hormuz and Bab al-Mandab are the key indicators to watch as the Financial Industrial Complex (FIC) negotiates with the Military Industrial Complex (MIC). https://youtube.com/live/s1Hwh2dqec8

A specific seed generation entropy flaw has compromised certain Coldcard wallets. I want to be entirely clear: Bitcoin did not get hacked; this is a specific hardware implementation issue. I will explain exactly what happened, who is affected, and the concrete steps you must take to review your self-custody setup calmly and safely—including updating firmware, understanding key generation, and considering multi-signature setups.  We will also cover the approaching BIP110 signaling deadline around August 7th and what to watch for and what happens if miners reach the 55% threshold.   PART TWO: Politicians Are “Paid-for-Rent Prostitutes”: The True Mechanics of Power | Simon Dixon on The James Delingpole Channel with James Delingpole Immediately following Part One, we will be premiering a pre-recorded interview I did with media veteran James Delingpole on 7 July 2026. Please note: This interview is scheduled to premiere as a separate video on my YouTube channel. You will need to click the link provided in the newsletter, the live chat, or on the image of Part Two to jump over to the interview once the livestream ends. During this conversation, I detail my framework for understanding the Financial Industrial Complex (FIC), the Military Industrial Complex (MIC), and the rising Technical Industrial Complex (TIC). We explore the mechanisms of how politicians are groomed, compromised, and ultimately serve as "paid-for-rent prostitutes" for these transnational power structures. We also discuss the historical evolution of central banking, the true agenda behind the programmable surveillance state, and why building wealth outside the system is the only viable way to protect yourself and step off the spectrum of subordination. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xqp5VKhzgrY

  Where I Stand on BIP-110: The Battle for Bitcoin Nobody Wants to Name 24.07.2026 41min

  This is Part One of Simon Dixon Hard Talk LIVE (25 July 2026)   Hey hey sovereign wealth builders,   It has been an incredibly fast-moving week across the Bitcoin landscape. While I am currently deep in book-writing mode for my upcoming book. I’m working on chapters regarding the historical infiltration attempts around sovereign assets, the global chess board continues to shift rapidly. In my view, we are witnessing a coordinated effort by the financial industrial complex (the FIC) to institutionalize and capture the Bitcoin ecosystem.  From sudden institutional delays to high-profile executive shakeups and corporate consortia forming under the guise of security, the traditional financial architecture is aggressively positioning itself. This is not a time for panic, but a time for high-signal, sovereign analysis.   Today’s Simon Dixon Hard Talk LIVE episode and the interview premiere immediately following it, are designed to give you the perspective needed to navigate this transition.   PART ONE: Where I Stand on BIP-110: The Battle for Bitcoin Nobody Wants to Name We are currently in the middle of what I believe is Bitcoin's next major consensus debate, fueled by the ongoing technical and philosophical "spam war". Much like the block size wars of 2017, this debate is driving deep tribalism and division within the developer and mining communities.   In this live segment, I will explain exactly where I stand on BIP-110 and why I am actively supporting it on my own node. In my view, we are seeing a manufactured "strategy of tension"—reminiscent of historical intelligence frameworks like Operation Gladio—designed to divide the community and drive users away from self-custody and into corporate wrappers.   I will break down the game theory, the technical escalation ladder, and my specific stop-point on that ladder. This is a critical discussion on why holding your own keys and running your own node remains Bitcoin's absolute ultimate defense against institutional capture.   Read the blog: BIP-110, the Spam War, and the Battle Nobody Wants to Name: Where I Stand https://www.simondixon.com/blog/bip-110-the-spam-war-and-the-battle-nobody-wants-to-name-where-i-stand-simon-dixon Watch the full episode: The Battle for Bitcoin | Simon Dixon Hard Talk LIVE https://youtube.com/live/bqeTRFshxLo Watch Part Two (FULL INTERVIEW): The New World Order Wants To Steal Your Bitcoin | Simon Dixon on New Era Finance Podcast https://youtu.be/MUeSSh6ActE     Join the Simon Dixon Hard Talk Membership Portal — FREE The Simon Dixon Hard Talk Membership Portal is the permanent home for everything Simon Dixon.

We dive deep into how Wall Street utilizes structured derivatives, ETFs, and leverage to manipulate the short-term price of Bitcoin, aiming to strip individuals of their hard assets. We discuss the upcoming Clarity Act, explaining how it acts as a regulatory moat for major banks to issue covert central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) and control the flow of programmable money. Finally, we map out the global shifts, including how China is driving open-source AI and how parallel currency networks like Mbridge are being positioned to bypass SWIFT. I outline a practical, multi-jurisdictional sovereign strategy for individuals looking to transition from complete subordination to true financial autonomy.   Read the blog (FULL EPISODE): BIP-110, the Spam War, and the Battle Nobody Wants to Name: Where I Stand Watch on youtube (FULL EPISODE)   Join the Simon Dixon Hard Talk Membership Portal — FREE The Simon Dixon Hard Talk Membership Portal is the permanent home for everything Simon Dixon.

  Nothing Has Changed | Simon Dixon Hard Talk LIVE 17.07.2026 2t 32min

  Hey hey sovereign wealth builders, Tonight on Simon Dixon Hard Talk LIVE, I'll share a brief update on what I believe is really happening beneath the latest Iran headlines, why I continue to follow the money rather than the narrative, and how my book is progressing as I work towards completing all 21 chapters. I'll also be premiering my second interview with Dr. Chris Martenson (PhD) on Peak Prosperity. In this two-hour discussion, we explore whether governments are still truly in control, the transition towards a multipolar world, the roles of the FIC, MIC and TIC, and why building sovereignty and local resilience has never been more important. Measure your wealth in Bitcoin, stay sovereign, and I'll see you on the livestream. Peace, Simon Dixon

  The Answer Took Me 26 Years | Simon Dixon Hard Talk LIVE 10.07.2026 39min

  In this shorter, update-focused episode of Simon Dixon Hard Talk LIVE, I share why I have gone into a full writing lockdown to finalise my upcoming book. It has been approximately 26 years since my father lost his pension during the dot-com bust, a defining event that initiated my career-long analysis of monetary systems.  In my opinion, traditional political systems in the West do not offer solutions, as political representatives allegedly act primarily on behalf of corporate lobbies rather than the public. I believe that transnational financial networks are attempting to transition the global economy into a highly controlled digital system using central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), artificial intelligence, and social credit mechanisms. Because I am prioritising the completion of my book chapters, this broadcast is a brief update rather than a full live analysis. Towards the end of this episode, we have compiled a selection of trailer clips from my recent appearances on external podcasts.  These highlights have been pieced together to encourage viewers to catch up on the full discussions and their corresponding blogs, which cover our follow-the-money framework in greater depth. In my view, the most practical approach to navigating these systemic shifts is to focus on personal financial sovereignty—which, in my opinion, is best achieved by practising self-custody of your assets, running a network node, and supporting decentralised community infrastructures. ------ ------ ----- ------ ------ ----- ------ ------ ----- ------ ------ ----- ------ ------ ----- ------ ------ ----- ------ ------ -----    The links to the shows / full interviews: They're Deliberately Winding Down America — Here's the Plan for What Comes Next | Simon Dixon on Impact Theory w/ Tom Bilyeu https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4RawKdA_gM&t=10s  🔗 Read the blog: https://www.simondixon.com/blog/winding-down-america-simon-dixon-tom-bilyeu  Who Really Runs the World? | Simon Dixon on The Peter McCormack Show https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZL3U1etEW4&t=2s 🔗 Read the blog: https://www.simondixon.com/blog/who-really-runs-the-world-peter-mccormack-simon-dixon  Why the Financial System Is Rigged | Simon Dixon on What Bitcoin Did w/ Danny Knowles https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQq9JlTuj6s&t=42s 🔗 Read the blog: https://www.simondixon.com/blog/i-lived-through-operation-chokepoint-2-0-simon-dixon  “This Is the Asset-Stripping Phase” | Simon Dixon on GoldRepublic Global w/ Alexej Jordanov https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XgmY7YTn6mI&t=125s  🔗 Read the blog: https://www.simondixon.com/blog/asset-stripping-phase-simon-dixon  The Iran War Was Lost on Purpose to Create This | Simon Dixon on BTC Sessions w/ Nathan Fitzsimmons https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aza4GAjQffw&t=1858s  🔗 Read the blog: https://www.simondixon.com/blog/simon-dixon-iran-war-lost-on-purpose  It's Already Live.

  The Government Isn't Out of Control, It's NOT in Control | Simon Dixon on Peak Prosperity w/ Dr. Chris Martenson 09.07.2026 2t 7min

  Who actually rules the world if traditional governments are no longer in control? I joined Dr Chris Martenson (PhD) on Peak Prosperity for an in-depth, 2-hour and 7-minute discussion, "The Government Isn't Out of Control, It's NOT in Control", recorded on 9 July 2026. In my opinion, we are currently navigating a highly coordinated, managed transition of global empire away from Western dominance and towards a multipolar world order. Here is what we cover in this interview: The Privatisation of the State: Why traditional governments are no longer truly in charge, having been asset-stripped and effectively turned into private corporate entities servicing transnational capital. Geopolitical Theater and "Bounded Escalations": How active global conflicts represent, in my opinion, highly managed escalations designed to provide leverage for private corporate interests, renegotiate maritime trade routes, and secure lucrative contracts. The Consolidation of Power (FIC TIC and MIC): How global control is shifting into the hands of three private networks—the Financial Industrial Complex (FIC), the Military Industrial Complex (MIC), and the Technical Industrial Complex (TIC). The Technocratic Control Grid: The mechanics of the transition toward programmable money, Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), and sophisticated algorithms designed to shape public narrative and weaponise speech. Reclaiming Autonomy: The critical importance of stepping back from the algorithmic noise, touching grass, and building local resilience through parallel community supply chains. Why you should watch this interview: This discussion is designed to strip back the daily geopolitical headlines and offer a clear, realist macro framework for understanding the structural changes taking place under the hood of the global economy. Rather than leaving you with a sense of despair, we explore how to step back from the weaponised narrative, reclaim your critical thinking, and focus on what is actually within your control. By understanding this macro transition, you can begin to make long-term plans to protect your agency, foster family and spiritual resilience, and build stronger local community connections.
