• Bond, Stock & Commodity Collapse At Once? | Dixon & Collum Explain 29.05.2026 1ч 54мин

  Hey hey sovereign wealth builders.  I recently joined Nathan Fitzsimmons on BTC Sessions, alongside Dave Collum, to unpack the structural shifts we are currently seeing across the global financial system.  In this episode, we break down the macroeconomic factors driving current geopolitical events and market behaviors, exploring what I believe is a managed transition into a multipolar world.  We examine how the recent surge in major AI and tech IPO valuations appears to be absorbing massive liquidity injections, while the bond market simultaneously shows significant signs of stress with rising yields.  Alongside Dave Collum, we discuss how these market dynamics and shifting global trade corridors highlight the growing vulnerabilities in our traditional debt-based banking system. We also explore what this global financial restructuring means for investors, entrepreneurs, and savers.  In my opinion, the traditional financial infrastructure increasingly functions as a centralized mechanism that transfers wealth upwards, particularly through passive ETF flows and the heavy consolidation of capital among major asset managers. Because of this, I believe that achieving true financial sovereignty requires stepping outside of the legacy financial architecture.  We wrap up the conversation by exploring why holding Bitcoin in self-custody and building peer-to-peer circular economies remain vital strategies for protecting your wealth and opting out of a system reliant on constant debt expansion.   Watch FULL INTERVIEW on YouTube Watch Full LIVE show of Simon Dixon Hard Talk LIVE | 29 May 2026 LEGAL DISCLAIMER The following is a legal disclaimer regarding the BTC Sessions interview featuring host Nathan Fitzsimmons and guests Simon Dixon and Dave Collum.

• The AI Bubble, DeepSeek & The New Global Order 29.05.2026 1ч 11мин

  Is the entire global order being reorganized to support the largest AI investment bubble in history? In Part One of this episode of SimonDixonHardTalk LIVE, broadcast on 29 May 2026, we discuss the potential connections between Middle Eastern geopolitics, the Iran peace MOU, and the liquidity needs of the AI sector. I believe that the global financial, military, and technical industrial sectors may be shifting away from the 'forever war' model to potentially decrease global energy prices, finance AI data center infrastructure, and possibly develop a multipolar world. We analyze the US-China discussions at the recent Beijing meeting.  In my opinion, it appears that transnational capital could be working with the CCP in what some might view as the development of a global surveillance network. I believe that under this potential architecture, the United States may be experiencing a reduction in global influence through factors like asset stripping, fiscal dominance, and wealth concentration. We also revisit the DeepSeek event, which some believe challenged the compute-scarcity assumption that is currently supporting the semiconductor and AI stock market. As Wall Street and the Federal Reserve discuss the liquidity needed for megacap IPOs like SpaceX, I believe they may also be trying to influence the Bitcoin market through institutional custody, ETFs, and leverage instruments. In my opinion, this convergence of AI, space infrastructure, and programmable fiat suggests that a sovereign wealth strategy is important.  I believe that holding Bitcoin in self-custody and utilizing alternatives to the traditional financial system may be a strong defense against centralized global control.

• Did The Iran War Just Save The AI Bubble? | Simon Dixon Hard Talk LIVE 29.05.2026 3ч 6мин

  Did The Iran War Just Save The AI Bubble? | Simon Dixon Hard Talk LIVE Are we witnessing the birth of a new technological super cycle, or a liquidity-fueled bubble designed to mask the transition to a new global order? Welcome to a full 3-hour and 6-minute broadcast of Simon Dixon HardTalk LIVE from 29 May 2026. In Part One, "The AI Bubble, DeepSeek & The New Global Order," we discuss the potential connection between the Iran peace MOU and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, and their potential to drive down energy costs and inject liquidity into AI and SpaceX IPOs. I break down my belief that the Financial Industrial Complex (FIC) and China may be working to build a global AI control system, even as the DeepSeek breakthrough may threaten the compute scarcity narrative supporting the semiconductor industry. In my opinion, the financial system appears to be reorientating around a multipolar world. I believe this reorientation could involve a shift of assets away from the West to fund a large infrastructure buildout, potentially leading to a diminished role for the US as a global power. In Part Two, "Bond, Stock & Commodity Market Analysis | Dixon & Collum Explain," I am joined by Dave Collum to analyze the potential for changes in the fiat system, which we believe is significantly influenced by Fed money printing and ETF passive flows. We explore the possibility of simultaneous structural shifts in the bond, equity, and commodity markets that, in my opinion, could be driven by China's selling of US Treasuries and the physical movement of gold toward Shanghai. As transnational capital seeks to implement programmable Central Bank Digital Currencies and as Wall Street attempts to centralize Bitcoin into institutional custody, we discuss exiting the system as a personal defense strategy. We discussed protecting purchasing power by holding assets like Bitcoin in true self-custody, and we discuss how to position yourself during this significant financial transition.   DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY AND INFORMATIONAL USE The content provided in this broadcast is intended solely for informational, educational, and sovereign wealth-building purposes, and does strictly not constitute financial, investment, or trading advice.

• The SpaceX IPO Could Make or Break the Entire Stock Market | Sulaiman Ahmed interviews Simon Dixon 28.05.2026 41мин

  In this interview, Simon Dixon joins host Sulaiman Ahmed on Moral Resistance to discuss his views on global financial restructuring and the upcoming SpaceX IPO.  While retail investors may view SpaceX primarily as a space exploration venture, Simon Dixon believes its projected $26 trillion addressable market is actually focused heavily on AI and Earth-bound data centers.  Ahmed expresses surprise at this claim during their discussion. According to Dixon, this extensive AI infrastructure build-out is a mechanism intended to boost US GDP and stock markets while the global bond market faces significant pressures. In Simon Dixon's opinion, as the US and Europe deal with inflation, energy constraints, and rising interest rates, macroeconomic power is steadily shifting Eastward.  Dixon observes that central banks in nations like China and India are purchasing gold, which he believes is a protective measure against fiat currency weakness. Furthermore, Simon Dixon believes the Federal Reserve's current position in the debt markets could lead to a situation where a national security narrative is used to justify large-scale financial interventions. For investors, savers, entrepreneurs, and Bitcoin holders, Simon Dixon believes that understanding this macroeconomic transition is critical. In his opinion, the current stock market's strength is heavily reliant on passive ETF pension flows and an overarching AI narrative rather than underlying economic health.  Dixon suggests that if this data center market experiences a downturn, the resulting wealth transfer could accelerate a broader technocratic shift, a theme Ahmed probes throughout the episode.  In Simon Dixon's opinion, the long-term systemic trajectory involves average citizens being priced out of hard assets, potentially leading to a system of universal high income (UHI) governed by programmable Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) and social credit mechanisms.  Dixon also shares his belief that developments such as Iran utilizing nuclear energy for Bitcoin mining, the integration of global data networks, and privatized prison models represent a structural move toward centralized control. Ultimately, Simon Dixon believes that preparing one's portfolio for these structural financial changes is a vital step for the future. Disclaimer: The financial, macroeconomic, and geopolitical views expressed in this interview are strictly the personal opinions and analyses of the guest, Simon Dixon, and the host, Sulaiman Ahmed. The discussions regarding the impending SpaceX IPO, the sustainability of the AI data center build-out, the US Treasury and bond markets, and potential stock market crashes are intended for educational and conversational purposes only and do not constitute financial, investment, or legal advice. This episode contains highly speculative and forward-looking statements based on Simon Dixon's personal interpretations of macroeconomic trends and corporate financial filings, such as SpaceX's projected $26 trillion addressable market. Furthermore, the conversation explores theoretical scenarios regarding a global "technocratic takeover," including the implementation of programmable Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), universal high income (UHI), AI-driven social credit systems, and the potential dismantling of constitutional rights. At times, the guest explicitly frames his analysis through a speculative lens, noting how events might be interpreted "if you were to be a conspiracy theorist".

• Politicians Aren't Governing — They're Actors. Here's Who Actually Runs the World | Simon Dixon on Impact Theory w/ Tom Bilyeu 28.05.2026 2ч 19мин

  In Simon Dixon's own opinion and analysis, the financial system isn't broken — it's working exactly as designed.  Former investment banker Simon Dixon spent years inside the machine before walking away entirely. In this 2-hour and 19-minute episode of Impact Theory, as host Tom Bilyeu actively tries to mentally map the mechanics of global control, Simon explains exactly what he found: Simon Dixon believes wars aren't started for ideology, they're started for revenue. Simon Dixon believes politicians don't govern, they audition. In Simon Dixon's own opinion and analysis, one company controls more capital than most countries. Simon breaks down what he believes are the three power structures that sit above governments—the Financial, Military, and Technological Industrial Complexes—and details why Simon Dixon believes central banking is fundamentally a structural Ponzi scheme that requires infinite debt and engineered geopolitical conflicts to survive. He reveals how BlackRock's AI system, Aladdin, controls $25 trillion in capital allocation, and in Simon Dixon's own opinion and analysis, this is effectively dictating global market flows to manage the slow destruction of fiat currency and the transition into a new multipolar financial order. This macro-analysis is essential for investors, savers, and entrepreneurs because Simon Dixon believes the global economy is currently structured to extract wealth, funneling inflation into hard asset accumulation for certain individuals while the middle class is financially affected. During the interview, Simon traces the history of what he considers an engineered wealth transfer, separating the geopolitical theater from the actual monetary flows, and details his hypothesis on who he believes really created Bitcoin — and why that person is now dead. Most importantly, Simon provides his analysis for navigating the predicted shift from the Western empire to the new BRICS-aligned global architecture. Plus, Simon Dixon suggests one action: exit the debt-based control grids entirely by holding unleveraged, self-custodied Bitcoin. In Simon Dixon's own opinion and analysis, by recognizing the difference between stablecoins and true financial sovereignty, you can utilize wealth and jurisdictional arbitrage to protect your capital from the predicted era of centralized surveillance.

• Why They’re Rushing To Build 5,000 AI Data Centers | Putin, Xi & The AI Bubble (Simon Dixon on CapitalCosm) 22.05.2026 49мин

  Why They’re Rushing To Build 5,000 AI Data Centers | Putin, Xi & The AI Bubble (Simon Dixon on CapitalCosm) I believe we are witnessing the largest wealth transfer in modern history, disguised as a structurally overvalued tech boom and geopolitical chaos. In this 50-minute episode of CapitalCosm recorded on May 19, host Danny sits down with Simon Dixon to discuss what he believes is a managed transition currently restructuring the global financial system.  Moving beyond what Dixon refers to as the political theater of the recent US, China, and Russia summits, Simon Dixon explains what he believes is the reason behind the rush to build 5,000 AI data centers: the creation of an energy-intensive domestic surveillance grid. Dixon asserts that, in his opinion, the petrodollar is fracturing—evidenced by the UAE securing FX swap lines and the pursuit of BRICS tokenized energy agreements—and that he believes US Treasury yields are spiking to intervention levels.  He believes that this instability in the debt markets is, in his opinion, engineered and is setting the stage for a large Federal Reserve money-printing event, which he believes is designed to bail out a concentrated tech monopoly while deliberately stripping the purchasing power of fiat currency. Dixon suggests this macroeconomic shift has implications for the future of money, making this discussion relevant for investors, savers, entrepreneurs, and Bitcoin holders who, in his opinion, must navigate these ongoing currency wars. Dixon also believes that while Western central banks may be relying on inflating debt markets to manage this transition, parallel financial infrastructures are coming online to replace the existing banking system. He highlights his belief that gold is migrating East to back a Chinese-led financial architecture, and he points out that nations like Iran are beta-testing censorship-resistant systems by utilizing nuclear-powered Bitcoin mining and multi-signature wallets to bypass SWIFT and Western sanctions. In his opinion, the greatest threat we face is not kinetic global warfare, but internal domestic control, manufactured crises, and a radical centralization of wealth by the financial and technical industrial complexes.  He believes that understanding these intersecting geopolitical dynamics, energy bottlenecks, and the rise of decentralized alternatives is crucial for protecting assets as the global economy is restructured.
• India’s Gold Crisis, Bitcoin Insurance, and the Hormuz Reset 22.05.2026 1ч 27мин

  Note: This video is Part One of the full "The Great Liquidity Reset | Simon Dixon Hard Talk LIVE" show broadcasted on 22 May 2026. The complete live broadcast consisted of two parts, with Part Two featuring an interview I did with Danny of the CapitalCosm podcast (title: Why They’re Rushing To Build 5,000 AI Data Centers | Putin, Xi & The AI Bubble ) Part One: India’s Gold Crisis, Bitcoin Insurance, Hormuz & The Multipolar Energy Reset I believe we are watching significant liquidity shifts unfold as the K-shaped economy accelerates and financial systems may be contributing to a wealth transfer.  In Part One of this broadcast, we break down the effects on global markets following the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, which I believe is acting as a mechanism for a multipolar energy and liquidity reset. With US CPI printing at 3.8%, PPI hitting 6%, and the 30-year US Treasury yield consistently holding above 5%, the bond market is, in my opinion, signaling systemic stress.  By tracking the shifting monetary flows from the UAE to Hong Kong and Shanghai, we map out how commodity and currency competition may be altering global shipping routes, forcing the renegotiation of massive energy contracts, and, I believe, draining physical gold from Western vaults into Eastern markets. We also look closely at India, which I believe is shaping up to be significantly impacted by this geopolitical transition. I analyze the paradox of the Indian government pleading with its citizens to stop buying gold to support the rupee's value, while I believe the Reserve Bank of India simultaneously dumps US Treasuries to print fiat and hoard gold for itself. As I believe the fiat system is challenged and nations shift away from legacy financial rails—highlighted by what I believe is the rollout of a parallel, multi-signature Bitcoin insurance system in Iran designed to circumvent Western institutions like SWIFT and Lloyd's of London—this suggests a need to consider alternatives.  Ultimately, I break down why, in my opinion, protecting yourself against challenges in the fiat system may require considering alternatives to the current system, measuring your wealth in Bitcoin, and holding it strictly in self-custody.   Sanctions Disclaimer: The content of this document/video is provided for informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice.

• The Great Liquidity Reset | Simon Dixon Hard Talk LIVE 22.05.2026 2ч 17мин

  The Great Liquidity Reset | Simon Dixon Hard Talk LIVE Today I’ll be breaking down the accelerating global liquidity crisis, the geopolitical shifts reshaping markets, and what I believe is the next phase of the financial reset unfolding across energy, AI, gold, Bitcoin, and global capital flows. In this livestream, I’ll cover: • Why I believe rate cuts are no longer realistic • India’s growing gold crisis and the pressure on the rupee • Why governments are discouraging gold ownership while central banks accumulate it • The closure of the Strait of Hormuz and its impact on global liquidity • The rise of a multipolar energy system between China, Russia, the Middle East & beyond • The rollout of parallel Bitcoin insurance and financial systems outside SWIFT • The AI data center boom and the capital flows driving today’s tech markets • Putin, Xi, Trump and the changing global power structure • OpenAI, SpaceX and the liquidity expansion behind the AI narrative • Energy consumption, infrastructure wars & the future redistribution of wealth Part 1: India’s Gold Crisis, Bitcoin Insurance, Hormuz & The Multipolar Energy Reset Part 2: Why They’re Rushing To Build 5,000 AI Data Centers | Putin, Xi & The AI Bubble I’ll also be sharing my latest thoughts on where wealth is moving globally, how sovereign capital is repositioning, and why Bitcoin continues to sit at the center of this transition.

• How Iran is Using Bitcoin to Bypass SWIFT & Lloyd's of London | Simon Dixon 19.05.2026 40мин

  The weaponization of the global financial system has just crossed a new threshold, and the rules of the game are fundamentally changing.  In this 40-minute interview recorded on 19 May 2022 for the Moral Resistance channel, I sit down with host Sulaiman Ahmed to break down a massive geopolitical pivot: Iran’s move to bypass the traditional SWIFT network, the Federal Reserve, and Lloyd’s of London by offering maritime insurance for the Strait of Hormuz payable entirely in Bitcoin. We explore how the legacy banking system relies on fiat currency dominance and weaponized debt markets to exert global control, effectively forcing sanctioned nations to establish alternative trade settlement routes via gold, energy, and now decentralized technology.  By utilizing Bitcoin’s multi-signature capabilities to embed insurance contracts directly into cryptographic payments, we are witnessing an unprecedented attempt to circumvent Western financial hegemony and central banks. This is not merely about evading sanctions; it represents a structural macro shift demonstrating how sovereign nations can leverage neutral, unconfiscatable hard money to defend against the currency wars historically waged by empires to extract local wealth and force economic subordination. For investors, savers, entrepreneurs, and Bitcoin holders, understanding this global financial restructuring is absolutely critical. During our discussion, we highlight precisely why Bitcoin is structurally distinct from fiat currencies and centrally issued stablecoins, which can be easily frozen, seized, or debased by state actors and corporate foundations.  Because self-custodied Bitcoin operates on a distributed network without a central issuer, it remains completely outside the reach of traditional financial institutions and impossible to freeze. As nations strategically integrate sovereign Bitcoin mining with Chinese manufacturing, Middle Eastern energy corridors, and Asian supply chains, we are looking at the potential formation of an entirely new, parallel global economy that is heavily insulated against traditional financial warfare. This deep-dive analysis unpacks the mechanics of financial sovereignty, the legitimate use of privacy tools like CoinJoin, and the harsh realities of fiat debasement, illustrating exactly why the future of money depends on decentralized, immutable systems rather than easily manipulated debt.   Watch on YouTube   Legal Disclaimer IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ CAREFULLY The information provided in this document is for educational, informational, journalistic, and market commentary purposes only.

• Silicon Valley Meets the CCP: What the Shanghai Summit Tells Us About the AI Arms Race 15.05.2026 1ч 37мин

  The media headlines told you the Shanghai Summit was uneventful, but if you follow the money, the recent meeting between Trump, Xi Jinping, and the Silicon Valley elite signals the final phase of transitioning the US into a regional power within a new multipolar world order. In Part One of this week's broadcast, which features my macro analysis and interview on the Sulaiman Ahmed podcast, I break down the reality behind the Trump administration's engagement with China and what it means for the global financial system. We are witnessing the intentional asset stripping of America to feed a massive new AI and robotics data center economy, using the "AI arms race" as a strategic narrative to justify a Federal Reserve money-printing exercise even larger than the COVID stimulus. With 30-year US Treasury yields pushing past 5% and the bond market signaling severe distress, the Financial-Technical Industrial Complex is actively subordinating nation-state authority to private corporate-public partnerships. By utilizing Foreign Direct Investment as a "syringe"—where foreign entities inject capital but extract the dividends and corporate voting rights—the United States is systematically integrating its strategic tech sovereignty with the Chinese Communist Party. This managed transition away from a dollar-denominated reserve system has profound implications for the global economy, fiat currencies, and your personal wealth. As the legacy fiat system is sacrificed to roll over insurmountable debt in a "fiscal dominance crack-up boom," the government is rushing through the Genius and Clarity Acts to finalize a privatized, programmable CBDC surveillance state. Meanwhile, Wall Street is trapping investors in paper derivative "IOUs" through the ETF scam, masking the potential insolvency of Western paper gold markets while pushing the masses into the legacy banking system. Central banks are aggressively hoarding physical gold to protect themselves, highlighting the absolute necessity for individuals to secure their wealth through physical hard assets and genuine Bitcoin self-custody. Protecting your 24-word recovery phrase on an offline hardware wallet is no longer optional; it is your ultimate defense against the wealth transfer of the coming global technocracy.   Read the blog Watch on YouTube
• Trump in China: Follow the money & the AI Surveillance State Arms Race | Simon Dixon Hard Talk LIVE 15.05.2026 3ч 20мин

  Broadcast Date: 15 May 2026 | Duration: 3 hours 20 mins  When the technical and financial industrial complexes sit down with the CCP, it’s not about the political theater—it’s about following the money into the next phase of the global control grid.  In this full 3-hour and 20-minute broadcast of Simon Dixon HardTalk LIVE, we decode the massive geopolitical and monetary shifts quietly restructuring the global economy.  Part One features my deep dive on the Sulaiman Ahmed podcast, breaking down the Shanghai Summit and the realities of the AI surveillance state arms race. We explore how the engineered energy crisis, the collapse of the petrodollar, and severe bond market distress are being used to justify a historic, fiscal dominance money-printing bailout. This is a managed transition to a multipolar world where the US empire is deliberately asset-stripped to fund a trillion-dollar AI data center buildout, forcing the middle class into an affordability crisis while concentrating wealth upward into the hands of the technocratic elite. In Part Two, Catherine Austin Fitts, Iain Davis, and I join the Kyle Chassé podcast to expose the underlying architecture of this programmable control grid and lay out the blueprint for opting out. We dissect the ongoing multi-trillion dollar financial coup, the weaponization of public-private partnerships like Palantir, and the legislative Trojan horses—like the Genius and Clarity Acts—designed to trap you in a three-lock programmable money system. To survive the incoming fiat crack-up boom and the engineered "Great Poisoning" of our food systems, sovereign wealth builders must aggressively decentralize.  We detail exactly how to protect yourself by moving into hard assets, utilizing self-custody Bitcoin to escape the surveillance state, and building robust, local parallel systems to secure your supply chains, wealth, and freedom.   Watch on YouTube.

• Opting Out of the Grid: Parallel Systems, Hard Assets, and the Fight for Freedom 15.05.2026 1ч 44мин

  The global economy has entered the fiscal dominant stage of an engineered crisis, and the transition to a fully programmable control grid is already live. In this 1-hour 45-minute deep dive recorded on 11 May 2022, I sat down with host Kyle Chassé, Catherine Austin Fitts, and Iain Davis to unpack the active restructuring of the global financial system. We are witnessing massive structural instability: the West is aggressively expanding paper derivative contracts on gold, silver, and Bitcoin, while the East rapidly accumulates the underlying physical assets. At the same time, the financial and military-industrial complexes are utilizing corporate public-private partnerships to build a centralized surveillance state. Geopolitical power is actively shifting to strategic choke points like the UAE, which has become the new node for transnational capital, securing Federal Reserve FX swap lines to print Eurodollars while simultaneously integrating with new energy markets. As Kyle and I discussed regarding the crypto markets, the recent push for stablecoin legislation—such as the Genius Act and Clarity Act—is a Trojan horse designed by the banking lobby. It acts as a covert precursor to Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), threatening to trap consumers in a programmable monetary system tied to social credit scores. For investors, savers, entrepreneurs, and Bitcoin holders, recognizing this trap is the only way to survive the coming programmable fiat regime. Modern financial markets have abandoned reality; prices are dictated entirely by geopolitical manipulation, massive wealth concentration into the tech monopolies, and passive ETF flows managed by mega-asset managers like BlackRock. You cannot simply trade your way out of this crisis. The definitive solution is to consistently dollar-cost average into unconfiscatable hard assets, such as self-custodied Bitcoin, to escape the fiat debt spiral. However, financial wealth alone will not save you. We must aggressively invest in parallel local systems—specifically community agriculture, farmers, and independent supply chains—because BlackRock is either going to own them, or your community is going to own them.   About Catherine Austin Fitts Catherine Austin Fitts is a former Wall Street investment banker, former Managing Director at Dillon, Read & Co., and former U.S. Assistant Secretary of Housing and Federal Housing Commissioner under President George H.W.

• The Dark Financial Realities Behind the Iran War | Simon Dixon on Daniel Davis / Deep Dive 14.05.2026 51мин

  The Dark Financial Realities Behind the Iran War Daniel Davis / Deep Dive | 14 May 2022 | 51 mins War is not just geopolitics; it is a highly optimized business model managed by transnational capital. In this 51-minute episode of Deep Dive, host Daniel Davis steps beyond his traditional military analysis to invite Bitcoin OG, investor, and macroeconomic analyst Simon Dixon to decode the true financial architecture driving global conflict. Rather than viewing the world through the simplified lens of competing nation-states, Dixon exposes the "financial-industrial complex," revealing how the machinery of war is funded by inflation and taxpayer debt while the yields are harvested by transnational asset managers, such as BlackRock and Vanguard, alongside global sovereign wealth funds. Together, they explore how the shifting global chessboard—from the inception of the petrodollar in the 1970s to the emerging multipolar world and the petroyuan—is fundamentally designed to control energy prices, secure rebuild contracts, and manufacture crises that concentrate wealth upwards. Throughout the interview, Davis defers to Dixon’s deep financial expertise, uncovering a hidden dynamic where national governments and military operations act merely as proxies for corporate lobbies utilizing strategic tension to reset global markets. Dixon explains how central banks and vast debt markets are currently weaponized to turn everyday citizens into "debt slaves" reliant on credit and subscription models, while small businesses are systematically bankrupted and acquired by corporate monopolies. As foreign investors dump US debt—pushing bond yields to critical thresholds and driving gold to all-time highs—the global banking system requires massive liquidity injections and the creation of sweeping new financial bubbles, such as the global AI and data center buildout, just to stay afloat. This authoritative discussion cuts through the media theater to deliver a stark, follow-the-money analysis of geopolitics and the financial system, highlighting the urgent need to understand the future of money as transnational forces dictate the new global order.   About Daniel Davis: Retired Lt. Col. Daniel L. Davis is a former U.S. Army officer and military analyst with more than 21 years of service, including combat deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan.

• Trillions Extracted from US Tax Payers | Follow the Money with Simon Dixon 13.05.2026 38мин

  The global financial system isn't failing; it is working exactly as it was designed to. In this 39-minute episode of WTFinance, recorded on 13 May 2022, I sit down with host Anthony Fatseas to decode the real-time rewiring of the world economy.  By ignoring media narratives and strictly following global monetary flows, we uncover that the West has entered the final "asset stripping" phase of a 400-year debt cycle.  We explore how a dominant financial-industrial complex—acting as a modern, decentralised equivalent to the East India Companies—is extracting wealth and driving the transition toward a multipolar, BRICS-aligned world.  As Anthony and I examine the structural breakdown of the petrodollar and the West's unsustainable debt model, I detail how transnational capital uses inflation, geopolitical conflict, and debt markets to socialise losses and concentrate wealth upwards.  From the strategic drain of physical gold from London to Shanghai to the weaponisation of artificial intelligence, this is a deep dive into how governments have become mere balance sheets while everyday citizens are treated as collateral. For investors, savers, entrepreneurs, and Bitcoin holders, understanding this macroeconomic restructuring is critical.  We discuss why fiat currencies, stablecoins, and central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) are constructing a programmable police and surveillance state, and why physical gold has returned as the ultimate reserve asset to bypass Western sanctions.  More importantly, I explain why Bitcoin, backed by a decentralised supercomputer, serves as an un-confiscatable escape valve for individuals seeking to opt out of this rigged system. Ultimately, politics will not fix these systemic issues; only money will.  This conversation lays out the actionable roadmap to surviving the financial reset: securing hard, neutral assets like self-custodied Bitcoin and gold, exiting the fiat Ponzi scheme, and voting with your capital by reinvesting in decentralised, local communities to protect your future.   Read the blog Watch on YouTube
• How War Ends — and Who Decides | Alex Krainer & Simon Dixon on BTC Sessions 08.05.2026 2ч 7мин

  How the Iran War Ends — and Who Decides | Alex Krainer & Simon Dixon on BTC Sessions Host: Nathan Fitzsimmons | Channel: BTC Sessions Published: 7 May 2022 | Duration: 2 hours 8 mins We are currently witnessing a coordinated demolition of the old economic order, driven not by political theatrics, but by the relentless flow of transnational capital. In this 2-hour and 8-minute deep dive recorded on 7 May 2022 for BTC Sessions, I sit down with Alex Krainer and host Nathan Fitzsimmons to decode the hidden financial mechanics driving the conflict in Iran and the broader transition to a multipolar world. Moving beyond mainstream media distractions, I break down how the global "financial industrial complex" has usurped the legacy military empire to orchestrate a global financial reset, intentionally asset-stripping the Western middle class while transferring wealth to transnational institutions. Alex Krainer brings a crucial historical perspective to the table, framing the geopolitical situation as a fundamental clash between the nationalistic "American System of Political Economy" and the wealth-extracting "British Free Trade" system. He further explains how central bank failures, specifically the 2019 repo market crisis, operate as catalysts for timing global emergencies to distract the public from massive bank bailouts. Together, we analyze the deliberate deconstruction of the petrodollar, the shifting dynamics of global debt markets, and the transition of wealth toward a new decentralized infrastructure aligned with BRICS and China’s Belt and Road Initiative. For investors, savers, entrepreneurs, and Bitcoin holders, understanding these macroeconomic realignments is a matter of immediate financial survival. Nathan frames the practical implications of our debate, focusing on the escalating threats of banking sanctions and how the traditional banking system has literally become a cage for your capital.  Both Alex and I completely agree on the urgent need to remove assets from the banking system and build resilient, localized communities. While Alex advocates for physical assets like gold or silver and remains cautious about Bitcoin due to potential privacy and state-seizure risks, I outline why Bitcoin operates as the ultimate portable, censorship-resistant exit from the fiat matrix. With physical gold markets increasingly compromised by paper derivatives and centralized state capture, this episode strips away the political noise to give you the unvarnished reality of how the global economy is being restructured—and exactly how you can protect your purchasing power in the coming decade.   About Alex Krainer: Alex Krainer is a Monaco-based market analyst, former hedge fund manager, commodities trader, and author.

• Escaping the System: A 10-Year Blueprint for Sovereign Wealth 08.05.2026 1ч 59мин

  Are you going to get run over by the artificial intelligence transition, or are you going to build sovereign wealth and escape the financial industrial complex? In this broadcast from 8 May 2026, we break down the accelerating global reset designed to asset-strip the West and trap the middle class in a K-shaped AI economy. In Part One of this Simon Dixon AMA LIVE, we focus on navigating this engineered cost-of-living crisis, exposing how the traditional banking system turns you into a collateralized debt obligation while transnational capital acquires all the hard assets. We explore the spectrum of sovereignty, detailing how you can use jurisdictional arbitrage, zero-counterparty assets like self-custodied Bitcoin, and a 10-year wealth-building strategy to insulate your family against the coming programmable CBDC surveillance state. The fiat system is structurally designed to make you poorer, and your only defense is to strategically and legally move your purchasing power outside of their control grid. Towards the end of part one, I then opened the floor to live questions from viewers who had submitted them via the YouTube chat. Watch on YouTube. 
• How To Win In The K-Shaped AI Economy & Escape The Financial Industrial Complex 08.05.2026 4ч 7мин

  Are you going to get run over by the artificial intelligence transition, or are you going to build sovereign wealth and escape the financial industrial complex? In this 4-hour and 16-minute broadcast from 8 May 2026, we break down the accelerating global reset designed to asset-strip the West and trap the middle class in a K-shaped AI economy.

In Part Two, I sit down with geopolitical analyst Alex Krainer on BTC Sessions to uncover the hidden financial mechanics behind the current conflict in the Middle East. We are witnessing a covert currency war where gold, oil, Federal Reserve FX swap lines, and alternative payment rails like mBridge are actively deconstructing the petrodollar. This conflict is not merely about nation-states fighting one another; it is a coordinated operation by transnational capital to execute a managed transition to a multipolar world order, repricing global commodities and wiping out the working class in the process. We dissect how global leadership is facilitating this monumental wealth transfer and discuss actionable ways you can protect yourself by localizing your supply chains, building parallel peer-to-peer economies, and exiting the fiat Ponzi scheme entirely. Always remember, you are alive at one of the most interesting times in financial history—it's going to be really hard for some and great for others, and you must ensure you are on the right side of this change.   0:00 How To Win In The K Shaped AI Economy and Escape The Financial Industrial Complex 1:01:20 AMA Begins 1:59:35 Simon Dixon and Alex Krainer on BTC Sessions Interview
• The AI Bailout, Oil Shock & Wealth Transfer | Simon Dixon on Macroaggressions w/ Charlie Robinson 07.05.2026 1ч 2мин

  The petrodollar arrangement is, in my opinion, unraveling, we are transitioning into a multipolar world order, and the transnational financial industrial complex is engineering what could become the largest wealth transfer in history. In this 1-hour and 7-minute episode of Macroaggressions recorded on 7 May 2022, I sit down with host Charlie Robinson to strip away the political theater and map out what I believe to be the real global chessboard. Addressing Charlie’s probing questions on the end of the American empire and what I view as engineered global crises, we follow the money to explore how central banks, legacy asset managers, and global insurance markets may manipulate geopolitical choke points—such as the Strait of Hormuz—to manufacture compliance and consolidate power. We discuss how, in my opinion, rolling crises have repeatedly served to justify ginormous money printing exercises that socialize losses, hollow out the middle class, and privatize gains for the elite shareholder class. I also explain why I believe the system is orchestrating a calculated recession and energy shock to justify a massive new fiat expansion aimed at bailing out the AI trade and positioning China and the United States for dominance in the global technological race. For investors, savers, and entrepreneurs, understanding this macroeconomic architecture is, in my opinion, essential for navigating the accelerating K-shaped economy. If you are trapped in fiat currency and debt, you may be increasingly exposed to inflationary pressures; however, owning hard assets could provide protection against what I believe is a long-term restructuring of the global financial system. During our discussion, I detail what I see as the critical difference between the centralized, programmable surveillance infrastructure emerging through Silicon Valley “crypto” projects and the importance of holding self-custodied Bitcoin. I explain why I believe legacy finance is aggressively attempting to capture Bitcoin through Wall Street wrappers, ETFs, and institutional debt structures in order to create a centralized paper market, making real decentralized asset ownership increasingly important. This is a direct, macro-focused analysis of the future of money, offering my personal views on the trends, risks, and opportunities shaping the years ahead.

• Are The Elite Trying To Destroy The World...On Purpose? | Simon Dixon & Simon Michaux 01.05.2026 1ч 39мин

  Title: Are The Elite Trying To Destroy The World...On Purpose? | Simon Dixon & Simon Michaux Published: 29 April 2026 Duration: ~ 1 hr 40 mins Hosted by: Danny (CapitalCosm) I recently sat down for a nearly two-hour deep dive on the CapitalCosm channel, hosted by Danny, alongside the industrial systems analyst Simon Michaux. In this extended session, we map out our competing—yet often converging—models of how the global power structure actually operates. Instead of getting lost in conspiracy theories about a secretive committee of 300, I break down my model of following the capital flows. We discuss the massive power struggle at the top between the Financial Industrial Complex (FIC), the Military-Industrial Complex (MIC), and the Technological Industrial Complex (TIC). I explain how transnational capital is engineering a global reset and utilizing geopolitical choke points—like the closure of the Strait of Hormuz—to drive us into a technocratic surveillance state and a multipolar world order. Meanwhile, Simon Michaux brings his expertise in raw materials and thermodynamics, detailing how the global system is structurally trying to correct itself through massive commodity blowouts. He shares his theory that we are being funneled into "Technofeudalism," where economic devastation and engineered energy shortages are used to force the public to accept a new programmable control grid. Key topics we cover in this episode: The Global Agenda: Why America is less of a country and more of a series of companies managed by transnational capital, and how the "K-shaped economy" transfers wealth from the working class to the shareholder class. The Geopolitical Chessboard: Breaking down the current events, including the breaking news of the UAE leaving OPEC, and how the FIC is building penetration centers in a multipolar world through the BRICS and GCC corridors. The Truth About Crypto: I share my deep insights from the earliest days of Bitcoin, why I believe it originated from intelligence circles as an "exit" for the elites, and how stablecoins and CBDCs (like FedNow and the Digital Euro) are the real programmable nightmare they intend to enforce. The Solution: We don't just admire the problem. Simon Michaux discusses building localized communities with alternative energy like Thorium MSR. I share my belief that there is no political solution—only a spiritual and financial one. We must boycott the system, allocate our capital locally, and use financial sovereignty to opt-out and fight back. It was a true pleasure battling out these ideas. If you want to understand the architecture of the system so you can beat it, you won't want to miss this one. DISCLAIMER Please note that I am not providing financial or legal advice to anyone. You must follow the laws in your own country, and you are always subject to the law no matter what you choose to do with your money. Nothing in this discussion condones illicit activity; if you are committing a crime, you are committing a crime. The views and models discussed in this video are purely for educational and informational purposes, aimed at explaining structurally how these systems are set up.
• UAE LEAVES OPEC, Is This The End Of Saudi Arabia and Opec Countries? | Market Update 28.04.2026 43мин

  Market Update Host: Sulaiman Ahmed Guest: Simon Dixon Date of interview: 28 April 2026 Hey hey Sovereign Wealth Builders,  Simon Dixon here. I recently joined Sulaiman Ahmed on his brand new YouTube channel, Moral Resistance, to break down some breaking news: the UAE has decided to leave OPEC. We dive deep into a pretty geeky topic, but the implications for our global monetary and financial architecture are significant. If you want to understand the reality behind the headlines and the shifting power dynamics of the oil world, this market update is for you. In this interview, we strip away the noise and look at the real geopolitical mechanics at play. I explain how the UAE has been actively building alternative financial rails—from joining BRICS and integrating into the Chinese payment system (SIPs), to their vital role in the gold corridors and the MBridge network of central bank digital currencies. We break down how these moves, combined with Federal Reserve FX swap lines, are systematically accelerating the change of the dollar system as we know it and laying the foundation for multipolarity. We also don't hold back on the ugly truth about OPEC. I explain exactly why OPEC is a price-fixing cartel that suppresses alternative energy innovation to prop up the profits of big oil and sovereign wealth funds. We explore whether the UAE's move is a coordinated game of good cop/bad cop with Saudi Arabia, or if it will genuinely help break the cartel, and bring the real price of energy down for consumers once the Strait of Hormuz reopens. Most importantly, I take off my analytical hat and put on my humanitarian hat to discuss the devastating K-shaped economy we are entering. I believe we are witnessing a highly coordinated, manufactured global crisis designed to accelerate massive wealth transfer upward, while building out a Palantir-driven, AI surveillance state. Sadly, it’s the poorest in our society who are being forced to pay the price and are reaching their ultimate breaking point. Grab a coffee and get ready for a deep dive. Let me know your thoughts in the comments below: Do you think this is the end of OPEC? Are we heading into a manufactured financial crisis and a surveillance state where you owe nothing?
