    Bitcoin About To FORCE Through $125K — Wall St FOMO Is Loading | Scott Melker

    Scott Melker has officially flipped bullish and says $125,000 is just a pit stop on the way to $1 million Bitcoin. Scott Melker, market commentator with over a million subscribers and a daily show on Yahoo Finance, joins the show to break down why he stopped trading altogether, why the Treasury just gave Bitcoin its next real catalyst, and why the resilience shown this summer is the real story nobody is talking about. Here is what we cover: • Why Scott rates his current bullishness at 8.5 out of 10 • The Silicon Valley Bank parallel and why that failure quietly launched the last bull run • Why Bessent's bond buyback announcement is a signal, not the actual mechanism, and what it really tells you • Why liquidated shorts only explain Bitcoin's move up to about $71,000 and what changed after that • Why Scott was the most vocal critic of Bitcoin treasury companies and the story of getting pitched seven of them in ten minutes at Bitcoin Vegas • Why the whale wallets that never sold before finally started selling on the way down into the sixties • Why every worst case scenario of this cycle, including Saylor selling Bitcoin, failed to actually crash the price • The debt situation, forty trillion dollars, and what Scott thinks Bessent actually has to do next • Why the four year cycle proponents were early but may still end up right, and why this drawdown broke the standard playbook • Why Bitcoin's real story this summer was resilience, not price action Scott's honest take on self custody, why he still recommends a mix of multisig, hardware wallets, and ETFs depending on the person • The origin story of Scott's viral moment and why removing the holier-than-thou attitude from Bitcoin content resonated with so many people • Why Scott thinks the AI trade ends in a spectacular explosion eventually, even if the timing is impossible to call • How producing music trained Scott's brain for chart pattern recognition before he ever got into trading This is one of the most candid conversations about where Bitcoin stands right now from someone who has been right, wrong, and back again. 🔔 Subscribe for weekly Bitcoin and macro analysis.

    America Is Sleepwalking Into The Biggest Disaster On Record | Jeffrey Tucker

    America just crossed forty trillion dollars of national debt. Jeffrey Tucker says there is no mechanism left to stop it, and the country is sleepwalking toward a disaster most people cannot even see coming. Jeffrey Tucker, founder of the Brownstone Institute and senior economics columnist at Epoch Times, joins the show for a wide-ranging conversation on the collapse of fiscal restraint, the revelations buried in the newly released 1,100-page Fauci Files, and why he is genuinely saddened by what has happened to Bitcoin's founding mission. Here is what we cover: • Why there is no longer any mechanism stopping Congress from spending unlimited amounts forever • How the national debt went from 19.9 trillion to 40 trillion in just ten years and why the pace is accelerating • Why municipal and state bonds carry real risk premiums while US Treasuries do not, and what that distortion is doing to the system • The 192 years it took to accumulate the first trillion in debt versus the 5 months it took for the most recent trillion • What actually held governments in check historically, from the gold standard to the fear of inflation • Why the American dream is effectively dead for everyone outside the top 5 to 10 percent • Tucker's theory that the poor have become political pawns rather than people the system is actually designed to help • The COVID lockdown decisions and why Tucker believes the entire framework of essential versus non-essential work was fabricated on the fly • What the newly released 1,100-page Fauci Files actually reveal and Tucker's own theory about Fauci's early actions • Why China's view of Western human rights and governance shaped decisions during the pandemic in ways few people have connected • The demoralization of legacy media following the Fauci revelations and why the Pulitzer-winning coverage now looks fraudulent • Why 106 million working-age Americans are completely outside the labor market and what that means for the country's future • Why privacy coins are quietly being delisted everywhere and what that says about where financial surveillance is headed • Tucker's honest and complicated feelings about what has happened to Bitcoin and where he still sees hope This is one of the most unfiltered conversations on the state of America you will hear this year. 🔔 Subscribe for weekly Bitcoin and macro analysis.

    Bessent’s Strategy Exposed — The Great Debasement Everyone Missed | Michael Howell

    Everyone called 2025 the year of the Great Debasement trade. Michael Howell says it never actually happened. And what comes next could be the biggest monetary regime change in 70 years. Michael Howell, liquidity expert and founder of CrossBorder Capital, returns to break down why global liquidity, not M2, is the real driver of Bitcoin, why the bond market just broke a 70-year-old pattern, and why the true debasement trade has not even started yet. Here is what we cover: • Why M2 is the wrong metric for Bitcoin and why global liquidity has a 13-week predictive lead on crypto prices • The BES dollar basket explained and why Bitcoin remains the dominant driver even against Ethereum and Solana • Why the real economy and financial economy are pulling liquidity from each other right now • The AI capex boom draining liquidity from financial markets and starving Bitcoin of fuel • Why the 30-year Treasury yield breaking 5% is a bigger deal than most people realize and why Howell thinks 6% is coming • The 1951 Treasury Fed Accord parallel and why we may be entering a similar regime change today • The $40 trillion debt threshold and why the average tenor of government debt is quietly being shortened everywhere • Why Scott Bessent's yield curve management is printing money without ever calling it printing money • Why Howell rejects the idea that the debasement trade started last year and what the actual tipping point looks like • China's PBOC liquidity injections and why gold's move has been a China story, not a Western one • Bitcoin's global liquidity cycle model and why it points to a bottom around the middle of 2027 • Why Howell is not a believer in the four year cycle and what he thinks is driving Bitcoin's cycles instead • The best monetary hedge for a high inflation regime and why crypto's multiplier effect means even a small allocation matters enormously This is one of the most technically rigorous breakdowns of global liquidity and its relationship to Bitcoin you will find anywhere. 🔔 Subscribe for weekly Bitcoin and macro analysis.

    3 MAJOR BTC ATTACKS: How To Stop Home Invasions + Scams | Tony Yazbeck

    LIVE 🔴 Bitcoin self custody in 2026: the COLDCARD hack, the Trezor data breach, and how to secure Bitcoin. Hardware wallet security, multisig, passphrases, entropy and on chain time locks, rebuilt from first principles. Self custody just failed a stress test nobody was ready for. A COLDCARD firmware flaw produced weak seeds going back to 2021, and coins were swept from people who believed they held the safest hardware wallet made. Trezor customers had their names, home addresses and phone numbers leaked through a shipping partner, many of them people who had only just switched. A fake Sparrow wallet sat live in the App Store. A phishing ad ranked above Trezor's own search result. BitBox audited itself with AI and found critical bugs. The old advice was buy a device, write down your words, you're safe. That advice is dead. In this episode we rebuild Bitcoin self custody from first principles with two people who do this for a living: Tony, founder of The Bitcoin Way, and Doctor Francesco Madonna, CEO of BitVault. They agree on the diagnosis and they disagree, sharply, on the cure. Tony will not allow a third party anywhere near a setup. Francesco's design puts a co-signing key with a service and enforces spending delays on chain. We put that disagreement on the table instead of around it. We also build the actual 2026 process, step by step: ordering a hardware wallet without your home address ending up in the next breach, generating and verifying entropy, passphrase structure, when single sig plus passphrase beats multisig, two of three across multiple vendors, on chain time delays, descriptor backups, and the recovery rehearsal almost nobody runs. 🔔 Subscribe for weekly Bitcoin and macro analysis. 🟣 Download the Rhino App 👉 https://rhinobitcoin.onelink.me/66Ka/bnews Use Promo Code: "BITCOINNEWS" for $21 of FREE Bitcoin when you deposit the first $100 USD into your account. 🔴 Subscribe to our newsletter Bitcoin News Weekly [FREE]👉 https://bitcoinnews.com/subscribe bitcoin #bitcoinnews #finance finance #macro #macroeconomics #bitcoinnews #crypto #cryptocurrencywallets ❗ DISCLAIMER ❗ Bitcoin News is not a financial adviser.

    The Wealthy Are Sitting Ducks For What's Coming (It Will Cost Everything) | Steven Franssen

    The wealthy are sitting ducks. Steven Franssen says most of them do not even realize it. Steven Franssen returns for his third appearance on the show to break down why the newly minted decamillionaires of the last decade have no sound economic footing, why the political chaos in Washington is quietly setting up the largest wealth transfer in modern history, and why $1 million Bitcoin might be the trap that costs complacent wealthy people everything. Here is what we cover: • The Coldcard hack and why the only people protected were the ones who used the randomizing function nobody thought they needed • The ethics of white hat hackers sweeping vulnerable funds and what happens to victims now • Bitcoin governance and consensus explained through the lens of a limited state and voluntary reputation-based society • The PPP loan fraud nobody has to pay back and what it reveals about who the rules actually apply to • Why the great mistake wealthy people are making right now is taking the current situation for granted • Trump's broken promises beyond Ross Ulbricht, the meme coin controversy, and why the Iran war directly suppressed the Bitcoin price • Why Scott Bessent's oil price magic trick has held so far and how long that can possibly last • The generational wealth transfer nobody is talking about and why BlackRock is positioned to inherit what the boomers built • The DSA, downwardly mobile elites, and why hardline ideologies are gaining ground on both extremes • Flock cameras, the surveillance state, and the first real grassroots pushback against it in years • Why the 2026 midterms could hand Bitcoin its biggest bull case yet regardless of who wins • Why Bitcoin becomes more important, not less, as trillions get printed into the AI trade • Closing thoughts on individual change, moral progress, and where Steven finds hope right now This is one of the most wide-ranging and unfiltered political and macro conversations you will find on Bitcoin News this year. 🔔 Subscribe for weekly Bitcoin and macro analysis. 🟣 Download the Rhino App 👉 https://rhinobitcoin.onelink.me/66Ka/bnews Use Promo Code: "BITCOINNEWS" for $21 of FREE Bitcoin when you deposit the first $100 USD into your account. 🔴 Subscribe to our newsletter Bitcoin News Weekly [FREE]👉 https://bitcoinnews.com/subscribe bitcoin #bitcoinnews #finance finance #macro #macroeconomics #bitcoinnews #crypto #cryptocurrencywallets ❗ DISCLAIMER ❗ Bitcoin News is not a financial adviser.

    The Last 2 Weeks Exposed Something Very Disturbing About Bitcoin (I Was Wrong) | Bob Burnett

    Bob Burnett just confirmed the thing most Bitcoiners did not want to hear. BIP-110 did not fail because of the miners. It failed because Wall Street, the exchanges, and Strategy said no. He watched it happen live from his couch, already certain of the outcome since June. Now he is back with the most candid insider account you will hear anywhere: what actually went down at Ocean, why the suits and the custodians decided this fight before a single block was mined, and why the social layer wound from this may take far longer to heal than the technical one ever did. Here is what we cover: • The moment an Ocean-mined block appeared on both sides of the chain split at the exact same time • Why Bob believes BIP110 was never close to succeeding despite the hype in the final weeks • Why he does not agree that miners control Bitcoin and why the real story is about exchanges, custodians, and user demand • How Antpool and Foundry effectively decided the outcome and why Foundry giving clients a binary choice mattered enormously • The Roughnecks group spending roughly half a million dollars a day renting hash rate to keep BIP110 alive • What actually happens to the abandoned BIP110 chain now, including a hard fork, a new hashing algorithm, and a new difficulty level • An inside look at the division within Ocean itself between the three camps, and how Ocean built dual-template infrastructure to give miners a real choice • The full explanation of Ocean's 0.3 BTC refund to users who were signaling for BIP110 without realizing it • Why Bob compares the split to a divorce and calls for empathy and healing on both sides of the community • What comes next for Ocean, including the new Portal product, SOC 2 compliance, and a renewed push for decentralized block production • A first look at a brand new BIP Bob is working on and the open questions around how any future Bitcoin upgrade should be proposed and activated This is one of the most honest and firsthand accounts of the BIP110 fork you will find anywhere. 🔔 Subscribe for weekly Bitcoin and macro analysis.

    Wall Street Has Taken Control of Bitcoin (And There’s No Going Back) | Rod Palmer & Coinicarus

    LIVE 🔴— The battle for Bitcoin is OVER. The Bitcoin Red Team. The Bitcoin Security Consortium. The failure of BIP-110. Something has shifted in Bitcoin and most people have not clocked it yet. Coinicarus and Rod join the show live to ask the question a lot of Bitcoiners are quietly thinking but not saying out loud. Have the suits taken control of freedom money? And if they have, is there any going back? Here is what we get into: Why the Bitcoin Security Consortium and the Bitcoin Red Team signal a new phase of institutional control over Bitcoin infrastructure Why BIP-110 failed and what that failure actually reveals about who holds real power in Bitcoin governance today Whether Wall Street money and corporate treasury companies have fundamentally changed the character of Bitcoin Whether this shift is inevitable maturation or a genuine threat to what made Bitcoin different in the first place What Bitcoiners who care about sovereignty and decentralization should actually be watching for next This is a live conversation, so expect it to get heated. Freedom money was never supposed to have a boardroom. Now it might. 🔔 Subscribe for weekly Bitcoin and macro analysis.
