    Ten31 Timestamp: DRAM Rules Everything Around Me

    The Iran deal is back on again and off again, but oil is not buying it. Marty and John sift through the weekend headline chaos to focus on what actually matters: WTI near seventy dollars and the dollar index back above one hundred. They break down Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's speech on economic statecraft, why reshoring critical supply chains is moving from PowerPoint to plant openings, and how Iran's oil sanctions waivers are really a dollar dominance play. They also dig into the AI-driven memory shortage that is ending consumer electronics deflation, the administration's crackdown on frontier model releases, and why Apollo's seventeen percent withdrawal requests are a warning shot for private credit. To close, they look at Strategy's preferred share depeg, Bitcoin scraping fifty-eight thousand, and BlackRock's quiet reiteration that every portfolio needs one to two percent allocated to BTC. 🔗 https://bitcoinproducts.com In this episode: Iran deal whiplash and headline fatigue WTI at seventy dollars and the dollar at one oh one Bessent on supply chain audits and economic statecraft Hard tech reshoring from El Segundo to Michigan Dollar dominance and Iran oil waivers priced in USD AI driven memory shortage ending electronics deflation Frontier AI regulation versus open source models Private credit stress at Apollo and insurers Strategy preferred shares dropping to seventy two dollars Bitcoin at fifty eight thousand and BlackRock guidance TIMESTAMPS: 00:00:00 - Iran deal whiplash 00:01:47 - WTI at seventy dollars 00:02:27 - Bessent on supply chain resilience 00:04:14 - Economic statecraft and coercion 00:06:08 - Hard tech reshoring 00:08:55 - Dollar dominance and DXY one oh one 00:10:59 - Iran oil waivers in USD 00:15:27 - AI memory shortage and electronics inflation 00:20:14 - Frontier AI as national security 00:23:18 - Open source versus frontier economics 00:28:43 - Apollo private credit stress 00:32:21 - Strategy preferred shares depeg 00:33:46 - Bitcoin breaks sixty thousand 00:34:18 - BlackRock allocation guidance SUBSCRIBE › Newsletter (free): https://tftc.io/bitcoin-brief/ › YouTube: https://youtube.com/@TFTC?sub_confirmation=1 FOLLOW US › X: https://x.com/tftc21 › Nostr: https://primal.net/tftc FOLLOW MARTY › X: https://x.com/MartyBent › Timestamp: https://www.ten31timestamp.com/ › John Arnold: https://x.com/JohnArnoldTen31 › Ten31: https://ten31.xyz TFTC #MartyBent #JohnArnold #Bitcoin #IranDeal #Oil #AI #PrivateCredit

    #764: Revenge Of The Blue Collars with Peter St. Onge

    Marty sits down with economist Peter St. Onge to discuss the AI bubble's remaining runway of real earnings, the coming renaissance for blue collar workers alongside the gutting of generalist cubicle workers, and why Kevin Warsh should fight inflation by unloading the Fed's balance sheet instead of hiking rates.

    #763: The Everything Bubble Is Ending with Nick Nemeth

    Marty sits down with Nick Nemeth to discuss the rot at the core of private credit and insurance, why layered leverage from sovereign wealth funds to BDCs is pushing the everything bubble toward a systemic unwind, and how Bitcoin’s future depends on rejecting Saylor-style financial engineering in favor of peer-to-peer digital cash.

    Marty sits down with Bitcoin astrologer Erin Redwing to discuss the once-in-6,000-year planetary alignment arriving in July 2026, why AI and surveillance are the era's defining battlegrounds, and how Bitcoiners can survive the coming identity crisis by staying humble and stacking sats.

    Ten31 Timestamp: Bitcoin and the Red Queen

    The Iran deal looked like a breakthrough until both sides started spinning it within the hour, but oil kept falling and the dollar stayed bid anyway. Marty and John walk through a week of narrative violations, from WTI dropping into the mid seventies to Fed Chair Warsh's hawkish first FOMC press conference. They dig into why hyperscaler CapEx exploding while free cash flow collapses makes Volcker 2.0 impossible, how housing affordability and debt service are pushing the Fed and Treasury back together, and why frontier AI is now a state secret. They also check in on Bitcoin's quiet grind, with Taiwan's central bank exploring reserves and BlackRock still building products in the background. 🔗 https://bitcoinproducts.com In this episode: Iran MOU signed and immediately disputed Oil crashing below $75 and the dollar narrative violation Warsh's first FOMC, hawkish dot plot, and stripped down guidance Hyperscaler CapEx surging while free cash flow dries up Housing affordability and why Volcker 2.0 is off the table Fed Treasury accord and the debt service constraint AI treated as national security, Fable 5 pulled from allies Bitcoin range bound while institutions and policymakers build TIMESTAMPS: 00:00:00 - Nickelback and Father's Day 00:00:43 - Iran MOU signed and disputed 00:01:31 - JD Vance delegation drama 00:02:18 - Oil breaking below $80 00:03:35 - Dollar strength and DXY 00:04:21 - Tactical pause theory for midterms 00:05:21 - Narrative violations everywhere 00:07:37 - US capital markets versus China 00:08:20 - Warsh's hawkish FOMC debut 00:09:33 - Stripping out forward guidance 00:10:31 - Balance sheet task force 00:11:38 - Hyperscaler CapEx versus free cash flow 00:13:35 - Meta Google Microsoft AI disarray 00:16:33 - Housing affordability crunch 00:18:44 - Fed Treasury accord 00:19:40 - Debt service and non discretionary spend 00:22:49 - AI export controls and Fable 5 00:24:28 - Bessent NATO and Cuba reforms 00:26:51 - Bitcoin range bound grind 00:28:14 - Taiwan central bank and Begich AMO bill 00:29:15 - BlackRock Franklin Templeton products 00:30:02 - Closing thoughts SUBSCRIBE › Newsletter (free): https://tftc.io/bitcoin-brief/ › YouTube: https://youtube.com/@TFTC?sub_confirmation=1 FOLLOW US › X: https://x.com/tftc21 › Nostr: https://primal.net/tftc FOLLOW MARTY › X: https://x.com/MartyBent › Timestamp: https://www.ten31timestamp.com/ › John Arnold: https://x.com/JohnArnoldTen31 › Ten31: https://ten31.xyz TFTC #MartyBent #JohnArnold #Bitcoin #IranDeal #Oil #FederalReserve #AI #Anthropic #Geopolitics
