    #768: DAC8 Is A Kidnapping Factory with Francis Pouliot

    Marty sits down with Francis Pouliot to discuss Bull Bitcoin's legal fight against DAC8 and MiCA in France, the dangers of FATF-driven surveillance regimes, and the Bitcoin privacy tools like PayJoin and Silent Payments that builders are deploying to resist global KYC overreach.

    Ten31 Timestamp: The American Century (?)

    The guys kick off the Fourth of July week by arguing that high agency culture is still America's edge, then dive into why AI is officially too big to fail. Marty and John break down FERC forcing grid operators to fast track data center connections, OpenAI floating a five percent stake to the Trump administration, and Marc Andreessen landing on the Pentagon's defense policy board. They also dig into the memory bottleneck squeezing the chip buildout, why frontier models are not getting commoditized by open source, and what Saudi oil flows back at ninety percent mean for Iran's leverage. To close, they look at Trump's fifty million dollar Bitcoin stash, Strategy selling coin to fund dividends, and whether Washington might already be building a strategic position through the public markets. 🔗 https://bitcoinproducts.com In this episode: Happy Fourth and why high agency culture still matters FERC orders grid operators to fast track data center interconnection OpenAI proposes a five percent stake to the administration Marc Andreessen joins the Pentagon defense policy board TSMC doubles down in Arizona and the fifty percent fab target Memory bottleneck, DRAM, and the chip shortage reality Frontier models versus open source commoditization fears Saudi oil back to ninety percent and Iran's floating stockpile China housing collapse and liquidity pumps Trump discloses fifty million in Bitcoin cold storage Strategy's digital credit framework and Bitcoin sales Could Washington be building a strategic reserve via public markets TIMESTAMPS: 00:00:00 - Happy Fourth and high agency culture 00:02:01 - Grid stability and energy abundance 00:02:40 - FERC orders fast track data center interconnection 00:04:51 - AI officially too big to fail 00:05:50 - OpenAI proposes five percent stake 00:08:31 - Marc Andreessen joins defense policy board 00:10:59 - TSMC doubles Arizona investment 00:14:11 - Memory bottleneck and chip headlines 00:17:12 - Etched and compute breakthroughs 00:18:42 - Frontier versus open source models 00:21:33 - Saudi oil flows and Iran stockpile 00:23:46 - China housing and liquidity pumps 00:24:59 - Trump Bitcoin disclosure 00:27:34 - Strategy digital credit framework 00:28:12 - Strategy sells Bitcoin for dividends 00:31:25 - Strategic reserve via public markets 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 #AI #Energy #TSMC #Strategy

    #767: The First Bitcoin Miner with Alex Waltz

    Marty sits down with Alex Waltz to discuss his forensic investigation into Bitcoin's first seventy-two hours, which uncovers that Satoshi Nakamoto likely ran both a clearnet and Tor node to bootstrap the network, reveals Hal Finney as the third node but second person to join, and exposes how the nascent blockchain ground to a halt eight separate times.

    #765: The Bitcoin Home Mining Playbook with Exergy

    Marty sits down with Tyler Stevens and Dylan Seib to discuss their playbook for integrating Bitcoin miners into home and commercial heating systems, monetizing excess solar instead of selling it back to the grid, and building open source control systems that turn industrial ASICs into useful home appliances.

    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
