    Episode 131 - Why Bitcoin Treasury Companies Are an Attack on Bitcoin | Simon Dixon Confronts Mark Moss

    I recently sat down with Mark Moss, and we had to hash out a major disagreement. Mark is an advocate for, and active investor in, Bitcoin treasury companies. But I had to tell him straight: I believe the rise of Bitcoin Treasury companies is actually a calculated Wall Street attack vector on Bitcoin. For 25 years, I’ve tried to unpack how the financial system controls corporations, countries, and individuals. What the media is currently celebrating as "mainstream Bitcoin adoption" is actually a trap set by the Financial Industrial Complex. Mega-banks like JPMorgan and asset managers like BlackRock are using ETFs and corporate treasuries to centralize as much Bitcoin as possible. In this interview, I break down exactly how this works. By taking on massive fiat liabilities—sometimes hundreds of millions in debt against a fraction of that in actual assets—these Bitcoin treasury companies are forced to continually go back to Wall Street to raise more finance. This makes them entirely subordinate to the traditional debt and equity capital markets. It is Operation Chokepoint 2.0: Wall Street is setting up a system of fractional reserve "paper Bitcoin," massive derivatives markets, and short-term price manipulation designed to trigger margin calls and shake retail investors out of their self-custody. Mark defends his position and his investments in the ecosystem, and by the end of our conversation, the tension is obvious. We don't see things the same way, and we are already planning a future debate to dive specifically into this divide. My message to you is simple: you have to understand the rules of this rigged game so you can boycott it. Do not fall for the psyop. The way you win is by maintaining a two-tiered system. Refuse to use their centralized debt products, hold your Bitcoin in self-custody, and run your own node so that we can resist the influence of Wall Street. Bitcoin gave me freedom. Because of it, my company didn't need Silicon Valley money, and I didn't need to go public. Now, I spend my time helping you follow the money and see through the lies of the politicians and the media.

    The Dollar’s Last War: The End of Bretton Woods | SimonDixonHardTalk LIVE

    Episode Title: The Dollar’s Last War: The End of Bretton Woods | SimonDixonHardTalk LIVE | 20th February 2026 This is the FULL LIVE SHOW recording. Date of recording - 20th February 2026.   Watch on YouTube Episode Overview: Welcome to a special, two-part episode of Simon Dixon Hard Talk LIVE. This week, Simon breaks down the historic shift happening in the global financial system: the end of the Bretton Woods era and the U.S. dollar's transition away from being the undisputed global hegemon . In Part 1, Simon maps out the "Dollar's Final Three Acts," detailing Wall Street's accumulation of Bitcoin, the hidden distress in the repo markets, and the geopolitical realignment in the Middle East .  In Part 2, Simon shares a profound, wide-ranging interview with Efrat Fenigson, an Israeli podcaster and ex-IDF soldier  . Together, they explore the "market making of war," the three complexes that rule the world, and what it truly means to stay sovereign in an era of manufactured conflict  . In This Episode: Part 1: The Dollar’s Final Three Acts  Act 1: The Programmable Dollar & Bitcoin Accumulation. How the financial-industrial complex is suppressing Bitcoin's price to accumulate it, while simultaneously building an Orwellian surveillance state through the Clarity Act, the Genius Act, and programmable stablecoins  . Act 2: The Debt Rollover Strategy (Stealth QE). A breakdown of the severe distress in the U.S. repo market. Simon uses an analysis from Infranomics to explain how a $216 billion Treasury auction drained system liquidity, forcing the Fed to digitally print $8 billion to bail out highly leveraged hedge funds engaged in the "basis trade"  . Act 3: Propping Up the Dollar & The "Border Peace". Simon analyzes the geopolitical shift in the Middle East. He reacts to the viral "Gaza Rebirth" framework presented by Jared Kushner, explaining how the military-industrial complex profits from destruction, the financial-industrial complex profits from the rebuild, and the technical-industrial complex profits from the resulting surveillance state  .   Part 2: Sovereignty in a World of Manufactured War (Interview with Efrat Fenigson)  Simon's Origin Story: How the dot-com crash wiped out his father's savings, sparking his 26-year mission to uncover how the rigged financial system actually works  . The Illusion of the Public Markets: Why Simon left traditional finance, his realization that regulators block full-reserve banking, and his early days investing in over 100 Bitcoin companies  . The Three Complexes: A deep dive into the Financial-Industrial, Military-Industrial, and Technological-Industrial complexes, and how transnational capital uses debt and war to control the masses  . Israel, October 7th & Geopolitics: Efrat and Simon discuss the painful realities of how world leaders act as middle-management for power, how wars are manufactured for profit, and their shared perspectives on the events of October 7th  . The Ultimate Exit: Why true freedom cannot be achieved politically, and how absolute self-custody of Bitcoin is the only way to genuinely opt out and boycott the system. About the Guest: Efrat Fenigson is an Israeli podcaster, tech and marketing professional, and a former IDF soldier. She is the host of the "You're the Voice" podcast. Drawing from her lived experience, she frequently speaks out about the "market-making of war" and geopolitical propaganda. Resources Mentioned: • Bank to the Future: Protect Your Future Before Governments Go Bust by Simon Dixon  • The Infranomics analysis on the Repo Market Crisis   • The Disclose.tv/Jared Kushner "Gaza Rebirth" presentation video   • Simon's documentary recommendations: The Money Masters by Bill Still, and Emperor on Mars by Ryan Dawson.

    SimonDixonHardTalk LIVE | Feb 13, 2026 - Weekly Bitcoin, Macro & Geopolitics (Full Replay)

    Hey-Hey Sovereign Wealth Builders, Tonight we’re going LIVE with a Simon Dixon Hard Talk that connects the dots between the Blocksize War, the Epstein-era infiltration narratives, and the current Knots vs Core governance battle — through a macro, geopolitical, and Proof-of-Weapons-Network lens. My answer is simple: there have been multiple hijack attempts — and they continue today. But Bitcoin’s structure (developers, miners, nodes) makes it uniquely resilient. We’ll cover this in three parts: Part 1: Was Bitcoin Hijacked? The Infiltration Operations Explained I lay the foundation and map the four major infiltration vectors I see at play: ✅ Intelligence / Epstein (early reconnaissance + attempted influence) ✅ Silicon Valley (corporate capture, custodians, narrative steering) ✅ Wall Street (ETFs, derivatives, public-company treasuries, custody centralization) ✅ Central Banks / Regulators (Operation Chokepoint 2.0, stablecoins, CBDCs) Part 2: Hijacking Bitcoin? Simon Dixon vs Steve Patterson – BTC vs BCH Infiltration Debate This is not “BTC vs BCH” — it’s BTC infiltration vs BCH infiltration. Steve Patterson (co-author of Hijacking Bitcoin with Roger Ver) and I debate whether either side — or both — were targeted by divide-and-conquer operations, and what that means for Bitcoin’s future. Part 3: Knots vs Core: Bitcoin’s Next Governance War (Core v30 & BIP 110) We bring it right up to today: ✅ Core v30 vs BIP 110 ✅ Miner activation vs user activation dynamics ✅ Ordinals / spam / OP_RETURN policy wars ✅ What happens if an “intolerant minority” tries to soft fork? ✅ Why competing implementations may increase decentralisation — or trigger a new fracture   Read blog Watch on YouTube
