    Jeff Booth vs Simon Dixon: Bitcoin's Abundant Future or Total Dystopian Nightmare?

    Mentor Sessions Ep. 049: Jeff Booth vs Simon Dixon: Bitcoin's Abundant Future or Total Dystopian Nightmare? What if Bitcoin's promise of a deflationary free market utopia crushes the global surveillance state—or traps 95% in a multipolar prison of programmable money, elite control, and endless chaos? In this must-watch, visionary Jeff Booth clashes with geopolitical expert Simon Dixon on whether Bitcoin enforces abundance for all through unstoppable privacy tech like Fedi and Nostr, or merely offers an escape hatch for the few amid dollar demise, AI weaponization, and financial industrial complex capture. From Venezuela's turmoil and Iranian protests to UK thought police and precious metals surges, they expose how centralized custody in ETFs and treasury companies co-opts Bitcoin, risking chain forks and surveillance nightmares. Jeff's optimistic blueprint for agency-driven freedom battles Simon's stark warnings of hybrid systems where the masses "own nothing and be happy," tying into Bitcoin self-custody, decentralized mining, and circular economies as your shield against fiscal dominance and currency wars. If you're stacking sats in a Bitcoin-only world, this debate reveals why privacy isn't optional—it's your path to sovereignty or subjugation. Don't miss the white pill vs. black pill showdown that could redefine your Bitcoin strategy!

    Scott Horton Reveals: Israel's Deadly Trap Luring Trump into Iran War

    Mentor Sessions Ep. 048: Trump Iran War Risks, Netanyahu Regime Change Plots & Middle East Blowback Terrorism | Scott Horton What if Trump's Iran war temptations trigger World War 3, echoing U.S. foreign policy disasters in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Syria—fueling Middle East blowback terrorism, skyrocketing inflation, and endless regime change chaos? In this explosive interview on BTC Sessions, anti-war legend Scott Horton exposes how Israel Netanyahu's strategies have trapped America in perpetual conflicts, risking catastrophic escalation with Iran. From CIA coups in the 1950s to Trump's aircraft carrier moves amid Iranian protests, Scott uncovers hidden U.S. meddling that birthed enemies like Osama bin Laden and ISIS. He warns of Trump's "greatness" lure leading to assassinations, invasions, and economic collapse, while Bitcoin emerges as the ultimate shield—limiting the state's inflationary war machine and empowering individuals against fiat-fueled blowback. Scott ties U.S. foreign policy Iran failures to inflation crises, showing how regime change blowback breeds terrorism and drains trillions. If you're stacking sats in a Bitcoin-only world, this is your wake-up call to endless wars, Netanyahu's influence, and why Bitcoin fixes this—don't miss the history lesson that could save your freedom!
