    Mentor Sessions Ep. 045: Bitcoin Privacy Erosion, Quantum Myths & AI Data Threats | Time Chain Calendar Creator TC What if the Biggest threat to your Bitcoin isn't AI or Quantum computers, but your own lack of knowledge? Time to level up. In this must-watch episode of BTC Sessions, anonymous Bitcoin trailblazer TC (@Meditation_Man), creator of the revolutionary Time Chain Calendar, exposes why privacy is Bitcoin's endangered lifeline—handing over your data to social media and governments isn't just careless, it's handing enemies an asymmetric edge that could wreck your stack. He debunks quantum FUD as overhyped mythology, reveals how AI devours your personal info into manipulative models, and drops actionable secrets like running your own node for true sovereignty, mastering UTXOs to slash fees and boost privacy, and why Nostr is the decentralized shield against censorship. From $5 wrench attacks to regulation by prosecution horrors like the Samurai case, TC warns normies: Bitcoin isn't just "number go up"—it's your stand for freedom in a world rigged to control you. If you're stacking sats the best thing you can do to level up your security is to keep learning! Dive in now for the tools to protect your Bitcoin forever.

    QE on Steroids, Bitcoin Business Revolution, Public Miner Doom | Gary Cardone

    The Bitcoin Boomers Ep. 03: Bitcoin Freedom Revolution, Big Print on Steroids & Public Miner Doom | Larry Lepard, Bob Burnett, Gary Leland, Gary Cardone Gary Cardone (energy veteran, fintech pioneer, and acclaimed artist) joins Larry Lepard, Bob Burnett, and Gary Leland for a no-holds-barred Bitcoin Boomers episode that exposes the fiat system's soul-crushing traps and Bitcoin's path to ultimate freedom. From the opening salvo, Gary drops bombs: "Bitcoin is the primary business without an HR department," freeing him from "dumb meetings about dumb subjects" to pursue art and self-discovery. The crew dismantles fiat's "treadmill" (Larry: "The only thing more limited than Bitcoin is your time—and Bitcoin gives it back"), warns of ethical "prostitution" in corporate ladders, and reveals how creatives spot Bitcoin's magic first by thinking outside the box. Bob slams public miners' impending doom amid 2025's $8.6B M&A frenzy and harsh margins, while championing decentralized energy "sinkholes" for wasted power. Larry's prescient "big print" prophecy hits home as the Fed ended QT in December 2025, restarting QE with $40B/month Treasury buys amid liquidity strains—fueling Bitcoin's hedge role despite its dip to ~$87K from $126K highs. They debate deflationary shocks from immigration policies, why success isn't chasing dollars (Gary: "Even billionaires don't get freedom"), and raw advice for young stackers: ditch consumerism, seek mentors, pay yourself first with 10% in BTC for compounding magic.This is the orange-pill blueprint for boomers and millennials alike—escape fiat's rat race before the next debasement wave. If you're tired of quarterly BS and ready for Bitcoin's no-HR revolution, hit play now.

    The Brutal Truth about Government Bitcoin Adoption No One Wants to Hear

    Mentor Sessions Ep. 044: Bitcoin Freedom, Government Adoption Risks & IMF Criticism | My First Bitcoin Founder John Dennehy What if government Bitcoin adoption isn't the victory everyone celebrates... but the greatest threat to true Bitcoin freedom? In this eye-opening interview on BTC Sessions, John Dennehy — founder of My First Bitcoin — drops the uncomfortable realities: governments and corporations could co-opt Bitcoin, turning it into just another controlled asset while stripping away self-custody, sovereignty, and individual power. He exposes the IMF's exploitative grip on nations, warns that politicians are "fair-weather friends" to Bitcoin, and shares why grassroots education and real-world usage are the only path to genuine liberation. From his own arrests and jail-cell epiphany ("They can't take this from me") to brutal lessons from El Salvador's experiment, John reveals why Bitcoin isn't just "number go up" — it's the tool to build a freer world, starting with self-custody and rejecting centralized control. If you're serious about Bitcoin as freedom money, this is the conversation you can't afford to miss.

    The Real Threat Is No Longer Bankers, It's the Tech Overlords Above Them | Kruse & Dixon

    Mentor Sessions Ep. 043: Exposing the Global Elite's Bitcoin Psyop: BlackRock, Zionists, and AI Transhumanist Control – Privacy Under Attack | Dr. Jack Kruse & Simon Dixon What if the real threat to Bitcoin isn't BlackRock's financial industrial complex... but a Zionist psyop powered by transhumanist AI control, turning us into compliant slaves while elites centralize everything? In this bombshell interview, neurosurgeon Dr. Jack Kruse and banking reformer Simon Dixon dismantle the global elite's pyramid of power—from Meyer Lansky's control tactics to Roy Cohn's McCarthy psyop, Epstein blackmail networks, and modern threats like Palantir's genocide tech, Neuralink brain interfaces, and Trump's Genius Act. They reveal how bankers like Larry Fink and Michael Saylor are just lower nodes serving tech overlords (Peter Thiel, Alex Karp, Larry Ellison), weaponizing ETFs, stablecoins, and treasury companies to crush self-custody. With privacy attacks escalating—exemplified by the Samourai Wallet developers' recent sentencing (Keonne Rodriguez, William Hill)—they warn of false flags, civil war setups to rewrite the Constitution, and multipolar Bitcoin resistance. As Bitcoiners, we must adopt first-principles thinking, boycott centralized systems, run nodes, and coordinate like savages to survive the technocratic nightmare. This isn't about number go up—it's survival of the wisest against AI control grids and global elite agendas. **Support Bill and Keonne, the Samourai Wallet developers** https://billandkeonne.org/ Petition: https://www.change.org/p/stand-up-for-freedom-pardon-the-innocent-coders-jailed-for-building-privacy-tools Give-Send-Go: https://www.givesendgo.com/billandkeonne BTC Sessions Bitcoin Donations Collection: https://pay.zaprite.com/pl_m0nBvozQNF (All Bitcoin Received will be converted to fiat and sent to Give-Send-Go) About Dr. Jack Kruse: X: @DrJackKruse Website: https://jackkruse.com/ About Simon Dixon: X: @SimonDixonTwitt YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SimonDixon21 Previous Episode: Mentor Sessions Ep. 042: Canada's Real Estate Horror Exposed | Steve Saretsky: https://youtu.be/G7J-URuoRiE Previous Episode with Dr. Kruse: https://youtu.be/A0onGcn17fQ 💰 Supported by @BowValleyCU — Tired of big banks?
