Simon Dixon is a geopolitical analyst, Bitcoin OG, and entrepreneur, formerly an investment banker. In this conversation, Simon does a deep dive into the real architecture of power shaping our world, unpacking how financial, military, and technological power structures intersect, and why incentives drive global decisions. From his early days in traditional finance to his journey into Bitcoin, Simon shares what he learned about how money is created, how influence is exercised, how power compromises, and why many leaders operate within larger systems they don’t fully control. We explore the difference between reforming the system and exiting it, the role of sovereignty, sovereign wealth and debt, how media and markets shape narratives, and why Simon sees Bitcoin and self-custody as tools for individual sovereignty. This is a wide-ranging discussion about power, truth, responsibility, and the practical paths toward greater independence in a highly controlled, corrupted world. → Please like, comment, share & follow — to help me beat the suppressing algo's.
