    EP63 The Bitcoin-Backed Shadow Financial System A Strategic Briefing with Matthew Pines

    America’s global power has always been built on controlling networks, money, trade, and communication. But today, those networks are under attack.  China’s Belt & Road is building a parallel system, Stablecoins are being weaponized as tools of financial repression, and Bitcoin is emerging as a strategic asset that could flip global finance. Add AI-driven narrative warfare, and we’re entering a battle between centralized control, the Tower and decentralized freedom, the Square.  Today, Matthew Pines and I unpack how America’s monetary tech stack is being rebuilt; before it’s too late.

    EP60 The Art of Bitcoin Price Discovery with Simple Steve

    Welcome to Navigating Bitcoin’s Noise, the podcast where we cut through the clutter and bring you the clearest insights on Bitcoin. I’m your host, Kane McGukin, and today I’m joined by artist, builder, and Bitcoin thinker, Simple Steve. In this episode, I talk with Steve about his project UTXO Oracle and the deeper implications of price discovery in Bitcoin. We explore why exchange-based pricing is fundamentally flawed, how Bitcoin offers a more transparent and decentralized alternative, and what it means to truly see price emerge from the network itself. Steve shares how his visualizations and tools help strip away noise, offering a way to observe Bitcoin as the foundational layer of a truly free market—where price isn't dictated, but discovered. If you’re curious about how Bitcoin redefines value, data transparency, and economic trust, this episode is for you. So sit back, relax, and let’s get started.
