    Marty sits down with Bitcoin astrologer Erin Redwing to discuss the once-in-6,000-year planetary alignment arriving in July 2026, why AI and surveillance are the era's defining battlegrounds, and how Bitcoiners can survive the coming identity crisis by staying humble and stacking sats.

    Ten31 Timestamp: Bitcoin and the Red Queen

    The Iran deal looked like a breakthrough until both sides started spinning it within the hour, but oil kept falling and the dollar stayed bid anyway. Marty and John walk through a week of narrative violations, from WTI dropping into the mid seventies to Fed Chair Warsh's hawkish first FOMC press conference. They dig into why hyperscaler CapEx exploding while free cash flow collapses makes Volcker 2.0 impossible, how housing affordability and debt service are pushing the Fed and Treasury back together, and why frontier AI is now a state secret. They also check in on Bitcoin's quiet grind, with Taiwan's central bank exploring reserves and BlackRock still building products in the background.

    • Iran MOU signed and immediately disputed
    • Oil crashing below $75 and the dollar narrative violation

    • Housing affordability and why Volcker 2.0 is off the table

    Ten31 Timestamp: Ad Astra Per Nasdaq

    SpaceX finally went public and made Elon a paper trillionaire, but the bigger story is what it says about America's ability to mobilize industry when it counts. Marty and John draw a line from that milestone to the geopolitical chessboard—whether the new US-Iran deal sticks, how Washington is using energy dominance and dollar leverage, and why Anthropic's Fable 5 got yanked by export controls. They also dig into Dario Amodei's AI roadmap, the Social Security math speeding toward 2032, and why the bond market may force a pro-liquidity future that makes US Bitcoin dominance impossible to ignore.

    • Why American manufacturing might not be as dead as the consensus thinks

    • Leveraging energy, seized assets, and dollar network effects
    • Anthropic's Fable 5, AI export controls, and Dario's policy roadmap
