Mentor Sessions Ep. 068: Who Really Controls When the Iran War Ends, Why the World Will Be Unrecognizable in Just 3-5 Years, and How Trump Is Long Bitcoin While Asset Stripping America | Alex Krainer & Simon Dixon

The Iran conflict isn't just a military standoff — it's a financial and geopolitical operation with specific power players steering the outcome. Alex Krainer and Simon Dixon name them.

In this conversation, Alex Krainer and Simon Dixon break down the hidden architecture behind the Iran war in 2026 — who controls its escalation, who benefits from its continuation, and why the official narrative misses the real story. You'll learn which financial and geopolitical factions have the most to gain from prolonged conflict, why the war's end date is not determined by military outcomes, and how this connects to the broader global monetary reset both guests have been tracking for years. You'll also see why Simon Dixon argues this is fundamentally a financial operation dressed as a military one — and what that means for Bitcoin as a neutral reserve asset in a world fracturing along these fault lines.

Mentor Sessions Ep. 067: The Big Lie Masking America’s 50-Year Economic Collapse, Boomers Hoarding All Assets With No Buyers Left, and Why AI Demands Expertise| Michael Green & Jeffrey Tucker

What if the problem isn't the policy — it's the system itself?

Michael Green and Jeffrey A. Tucker sit down for a rare, wide-ranging conversation that cuts to the root of what's wrong with modern economics, monetary policy, and the assumptions most people never think to challenge. From the structural shifts that began in the mid-20th century to the invisible architecture of today's financial system, this discussion pulls back the curtain on ideas that mainstream economists refuse to touch.

In this conversation, you'll learn why participation in the current financial system doesn't equal understanding of it, what economic data from 1950 reveals about where we are today, how the incentives baked into modern money shape behavior at every level of society, why Bitcoin represents a genuine alternative rather than just another asset, and what both Green and Tucker believe must change before any real economic reform is possible. If you've ever felt like the official explanations don't add up — this conversation will give you the framework to understand why.

Whether you're a Bitcoiner protecting generational wealth, a high-net-worth individual seeking legal tax optimization, or simply someone who wants options — this is the roadmap.

Mentor Sessions Ep. 064: The Iran 'War' Is Pure Theater, America's Planned Asset Stripping, and the Final Phase of the Global Reset | Simon Dixon

The Iran conflict looks like the world is on the brink of World War 3. Simon Dixon says it's a carefully staged negotiation —

and the real prize isn't territory. It's oil prices, currency agreements, and Bitcoin.

Simon Dixon returns to break down why the Iran-U.S. standoff is better understood as a theatrical operation run by the

OPEC and financial industrial complex to transition Iran into a Chinese-led new world order. In this conversation, Simon

explains how BlackRock's Aladdin algorithmic trading system is being used to manage oil price narratives, why Iran's Bitcoin

mining operations are a significant leverage point in back-channel negotiations, and how figures like J.D. Vance are being

positioned for future political roles in this transition. You'll walk away understanding exactly which economic signals to watch

— energy prices, currency pegs, global equity markets — as leading indicators of how this geopolitical restructuring plays

out.

Mentor Sessions Ep. 062: CIA’s Deep State Ultimatum, the Next 7–10 Trillion Dollar Print, and Who Really Controls Trump | Lawrence Lepard & Simon Dixon

Shadow forces. Transnational capital. A financial system designed to keep you dependent. And Bitcoin sitting at the center of the most important power struggle of our time.

In this conversation, we go deep on the geopolitical and financial forces reshaping the world in 2026 — who controls them, how they operate, and why Bitcoin and AI are forcing a reckoning that the old guard cannot stop. You'll come away with a clearer picture of how global power actually flows, why the legacy financial system is structurally compromised, and what the rise of decentralized money means for ordinary people caught in the crossfire. This isn't speculation — it's a framework for understanding what's happening right now and why it matters to every person holding bitcoin.

Mentor Sessions Ep. 061: Macro Legends on Oil, the Breaking US Treasury Market, and the Dollar Crisis No One Is Ready For | Luke Gromen & Lyn Alden

Iran doesn't have to beat the US military. They just have to beat the US Treasury market — and that changes everything you think you know about this conflict.

The Strait of Hormuz is the chokepoint for roughly 20% of the world's oil supply, and right now it sits at the center of a geopolitical storm with consequences that reach far beyond the Middle East. In this deep-dive interview, we break down exactly how a Hormuz disruption cascades into oil price spikes, supply chain breakdowns, and a inflation surge that puts the US dollar's reserve status under unprecedented pressure. You'll understand why this conflict is as much a financial war as a military one, what it means for energy markets in 2026, and why Bitcoin's role as a neutral, non-sovereign asset has never been more relevant. Whether you're trying to protect your wealth or just make sense of the headlines, this conversation gives you the framework to think clearly when the noise is loudest.

Mentor Sessions Ep. 060: Senior Economist on Gold, Silver, Bitcoin, AI, Oil, and the Dollar Crisis Nobody Is Talking About | Prof Peter St Onge

The dollar took its biggest hit in 50 years — and most people have no idea it happened.

Professor Peter St. Onge (Heritage Foundation senior economist, Mises Institute fellow) breaks down exactly why freezing Russian central bank assets was a watershed moment for dollar dominance, what Fed panic over oil prices could do to the economy in 2026, and why Bitcoin is positioned to jump when the current geopolitical storm clears. This is the macro conversation you need to hear right now — no fluff, no hopium, just sharp analysis from one of the best macro minds following the intersection of money, geopolitics, and Bitcoin.

You'll walk away understanding why the petrodollar is under real structural pressure, how AI is being weaponized as a narrative tool by global institutions, and what signals to watch for in markets as war, inflation, and dollar credibility collide.

Boomers holding Bitcoin are being targeted by scammers — and most don't know it until it's too late.

In Episode 6 of Bitcoin Boomers, hosts Bob Burnett, Larry Leopard, and Gary Leland sit down with Joe Kelly, CEO of

Unchained Capital, to break down why older Bitcoin holders are disproportionately targeted by scams, what those scams

actually look like, and exactly how to defend yourself. Joe explains what Unchained Capital does, why collaborative custody

is a game-changer for security, and what practical steps any boomer (or anyone) can take right now to stop being an easy

target. Additionally special guest author Terence Michael jumps hops on with some incredible stories of bitcoin theft. If you or someone you love holds Bitcoin and doesn't have a rock-solid security plan, this episode is essential

viewing.

Mentor Sessions Ep. 059: The War Behind the War — Iran Conflict's Impact on Geopolitics, Energy, Money & Bitcoin | Simon Dixon & Dave Collum

The Iran conflict isn't just a military story — it's a financial renegotiation between the world's most powerful institutions, and

Bitcoin sits at the center of what comes next.

Simon Dixon and Professor Dave Collum join Nathan Fitzsimmons to break down the global reset

already underway: why the closure of the Strait of Hormuz triggered renegotiations of 50 critical energy and resource

agreements, how 45 years of compounding market overvaluation is unwinding, and what Dubai's quiet rotation from gold

into Bitcoin signals about where smart money is moving.

This is the framework for understanding 2026 conflict as we shift to a multipolar world— and why the private credit game being over is actually the opening Bitcoin

has been waiting for.
