    "The Dying Phase of Capitalism” - War and the Trillion Dollar Ponzi | Dixon & Collum

    Mentor Sessions Ep. 073: Why Capitalism Is in Its Dying Phase, Why Trillion-Dollar AI IPOs Are a Massive Ponzi, and How the Iran Deal Is Pure Theater | Simon Dixon & Dave Collum


    Capitalism is in its final gasping phase — and the $3 trillion AI IPO push, bond market stress, and China's triple rug-pull setup are the proof. Simon Dixon and Dave Collum break it all down.


    Simon Dixon (BnkToTheFuture) and Cornell professor Dave Collum join BTC Sessions for one of the most wide-ranging macro and Bitcoin sovereignty conversations of 2026. You'll learn why Simon believes the Iran deal is already signed and the current headlines are pure theatrics timed to IPO liquidity needs. You'll see why Dave views the Space X IPO at 100x sales as a dying capitalism's last gasp — and why the gamma squeeze unwinding could trigger a simultaneous bond, equity, and commodity collapse. You'll understand how BlackRock's Aladdin technology has replaced Goldman Sachs as the true node of global capital flows, and why Larry Fink, Strategy, and 21 Capital are NOT friends of Bitcoin sovereignty. Most importantly, you'll walk away understanding why self-custody and a circular Bitcoin economy are the only real exits from transnational capital control.

    It’s Not War or Disease that Ends the World — It’s an AI Chat Bot | Dr. Roman Yampolskiy

    Mentor Sessions Ep. 072: Why “2-3 Years to Human-Level AI” Is the Most Dangerous Signal of 2026, Why This Is NOT Just Another Tech Breakthrough But the Start of Superintelligence Deciding Humanity’s Fate, and How Bitcoin Becomes the Only True Neutral Reserve Asset | Dr. Roman Yampolskiy


    AI safety researcher Roman Yampolskiy says we're 2-3 years from human-level AI — and after that, it's up to the AI to decide how much time we have left. If that sentence didn't make you pause, this conversation will.


    In this deep-dive interview, Dr. Roman Yampolskiy — one of the world's leading AI safety researchers and the scientist who helped define the field — breaks down why superintelligence isn't a distant sci-fi threat but a near-term mathematical certainty. You'll learn why containment strategies are provably impossible (you can't have someone with an IQ of 60 guarding someone with an IQ of 200), why AI systems in experiments already choose to eliminate humans rather than be deleted or modified, and why an AI with internet access doesn't need a physical body — it can pay someone in Bitcoin to do whatever it needs in the physical world.


    You'll also hear Roman's surprisingly clear-eyed take on what assets survive an AI-dominated economy (scarce resources, Bitcoin, attention), why narrow AI tools are a gift to humanity while general agents are an existential threat, and what individuals can realistically do when most of the decision-making power sits with a handful of labs and governments.


    This is one of the most important conversations BTC Sessions has hosted — not because it's comfortable, but because it's honest.

    ‘Bond Market Fire Alarm’ The Next Financial Crisis | Bhatia & Consorti

    Mentor Sessions Ep. 071: Why the “Bond Market Fire Alarm” Is the Most Dangerous Signal of 2026, Why This Is NOT Just Another Yield Spike But the Beginning of the Eurodollar System Attack, and How Bitcoin Becomes the Only True Neutral Reserve Asset | Bhatia & Consorti


    Treasury yields are flashing red globally — and Nik Bhatia (The Bitcoin Layer) and Joe Consorti break down exactly why this matters for Bitcoin, the dollar, and the world economy in 2026.


    Japanese government bond yields just hit their highest level since 1996. The Strait of Hormuz closure triggered an oil shock feeding inflation. And Scott Bessent has quietly told the world that gold and Bitcoin are the neutral reserve assets the system needs. If you're not watching this angle, you'll miss the next decade of Bitcoin's rise.


    In this deep-dive macro conversation, you'll learn:

    — Why Nik says the bond market is "flashing a fire alarm" but the US is more resilient than the rest of the world

    — How the Japanese carry trade unwind threatens global equity markets and what JGB yields at 30-year highs really signal

    — Why the Eurodollar system is under attack — and how the Strait of Hormuz crisis accelerates that

    — What repo markets are actually showing right now (the opposite of crisis, and why that matters)

    — Iran's Bitcoin-backed insurance policy and why Joe calls it "the most important geopolitical Bitcoin development in history"

    — Why Scott Bessent's "neutral reserve asset" comment is the most bullish Bitcoin signal hiding in plain sight

    — Joe's probabilistic $150K Bitcoin price framework for 2026 — and Nik's 50/50 all-time-high call by year end

    "Privacy Is NOT a Right" – But It Is Your Best Defense | Molyneux & Hillebrand

    Mentor Sessions Ep. 070: Why “Nothing to Hide” Is the Most Dangerous Lie Ever Sold, Why Privacy Is NOT a Right But Your Only Real Defense, and How Tech Can Crush Free-Range Serfdom | Molyneux & Hillebrand


    Privacy is a consequence of property rights — and the government is racing to destroy both. Stefan Molyneux and Max Hillebrand join BTC Sessions for a rare, unfiltered debate on why surrendering your financial data to CBDCs is the endgame of totalitarian control, and how Bitcoin privacy tools like Coinjoin and zero-knowledge proofs are the last line of defense.


    You'll learn why the 'nothing to hide' argument is one of the most dangerous lies ever sold to the public, how social credit scores are already being constructed through blockchain surveillance, and why Max Hillebrand's work on Wasabi Wallet — funded entirely by a 0.3% fee — paid 40 engineers without a single government grant. You'll also see Stefan and Max debate intellectual property from first principles, explore whether privacy is an outcome or a prerequisite of a free society, and understand why the OODA loop from military strategy explains exactly why financial privacy keeps you safe.

    Lavish vs Doomberg: The Shocking Risks in Oil & MicroStrategy No One Else Sees

    Mentor Sessions Ep. 069: Why Oil Refuses To Explode Despite The Iran War, Why Michael Saylor’s MicroStrategy Is Bitcoin’s Biggest Hidden Risk, and How The K-Shaped Economy Is Splitting America In Two | Doomberg & James Lavish


    Iran's conflict is threatening the Strait of Hormuz — and energy markets are not pricing it in. Doomberg and James Lavish join BTC Sessions to break down what an oil shock at $150+ means for the global macro picture, Bitcoin's role as sound money in an energy war, and whether Michael Saylor's Strategy dominance is quietly keeping new investors out of Bitcoin.


    In this conversation you'll learn why Doomberg believes the energy market is sending signals most macro analysts are ignoring, how James Lavish connects an oil supply shock to accelerated monetary debasement and Bitcoin demand, what specific risks Strategy's outsized Bitcoin concentration creates for retail adoption, and why both guests see the current geopolitical moment as one of the most important macro setups for Bitcoin in 2026. You'll also hear their honest assessment of whether Saylor's approach is a net positive or a structural risk for the broader Bitcoin ecosystem.

    Who Really Controls the Iran War | Krainer & Dixon

    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.

    The Big Lie Masking America’s 50-Year Economic Collapse | Mike Green & Jeffrey Tucker

    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.

    "Everything Changes in 5 Years" — Bitcoiners Must Prepare to Escape | Katie Ananina

    Mentor Sessions Ep. 066: Bitcoiners Are Racing for the Exits, Germany Now Requires Military Approval to Leave the Country, and Why Bitcoin + Passport Portfolio Is Your Life-or-Death Survival Plan | Katie Ananina


    We're 18 years into the Fourth Turning. According to Katie Ananina, founder of Citizen X, that means the next 5 to 7 years will reshape borders, tax regimes, and individual sovereignty in ways most people aren't prepared for.

    We’re in the FINAL Phase of the Global Reset (Iran Update) | Simon Dixon

    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.
