Happy Halloweeny from Cruella, Bumble ₿ and Queen ₿ 🧡🐝

You’ll like this weekend listen: an update on macro, AI stocks, security risks to Bitcoin and

's bull/base/bear case for BTC:

Social Security and Medicare are a ticking time bomb. No politician has the courage to tackle it.

But the bill is coming due. Don’t miss this special explainer video my team and I produced:

JPMorgan thinks Bitcoin will outperform every major asset for the next 10 years.

But the crazy part is the bank still won't include it in its model portfolios.

Meanwhile, Chamath says Bitcoin is going to ZERO.

I break it all down in this week's News Block, along with the biggest stories moving the economy. Watch or listen now.

This is a wild conversation.

Sue Ennis was a Bitcoin mining executive who left to run an AI companion robot company, and what she told me about this emerging tech left me pretty speechless.

Share your thoughts - would you ever get an AI robot companion??

How cute is Holly 🥰

This week's News Block 🎙️

• Bitcoin dipped under $80K after a hot inflation print
• Paul Tudor Jones says he'll be short stocks all of 2027
• Strategy and Metaplanet could get kicked out by MSCI
• Strive launches $SATS, a new preferred stock with a 15% dividend

I was down with pneumonia last week but I’m back, and this week’s News Block is a big one.

Bunker mode, tampered devices, a gold hire at Treasury, and Luke Gromen picks a fight with digital credit:

The Fed raised rates last month on a jobs report that has since been revised into a loss, and the 10-year yield is at a 24-year high even though the Treasury is buying back $6 billion of its own bonds at a time to hold it down…yikes.

Will we see 10% mortgages soon?

This week's News Block covers the jobs report and bond market, plus two stories that got less attention than they deserved:

• Hester Peirce leaving the SEC after nearly nine years with no replacement nominated
• A Bitwise survey in which not one of fifteen major institutions sold Bitcoin during a 50 percent drawdown, and one sovereign wealth fund funded part of its position by selling gold.

My team worked for over a month on this educational piece about how we experience Broken Money.

You don’t hate capitalism. You hate crony capitalism.

Tax the Rich and socialism aren’t the solution.

Don't miss my brand new show with Jordi Visser.

Jordi says he sees Bitcoin differently than anyone he knows, and that includes Saylor. He agrees it will serve as the collateral of the system, but he disagrees about what gets it there.

We get into the latest AI warnings, whether the data center spending ends the way 2008 did, what actually starts Bitcoin's next bull run, and why he thinks worrying is a waste of energy.

A 10 minute macro fix with Danielle DiMartino Booth, former Fed insider:

Tether is becoming a much bigger player in Bitcoin than I think a lot of people realize.

It backed Elektron into one of the largest mining operations in the world, owns the vast majority of XXI, and is now helping shape what XXI becomes after Jack Mallers.

I asked new CEO Rapha Zagury the questions Bitcoiners actually care about: what Tether is building, whether its growing influence should worry Bitcoiners, what happened at Ocean, and where all of this is headed.

Let me know what you think:

Anthropic’s CEO says AI is moving too fast and wants government help slowing it down.

David Sacks says companies can hit the brakes themselves but shouldn’t “form a cartel.”

Also this week: • 85% odds of a Fed rate hike • Trump’s $5,000 promise • Metaplanet responds to shareholder backlash • Blockstream to Liquid hackers: “It is theft.”

Miners pivoting to AI. Treasuries selling BTC. Sentiment near all-time lows.

I asked Fred Thiel, CEO of MARA, about all of it - the pivot, the 20,000 BTC sale, and whether he’s still a Bitcoiner at heart…

David Hunter is back on the show! Yes, he’s been calling for a bust for a while now. So we talked about it directly. His view is that he’s stayed bullish the entire climb - the bust comes after the top, not before - and that the leverage in the system today goes well beyond 2008.

He’s also candid that he’s cautious on Bitcoin short-term and doesn’t follow it closely, but says he genuinely wants to see how it holds up through a real bust.

Plenty to chew on here. Full convo:

You can do everything right - cold storage, multisig, a seed phrase nobody could ever guess - but none of it protects you from a wrench attack.

2026 is on pace to be the worst year on record for physical attacks on Bitcoiners, and France has become the case study nobody wanted.

So I asked a simple question: who's the one person to learn this from? Claude and ChatGPT both gave the same name:

, co-founder and CSO at Casa, and the person who keeps the archive tracking these attacks worldwide.

On July 21 he's doing a live, no-hype session on how not to become the next name on that list: why France became ground zero, how to know your own risk level, what actually protects you versus what's just for show, and your questions answered live.

A clip went viral this week of a professor declaring that Bitcoin is a CIA surveillance tool and demanded to know "where are the servers?"

We’re 17 years in and the basic facts of what Bitcoin actually is still get lost. Which is one of the reasons why I found the Finding Satoshi documentary worth watching.

It's not what I initially expected. It's less about putting a name on Satoshi and more about tracing where Bitcoin came from: the ideas, the people, the years of cryptographic work that made it possible.

For the record, I don't think we need to unmask Satoshi. There's something beautiful about a creator who walked away and let the protocol speak for itself.

And this also isn't like the New York Times piece that recently dropped falsely naming Adam Back…that was based on circumstantial writing analysis, no cryptographic proof, plus Back has denied these claims for years. NYT got it wrong.

What really got me were the moments with Fran Finney. Hearing her talk about Hal - who he was, what he believed, how he helped change the world - hit me hard. Their love was an inspiration.

Behind all the code and the debates and the price charts, there are real people who poured their hearts into building something that could set the rest of us free.

Fran's love for Hal comes through in every word she shares, and her strength in carrying his legacy forward move me more than I can put into words.

The film also puts to rest the lazy narrative that Bitcoin is some CIA or NSA creation. It's not. Bitcoin came from cypherpunks who spent decades fighting for privacy, sovereignty, and individual freedom. That's a story worth knowing, and one worth holding onto.

Appearances in the film include Michael Saylor, Adam Back, Jameson Lopp and many more.

More downside risk for Bitcoin? $40k possible? What’s the good news?

It’s always great to join a news show where the anchor is so open minded to Bitcoin.

Technical chart analysis made simple with Kevin Wadsworth of Northstar & Bad Charts.

We break down his case for more downside risk (bitcoin to bottom in Q3/Q4?) and the Capital Rotation Event: why many assets look bearish while gold holds strong.

My latest show with former Fed insider Danielle DiMartino Booth about Trump’s battle with Jerome Powell, whether we will have a “shadow Fed Chair,” the rise of gold, her view on Bitcoin as the riskiest asset and much more.

I’ve had more people reach out to me shaken in this cycle than even in 2022 (when Bitcoin went down 75% from $68k ATH to $16k!) saying they’re panicked, they sold, or they’re suddenly “not sure” about Bitcoin.

Some bailed into gold because they still want to stay on the hard money train. Some are convinced quantum computing is about to “break” Bitcoin. Some tell me I’m reckless for being so undiversified with my life’s savings.

I understand the fear. Drawdowns aren’t fun. They can mess with your confidence and your timeline…especially when the mood is this dark (and when your income is tied to the same asset you’re holding!).

But here’s where I’m at: Bitcoin is still the only life raft worth holding and helping other people find.

My mom gets $900 a month in Social Security. Who can live on that? That’s not a retirement plan - it’s a slow economic strangulation.

So no, I’m not in Bitcoin because it’s some thrilling get rich overnight scheme. I’m in Bitcoin because I don’t see another path that gives everyday families like mine a real shot. I didn’t get in early enough to be “set.” I’m still building. Still working. Still trying to protect the people I love in a system that keeps making life more expensive!

I haven’t lost faith….not because I’m numb to this volatility, but because the problem Bitcoin solves hasn’t gone away.

If you’re shaken right now, you’re not weak. You’re human. Just don’t confuse a bad market mood with a broken thesis.

Keep going. Zoom out. Do the work. Take care of your family. I’m doing the same. We’ve got this.

Lately there's a "Boomers vs Younger Generations" framing about wealth. But the truth is, not every boomer is sitting on a pile of assets.

In this new episode with Lawrence Lepard and Bob Burnett we dig into the Boomer Case for Bitcoin, why gold has been outperforming and signs that a "Big Print" might be imminent:

YouTube is censoring this talk about Big Food and Big Pharma, help us out and give it some views!
