🇺🇸 🇮🇷 🇮🇱 Iran Won’t Create World War 3 | This Week in Bitcoin, Macro & GeoPolitics

In Episode 86 of BitcoinHardTalk, Simon Dixon unpacks the illusion of escalation surrounding the Israel–Iran conflict, breaks down how financial control is being engineered through stablecoins and U.S. legislation, and reveals how the macro markets are quietly monetizing crisis and civil unrest.

While the headlines scream World War 3, the markets remain calm—and that disconnect is no accident. Simon exposes the mechanisms behind the GENIUS Act stablecoin bill, the strategic weaponization of crypto by political actors like Justin Sun and Trump, and the rise of sovereign Bitcoin strategies across Vietnam, Brazil, and South Korea.

From digital surveillance rails to state-backed hacking of crypto exchanges and banks, this episode dives deep into how the financial system is being reprogrammed in real-time—while most people are distracted by narratives.

This isn’t about conflict. It’s about orchestration.

If you want to understand how it all ties back to Bitcoin, this is your signal.

• U.S. GENIUS Act passes, opening full-reserve stablecoin infrastructure
• Justin Sun–Trump connection grows stronger through WLFI, Tron, and DeFi rails
• Nobitex (Iran’s largest exchange) and SEPA (state bank) hacked in what appears to be coordinated digital warfare
• Bitcoin Strategic Reserve bills in Brazil and Vietnam, with treasury action in South Korea
• Fed holds rates, oil ticks up, but retail sales drop sharply
• U.S. civil unrest monetized while financial markets stay eerily calm
• Israel–Iran war revealed as scripted transition into sanctions relief and regional realignment
• Palestinian statehood and Iran’s diplomatic reintegration surface as hidden endgames
