Simon Dixon joins the show for a conversation on money, power, and why Bitcoin exists at all. Drawing on decades inside investment banking and monetary reform, Simon explains why modern capitalism is not capitalism at all, how debt based money guarantees systemic collapse, and why governments are not the real locus of power. We trace the origins of central banking, fractional reserve lending, and the financial industrial complex, and why attempts at reform were always destined to fail.

We then turn to Bitcoin as both an exit and a battleground. Simon lays out the real attack vectors facing Bitcoin today, from Wall Street financialisation and ETFs to corporate treasury centralisation and custody capture. He explains why self custody matters, why elites want different rules for themselves, and why Bitcoin can survive even if it is co-opted at the edges.
