    Episode Title: The Dollar’s Last War: The End of Bretton Woods | SimonDixonHardTalk LIVE | 20th February 2026

    This is the FULL LIVE SHOW recording. Date of recording - 20th February 2026.   Watch on YouTube

    Episode Overview: Welcome to a special, two-part episode of Simon Dixon Hard Talk LIVE. This week, Simon breaks down the historic shift happening in the global financial system: the end of the Bretton Woods era and the U.S. dollar's transition away from being the undisputed global hegemon .

    In Part 1, Simon maps out the "Dollar's Final Three Acts," detailing Wall Street's accumulation of Bitcoin, the hidden distress in the repo markets, and the geopolitical realignment in the Middle East . 

    In Part 2, Simon shares a profound, wide-ranging interview with Efrat Fenigson, an Israeli podcaster and ex-IDF soldier  . Together, they explore the "market making of war," the three complexes that rule the world, and what it truly means to stay sovereign in an era of manufactured conflict  .

    In This Episode:
    Part 1: The Dollar’s Final Three Acts 
    • Act 1: The Programmable Dollar & Bitcoin Accumulation. How the financial-industrial complex is suppressing Bitcoin's price to accumulate it, while simultaneously building an Orwellian surveillance state through the Clarity Act, the Genius Act, and programmable stablecoins  .
      • Act 2: The Debt Rollover Strategy (Stealth QE). A breakdown of the severe distress in the U.S. repo market. Simon uses an analysis from Infranomics to explain how a $216 billion Treasury auction drained system liquidity, forcing the Fed to digitally print $8 billion to bail out highly leveraged hedge funds engaged in the "basis trade"  .
        • Act 3: Propping Up the Dollar & The "Border Peace". Simon analyzes the geopolitical shift in the Middle East. He reacts to the viral "Gaza Rebirth" framework presented by Jared Kushner, explaining how the military-industrial complex profits from destruction, the financial-industrial complex profits from the rebuild, and the technical-industrial complex profits from the resulting surveillance state  .
        •  

          Part 2: Sovereignty in a World of Manufactured War (Interview with Efrat Fenigson) 
          • Simon's Origin Story: How the dot-com crash wiped out his father's savings, sparking his 26-year mission to uncover how the rigged financial system actually works  .
            • The Illusion of the Public Markets: Why Simon left traditional finance, his realization that regulators block full-reserve banking, and his early days investing in over 100 Bitcoin companies  .
              • The Three Complexes: A deep dive into the Financial-Industrial, Military-Industrial, and Technological-Industrial complexes, and how transnational capital uses debt and war to control the masses  .
                • Israel, October 7th & Geopolitics: Efrat and Simon discuss the painful realities of how world leaders act as middle-management for power, how wars are manufactured for profit, and their shared perspectives on the events of October 7th  .
                  • The Ultimate Exit: Why true freedom cannot be achieved politically, and how absolute self-custody of Bitcoin is the only way to genuinely opt out and boycott the system.
                  • About the Guest: Efrat Fenigson is an Israeli podcaster, tech and marketing professional, and a former IDF soldier. She is the host of the "You're the Voice" podcast. Drawing from her lived experience, she frequently speaks out about the "market-making of war" and geopolitical propaganda.

                    ✅ Wall Street (ETFs, derivatives, public-company treasuries, custody centralization)

                    ✅ Central Banks / Regulators (Operation Chokepoint 2.0, stablecoins, CBDCs)

                  • SimonDixonHardTalk LIVE | Feb 13, 2026 - Weekly Bitcoin, Macro & Geopolitics (Full Replay)

                    Hey-Hey Sovereign Wealth Builders,

                    Tonight we’re going LIVE with a Simon Dixon Hard Talk that connects the dots between the Blocksize War, the Epstein-era infiltration narratives, and the current Knots vs Core governance battle — through a macro, geopolitical, and Proof-of-Weapons-Network lens.

                    My answer is simple: there have been multiple hijack attempts — and they continue today.

                    But Bitcoin’s structure (developers, miners, nodes) makes it uniquely resilient.

                    We’ll cover this in three parts:

                    Part 1: Was Bitcoin Hijacked? The Infiltration Operations Explained

                    I lay the foundation and map the four major infiltration vectors I see at play:

                    ✅ Intelligence / Epstein (early reconnaissance + attempted influence)

                    ✅ Silicon Valley (corporate capture, custodians, narrative steering)

                    ✅ Wall Street (ETFs, derivatives, public-company treasuries, custody centralization)

                    ✅ Central Banks / Regulators (Operation Chokepoint 2.0, stablecoins, CBDCs)

                    Part 2: Hijacking Bitcoin? Simon Dixon vs Steve Patterson – BTC vs BCH Infiltration Debate

                    This is not “BTC vs BCH” — it’s BTC infiltration vs BCH infiltration.

                    Steve Patterson (co-author of Hijacking Bitcoin with Roger Ver) and I debate whether either side — or both — were targeted by divide-and-conquer operations, and what that means for Bitcoin’s future.

                    Part 3: Knots vs Core: Bitcoin’s Next Governance War (Core v30 & BIP 110)

                    We bring it right up to today:

                    ✅ Core v30 vs BIP 110

                    ✅ Miner activation vs user activation dynamics

                    ✅ Ordinals / spam / OP_RETURN policy wars

                    ✅ What happens if an “intolerant minority” tries to soft fork?

                    ✅ Why competing implementations may increase decentralisation — or trigger a new fracture

                  • The Epstein Files Marked the Global Financial Reset | SimonDixonHardTalk LIVE (FULL REPLAY)

                    This is the full replay of SimonDixonHardTalk LIVE | 6th February 2026: The Epstein Files Marked the Global Financial Reset | SimonDixonHardTalk LIVE 

                    In this episode of Simon Dixon Hard Talk, we connect the dots between the release of the Epstein files, the origins of Bitcoin, and the massive geopolitical shift toward a multipolar world. This isn't just about the headlines—it’s a deep "follow the money" analysis of how the financial industrial complex utilizes compromised networks to maintain power.

                    Simon deconstructs the files to reveal how they confirm long-held theories about the global financial reset, the push for Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), and the attempts to capture Bitcoin.

                    🔥 KEY TOPICS COVERED IN THIS 3-HOUR RE-PLAY OF SIMON DIXON HARD TALK LIVE:
                    • The "Global Financial Reset" Explained: How the Epstein revelations are being used to strategically weaken the dollar and transition the world into a new multipolar order.
                    • Bitcoin & The Epstein Connections: A forensic look at allegations involving early Bitcoin developers, privacy coins, Blockstream, and figures like Brock Pierce and Adam Back. Did the "Financial Industrial Complex" try to co-opt Bitcoin from the start?
                    • The CIA & Satoshi Nakamoto: Simon shares his theory on the intelligence origins of Bitcoin, Len Sassaman, and how the open-source network has survived multiple state-level attack vectors.
                    • Geopolitics & The Middle East: An unfiltered look at the tensions between Israel, Iran, and the US, and how these conflicts relate to the crumbling of the petrodollar system.
                    • Macroeconomics & Gold: Why central banks are loading up on gold, the strange activity in the silver markets, and what the potential nomination of Kevin Warsh to the Fed means for your money.
                    • 📺 EPISODE BREAKDOWN:
                      • Part 1: The Monologue: Simon breaks down the "wild week" of news, the reality of the "Proof of Weapons" network, and why institutions want you to leverage your Bitcoin so they can steal it.
                      • Part 2: Interview with Sulman Ahmed (Bitcoin Focus): A deep dive into the specific names in the files, the history of the Bitcoin Foundation, the "Civil War" of 2017, and the resilience of self-custody.
                      • Part 3: Interview with Danny from Capital Cosm (Macro Focus): Analyzing the timing of the file release, the "Checkmate" for the Fed, and the shift to gold as a reserve asset.
                      • Part 4: Conclusion: Final thoughts on navigating a high-surveillance, low-trust world and the importance of spiritual and financial sovereignty.
                      • 🚀 TAKEAWAY FOR BITCOINERS:

                        Despite the attempts to infiltrate and centralize the network (ETFs, treasury companies, stablecoins), Simon explains why Bitcoin remains the only anti-fragile exit from the system—provided you hold your own keys.

                      • Episode 125 - Financial Reset, Power Shifts & the New Global Order | SimonDixonHardTalk LIVE | 6th February 2026 (Part 2 of 2)

                        Look, I have spent 25 years in finance doing one thing: I just follow the money. And right now, the money is telling us that the release of the Epstein files is not just a scandal—it is a strategic financial weapon of mass destruction designed to dismantle the trust in the US dollar and push us violently into a multipolar world.

                        This video is a segment taken from the FULL LIVE SHOW of Simon Dixon HardTalk which went live on 6th February 2026. The title of that full broadcast was "The Epstein Files Marked the Global Financial Reset (FULL REPLAY)". In this specific segment, I am sharing a pre-recorded interview that took place on 4th February 2026 with Danny from Capital Cosm. Danny released this conversation on his own channel under the title "The PSYOP To Take Your Wealth (Don't Fall For It) | Simon Dixon".

                        In this deep dive, we strip away the cartoon narratives and look at how transnational capital is actually operating.

                        We discuss:

                        • The Epstein Files as Geopolitics: Why this release confirms that the "conspiracy theories" regarding how the world is run—through compromised networks and blackmail—are actually how the system functions.
                        • The End of the Dollar Hegemony: How the financial industrial complex is effectively weakening the fabric of the American Empire to prepare for a new global order. The Return of Gold: Why central banks are adding massive reserves and why we are seeing the start of gold returning as a reserve asset.
                        • The Attack on Bitcoin: I break down the history of attempted infiltration into Bitcoin, including Jeffrey Epstein's connections to early crypto circles, Blockstream, and the push for centralization.
                        • Geopolitical Theater: The "Border Peace," the vassalization of Iran to China, and the restructuring of the Middle East.
                        • We are entering a world where trust has been broken and trust doesn't scale. The only way to survive this transition is to understand the difference between the "news" and the reality of money flows.

                          If you want to understand the darker reality of how the world works so you can make better decisions for your family and your wealth, you need to watch this.

                          Peace.

                        • Episode 124 - Epstein, Bitcoin Developers & The Infiltration Phase | SimonDixonHardTalk LIVE | 6th February 2026 (Part 1 of 2)

                          Hey hey Sovereign Wealth Builders, Simon Dixon here.

                          The Epstein files have finally dropped, and they have confirmed everything I have been sharing with you about how power really works. This is the unmasking of the Financial Industrial Complex and the "Proof of Weapons" network that has been glued together by blackmail and crimes against humanity. We are watching the global financial reset play out in real-time as they purge the assets that have become liabilities to transition us into a multipolar world.

                          This video includes a vital segment taken from the FULL LIVE SHOW of Simon Dixon HardTalk which went live on 6th February 2026. The title of that full live show is "The Epstein Files Marked the Global Financial Reset". In this broadcast, I break down exactly how these compromise networks attempted to infiltrate Bitcoin—from the collapse of the Bitcoin Foundation to the suspicious funding behind Blockstream and the current ETF narrative.

                          I also feature a very recent, pre-recorded interview I did on 5th February 2026 with Sulaiman Ahmed. Sulaiman titled that interview on his own channel as "EPSTEIN FILES: Was Epstein the Founder of Bitcoin | Simon Dixon". In the description of that video on his channel, it reads: "In this video Sulaiman Ahmed interviews Simon Dixon on Epstein's connection to Bitcoin. Simon also reveals who is Satoshi Nakamoto".

                          In this interview and my analysis, we follow the money to uncover:

                          • The Infiltration of Bitcoin: We look at the emails connecting Jeffrey Epstein to early developers like Amir Taaki, and funding into MIT’s Digital Currency Initiative and Blockstream.
                          • The Satoshi Question: Was Epstein Satoshi? No. But I reveal who I believe Satoshi really was and the intelligence connections surrounding the origins of the project.
                          • The "Adults" in the Room: How the likes of Brock Pierce, Adam Back, and others were involved in the corporate capture of the industry.
                          • The Market Manipulation: Why the price crash to $65,000 was a manufactured move by the financial institutions to margin call you out of your position so they could steal your Bitcoin on the cheap.
                          • They want you to believe Bitcoin is "PedoCoin" so they can scare you away, or they want you to hand it over to Coinbase and BlackRock so they can control you. Don't fall for the psyop. Your duty is to own more Bitcoin this month than last month and hold it in self-custody.

                            Peace,

                            Simon Dixon

                            • Episode 123 - Can Bitcoin Really Break the Financial Industrial Complex (FIC)? Jeff Booth v. Simon Dixon

                              Published date: 24th January, 2026

                              In this deep-dive discussion hosted by Ben Perrin (BTC Sessions), I sit down with author, Jeff Booth to debate the trajectory of the global financial system. Are we heading toward a bright, abundant future, or simply looking for an escape hatch from an Orwellian nightmare? While Jeff and I agree on the fundamental corruption of the current fiat system, we clash on the endgame. Jeff argues that a monetary system based on inflation and theft cannot coexist with the free market—one essentially has to kill the other.

                              My perspective is grounded in the geopolitical reality of a "financial industrial complex" that is actively building a global surveillance state.

                              I argue that while Bitcoin is the ultimate tool for freedom, the vast majority of people may unfortunately remain trapped in the legacy system, leading to a new elite class of Bitcoiners while the rest "own nothing and be happy". We cover the transition to a multipolar world, the importance of privacy technology like Fedimint, and why self-custody is the only way to truly exit the system.

                              Key Topics Discussed:

                              • The Collapse of the West: How the financial industrial complex has captured the West and is strategically weakening the dollar to transition into a multipolar world,.
                              • Abundance vs. Dystopia: Jeff explains why the natural state of the free market is deflation and why the current inflationary system creates chaos,.
                              • The "Escape Hatch" Theory: Why I believe 95% of people won't take agency, leaving only a minority to experience the freedom Bitcoin provides,.
                              • Privacy & Technology: The critical need for privacy layers (like Fedimint and Chaumian eCash) to prevent Bitcoin from being co-opted by the surveillance state,.
                              • The Investment Landscape: The risks of venture capital in a Bitcoin world and why providing value in the free market is the only way to outperform Bitcoin,.

                                "The entire world is transitioning to this ginormous global surveillance state... there's going to be a new elite class of Bitcoiners, and the rest are going to own nothing and be happy." — Simon Dixon,

                                "A monetary system based on inflation, which is theft... can't exist with the free market... One has to kill the other." — Jeff Booth
