February 03Episode 122 - The Truth About Epstein & Bitcoin — From One of Bitcoin’s Earliest Investors | Simon Dixon
Was the Jeffrey Epstein network used to compromise the early development of Bitcoin? In this interview with BTC Sessions, I break down the 3 million newly unsealed Epstein documents to separate fact from fiction.
We move past the headlines to understand how the "Financial Industrial Complex" operates like a mafia—using finance, blackmail, and influence to ensure that once you are in the network, you can never leave.
We are witnessing a "mafia" style network exposing its assets. In this video, I analyze the alleged connections between Epstein’s operations and major industry players, including the funding rounds for Blockstream and Coinbase, and the involvement of figures like Brock Pierce and Adam Back.
This is not just about scandal; it is about understanding the attack vectors used to fracture the Bitcoin community—from the Block Size Wars to the push for surveillance-heavy stablecoins and CBDCs.
👇 IN THIS VIDEO WE COVER:
The "Epstein Operation": Why Epstein wasn't just a "rogue billionaire" but a mechanism of control designed to compromise powerful figures.
VC Infiltration: How venture capital entered the space in 2014, and my analysis of the specific investment rounds for Blockstream and Coinbase found in the files.
The Attack Vectors: How "divide and conquer" strategies, such as the Bitcoin Cash hard fork and the rise of stablecoins like Tether, align with intelligence operations.
Specific Figures: A look at the public documents regarding Adam Back, Brock Pierce, Peter Thiel, and their alleged intersections with this network.
The "Surveillance State": Why the push for "Crypto" and CBDCs is a trap, and why Bitcoin remains the only exit.

January 30SimonDixonHardTalk LIVE | Jan 30, 2026 - Weekly Bitcoin, Macro & Geopolitics (Full Replay)
The global conflict isn’t only being fought with weapons. It’s being fought with reserves, collateral, sanctions, liquidity — and the future of money itself. Gold is no longer just a hedge. It’s increasingly behaving like a geopolitical weapon — and it may now be breaking the dollar’s dominance.
In this full LIVE session, Simon covers all three segments below. (This broadcast will later be released as 3 separate parts for easier viewing.)
Part 1: Gold Stablecoins, Bitcoin & Life After the Dollar Treasury-backed digital dollars vs gold-backed tokenization — and why Bitcoin emerges as the bearer asset when paper markets fail.
Part 2: The Market Impact of Gold Ending Dollar Dominance What happens when gold replaces Treasuries in reserves? Global repricing, capital rotation, and volatility accelerating consolidation.
Part 3: The Geopolitical Fallout of Gold Ending Dollar Hegemony Gold doesn’t just shift markets — it reshapes alliances, pegs, and power across an emerging multipolar order. This is not just a market shift. It’s a power shift.

January 30 Episode 121 - The Geopolitical Fallout of Gold Ending Dollar Hegemony & Iran War Update
The global conflict isn’t only being fought with weapons. It’s being fought with reserves, collateral, sanctions, liquidity — and the future of money itself. Gold is no longer just a hedge. It’s increasingly behaving like a geopolitical weapon — and it may now be breaking the dollar’s dominance.
This is part 3 of 3 taken from Simon Dixon HardTalk LIVE 30th January 2026. Gold Just Broke the Dollar — The New World Order Has Begun | SimonDixonHardTalk LIVE Part Three: The Geopolitical Fallout of Gold Ending Dollar Hegemony
When gold breaks the dollar, it breaks pegs, power blocs, and the old post-war order. We’ll zoom into Iran and the broader Middle East transition — where regime change becomes staged, financialised, and negotiated, and “war” increasingly functions as theatre for managed outcomes in a multipolar world.

Gold is surging while the dollar weakens — and the market structure is shifting with it. We’ll cover what it means when gold overtakes U.S. Treasuries in reserves, why international markets are attracting the inflows, and how volatility is being used to drive a new cycle of distressed acquisitions, M&A, and systemic asset rotation.

Gold Just Broke the Dollar — The New World Order Has Begun | SimonDixonHardTalk LIVE
Part One: Gold Stablecoins, Bitcoin & Life After the Dollar
We’ll break down the Stablecoin endgame — where U.S.-compliant, Treasury-backed “surveillance coins” expand inside U.S. regulation, while gold-backed tokens grow outside it. We’ll connect that to Tether’s strategy, the rise of tokenized gold, and why Bitcoin becomes the self-custody escape hatch when paper markets get clunky or break.

January 30Episode 118 - The Pentagon’s Missing Trillions, 9/11 & The Asset Stripping of Europe (Part 2 of 4)
If Part 1 was about the money, Part 2 is about the dark power structures that weaponise it. In this continuation of Doc Malik’s epic sit-down with Simon Dixon, the conversation shifts from the mechanics of banking to the "Financial Industrial Complex"—the global network that uses debt, war, and intelligence operations to strip assets from nations and individuals.
Simon argues that the "Deep State" is simply a subdivision of this complex, designed to enforce corporate interests rather than national security.
In this episode, we cover:
The Black Ops Budget: We discuss the $2.3 trillion that "disappeared" from the Pentagon budget the day before 9/11, and how the specific offices auditing this money were destroyed the next day.
⁠Funding Both Sides of War: The shocking history of the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) during WWII. Simon details how the central banking ledger system allowed warring nations to maintain financial continuity, effectively allowing the Allied and Axis powers to bank with the same institution while soldiers fought on the battlefield.
The Origins of the CIA: A controversial look at how post-WWII intelligence agencies were formed by merging various powerful networks—including elements of the mob, foreign intelligence, and former enemy factions—to create a covert infrastructure for enforcing global resource extraction.
The War on Europe: Simon presents the theory that the conflict in Ukraine is a strategic financial war designed to sever German-Russian energy ties, deindustrialise Germany, and asset-strip the European Union to prop up the US Dollar.
The "Epstein" Intelligence Operation: Why the Jeffrey Epstein scandal shouldn't be viewed just as a case of individual perversion, but as a sophisticated blackmail sting operation run by intelligence agencies to compromise powerful figures and enforce control.
The Rise of Sovereign Wealth: How nations like Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the BRICS alliance are playing a long game to buy up Western assets and decouple from the American empire.
ABOUT THIS CONVERSATION: This is Part 2 of a 4-part series. The original conversation with Simon Dixon was an epic four-hour deep dive that we have split up to ensure we cover every detail of how the world really works.

January 29 Episode 117 - The Banking Ponzi Scheme, Bitcoin’s CIA Origins & The Trap of Debt (Part 1 of 4)
Recording date: 19th January 2026
Duration: 56mins
Is the money in your bank account actually yours — or is it just an IOU fuelling a global system of debt and control?
In this explosive Part 1 of a 4-part series from a 4-hour conversation, Doc Malik sits down with former banker and Bitcoin veteran Simon Dixon to expose what he calls the modern financial Ponzi scheme.
Doc begins with healthy scepticism, questioning whether cryptocurrency is just another “croc” sold to the masses. But Simon argues that once you strip away the scams and speculation, self-custody Bitcoin remains the only asset that allows you to truly own your wealth, transact without permission, and opt out of a failing legacy system.
Together, they break down how the banking system is built on endless IOUs, expanding debt, and structural dependency — a trap that keeps individuals, institutions, and entire nations locked into a cycle that cannot sustain itself.
They also begin exploring one of the most controversial questions surrounding Bitcoin: Was it purely a tool of liberation — or do its origins trace closer to intelligence agencies and state power than most people realise?
This is only the beginning.

Podcast Title
The Board of Peace: America’s Retreat & Middle East Reset | Simon Dixon

Podcast Title
Mark Carney & The Asset Stripping of Europe & Canada | Simon Dixon

In this episode:
The Great Deception: Why global leaders are finally admitting international law is a fiction and how the "Financial Industrial Complex" is replacing the old system.
The Greenland Grab: Why the sudden fight for the Arctic is actually a strategic play for rare earth minerals and new shipping routes to challenge China.

The Illusion of Conflict: Why the tension between Trump and European leaders is manufactured to justify massive defense spending and asset stripping.

WEF 2026: Musk, Fink & The Hidden AI Energy War | Simon Dixon
Davos is a performance, but the real agenda is in the signals. In this episode, Simon Dixon decodes the critical WEF 2026 interview between Elon Musk and Larry Fink to reveal the "proof of weapons" network's roadmap for the future.
In this episode:
The AI Energy Crisis: Why the race for AI is actually a "bare-knuckle brawl for energy" and how the West is regulating itself into obsolescence while China builds 1,000GW of solar per year.
The Pivot to Space: Musk’s audacious plan to bypass terrestrial tariffs and thermodynamics by moving data centers off-planet.
Musk vs. The FIC: Why Elon isn’t the mastermind, but "management"—and how his access to capital depends on serving the Financial Industrial Complex's surveillance agenda.
Transnational Capital: How a borderless alliance of finance, Gulf sovereign wealth, and Chinese manufacturing is superseding national governments to control the future. Forget the speeches. Follow the money.
