  • Where I Stand on BIP-110: The Battle for Bitcoin Nobody Wants to Name

    This is Part One of Simon Dixon Hard Talk LIVE (25 July 2026)  

    Hey hey sovereign wealth builders,  

    It has been an incredibly fast-moving week across the Bitcoin landscape. While I am currently deep in book-writing mode for my upcoming book. I’m working on chapters regarding the historical infiltration attempts around sovereign assets, the global chess board continues to shift rapidly.

    In my view, we are witnessing a coordinated effort by the financial industrial complex (the FIC) to institutionalize and capture the Bitcoin ecosystem.  From sudden institutional delays to high-profile executive shakeups and corporate consortia forming under the guise of security, the traditional financial architecture is aggressively positioning itself. This is not a time for panic, but a time for high-signal, sovereign analysis.  

    Today’s Simon Dixon Hard Talk LIVE episode and the interview premiere immediately following it, are designed to give you the perspective needed to navigate this transition.  

    PART ONE: Where I Stand on BIP-110: The Battle for Bitcoin Nobody Wants to Name

    We are currently in the middle of what I believe is Bitcoin's next major consensus debate, fueled by the ongoing technical and philosophical "spam war". Much like the block size wars of 2017, this debate is driving deep tribalism and division within the developer and mining communities.  

    In this live segment, I will explain exactly where I stand on BIP-110 and why I am actively supporting it on my own node.

    In my view, we are seeing a manufactured "strategy of tension"—reminiscent of historical intelligence frameworks like Operation Gladio—designed to divide the community and drive users away from self-custody and into corporate wrappers.  

    I will break down the game theory, the technical escalation ladder, and my specific stop-point on that ladder. This is a critical discussion on why holding your own keys and running your own node remains Bitcoin's absolute ultimate defense against institutional capture.

    The Battle for Bitcoin | Simon Dixon Hard Talk LIVE
    PART ONE: Where I Stand on BIP-110: The Battle for Bitcoin Nobody Wants to Name

    (Today's Live Show)

    We are currently in the middle of what I believe is Bitcoin's next major consensus debate, fueled by the ongoing technical and philosophical "spam war". Much like the block size wars of 2017, this debate is driving deep tribalism and division within the developer and mining communities.

    PART TWO: The New World Order Wants To Steal Your Bitcoin | Simon Dixon on New Era Finance Podcast with Michaël van de Poppe

    (Special Premiere Immediately Following the Live Show)

    Immediately after we wrap the live stream, we will transition directly to the premiere of my pre-recorded interview on the New Era Finance Podcast, originally recorded on 24 June 2026.

    We dive deep into how Wall Street utilizes structured derivatives, ETFs, and leverage to manipulate the short-term price of Bitcoin, aiming to strip individuals of their hard assets. We discuss the upcoming Clarity Act, explaining how it acts as a regulatory moat for major banks to issue covert central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) and control the flow of programmable money.

    Finally, we map out the global shifts, including how China is driving open-source AI and how parallel currency networks like Mbridge are being positioned to bypass SWIFT. I outline a practical, multi-jurisdictional sovereign strategy for individuals looking to transition from complete subordination to true financial autonomy.

  • Nothing Has Changed | Simon Dixon Hard Talk LIVE

    Hey hey sovereign wealth builders,

    Tonight on Simon Dixon Hard Talk LIVE, I'll share a brief update on what I believe is really happening beneath the latest Iran headlines, why I continue to follow the money rather than the narrative, and how my book is progressing as I work towards completing all 21 chapters.

    I'll also be premiering my second interview with Dr. Chris Martenson (PhD) on Peak Prosperity. In this two-hour discussion, we explore whether governments are still truly in control, the transition towards a multipolar world, the roles of the FIC, MIC and TIC, and why building sovereignty and local resilience has never been more important.

    Measure your wealth in Bitcoin, stay sovereign, and I'll see you on the livestream.

    Peace,

    Simon Dixon

  • The Answer Took Me 26 Years | Simon Dixon Hard Talk LIVE

    In this shorter, update-focused episode of Simon Dixon Hard Talk LIVE, I share why I have gone into a full writing lockdown to finalise my upcoming book. It has been approximately 26 years since my father lost his pension during the dot-com bust, a defining event that initiated my career-long analysis of monetary systems. 

    In my opinion, traditional political systems in the West do not offer solutions, as political representatives allegedly act primarily on behalf of corporate lobbies rather than the public. I believe that transnational financial networks are attempting to transition the global economy into a highly controlled digital system using central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), artificial intelligence, and social credit mechanisms.

    Because I am prioritising the completion of my book chapters, this broadcast is a brief update rather than a full live analysis. Towards the end of this episode, we have compiled a selection of trailer clips from my recent appearances on external podcasts. 

    These highlights have been pieced together to encourage viewers to catch up on the full discussions and their corresponding blogs, which cover our follow-the-money framework in greater depth. In my view, the most practical approach to navigating these systemic shifts is to focus on personal financial sovereignty—which, in my opinion, is best achieved by practising self-custody of your assets, running a network node, and supporting decentralised community infrastructures.

    • The Government Isn't Out of Control, It's NOT in Control | Simon Dixon on Peak Prosperity w/ Dr. Chris Martenson

      Who actually rules the world if traditional governments are no longer in control?

      I joined Dr Chris Martenson (PhD) on Peak Prosperity for an in-depth, 2-hour and 7-minute discussion, "The Government Isn't Out of Control, It's NOT in Control", recorded on 9 July 2026. In my opinion, we are currently navigating a highly coordinated, managed transition of global empire away from Western dominance and towards a multipolar world order.

      Here is what we cover in this interview:
      • The Privatisation of the State: Why traditional governments are no longer truly in charge, having been asset-stripped and effectively turned into private corporate entities servicing transnational capital.
      • Geopolitical Theater and "Bounded Escalations": How active global conflicts represent, in my opinion, highly managed escalations designed to provide leverage for private corporate interests, renegotiate maritime trade routes, and secure lucrative contracts.
      • The Consolidation of Power (FIC TIC and MIC): How global control is shifting into the hands of three private networks—the Financial Industrial Complex (FIC), the Military Industrial Complex (MIC), and the Technical Industrial Complex (TIC).
      • The Technocratic Control Grid: The mechanics of the transition toward programmable money, Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), and sophisticated algorithms designed to shape public narrative and weaponise speech.
      • Reclaiming Autonomy: The critical importance of stepping back from the algorithmic noise, touching grass, and building local resilience through parallel community supply chains.
      • Why you should watch this interview:

        This discussion is designed to strip back the daily geopolitical headlines and offer a clear, realist macro framework for understanding the structural changes taking place under the hood of the global economy. Rather than leaving you with a sense of despair, we explore how to step back from the weaponised narrative, reclaim your critical thinking, and focus on what is actually within your control. By understanding this macro transition, you can begin to make long-term plans to protect your agency, foster family and spiritual resilience, and build stronger local community connections.

      • Politicians Are “Paid-for-Rent Prostitutes”: The True Mechanics of Power | Simon Dixon on James Delingpole
        Politicians Are "Paid-for-Rent Prostitutes": The True Mechanics of Power | Simon Dixon on The James Delingpole Channel w/ James Delingpole

        On 7 July 2026, I sat down for a 2-hour interview with James Delingpole on The James Delingpole Channel for an episode titled "Politicians Are 'Paid-for-Rent Prostitutes': The True Mechanics of Power". In this discussion, I outline my belief that modern nation-states are allegedly subordinate to the Financial Industrial Complex (FIC), the Military Industrial Complex (MIC), and the rapidly emerging Technical Industrial Complex (TIC). I share my macro-analysis on how this network of institutions allegedly controls governments by socializing economic losses while privatizing the gains through central banks and fiat debt markets. We explore the broader implications of global financial restructuring, including the shifting geopolitical landscape, the engineering of strategic tensions to fund highly profitable "forever wars," and the potential transition toward a technocratic surveillance grid powered by artificial intelligence. James and I also reflect on our shared skepticism of official histories; he discusses his personal epiphany regarding mainstream media corruption, detailing how psychological operations and algorithmic divide-and-conquer tactics are allegedly used to marginalize dissenters and manufacture civil unrest.

        For investors, savers, entrepreneurs, and Bitcoin holders, understanding these hidden structures of power is critical to securing the future of your money. In my opinion, the ultimate defense against a corrupt, surveilled banking system is achieving true financial sovereignty. I detail why I believe Bitcoin was originally designed as a necessary breakaway project to circumvent institutional control, and why Wall Street's push for ETFs is allegedly a deliberate attempt to centralize and paperize the cryptocurrency just as they did with gold. By boycotting mainstream institutional investment vehicles and embracing the self-custody of hard assets outside of the legacy financial system, I believe you can successfully transition from a state of debt-ridden subordination to individual autonomy. This episode provides an authoritative, insight-driven framework for navigating the current economic reset and building generational wealth outside of the complexes' reach.

        James Delingpole is an independent podcaster, author, and former mainstream media journalist. During his career in traditional media, he wrote comment pieces for publications such as the Mail on Sunday and the Telegraph, and held a regular column in The Spectator. He is also the author of the 2012 book Watermelons, which details his skeptical views on man-made climate change and the "climategate" controversy.

        Delingpole later transitioned away from mainstream journalism to establish his own independent media platform. He currently hosts The Delingpod on The James Delingpole Channel, a podcast where he interviews guests on various topics including alternative history, finance, and global power structures.

        Hey hey sovereign wealth builders,

        We are witnessing a profound structural shift where financial and technical power is quietly replacing military force. While the mainstream media keeps your attention locked on geopolitical theatre, the underlying capital flows tell a completely different story. This week, we saw significant developments across the macro landscape, Bitcoin, and global markets that highlight exactly how crises are being weaponised to accelerate the asset-stripping of the legacy system.

         

        PART ONE: Immigration, the Lebanon Conflict & the Tech Crash

        🔗 Immigration, the Lebanon Conflict & the Tech Crash | Simon Dixon Hard Talk LIVE (Part One) https://youtube.com/live/i059WGDlufM?feature=share

        On the surface, equity markets look stable, but beneath the S&P 500 index lies a massive tech and AI bear market. Major leaders like Coinbase, Oracle, and Salesforce are down over 50% from their record highs, and market breadth is rapidly weakening as capital concentrates into fewer hands. In my view, the stock market index is hiding a massive structural correction that most retail investors are completely blind to.

        At the same time, the political class is using immigration as a convenient scapegoat for demographic decline, directing anger sideways rather than upward. The economic reality, as I see it, is that monetary policy and the financialisation of housing have made family formation economically irrational. It is not a migrant crisis; it is a systemic crisis where housing has been turned into a speculative asset class instead of a place to build a future.

        Geopolitically, the Levant is entering a post-proxy era. While headlines warn of a wider Middle Eastern war, the markets tell us otherwise—oil has quietly dropped 13% over the past two weeks. In my view, Lebanon is transitioning from militia politics to state politics as Iranian military funding is replaced by Gulf reconstruction capital. We are seeing a movement being wound down by money and patience, not by open warfare.

         

        PART TWO: The Asset-Stripping Phase | Simon Dixon on GoldRepublic Global with Alexej Jordanov 

        🔗 This Is the Asset-Stripping Phase | Simon Dixon on GoldRepublic Global w/ Alexej Jordanov https://youtu.be/W5XPfd3i5Ws

        Immediately following today's live show, we are premiering an in-depth, pre-recorded interview I did with Alexej Jordanov on GoldRepublic Global. We dive deep into the mechanics of what I call the "Asset-Stripping Phase". I believe the ultimate goal of the Financial Industrial Complex (FIC) is to transition the world into a system where you own nothing, survive on programmable UBI, and remain completely subordinated debt slaves.

        We also expose how Wall Street and the Technical Industrial Complex (TIC) are attempting to capture and centralise Bitcoin. From corporate arbitrage vehicles to paper Bitcoin ETFs and centralised custodians, they want you to treat Bitcoin as a speculative vehicle rather than a tool for sovereignty. In my view, understanding these centralised choke points is critical if you want to protect your wealth over the next decade.

        This is about more than just asset prices; it is about building a boycott vehicle. I will explain exactly why running your own node, practising true self-custody, and using privacy tools are a defence against this emerging global control grid.

         

        Weekly Updates:

        • Tech Under the Hood: The S&P 500 is masking deep weakness; tech leaders Coinbase (-69%), Oracle (-57%), and Salesforce (-57%) are in deep bear markets.
        • US vs. Europe CBDC Split: The US moves to block a government digital dollar, while Europe targets a Digital Euro launch by 2029. Meanwhile, private dollar stablecoins dominate the market with $317B in circulation compared to under $1B for Euro stablecoins.
        • Geopolitics of Finance: Rather than military force, China expands its influence by writing off $50M of Sudan's debt and pledging 200M yuan in grants for energy and water infrastructure.
        • Bitcoin Resilience: Bitcoin continues holding key levels (~$60k) despite stock market drawdowns, proving the market has organic demand beyond corporate balance sheets.

        • From the American Empire to the Technocratic Control Grid | Simon Dixon x Daniel Estulin

          Is democracy real, or is global power being quietly transferred to a privatised transnational elite?

          In this highly anticipated discussion, host Daniel Estulin sits down with macro investor and financial analyst Simon Dixon to dismantle the post-war order and expose what Dixon calls "The Democracy Illusion."

           Recorded on 30 June 2026, this groundbreaking 55-minute episode marks the first-ever interview Simon Dixon has done for Daniel Estulin.

          For decades, we have been taught to view the world through the visible lens of local elections, wars, and daily political drama. In this interview, Daniel Estulin and Simon Dixon move beyond the headlines to examine the deep structural transitions reshaping global civilization. Dixon introduces his unified analytical model linking monetary policy, sovereign debt, AI, and geopolitics to explain how transnational capital is hollowing out traditional nation-states.

          According to Dixon's analysis, we are witnessing the final stages of a historical asset-stripping cycle that has moved from the Dutch and British empires to the hollowing out of the U.S. and European economies. He details how global power has been concentrated across three primary networks: The Financial Industrial Complex (FIC): How global debt markets quietly discipline and subordinate sovereign governments.

          The Technological Industrial Complex (TIC): The integration of AI, data centres, and surveillance platforms to construct a global technocratic control grid.

          The Military Industrial Complex (MIC): How geopolitical conflicts are financialised to drive corporate profits and privatise state-funded technology.

           

          🔑 KEY TOPICS DISCUSSED:

          The "Selected, Not Elected" Reality: In Simon Dixon's opinion, modern politicians function as temporary "battering rams" for lobby groups and private capital rather than representing the public.

          The Dismantling of Europe: Why Dixon believes Europe is undergoing a controlled demolition as capital is systematically transferred into global stock markets.

          Behind the Public Figures: An analysis of the private interests funding and directing prominent public figures, including Donald Trump, Elon Musk, Keir Starmer, JD Vance, and Peter Thiel.

          Geopolitical Realignment: How the rise of multipolarity and partnership with massive sovereign wealth funds in the Middle East and Asia are redefining global trade and financial rails.

          Rapid-Fire Predictions: Simon’s outlook on the future of the US Dollar, the AI bubble, the strategic value of gold, and why he views Bitcoin and self-custody as the ultimate tools for individual sovereignty.

        • Dismantling the US Empire: Capital Flows, Multipolarity, and Pakistan’s Role in West Asia

          Date of interview: 30 June 2026
          Duration: 1h 57m
          Host: Syed Muzamil Hasan Zaidi
          Guest: Simon Dixon
          Podcast Channel / Name: Muzamil Hassan | TBT Podcast

          The global financial order is fracturing, and for nations caught in the crossfire—like Pakistan—understanding transnational capital flows is no longer optional; it is a matter of sovereign survival.

          Following Syed Muzamil Hasan’s Urdu introduction to his local audience, we transition into English for this comprehensive 1 hour 57-minute episode of the TBT Podcast to unpack what is really happening in the global economy. 

          I share my thesis that the world is allegedly transitioning from a US-led unipolar order to a multipolar system managed by the Financial Industrial Complex (FIC), the Technological Industrial Complex (TIC), and the Military Industrial Complex (MIC). For Muzamil’s Pakistani listeners, we dissect how this massive geopolitical restructuring directly impacts their country. 

          Historically subordinated by rigid IMF debt and leveraged by foreign empires for proxy wars, I believe Pakistan is now navigating a crucial pivot between Western fiat dependency, China’s Belt and Road Initiative, and Gulf sovereign wealth. As the Middle East restructures into an eastward-facing "West Asia," we discuss how Pakistan’s most vital leverage—its military and nuclear assets—could allegedly position it at the centre of new sovereign regional defence pacts alongside Turkey, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Iran.

          Beyond regional geopolitics, our dynamic conversation unpacks the broader collapse of fiat currency systems, which I believe operate as debt-driven Ponzi schemes fundamentally designed to extract wealth from everyday citizens. 

          We delve into the fragile US bond market, the eastward migration of physical gold to Shanghai, and why I believe the current AI infrastructure boom is allegedly masking a deeper, highly managed systemic crisis. 

          This transition matters deeply for savers, entrepreneurs, and investors in Pakistan and worldwide who are trying to preserve their wealth against an encroaching global technocratic surveillance state.

        • 🇬🇧 UK Regime Change, Middle Eastern 5D Chess & the Bitcoin Treasury Company Meltdown | Simon Dixon Hard Talk LIVE (Part One)

          Hey hey sovereign wealth builders,

          This week, we have seen trillions of dollars wiped off global markets as a massive liquidity drain takes hold. Bitcoin briefly crashed below $60,000, gold dropped below $4,000, and AI capital raises—like SpaceX's $20 billion debt offering and SK Hynix's $29 billion stock sale—are absorbing the remaining liquidity in the system. At the same time, the Japanese Yen has crashed to its weakest level since 1986, and the UK government is quietly advancing programmable stablecoin regulations and regime changing Kier Starmer while preparing to aggressively tax savers.

          Individually, these headlines might seem unrelated. Together, they tell a single story about liquidity, leverage, and a global transition of power. We are watching the repricing of risk as the global control grid accelerates.

          That is why tonight's episode of Simon Dixon Hard Talk LIVE is titled: 🇬🇧🇮🇱 The UK & Israel Just Got Regime Changed for the AI Era… While Bitcoin Crashes | Simon Dixon Hard Talk LIVE

           

          PART ONE: 🇬🇧 UK Regime Change, Middle Eastern 5D Chess & the Bitcoin Treasury Company Meltdown

          In my view, Britain is entering another managed regime-change phase. The faces change, but the agenda remains. The previous political era represented the Military-Industrial Complex, but I believe the next phase firmly belongs to the Technical-Industrial Complex. Expect a pivot toward AI, digital identity, predictive policing, and programmable money, all funded by the debt architectures of the Financial-Industrial Complex.

          Meanwhile, a massive geopolitical realignment is happening in the Middle East. Based on the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding and recent diplomatic shifts, I believe we are seeing a controlled demolition of the old regional order. The focus appears to be moving away from military proxy warfare and toward GCC-led reconstruction, energy infrastructure, and economic integration, leaving hardline political factions increasingly isolated from the new multipolar architecture.

          Finally, I will break down why Bitcoin is crashing. With U.S. Bitcoin ETFs seeing a record $6.4 billion in outflows over the last 30 days, liquidity is tightening. We will discuss the emerging stress on Bitcoin Treasury Companies and why understanding the difference between owning Bitcoin in self-custody and owning shares in a leveraged financial company is more critical now than ever.
