The wealthy are sitting ducks. Steven Franssen says most of them do not even realize it.

Steven Franssen returns for his third appearance on the show to break down why the newly minted decamillionaires of the last decade have no sound economic footing, why the political chaos in Washington is quietly setting up the largest wealth transfer in modern history, and why $1 million Bitcoin might be the trap that costs complacent wealthy people everything.

Here is what we cover:

• The Coldcard hack and why the only people protected were the ones who used the randomizing function nobody thought they needed

• The ethics of white hat hackers sweeping vulnerable funds and what happens to victims now

• Bitcoin governance and consensus explained through the lens of a limited state and voluntary reputation-based society

• The PPP loan fraud nobody has to pay back and what it reveals about who the rules actually apply to

• Why the great mistake wealthy people are making right now is taking the current situation for granted

• Trump's broken promises beyond Ross Ulbricht, the meme coin controversy, and why the Iran war directly suppressed the Bitcoin price

• Why Scott Bessent's oil price magic trick has held so far and how long that can possibly last

• The generational wealth transfer nobody is talking about and why BlackRock is positioned to inherit what the boomers built

• The DSA, downwardly mobile elites, and why hardline ideologies are gaining ground on both extremes

• Flock cameras, the surveillance state, and the first real grassroots pushback against it in years

• Why the 2026 midterms could hand Bitcoin its biggest bull case yet regardless of who wins

• Why Bitcoin becomes more important, not less, as trillions get printed into the AI trade

• Closing thoughts on individual change, moral progress, and where Steven finds hope right now
