Hey-Hey, Bitcoin Wealth Builder! Welcome to Episode 101 of BitcoinHardTalk! Today, we are running a slightly different format. As I have been travelling, I will not be covering the usual segments: This Week in Bitcoin, This Week in Macro, and This Week in Geopolitics. I didn't want to leave you without anything, so I'm bringing you an explosive, pre-recorded, two-part interview I did with Archie from Bitcoin Archives.  On top of the interview, I kick things off with an exclusive analysis I recorded yesterday for this live broadcast—breaking down the major macro and geopolitical events that unfolded this week. This week, we are diving into Part 1, where we expose BlackRock’s evil plan to steal your Bitcoin. What's worse is that I believe 99% of people are falling for this plan, and even Bitcoin holders aren't safe. I'll be back with the usual format soon.   What we’ll cover in this special episode The 5-Year Race: We discuss where we are on the Bitcoin timeframe, which I categorize as the Wall Street attack phase. There will never be another five years like the five years ahead for accumulating Bitcoin. The Two-Tiered Bitcoin World: We discuss the difference between Bitcoin held in Wall Street custody (e.g., ETFs, pensions, loans) and Bitcoin held in self-custody. The Celsius Beta Test: I share insights from two years of working on the Celsius bankruptcy, which was the beta test for Wall Street. This shows the exact type of strategies the financial industrial complex will use as they build the Bitcoin industrial complex. The Centralization Trap: We go deep into Operation Chokepoint 2.0, which I believe was a deep state reset of the ecosystem designed to approve the BlackRock ETF to get clients in and reset the ecosystem by taking down crypto-friendly banks. Wall Street's Weapons: Examining how Bitcoin ETFs are going to be used as a financial weapon of mass destruction, and analyzing whether public companies, like MicroStrategy, are an asset of Wall Street. A Financialized Future: What the world will look like in the Wall Street tokenized, financialized, securitized, stablecoin world that the Trump administration is delivering. Developing Conviction: Learn about my own journey—including my experience trying to build a full reserve bank, how Johnny Bitcoin and Amir Taki brought me into Bitcoin, and how I developed my early conviction.   Protecting yourself after the analysis The discussion offers actionable insights on how to protect yourself: Why understanding Proof of Work allows you to navigate the institutional takeover and margin calls. The importance of accumulating wealth and knowing how to protect yourself against the dropping standards of living. I want you to be on the right side of this change so that we can make this transition with peace, love, and unity.   Peace!   Simon Dixon Bitcoin OG | Investor | Geo-Political & Financial Analyst
