In this episode of the Westminster Podcast, Brandon McLean Smith speaks with Jordan Bush, executive director of Thank God for Bitcoin and they explore the practical and theological implications of Bitcoin as a tool for missions and ministries in places cut off from traditional banking, how it can protect individuals and organizations from financial censorship, and the dangers posed by central bank digital currencies. Jordan ties monetary questions to a broader Reformed framework—invoking “sowing and reaping,” the kingdom's economics, and the need for Christian economists—while offering concrete steps churches can take (accepting crypto donations, educating congregations, building endowments) to steward resources responsibly in an unstable monetary age. If you enjoyed this conversation and were inspired by it to consider ways to utilize Bitcoin and other Crypto currencies to support the work of the Gospel I am glad to announce that Westminster now accepts Bitcoin, Ethereum, and most major coins and tokens. This is a great way to donate and support Westminster's mission to train specialists in the Bible to proclaim the whole counsel of God for Christ and His Global church.

In this episode of Crazy Wisdom, Stewart Alsop sits down with Javier Villar for a wide-ranging conversation on Argentina, Spain's political drift, fiat money, the psychology of crowds, Dr. Hawkins' levels of consciousness, the role of elites and intelligence agencies, spiritual warfare, and whether modern technology accelerates human freedom or deepens control. Javier speaks candidly about symbolism, the erosion of sovereignty, the pandemic as a global turning point, and how spiritual frameworks help make sense of political theater.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:00 Stewart and Javier compare Argentina and Spain, touching on cultural similarity, Argentinization, socialism, and the slow collapse of fiat systems.05:00 They explore Brave New World conditioning, narrative control, traditional Catholics, and the psychology of obedience in the pandemic.10:00 Discussion shifts to Milei, political theater, BlackRock, Vanguard, mega-corporations, and the illusion of national sovereignty under a single world system.15:00 Stewart and Javier examine China, communism, spiritual structures, karmic cycles, Kali Yuga, and the idea of governments at war with their own people.20:00 They move into Revelations, Hawkins, calibrations, conspiracy labels, satanic vs luciferic energy, and elites using prophecy as a script.25:00 Conversation deepens into ego vs Satan, entrapment networks, Epstein Island, Crowley, Masonic symbolism, and spiritual corruption.30:00 They question secularism, the state as religion, technology, AI, surveillance, freedom of currency, and the creative potential suppressed by government.35:00 Ending with Bitcoin, stablecoins, network-state ideas, U.S. power, Argentina's contradictions, and whether optimism is still warranted.Key InsightsArgentina and Spain mirror each other's decline. Javier argues that despite surface differences, both countries share cultural instincts that make them vulnerable to the same political traps—particularly the expansion of the welfare state, the erosion of sovereignty, and what he calls the “Argentinization” of Spain. This framing turns the episode into a study of how nations repeat each other's mistakes.Fiat systems create a controlled collapse rather than a dramatic one. Instead of Weimar-style hyperinflation, Javier claims modern monetary structures are engineered to “boil the frog,” preserving the illusion of stability while deepening dependency on the state. This slow-motion decline is portrayed as intentional rather than accidental.Political leaders are actors within a single global architecture of power. Whether discussing Milei, Trump, or European politics, Javier maintains that governments answer to mega-corporations and intelligence networks, not citizens. National politics, in this view, is theater masking a unified global managerial order.Pandemic behavior revealed mass submission to narrative control. Stewart and Javier revisit 2020 as a psychological milestone, arguing that obedience to lockdowns and mandates exposed a widespread inability to question authority. For Javier, this moment clarified who can perceive truth and who collapses under social pressure.Hawkins' map of consciousness shapes their interpretation of good and evil. They use the 200 threshold to distinguish animal from angelic behavior, exploring whether ego itself is the “Satanic” force. Javier suggests Hawkins avoided explicit talk of Satan because most people cannot face metaphysical truth without defensiveness.Elites rely on symbolic power, secrecy, and coercion. References to Epstein Island, Masonic symbolism, and intelligence-agency entrapment support Javier's view that modern control systems operate through sexual blackmail, ritual imagery, and hidden hierarchies rather than democratic mechanisms.Technology's promise is strangled by state power. While Stewart sees potential in AI, crypto, and network-state ideas, Javier insists innovation is meaningless without freedom of currency, association, and exchange. Technology is neutral, he argues, but becomes a tool of surveillance and control when monopolized by governments.

Peter Schiff says this week marks a major unraveling of risk assets. After Nvidia's earnings spark a brief bump, tech, AI, and especially crypto collapse. Bitcoin plunges and crypto-linked stocks get wiped out, showing the bubble is deflating fast unless Trump bizarrely bails it out. Gold and silver stay firmly above key levels ($4,000 and $50) despite volatility, proving the bull market is intact. Schiff highlights Asian buying, a weakening yen carry trade, and the possibility of Japan dumping Treasuries—adding pressure to U.S. markets. He argues 2026 will bring huge institutional and retail rotation into gold, with central banks already leading the way. With crypto and tech breaking down, Schiff says the only bull market still standing is precious metals, and the move is just beginning.

The Federal Reserve claims quantitative easing is over — but this week proved otherwise. In this SchiffGold Friday Market Wrap, Peter Schiff explains why the Fed's new Treasury-buying program is QE in everything but name, and why this shift is already sending gold and silver sharply higher. Despite rate cuts, long-term yields are rising, the dollar is weakening, and inflation pressures are building again. Gold closed the week above $4,300, silver surged past $60, and mining stocks are now confirming the bull market. Meanwhile, Bitcoin continues to lag as real money takes center stage. Peter breaks down: Why the Fed had to restart QE Why bond yields are rising anyway Why inflation is not going back to 2% Why gold, silver, and miners are leading the next leg higher Why waiting for “the dip” is a mistake If you're still sitting on the sidelines, this is the week that changed everything.

But as the world moves toward 24/7, instant global markets, Robinhood is preparing to rebuild the system on blockchain rails. In this exclusive interview, Robinhood Crypto's General Manager, Johann Kerbrat, joins Scott Melker to discuss how tokenization, stablecoins, and instant settlement will reshape global finance. Johann breaks down how Robinhood is integrating crypto and equities, what the Clarity Act could mean for builders and investors, and why he believes the four-year Bitcoin cycle is dead. From the GameStop fiasco to the rise of stablecoins and prediction markets, this conversation reveals how Wall Street and DeFi are finally converging.

We discuss how Artificial Intelligence is constantly shaping our world, and what will a world with Netflix acquiring Warner Bros. look like? This has been a year filled with ups and downs, some inspiring stories, as well as some defeating ones. A year where resilience became a n necessity in the face of more mass layoffs from companies who were constantly turning profit. We've seen gold and Bitcoin hit all time highs, and PlayStation announcing the arrival of the original Xbox original, Halo, to the platform in 2026. As we mourn the deceased, we celebrate our victories. 2026 is upon us, and as the saying goes: We go again. Connect with us:@backyardconversations @iGbenga @TemiDavis @dpencilpusher

Author Michael Lewis joins Sam to celebrate the 15th anniversary of The Big Short and talk about if we’ve learned any lessons since its publication—like why we so often conflate wealth and wisdom. They discuss why they don’t think anyone would actually prefer to go back 30 or 60 years if they had the choice, why cutting interest rates mean house prices will go up, and why Michael wouldn’t bet against Bitcoin but Sam refuses to take most financial risks. They talk about the tragedy of the CPFB being gutted, why Americans treat the government like the enemy, and if there’s a Canadian “deep state.” Keep up with Samantha Bee @realsambee on Instagram and X.

This may be the most important episode we have released all year. If you care about where your money, career, and freedom are headed over the next 10 years, this episode will fundamentally shift how you think. We sit down with Robert Croak to map out what the road to 2035 actually looks like and how everyday investors can position themselves to win while most people fall behind. This conversation is about seeing around corners. We break down where the world is going before it becomes obvious, from AI and energy to Bitcoin, tokenization, real estate, and the silent wealth transfer already underway. Robert explains why thinking in headlines keeps people broke and why the biggest wins come from simple systems, long-term conviction, and disciplined diversification. We talk about how to build a portfolio that survives volatility, why most investors sabotage compounding by chasing fast money, and how to approach Bitcoin, stocks, crypto, and real estate as a cohesive strategy instead of disconnected bets. We also explore how access to investing is changing, why opportunity is becoming more democratized, and what that means for people who are willing to learn and act early. This episode is not about predictions or hype. It is about building a framework that works through uncertainty and puts you in position for the next decade of growth. If you want clarity, confidence, and a blueprint for navigating what comes next, this is one you do not want to miss. Book your mentorship discovery call with Cory RESOURCES

At India Blockchain Week, an NPCI consultant shared that the digital rupee can be restricted for specific purposes, approved merchants, and particular locations. For example, recent transfers of the programmable CBDC for farmers and livestock owners limited purchases to “approved inputs” with geographic tagging enabled. The CBDC is compatible with India's state-run payment system, known as Unified Payment Interface (UPI), enabling users to pay with the digital rupee by scanning existing UPI QR codes.

What if Bitcoin does not fail because of governments, banks, or the IMF, but because Bitcoiners themselves refuse to actually use it? In this episode, Mike sits down with Isabella Santos in El Salvador to confront one of the most uncomfortable questions in Bitcoin today. Is most “Bitcoin adoption” actually fake if merchants never see anyone spend sats?Isabella shares the unfiltered story of how BTC Isla in Isla Mujeres went from a Twitter idea to a true Bitcoin circular economy with a Bitcoin cafe, a Bitcoin gym, and over 30 local merchants now accepting sats. She explains why trying to orange pill people with education alone did not work, and why building real businesses that accept Bitcoin as sound money was the only way to earn real trust inside the community.In one of the most extreme Bitcoin experiments you will hear this year, Isabella Santos lived for 21 days using only Bitcoin, earning sats through physical jobs like cleaning toilets, selling churros, and making tacos. No fiat safety net. No savings bailout. Just proof that a circular economy either works in real life, or it does not exist at all.The conversation then turns toward a side of Bitcoin many people avoid. Isabella openly calls out Bitcoin maxis who refuse to spend sats, the rise of ETFs that distract from sound money, and the uncomfortable truth that Bitcoin mining hardware is already highly centralized in only a few manufacturers. Her warning is simple and unsettling. Bitcoin does not win automatically. It only works if people fight for it.They close with the human side of adoption through the Bitcoin Fit Games, where fitness, scavenger hunts, and sats came together to support the very merchants who took the first risk on Bitcoin. From helping feed a family in crisis to building a wellness hub with a gym, recovery center, and café, Isabella Santos shows what Bitcoin looks like when it leaves Twitter and enters real life.—Bitcoin Beach teamConnect and Learn more about Isabella Santos:X: https://x.com/BTCIsla X: https://x.com/isabellasg3 YT: https://www.youtube.com/@btcisla Support the project through Geyser Fund: https://geyser.fund/project/btcisla https://www.youtube.com/@getbasedtvSupport and follow Bitcoin Beach:X: https://www.twitter.com/BitcoinBeach IG: https://www.instagram.com/bitcoinbeach_sv TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@livefrombitcoinbeach Web: https://www.bitcoinbeach.com Browse through this quick guide to learn more about the episode:0:00 Intro1:25 Is El Salvador really welcoming Bitcoiners at the airport with a “Welcome to Bitcoin Country” sign?4:49 What is BTC Isla and how does it work?

He shares his journey from early Bitcoin interest to becoming more coin-agnostic due to Bitcoin's scalability and privacy limitations. Burkett explains how MWEB provides basic privacy features, such as hidden transaction amounts and no address reuse, but clarifies that it doesn't offer the same unlinkability as Monero. He also discusses MWEB's extension block structure, adoption challenges, and the future of privacy coins, including potential atomic swaps between MWEB and Monero.

In this episode, eco & Tyler welcome back Skot who was at the African Bitcoin Conference, this year hosted in Mauritius, where he spoke on open-source Bitcoin mining. We swap travel tales (including Scott's chaotic Paris layover) and impressions of Mauritius, the conference venue, and side events focused on Bitcoin education. We dig into mining headlines: Bitdeer's missed ASIC roadmap and investor lawsuit, Bitmain's history (Antbleed) and why open-source mining matters, and MicroBT's M70-series lineup pushing industrial-scale, three-phase miners. Skot explains the theory behind Bitdeer's hyped “adiabatic charge recovery logic,” why it's hard to scale, and how thermal and power density realities define miner design. We go deep on open hardware and firmware progress: Braiins' open control board, Secure Boot obstacles, and Mujina's modular path to safe, customizable, dev-fee-free mining; plus Skot's BitCrain control board concept for USB‑controlled fleets. We share shop-floor lessons building AddIt boards and Ember One prototypes (solder paste, tombstoning, reflow profiles) and celebrate practical innovation like Gridless's open-source JuaKali direct-DC solar mining kit. On home-mining UX, Tyler demos new Home Assistant integrations for Canaan Avalons and WhatsMiner, and we preview Hydra Pool deployments (Grafana/Prometheus dashboards) for the upcoming Telehash. Finally, we update the community on the Samourai Wallet case: Keonne's facility designation, the continuing push for a presidential pardon, and how to support via petition and donations. #PardonSamourai.

Blockchain currency unfurls here like a hidden root system, threading through the cracks of the old order with a quiet, stubborn intelligence. Brandon Quittem walks us into that underground, where mycelial networks and decentralized ledgers start to align in unexpected ways. In his telling, money is something that grows, adapts, and remembers, shaped by the hands and hopes of the people who hold it. Ultimately, the boundary between ecology and economy feels thin enough to step through.Part 1: https://youtu.be/CG7msC0Rv5MPATREON https://www.patreon.com/c/demystifysciPARADIGM DRIFThttps://demystifysci.com/paradigm-drift-showHOMEBREW MUSIC - Check out our new album!Hard Copies (Vinyl): FREE SHIPPING https://demystifysci-shop.fourthwall.com/products/vinyl-lp-secretary-of-nature-everything-is-so-good-hereStreaming:https://secretaryofnature.bandcamp.com/album/everything-is-so-good-here00:00 Go! 00:03:53 Why Can't I Spend Bitcoin at the Grocery Store?00:10:03 Bitcoin in Developing Nations vs. The West00:13:26 The "Criminal Use" Argument & Drug Laws00:15:56 Anonymity, Scams, and Lack of Recourse00:20:20 Exchange Risks & Custody (Not Your Keys, Not Your Coins)00:22:50 How to Start: "Get Off Zero" & Multisig Security00:26:18 The $800 Million Hard Drive in a Landfill00:28:22 Bitcoin vs. "Shitcoins" & Altcoins00:29:13 Handling Volatility & Dollar Cost Averaging00:32:27 Why Bitcoin is Unique: Outsourcing Trust to Math00:35:21 Is Bitcoin Just a "Faith-Based" Asset?00:40:49 Why Are Bitcoiners So Intense?

The labor market has swung from the Great Resignation to “job hugging,” where workers cling to their roles out of fear of AI-driven layoffs and inflation, crushing engagement and accelerating burnout. At the same time, OpenAI is accused of suppressing research showing job losses, ignoring internal warnings about chatbot mental health risks, and bleeding safety staff, while state Attorneys General fire off an opening salvo likening unchecked AI harms to an opioid crisis-in-the-making.The AI boom is now colliding with reality. Environmental groups want a halt on new datacenters as power prices spike, and the industry is starting to look financially radioactive, with opaque financing schemes, hidden debt, and trillion-dollar infrastructure bets that could vaporize household wealth. Regulators are pushing back too: the EU is fining X, probing Google over training data, and floating a statutory licensing scheme for AI scraping, while Disney dives in with a billion-dollar bet on “responsible” AI storytelling that mostly translates to fewer humans on payroll.Meanwhile, everyday tech dystopia rolls on. Uber is monetizing your movement data, Instacart is quietly price-discriminating groceries, Waymo is spinning a robotaxi birth as a feel-good story, and crypto fraud finally earns real prison time. Add in AI-generated marketing slop, government sites hijacked by SEO porn, billion-dollar festival scams resurrected, and Congress kneecapping right-to-repair, and the takeaway is simple: the machines are hungry, the adults are absent, and the vibes are aggressively bad.Sponsors:CleanMyMac - Get Tidy Today!

QE is coming back — and President Trump isn't happy about Peter Schiff saying it out loud. After Schiff's Fox interview, Trump fired off a Truth Social post attacking him… but the math doesn't lie. Washington's spending is exploding, deficits are surging, and the Fed has no way to finance it without returning to quantitative easing.This episode is sponsored by NetSuite. Download the free “demystifying ai” at https://netsuite.com/goldIn this episode of The Peter Schiff Show, host Peter Schiff delves into the resurgence of Quantitative Easing (QE) and its implications for the economy. He argues that the return of QE is a clear signal that politicians, particularly Trump, are unable to fund their ambitious agendas without relying on monetary expansion. As markets begin to react to this reality, Schiff highlights the unraveling of the "Everything Bubble" and the inevitable departure from affordability that follows. With keen insight, he exposes the truths that politicians refuse to acknowledge, emphasizing that the consequences of QE will impact everyday Americans. Tune in as Schiff navigates these critical issues, offering a perspective rooted in economic reality.Chapters:00:00 Introduction and Opening Remarks00:55 Federal Reserve's Recent Actions03:23 Quantitative Easing Explained08:16 Market Reactions and Predictions12:11 Impact on Inflation and Employment30:45 Tariffs and Their Economic Impact39:41 Trump's Role in Inflation40:18 Biden's Inflation Policies41:29 Trump's Economic Policies Critiqued41:46 Fox News Interview Fallout46:20 Housing Market Reset48:10 Trump's Reaction on Social Media55:18 Debate Challenge to Trump56:09 Bitcoin vs. Tokenized Gold Debate01:09:42 Investment Advice and PredictionsFollow @peterschiffX: https://twitter.com/peterschiffInstagram: https://instagram.com/peterschiffTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@peterschiffofficialFacebook: https://facebook.com/peterschiffSign up for Peter's most valuable insights at https://schiffsovereign.comSchiff Gold News: https://www.schiffgold.com/newsFree Reports & Market Updates: https://www.europac.comBook Store: https://schiffradio.com/books#QE #QuantitativeEasing #EconomicImpactOur Sponsors:* Check out FRE and use my code LISTEN20 for a great deal: https://frepouch.com* Check out Infinite Epigenetics: https://infiniteepigenetics.com/GOLD* Check out Justin Wine and use my code SCHIFF20 for a great deal: https://www.justinwine.comPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Stefan Molyneux explores philosophical questions in this episode, beginning with the issue of creating a universal moral theory that lacks operational tests. He examines Universally Preferable Behavior (UPB) as an alternative to flawed moral frameworks that encourage violence.He points out the value of keeping moral philosophy simple, particularly when teaching children, and questions the vagueness often found in ethical debates. Molyneux covers the challenges of family relationships, including co-parenting with someone who has borderline personality disorder, and stresses the role of clear communication.He talks about personal responsibility in the context of social structures, arguing for the recognition of free will in making moral choices. The episode ends with a look at men's responsibilities in building positive family interactions through generosity and kindness, combining philosophical ideas with everyday advice on morality and relationships.Questions:"Serious question:"Can a moral theory qualify as ‘universal' if it cannot be expressed as a fully operational test, one that produces the same judgment regardless of who performs it, where, or under what incentives?"In other words:"Is UPB decidable?"If so, what is the operational test by which two independent observers, following your method step-by-step, would reach the same moral verdict in every case, including disagreements about property, reciprocity, and externalities?""How to coparent with a woman with intense and violent BPD? Young kids involved.""Why does a man who hates academia have 'MA in history' in his Twitter description?""This I think is the deepest question possible or I mean all questions will eventually lead to this one:"Why should anything exist?""Is morality objective or subjective?"How do we determine objective morality?""If a woman was raped in the past, should she be honest with the man she's dating ?""Is a pre-emptive strike, such as the one in the movie Minority Report; convicting a man or woman of a future crime; is that moral?""I got a question from a vegan that asked:"Why should the question if it's moral or immoral to kill an animal, depend on the animals capacity to understand morality and not just our own ? "As someone that eats meat, I didn‘t really know a good answer.""Should UPB replace religion? "Would it be a religion for everyone or just libertarians?""Many men work a lot of hours or away from home. Is it 'fair' for them to not spend as much time as possible with their kids when they can be home, to make sure they are being raised properly by their wife? (not all hobbies, unnecessary projects, sports with buddies in the man cave, etc 'because I work so much and kids are the mom's job!')"Why do some men leave all the parenting to the mother, then complain that the kids don't listen and turned out bad. Seems like many men relinquish their parenting responsibilities and blame the women. "I understand working takes you away (I was working single mom over a decade) but when I wasn't at work, my life was making sure kids had everything and I taught them above their grade level anything I though they could understand. PS I'm not talking about sharing housework.""Do we have free will, or is everything determined?""What was it that made you realize your wife was the one?"SUBSCRIBE TO ME ON X! https://x.com/StefanMolyneuxFollow me on Youtube! https://www.youtube.com/@freedomain1GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025
