Bitcoin hit a rare signal this week, dropping to its cheapest level relative to gold in nearly 15 years. Is that a buy signal or something deeper in the macro picture? Ryan and David break down what the BTC–gold anomaly really means, how liquidity, rates, and Trump's surprise Fed Chair pick factor in, and whether the market is entering a shallow cycle instead of a true winter. We also cover Ethereum's Fusaka upgrade, Vitalik's push to bring builders back to L1, Polymarket's mainstream breakout and CNN–Kalshi deal, and Aztec's 16K ETH privacy auction. Plus, the SEC's coming innovation exemption and the growing alliance between Larry Fink and Brian Armstrong. ------
"Our government is very, very corrupt. That's why we're here." In this episode, I chat with Alex McShane, a longtime Bitcoin builder, events producer, and deep thinker on everything from protocol development to the culture wars within Bitcoin. We dive into the reality of self-custody and the problems with deceptive hardware wallet marketing. We also explore the rise of open-source funding models and Nostr's challenges with product-market fit. Alex opens up about his background running massive conferences, his early work with Bitcoin Magazine, and his thoughts on whether the Bitcoin space is heading toward real progress or just creating echo chambers of underutilized tools.

Brandon Green and David Bailey sit down for a conversation about the future of BTC Inc, Nakamoto, and Bitcoin itself. Bailey outlines why his mission is to “hijack the financial system,” how public-company risk works behind the scenes, and why bitcoin's market structure is changing forever. He lays out a 50-year roadmap: trillions in value creation, a global bitcoin reserve, and hyperbitcoinization driven through capital markets.
This week on Bitcoin Policy Hour, Zack Cohen, Zack Shapiro, and Ken Egan break down a change in U.S. financial policy: the Bitcoin for America Act, a bill that could allow Americans to pay taxes in bitcoin and fund a strategic national bitcoin reserve. We also explore Middle East Bitcoin adoption, why Harvard's endowment just made BTC its largest equity position, and the economic crisis facing young Americans — with new research showing it may take $140,000 a year just to survive in 2024.

Specifically, Trump intends to use it for: Accelerating Scientific Breakthroughs: By harnessing the world’s largest collection of federal scientific datasets (built over decades) to train AI foundation models and create AI agents that test hypotheses, automate research workflows, and drive discoveries comparable to historical efforts like the Manhattan Project. Combining National Resources: Integrating efforts from American scientists (including at DOE national labs), pioneering businesses, world-renowned universities, existing research infrastructure, data repositories, production plants, and national security sites to achieve dramatic advancements in AI development and utilization. Addressing Key Domains: Focusing on national priorities to revolutionize areas like infrastructure, data management, production, and security; build on innovations in semiconductors and high-performance computing; and secure energy dominance. Economic and Strategic Benefits: Dramatically enhancing workforce productivity, multiplying returns on taxpayer investments in research and development, strengthening national security, and furthering America’s global strategic leadership in technology. Broader Impacts: Enabling AI-directed experimentation, manufacturing, and problem-solving to tackle existential risks and opportunities, while ensuring secure, interoperable systems across government and partners. This initiative is framed as a response to global competition in AI, building on prior actions like America’s AI Action Plan, with an emphasis on urgency to outpace adversaries and foster economic growth.

The US has formally designated the ‘Cartel of the Suns' – a purported criminal network alleged to operate within Venezuela's security services – as a foreign terrorist organization, putting it in the same category as Al-Qaeda and Islamic State. Announcing the step on Monday, the US Treasury reiterated long-standing allegations that Maduro, whose legitimacy Washington disputes, heads the group.

The Trump White House has set a deadline of Thursday, or Thanksgiving Day in America, for the warring sides to reach a deal.

President Trump's Plan https://twitter.com/JoeLang51440671/status/1993319619403169935?s=20 to do anything. “Sen. Rand Paul on Sunday warned that President Donald Trump's focus on Venezuela may lead to a “fracture” among those who were drawn in by his campaign promise of avoiding foreign wars.” “Over the last few months, Trump has launched a campaign to eliminate alleged drug trafficking in international waters near Central and South America, mostly through controversial boat strikes – although he has also floated the idea of taking the strikes to land. On Monday, the Trump administration will officially designate Venezuela's Cartel de los Soles as a foreign terrorist organization – a decision Paul on Sunday criticized. “I think by doing this, they are pretending as if we are at war,” said Paul, chair of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs. “They're pretending as if they've gotten some imprimatur to do what they want,” he warned. “When you have war, the rules of engagement are lessened.” How many years has Rand Paul, been in office and when has he ever lifted a finger to go after the drug cartels? Trump is the first president who is waging a real war against drug cartels worldwide and Rand is doing his best to try and stop him. Trump cares about the millions of Americans who are dying from drug addiction and the families, who have lost loved ones. Rand Paul cares more about the drug cartels. And he's crying because Trump doesn't need him for anything. “Democrats in Congress have also expressed outrage over the strikes and the lack of briefings on the administration's actions – something Paul said he too has not received despite his position on the Senate Homeland Security Committee.” “I've been given zero, not one briefing because I am skeptical of what they are doing,” Paul said. “They don't brief me or the general Senate at all. A few hand-selected people may have gotten a briefing but I have not been invited to any briefings on Venezuela.” Why isn't Trump briefing Rand Paul or the democrats? Because you don't brief your enemies on your plans, when you are engaged in war. Rand Paul is nothing but a grandstanding politician and he can't stand the fact, that Trump ignores him and doesn't need him for anything. Do you want to know why else, Trump doesn't listen to him about fighting drug cartels? Here's Rand's solution to the problem: “Paul conceded that the flow of drugs into the country remains an issue but insisted that the government should focus on eliminating the demand for drugs here at home. “We should be trying to work on the demand side, treating it as a health problem, as an addiction problem in our country and trying to lessen demand. And that is part of the overall solution,” he said.” https://politico.com/news/2025/11/23/rand-paul-gop-venezuelan-strikes-00666488 To Rand Paul, millions of Americans dying from “illegal” drugs is just an “issue.” He thinks the solution is to pass legislation that takes more money from the American taxpayer and puts a bandaid on the problem. Trump on the other hand, is enforcing the laws already on the books and waging war against narco drug trafficking states that are clearly killing Americans for profit. We don't need Rand Paul in the Republican Party. He's only trying to get in the way and slow down Trump's efforts to Make America Great Again. The sooner he is removed from Congress the better. Marjorie Taylor Greene's Resignation Could Spark Another Shutdown Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's (R-GA) resignation from Congress could handicap Republicans in a critical period during which government funding expires, with dire consequences for the MAGA movement. Georgia law dictates that within ten days of a congressman's resignation, the state's governor must call a special election to take place after at least 30 days from his pronouncement. If no candidate wins a majority in the jungle election (during which all candidates run against one another regardless of party), a runoff with the top two vote-getters takes place 28 days later. By prolonging her election, Greene all but assures her seat will be empty during a period where Trump and Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) — and the American people dependent on a functioning federal government — may need every vote they can get. Greene, by prolonging her resignation for a month and a half, removes much of the urgency of scheduling a special election. Georgia political operatives project Kemp to set a date in March.

The prior U.S. attorney refused to prosecute these Democrat operatives. So the Attorney General picked a new one who is unafraid to follow the law. What is the Democrats' response? Unsurprisingly, an Obama judge hand-selected a Clinton judge. Then the Clinton judge tossed both indictments. And the first sentence in both nearly identical orders, in which the Clinton judge personally and gratuitously attacks Lindsey Halligan, makes it crystal clear this judge is a Democrat partisan. Democrat politicians, including in robes, shamefully protect their own. Unfortunately, we have two systems of justice. One Democrats weaponize against enemies.

Because too many Republicans would vote NO. Home-state senators do not want to give away their power to hand-select the U.S. attorney who would prosecute them, the U.S. district judge who would oversee their trial, and the U.S. marshal who would escort them to prison. The solution is simple: Have all Senate Judiciary Republicans and at least 50 Senate Republicans sign a letter saying this: “We will vote to confirm President Trump’s U.S. attorney nominees who lack blue slips from home-state senators.” Then Grassley can move forward with a committee vote. But why would Grassley anger all his colleagues and waste limited committee resources, if the nominees will fail? https://twitter.com/DataRepublican/status/1993291465137831953?s=20 https://twitter.com/C__Herridge/status/1993308443667472479?s=20 Kash Patel Talks In Depth About Attempted Trump Assassin And His Motives FBI Director Kash Patel told investigative journalist Catherine Herridge that hatred for the U.S. government and the two-party system played a role in Thomas Matthew Crooks' attempt to assassinate President Donald Trump on July 13, 2024 in Butler, Pa. Herridge asked Patel what motivated Crooks, 20, to try to kill Trump, then the presumptive Republican presidential nominee. Patel's answer appeared to depart from previous FBI statements when bureau officials said they were unable to find a motive or ideology behind the assassination attempt. The FBI director — appearing on Herridge's show “Straight to the Point” by the Los Angeles Times Media Group — told her that Trump was “satisfied” with his agency's investigation into that fateful day. Patel stopped short of saying the case was closed. “He [Crooks], as has been publicized, had a basically hateful relationship with the United States government, talked disparagingly about both political parties, to include President Trump, and talked about the need to take matters into his own hands. And, unfortunately, that's what he did,” Patel said when Herridge asked about Crooks' motive. Patel was later asked if Trump was satisfied with the FBI's findings regarding the July 2024 assassination attempt. He emphatically responded “yes.” Herridge asked Patel, “Is the Thomas Crooks case a closed case?” “How we treat cases like this of such great public importance is we put them in a pending-slash-inactive status, so if there's new information that comes in, we can receive it and react to it, and we don't want to foreclose that possibility,” the director said.

And now Trump just designated the group that was one of Mamdani's biggest fundraisers, as a terrorist organization. Just a coincidence? The ball is now in Mamdani's court. Trump proved to the world, by how he treated Mamdani, that what he really cares about, are the people of New York. Is Mamdani going to work with Trump, or choose to be a puppet of the Muslim Brotherhood? Mamdani now gets to choose which side he is on. https://twitter.com/WhiteHouse/status/1993079037611397563?s=20 President Trump Recognizes Certain Muslim Brotherhood Chapters for Potential Foreign Terrorist Designation The Muslim Brotherhood is the political arm of authentic Islam, and can be considered much like the umbrella organization for a host of different factions of Islamic fundamentalism. The Brotherhood is the unified political voice of many regional chapters, each with a varying degree of authentic Islam behind it. Qatar is the central bank for the Muslim Brotherhood; Turkey represents the Brotherhood's biggest national support network, and Egypt is the intellectual or scholastic battleground where the values of political Islam are debated. The executive order instructs the State Dept to officially begin the process to look at each chapter of the Muslim Brotherhood as a separate entity, and then see if the designation of a terrorist organization can apply to that chapter. As noted in the Executive Order, “relevant here, its chapters in Lebanon, Jordan, and Egypt engage in or facilitate and support violence and destabilization campaigns.” It looks like Lebanon, Jordan and Egypt chapters of the Brotherhood will get the first review. Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi already dealt with the extremist Muslim Brotherhood once, kicking their leadership out of Egypt. The leaders fled to Qatar, and then ultimately ended up in Turkey, where Recep Erdogan absolutely loves the usefulness of the Brotherhood. Jordanian King Abdullah has been balancing the Muslim Brotherhood influence for years, and Lebanon is a hot mess with the Hezbollah faction of the Brotherhood. The Muslim Brotherhood, as a political structure, holds all kinds of extremist factions under its umbrella (al-Qaeda, al-Nusra etc.).

Originally recorded as a live X Space and now available as a podcast episode: SALT CEO Hunter Albright joins Bitcoin Magazine's Mark Mason and host Isaiah Austin to dissect Europe's accelerating Bitcoin adoption. From MiCA's regulatory tailwind to nation-state strategic reserves and the surge in BTC-backed lending, this discussion cuts through the noise on where real momentum is building.Europe is outpacing Asia and the US in institutional Bitcoin integration, with small businesses quietly converting revenue to BTC for fast liquidity—no banks required. As digital IDs roll out in the UK, Bitcoin emerges as the clean opt-out for true financial sovereignty. Hunter breaks down SALT's collateralized lending: no credit checks, Shield protection against liquidation, and borrowing against BTC as the smarter path to wealth acceleration. Europe's HODL-lend-treasury hybrid is quietly shaping up as the blueprint for the next bull cycle.
In this episode of The Bitcoin Policy Hour, the conversation turns to the accelerating game theory of institutional adoption—why major banks, asset managers, and policymakers now find it strategically necessary to engage with Bitcoin. From JP Morgan's acceptance of bitcoin as collateral to shifting credit dynamics and liquidity constraints, the panel unpacks how traditional finance is being pulled, not pushed, into digital monetary infrastructure.But with adoption comes risk. As bitcoin transitions from a counter-institutional asset to a core financial instrument, questions of governance, regulatory capture, and monetary independence take center stage. Is Bitcoin's integration into Wall Street a validation of its inevitability—or a test of its principles? This episode examines both the bullish structural forces and the subtle dangers behind Bitcoin's institutional era.
This week, Jason and Matt sit down with Mark Goodwin, the former Editor-in-Chief of *Bitcoin Magazine* and one of the sharpest minds in the crypto space. Mark is the author of "The Bitcoin-Dollar" thesis and a leading voice on the intersection of state power, financial control, and the future of money. We dive deep into one of the most dangerous psyops in modern finance: the stablecoin trap. Mark explains why "compliant," centralized stablecoins like USDC are not the free-market alternative to a CBDC, but are, in fact, *more dangerous*. They are the Trojan horse for the exact same surveillance grid—a CBDC in sheep's clothing, built by corporate partners and designed to be fully permissioned, frozen, and censored at the state's command. Mark breaks down the macro-picture, revealing how stablecoins backed by U.S. Treasuries are the empire's new, high-tech scheme to kick the can down the road. As the national debt hits escape velocity, the state is now "tokenizing its debt," creating a new digital wrapper to prop up the dollar ponzi. We explore the perfect bipartisan consensus that's building this digital prison: the MAGA right rails against CBDCs while embracing "federally approved" stablecoins, while the left demands the very regulations that make them instruments of surveillance. Both roads lead to the technocratic end-goal voiced by BlackRock's Larry Fink: the tokenization of *all* assets. We also explore the dark theory of whether Bitcoin itself was an intelligence agency "limited hangout" designed to herd us into a traceable system. Finally, we end on a powerful white pill. If centralized stablecoins are the trap, the only way out is through *permissionless* technology. We discuss the critical need for true privacy tools—like Monero, Zcash, and Zano's fUSD—that are *technologically incapable* of being co-opted, and how the market is finally waking up to the demand for real financial freedom.

In this episode of the Bitcoin for Corporations Show, host Pierre Rochard is joined by Khing Oei, Founder and CEO of Treasury, to unpack one of the most important macro theses in modern finance: how Bitcoin is evolving beyond "digital gold" to become the capital base layer of the global economy — and why that shift could disrupt credit markets at their core.Oei shares his expertise in credit markets and distressed asset investing, breaking down why Bitcoin treasury companies exist while gold treasury companies never emerged, and how equity issuance, regulatory arbitrage, and balance sheet engineering are accelerating institutional Bitcoin adoption. The conversation explores how securitized Bitcoin products and corporate treasury structures could unlock a massive wave of demand — creating a reflexive feedback loop that transforms balance sheets, yield curves, and global capital flows.You'll also learn how Europe's regulatory landscape and tax treatment are shaping the next phase of Bitcoin-backed credit, why companies like MicroStrategy pioneered this model, and how future corporate issuers could become engines of structural demand far larger than ETFs or retail investors.Chapters:00:00 – Intro: Bitcoin vs. Gold – The Treasury Debate00:55 – Treasury: Going Public in Amsterdam01:23 – From Goldman Sachs to Bitcoin: Khing Oei03:04 – Why Bitcoin Treasury Companies Exist — And Gold Never Will07:45 – Scaling the Bitcoin Treasury Model: Balance Sheet Engineering Explained14:12 – Preferred Shares, Perpetuals, and the Rise of Bitcoin-Backed Credit21:38 – Equity vs. Debt: Strategic Capital Structure on a Bitcoin Standard28:04 – Investor Appetite and Yield Dynamics in Bitcoin-Backed Instruments34:52 – Building a Bitcoin Ecosystem: Media, Events, and Network Effects41:10 – Corporate Treasuries: Driving Reflexive Demand48:03 – The Path to Institutional Maturity: From Treasury Strategy to Financial Products54:45 – Macro Shifts: European Pension Funds and Fixed Income Culture1:02:00 – Regulatory Arbitrage in Europe?1:04:03 – Europe's Fiscal Health and Bond Yields: Macro Forces Fueling the Bitcoin Era

In this episode of the Bitcoin for Corporations Show, host Pierre Rochard sits down with Alexandre Laizet, Board Director of Bitcoin Strategy at Capital B, to unpack one of the most important – and most misunderstood – forces shaping Bitcoin's future: reflexive demand.Laizet explains why a self-reinforcing feedback loop is emerging in the Bitcoin market, where corporate demand drives price, rising price drives further adoption, credit worthiness and financial development, and the cycle accelerates. With just a handful of Bitcoin treasury companies already absorbing more BTC than miners produce, he argues that the next phase of Bitcoin's bull market will be defined not by retail speculation, but by structural corporate demand.Chapters:00:00 – Intro: Demand Dynamics & Treasury Outperformance01:44 – Alexandre's Bitcoin Journey05:20 – Corporate Adoption vs Individual Sovereignty10:33 – ECB Skepticism & European Rollout14:46 – Positioning Capital B & Bitcoin-Denominated Convertibles19:18 – Why There is Hope for Europe25:21 – Managing Risk, Leverage, and Cash Buffers34:12 – Media Strategy & Educating Shareholders39:34 – Long-Term Execution vs Short-Term Noise46:21 – Defining a "Bitcoin Treasury Company"51:22 – Credit Markets Built on Bitcoin59:00 – Catalysts: Treasury Demand Crushing Miner Supply01:07:01 – Closing ThoughtsConnect with Alexandre Laizet on X: https://x.com/AlexandreLaizetLearn more about Capital B: https://cptlb.com/Follow Bitcoin For Corporations on X: https://x.com/BitcoinForCorpsLearn more about Bitcoin For Corporations – the executive network for corporate Bitcoin adoption: https://b.tc/corporations#BitcoinForCorporations #AlexandreLaizet #BitcoinReflexivity #BitcoinDemandShock #BitcoinTreasury #CorporateBitcoin #BitcoinAdoption #BitcoinInstitutions #BitcoinStrategy #HyperbitcoinizationDISCLAIMER: The views and opinions expressed in this show are those of the participants and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of BTC Inc., Bitcoin Magazine, Bitcoin for Corporations, or any affiliated entities.

In this episode of Bitcoin For Corporations, host Pierre Rochard sits down with Christian Lopez, Managing Director at Cohen and Company Capital Markets, to explore the future of bitcoin treasury companies. Lopez explains why NOT holding bitcoin is becoming “irresponsible” for corporate treasurers, how inflation erodes fiat reserves, and why Strategy's 'strategy' has reshaped the corporate finance playbook.

Trump Files Emergency Request With Supreme Court to Make Lisa Cook Fired Again The Trump administration filed an emergency request with the Supreme Court on Thursday to allow it to remove Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook from the central bank's board while a lawsuit plays out in lower court over Cook's ouster by President Trump last month.

That's what she promised.” “Right now, I'm not excited about the proposal,” Senate Finance Committee chairman Mike Crapo told conservative commentator Hugh Hewitt on Thursday. “But I have to say, there are a number of people in both the House and the Senate who are, and if the president weighs in in favor of it, then that's going to be a big factor that we have to take into consideration as well.” Republican Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley, who frequently breaks with his party on economic issues, told the Daily Caller News Foundation on Thursday afternoon that he would be “fine” with the president's millionaire tax proposal. He cautioned that at most two of his Senate GOP colleagues would join him in signing off on the tax hike.

The law lowered the top individual income tax rate from 39.6% to 37%, doubled the estate tax exemption, and cut the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%, disproportionately benefiting high earners and corporations. Data from the Tax Policy Center shows the top 1% of households received an average tax cut of about $50,000 in 2018, while middle-income households got around $900. supporters claim it spurred economic growth. https://twitter.com/EricLDaugh/status/1920553634775118283 https://twitter.com/BitcoinMagazine/status/1920841070281175489

In a press release published by the agency on Apr. 24, the Federal Reserve said it will no longer require state member banks to give advance notice before launching or participating in crypto-related activities. Instead, these activities will now be reviewed under the usual bank supervision process. This move marks a shift from the Fed's earlier stance, which called for extra caution due to potential risks tied to digital assets. The Fed also canceled its 2023 guidance that limited how banks could engage with stablecoins, or “dollar tokens.” In addition, the Fed, alongside the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, withdrew from two joint statements made the same year. This policy change follows a wider shift in Washington. In January, the Securities and Exchange Commission rolled back a rule that had forced banks holding crypto to list it as a liability, easing pressure on institutions. The Fed's latest move comes as the Trump administration continues to position itself as pro-crypto. President Trump has publicly vowed to make the U.S. the “crypto capital of the planet,” signaling that more regulatory changes could be on the way.
