The Philippines just introduced a landmark bill to build a 10,000 BTC strategic reserve, acquired at 2,000 BTC per year and locked away for 20 years. If passed, this would propel the Philippines into the top tier of sovereign Bitcoin holders, joining El Salvador and Bhutan in the nation-state arms race. BREAKING: Brazil has now entered the game. On August 20th, Brazil's Chamber of Deputies held the first public hearing on Bill 4501/24, which proposes allocating up to 5% of international reserves (~$19B) into Bitcoin. This would be one of the largest sovereign Bitcoin buys in history. As Asia and South America step onto the battlefield, the BTC Arms Race is accelerating. Nation-states are moving fast to secure Bitcoin before the supply shock hits. Hyperbitcoinization isn't a question of if - it's a countdown.

A new model projects Bitcoin could surge to $400,000 by year-end, as institutions and “forced buyers” drive unprecedented supply pressure. Meanwhile, Taiwan makes history with its first Bitcoin treasury - Top Win raises $10 million to stack BTC. And in Washington, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent backpedals on his earlier stance, now saying U.S. Bitcoin buys are still “possible” through budget-neutral mechanisms. Max Keiser affirms El Salvador's unstoppable Bitcoin accumulation, calling it proof that “Bitcoin Country” is leading by example. He responded directly to the U.S. flip-flop, saying Atkins should admit El Salvador is setting the pace while America scrambles to copy Bukele's Bitcoin and security policies. “You guys are no. 2 - and you need to try harder.” We break down what this $400K forecast really means, why Taiwan's bold move signals a new era of national BTC treasuries, and how America's indecision exposes its weakness in the face of unstoppable hyperbitcoinization.

With Cubic controlling an estimated 30–35% of hash power, the attacks combine technical pressure with “weaponized marketing” to boost their own coin. The community is responding by mobilizing CPU miners—especially on decentralized P2Pool—renting hash power during attack windows, and discussing medium-term fixes like fee adjustments, improved mining incentives, and greater decentralization. Broader regulatory headwinds, including high-profile legal cases against privacy tools, add to the urgency. Core consensus is to protect Monero's tail emission, reject proof-of-stake, and focus on practical, PoW-compatible defenses while reassuring users their funds remain safe. TIMESTAMPS: Coming soon!

Joseph Chalom is Co-CEO at SharpLink and Jason Linehan is Chief Strategy Officer at Consensys.In this episode, we unpack what Joseph refers to as The ETH Opportunity and why SharpLink is all-in with their ETH treasury offering, SBET. From Joseph's background at BlackRock to SharpLink's mission to offer exposure to ETH and ETH yield in the public markets, this conversation explores why Ethereum sits at the center of digital asset adoption and why the moment to accumulate ETH is now. We also discuss The Trustware Report outlining the investment case for ETH, how SharpLink's approach differs from an ETH ETF, and why institutional investors are increasingly drawn to ETH over BTC.------

Altcoin season meets corporate blockchains as Circle and Stripe launch their own L1s, Monero suffers the biggest 51% attack in history (powered by an AI named “Garth”), and the crew debates whether the DAT boom is heading toward equilibrium or mania. Welcome to The Chopping Block – where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, Tarun Chitra, and Robert Leshner chop it up about the latest in crypto. In this episode, the crew dives into the surprising altcoin rally and asks whether ETH still counts as an alt. The big news: Circle unveils Arc, Stripe leaks Tempo — and crypto Twitter is not impressed. We explore why major fintechs are launching their own chains instead of using Ethereum L2s, and whether stablecoin-centric blockchains are the future or just profit grabs. Then: the wildest headline of the week — Monero gets hit with a 51% attack by Qubic, a project training an AI called “Garth,” in what might be the largest attack of its kind. We break down the game theory, the proof-of-work vs. proof-of-stake debate, and what this foreshadows for Bitcoin's security decades from now. Also: Trump's executive order opens the door for crypto in 401(k) plans, we speculate about a future GPU debt market crisis, and dissect the state of play in Digital Asset Treasuries (DATs) — including whether yield advantages over staking ETFs mean we're only halfway to mania.

Why the Wealth Gap is Widening In 2020, if you put $100,000 into: A Bank Account at 1%, you would have $105k (but actual purchasing power would be $70,000) $100,000 in BTC would be about $650,000 $100G in Silver $211,000 $100G Gold would be worth $227,000 today The entire financial system changed on August 15th, 1971. Obviously, what worked before that is no longer working. People still saving dollars in banks at interest rates that are less than the inflation rate are losing more faster. Those who have exchanged fiat dollars for hard assets are getting much wealthier. This is wiping out the middle class. If you want to be on the winning side of inflation… Buy More Hard Assets Faster!
