Podcasts about Central bank digital currency

NLW breaks down the newly signed Genius Act—the first major piece of U.S. crypto legislation. He unpacks what the law actually contains, from reserve requirements and audit rules to the “Libra clause” banning Big Tech stablecoins. With Circle and Tether taking center stage at the White House, what does this mean for the future of stablecoins, tokenization, and U.S. financial dominance? Plus, thoughts on DeFi tailwinds, CBDC fears, Schwab's crypto plans, and the latest crypto IPO filings. Enjoying this content?

With President Trump's signature, the Genius Act is now law—marking a historic step toward regulated, dollar-backed stablecoins and a potential turning point in America's digital financial future. But is this legislation a framework for innovation or a gateway for centralized control? In this power-packed interview, Johns Hopkins economist Steve Hanke and Hard Asset Management CEO Christian Briggs offer sharp, divergent takes. Briggs defends the Genius Act as a vital safeguard against an overreaching Federal Reserve and an international CBDC agenda, while Hanke warns of political profiteering and crypto's slippery slope toward state-backed surveillance. Together, they dig into the risks, rewards, and global stakes of programmable money, the anti-CBDC movement, and the future of financial privacy. It's a critical conversation that reveals what's really at play beneath the surface of bipartisan support—and why this moment could define the next century of American money.

Prof. Richard Werner is best known for his book ”Princes of the Yen”, his paper on quantitative easing & his support for small local banks. In this interview, he talks about recent events in economics & the role he believes Bitcoin will play.

After years of hostility toward crypto, the U.S. passed its first-ever federal law regarding the industry. The GENIUS Act, stablecoin legislation backed by both parties, was signed by President Trump's desk after a last-minute showdown in Congress. Despite being seen as a sure thing, the bill's path turned turbulent this week, with objections from Democrats over Trump's crypto ties, and a sudden revolt from the Freedom Caucus around anti-CBDC language. Now that it's through, what will this law actually do? And who stands to benefit—or lose? In this episode, Dante Disparte, Circle's chief strategy officer and one of the key players behind the legislation, joins Unchained to explain: How the bill won bipartisan support despite political tensions Why banks may think twice before issuing stablecoins And why Circle is applying for a national trust bank charter Plus, the battle over interest-bearing stablecoins, how this bill fits into the broader financial regulatory landscape, and whether U.S. consumers and the dollar come out ahead.

NLW breaks down the dramatic twists of Crypto Week on Capitol Hill, where GOP infighting brought legislative progress to a near halt. From Trump's Oval Office intervention to the 7-hour procedural vote—the longest in House history—he unpacks the fragile deal to move the anti-CBDC bill forward. Also in this episode: the mysterious movement of $4.6B in ancient Bitcoin, speculation around Adam Back's treasury strategy, a $100M Coin Metrics acquisition, and signs of retail returning as Ethereum and altcoins stir to life.

The House voted overwhelmingly on Thursday to pass the first-ever major legislative overhaul of cryptocurrency regulations, sending a bill that will create new rules for so-called stablecoins to the president's desk and delivering crypto companies a historic lobbying victory. House lawmakers voted 308-122 to adopt the Senate-passed GENIUS Act, with more than 100 Democrats including Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries joining most Republicans to approve a measure that is poised to help legitimize digital assets as mainstream financial products. During a July 18 White House ceremony, Trump signed the Genius Act legislation into law.~This Episode is Sponsored By Coinbase~ Buy $50 & Get $50 for getting started on Coinbase➜ https://bit.ly/CBARRON00:00 Intro00:15 Sponsor: Coinbase00:44 Rep.

In this explosive episode, we uncover striking parallels between radical jihadists' demands for total allegiance and the tactics of radical Leftists, exposing how both dehumanize their opponents. We break down the latest political firestorms, including: • Biden Staffer Pleads the Fifth: Annie Tomasini, a senior Biden aide, stonewalls the House Oversight Committee, refusing to answer critical questions. What are they hiding? • WSJ's Epstein-Trump Tabloid Claim: A 2003 birthday message from Donald Trump to Jeffrey Epstein sparks controversy. Is this Wall Street Journal report credible, or just tabloid sensationalism? • ICE Kidnapping Hoax in LA: A woman's claim of being kidnapped by ICE is exposed as a Democrat-linked hoax. She's now under arrest, with investigations into her co-conspirators ongoing. • Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar's Amnesty Push: The Florida Republican's “Dignity Bill” aims to grant amnesty for illegal immigrants, arguing they fill jobs Americans avoid. Is this a betrayal of conservative values? • Trump's Health Update: Addressing speculation, Trump releases medical tests explaining ankle swelling and hand bruising—normal signs of aging or something more? • CBS Reporter's PTSD Claim: Scott MacFarlane says Trump supporters' “look” at a rally, not the near-assassination attempt, triggered his PTSD. A bizarre narrative unfolds. • Closing Bombshells: A criminal referral targets Fed Chair Jerome Powell for allegedly lying about a $2.5B Fed renovation. Trump demands the release of Epstein's Grand Jury testimony. Democrats (minus two) back a failed CBDC push. Plus, early 2026 midterm polls show Republicans leading by 5 points and Trump by 9.

In this explosive episode, Christian Briggs returns to break down what nearly happened had Trump not won this term—and the centralized monetary system that was already being built behind closed doors. From Ripple's alleged backchannel deals with Kamala Harris to the FedNow platform's role in launching a commercial CBDC without Congress, Briggs exposes the global push toward programmable money and the power structures behind it. He explains how a coalition of lawmakers, spearheaded by Warren Davidson, Tim Scott, and Speaker Mike Johnson, rewrote the course of American finance by passing the Genius Act, Clarity Act, and Anti-CBDC bill. The goal? Keep crypto markets free, stop central bank overreach, and preserve individual control over digital assets before it's too late. What unfolded on Capitol Hill wasn't just legislation—it was a financial firewall against a global tide.

Crypto Week got off to a rocky start in Washington as internal GOP conflict—driven by fierce opposition to central bank digital currencies (CBDCs)—blocked a key procedural vote. NLW breaks down how the House Freedom Caucus derailed the crypto agenda over concerns about the Genius Act and its perceived lack of anti-CBDC protections. We explore what this means for the future of crypto legislation, Trump's response, and whether the bills can still pass. Plus, NLW unpacks Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan's case for why clear crypto rules could reduce risk—and why inflation data might complicate the Fed's next move. Enjoying this content?

CBDCs aren't just “on the way”; they're already being tested and quietly rolled out around the world. They promise convenience and safety, but what they really offer is unprecedented surveillance, control over your money, and the end of financial privacy as we know it.

More cryptocurrency drama is unfolding on the House floor Wednesday, a day after conservative hard-liners foiled GOP leaders' plans to advance a trio of regulatory bills. The hard-liners climbed back aboard following a Tuesday night meeting with President Donald Trump and a last-minute negotiation Wednesday with House leaders that allowed the chamber to take an initial procedural step on the legislation.Guest: Ron Hammond - Head of Policy and Advocacy at WintermuteWintermute website ➜ https://bit.ly/WintermuteCryptoFollow Ron on Twitter ➜ https://x.com/RonwHammond00:00 intro00:14 Crypto Votes Fail... for now00:36 Marjorie Taylor Greene vs CBDC's01:45 Crypto Vote Drama Update04:03 CBDC "Backdoor" in Genius Act fake?06:48 Brad Sherman's Final Stand07:28 Sean Casten vs Stablecoins08:30 Congress is Dumb10:02 Vote Order Could Threaten Genius Act12:03 Vote Passing Odds13:00 How Can Elizabeth Warren Win?14:30 Tornado Cash Trial Day 0115:07 Trial Update16:13 Data Privacy on Trial18:20 Americans Want Crypto Regulation18:50 outro#Crypto #ethereum #bitcoin~CRYPTO VOTE INCOMING!

The show opens with June's PPI numbers and we were below expectations, showing inflation still isn't a problem, despite the dire warnings from so many. VP Vance cast the tie breaking vote to push the first recission bill through, cutting $9B in spending, including $1B for NPR and PBS. President Trump also announced saving the largest natural gas energy plant in all of North America while he was in Pennsylvania. Then, today, he announced a huge deal with the country of Bahrain. We have to return to more Epstein conversation, but this time, I think I finally have a much better handle on the strategy of this White House. We use a piece produced by CNN's Kaitlin Collins to illustrate what I believe is happening behind the scenes. Next, we dive into an undercover piece from the O'Keefe Media Group catching a J&J scientist throwing their Covid-19 vaccine under the bus. Other scandals discussed include Sen. Adam Schiff's (D-CA) attempt to re-frame his mortgage fraud woes and Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) wants criminal charges brought on Dr. Anthony Fauci. The Trump administration is halting all access of illegals to Federal programs, meant to save up to $40B annually. An anti-Semitic professor at Georgetown has been removed as Islamic studies department chair. Trump has convinced a dozen Republicans to support stopping any attempt to form a CBDC. We close with another trade deal win for the United States with Indonesia. And, finally, one of Trump's judge appoints gets through the Senate; it only took six months.

Josh Sigurdson reports on the rollout of CBDCs (Central Bank Digital Currencies) in nearly every country worldwide simultaneously alongside Digital IDs. Order out of chaos. There is chaos being perpetuated by design worldwide right now and conveniently, nearly every government is rolling out a cashless society as the United States pushes forward AI legislation, passes the GENIUS Act, XMoney launches in partnership with Visa as part of the social media X's social credit system, the European Union launches a Digital ID wallet at the same time as they launch a CBDC by October at the latest, the UK launches their Digital ID wallet and pushes for the Pound to "go woke" and the Australian Digital ID wallet is launched as a litmus for other countries. Russia, China and other BRICS+ countries are full steam ahead with mandated Digital IDs and major corporations like Palantir are creating vast databases on everyone which will likely be ties to their social media presence as well as their credit card spending. As the EU rolls out their Digital ID and CBDC faster than almost anyone else, they're also banning private messaging and privacy coins, settling for KYC based cryptocurrency stablecoins. This is similar to the US push for banks to regulate crypto, ironically the exact thing crypto was designed to fight. Meanwhile, SpaceX will invest $2 billion in Elon Musk's xAI which Musk just sold X to for $33 billion. This comes as SpaceX launches a $200 million smartphone in space for Israel. There are no coincidences here. They're destroying the supply chain, the grid, controlling the surveillance of the internet, destroying the economy and coming in with their so-called solution with a ration based technocracy, entirely eliminating independence.

In this episode (15th July), we dive into a week packed with crypto headlines and global policy moves.

John Kiff, former IMF expert and global CBDC thought leader, discusses wholesale and retail CBDCs, implementation challenges, and why some projects fail. He envisions a future where well-regulated stablecoins backed by central bank money drive innovation.

Is the U.S. dollar on the verge of collapse by design? Are central banks and global elites orchestrating the end of cash to usher in a single, digital currency that could control every transaction on Earth? In this episode of Conspiracy Files, we uncover the truth behind rising inflation, central bank digital currencies, and whispers of a global monetary reset. Is this the future of finance—or the foundation of a new world order? Decide for yourself.

Congressman French Hill, Chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, joined me to discuss the upcoming Crypto Week, during which the House will vote on the Stablecoin and Crypto Market Structure bills, as well as the anti-CBDC legislation.Topics: - What is Crypto Week - Genius Act Stablecoin Bill - Clarity Act Market Structure Bill - AntiCBDC Bill - Implications of Stablecoin legislation passing - Crypto tax policy Show Sponsor -

The US House of Representatives has declared July 14–18 “Crypto Week,” with lawmakers set to debate and potentially vote on three major crypto bills — the CLARITY Act, the GENIUS Act and the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act.In this episode of Byte-Sized Insight, we break down what's at stake, who's behind the legislative push and whether any of these bills stand a real chance of becoming law.We hear from Cointelegraph US policy reporter Turner Wright and Mason Lynaugh, community director of Stand With Crypto, to unpack the political tensions, lobbying power plays and what this moment could mean for the future of crypto regulation in the US.(00:30) What is “crypto week” (02:16) Why Congress is suddenly focused on crypto(03:04) Bipartisan signals: Is crypto finally getting cross-aisle support?(05:14) Political roadblocks: Skepticism and Trump ties(06:27) Stand With Crypto: Industry momentum and why timing matters(07:30) Has crypto become too politicized?(08:52) Inside crypto lobbying: What advocacy actually looks like(11:15) What's at stake if Congress fails to act(13:29) Listener spotlight: Comment of the week from XThis episode was hosted and produced by Savannah Fortis, @savannah_fortis.Follow Cointelegraph on X @Cointelegraph.Check out Cointelegraph at cointelegraph.com.If you like what you heard, rate us and leave a review!The views, thoughts and opinions expressed in this podcast are its participants' alone and do not necessarily reflect or represent the views and opinions of Cointelegraph.

Bitcoin 14. yaşında ve hala tam anlaşılmıyor: Dijital para mı, elektronik altın mı, yoksa başka bir şey mi? Neden belirli özellikleri var ve neden 'mükemmel' özel değil? Bu yayın, Bitcoin'in neden şeffaf olduğunu ve bu şeffaflığın bir zorunluluk olup olmadığını derinlemesine inceliyor.Yazar, Bitcoin'in özünün ve varoluş nedeninin "bütünlük" (integrity) olduğunu vurguluyor. Satoshi'nin temel hedefi, sağlıklı paraya dönüş, yani paranın bütünlüğünü yeniden tesis etmekti. Kişisel bütünlük anonimlikle çelişse de, Bitcoin'deki bütünlük, verinin doğruluğu, tamlığı ve tutarlılığı anlamlarına gelir.Bitcoin'in getirdiği veri bütünlüğü, kullanıcıların özel anahtarlarının yanı sıra, kamusal bilgilerin tam, doğrulanabilir şekilde bozulmamış ve tamamen şeffaf olmasından kaynaklanır. Bu şeffaflık, doğrulanabilirliğin temelidir ve bu sayede başkalarına güvenmek zorunda kalmadan paraya sahip olabilir, sistemin bütünlüğünü kontrol edebiliriz. Örneğin, sistemde hile olup olmadığını, ne kadar Bitcoin olduğunu güven gerektirmeden doğrulayabiliriz. Güven gerektirmeyen bu kamusal veri bütünlüğü için enerji şarttır. Geleneksel bankacılık sistemleri veya yakında çıkacak CBDC'ler (Merkez Bankası Dijital Paraları) gibi diğer sistemler ise, veri bütünlüğünü sağlamak için güvenmek zorunda olduğumuz merkezi anahtarlara dayanır.Sistemin bütünlüğünü herkes için kolayca doğrulanabilir kılmak adına bir dereceye kadar şeffaflık şart olsa da, yazar net bir şekilde belirtiyor: Bitcoin daha özel olmalı ve olacak. Bunun en temel nedenlerinden biri, gözetimin özgürlüklerimizi kısıtlaması ve insan onuruna doğrudan bir saldırı olmasıdır. Gözetim, farkında olsak da olmasak da davranışlarımızı etkiler. İnternetteki HTTPS'ye geçiş gibi, Bitcoin için de mahremiyet katmanlarına acilen ihtiyacımız var. Lightning Network gibi üst katmanlar hız ve mahremiyet açısından şimdiden daha iyi ve gelecekteki sistemler (Hal Finney'nin bahsettiği Bitcoin destekli bankalar gibi) tasarımları gereği özel olacak.Özellikle, yakın zamanda hayatımıza girecek CBDC'ler total gözetim ve kontrol getirme potansiyeli taşıyor. Merkez bankaları, kimin ne zaman, ne kadar ve ne için harcama yapacağını merkezi ve otoriter bir şekilde belirleyebilecek. Bu dijital gözetim ve kontrol tehdidi karşısında Bitcoin bir sığınak sunuyor. Bu nedenle, otoriteler tarafından düzenleme ve yasaklama baskısı kaçınılmaz olacaktır; çünkü merkez bankacılarının bakış açısıyla, insanlar bu kontrollü sistemden kaçış yolu arayacaklardır ve otoriteler bu "kaçış kapılarını kapatmak" isteyecektir.Yazarın mesajı açık: Sağlıklı para tek başına yeterli değil, mahremiyet de şarttır. Özgür düşünce, özgür eylem, ifade özgürlüğü ve serbest ticaretin temelinde bu ikisi yatar. Bitcoin sistemi, işleyişinin temelinde çoğu insanın dürüst olduğuna dair bir güven barındırır. Bütünlük, takma adlar (pseudonymity) aracılığıyla sağlanır; bu, sistemin anahtarıdır. Bu bölüm, Bitcoin'in temel bütünlük prensibini, şeffaflığın gerekliliğini, mahremiyet arayışını ve dijital çağın getirdiği gözetim tehdidi karşısında Bitcoin'in konumunu derinlemesine ele alıyor.Kaynak

Yael Potjer spreekt in deze maandupdate met Frank Knopers over Trumps economische reset, de dreiging die stablecoins vormen voor de CBDC, de dalende dollar en de stijgende defensiebegroting.De wereldberoemde investeerder Ray Dalio waarschuwde afgelopen week voor de mogelijke gevolgen van Trumps nieuwe ‘Big Beautiful Bill'. Volgens hem zijn grote en pijnlijke verstoringen op de financiële markten zeer waarschijnlijk, nu Trump de belastingen wil verlagen terwijl het begrotingstekort al uit de hand loopt. Anderen zien het juist als een broodnodige economische reset. Wie heeft er gelijk?Trump presenteerde daarnaast ook een nieuwe wet over cryptocurrencies en stablecoins. Maar wat wil hij daarmee bereiken? Volgens Frank gaat het om veel meer dan regulering alleen. Hij ziet het als het begin van een monetaire reset en legt uit waarom. Hij staat daarin niet alleen: ook Christine Lagarde voelt de dreiging van een privatisering van geld en vreest dat dit de macht van centrale banken ondermijnt. Is dit het begin van het einde voor de CBDC?Wat gebeurt er met de dollar, en welke impact heeft de waardedaling op uw beleggingen? Ook kijken ze naar de groei van de geldhoeveelheid en wat dit alles betekent voor uw beleggingen in goud, bitcoin en aandelen.Tot slot bespreken ze het beleid van Milei in Argentinië. Is het een succes? Ook gaan we in op de gevolgen van de afspraken over defensie-uitgaven die tijdens de NAVO-top zijn gemaakt.Frank Knopers op X: https://x.com/frankknopersWebsite Boon & Knopers: https://boonknopers.com/Weekupdate op Substack: https://boonknopers.substack.com/Yael Potjer op X: https://x.com/GoedWeerGenieteInterview FD met Kishore Mahbubani: https://fd.nl/politiek/1557748/oud-to...JP Morgan over Bitcoin als onderpand voor hypotheken: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articl...Lagarde bang voor privatisering van geld via stablecoins: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/ecb-pr...Overweegt u om goud en zilver aan te kopen?

In this intense and eye-opening episode of the Hard Asset Money Show, Christian Briggs delivers a hard-hitting deep dive into the rising tide of central bank digital currency (CBDC), smart contracts, and asset tokenization. What does it really mean when your home, bank account, or investments are turned into digital tokens on a blockchain—controlled by third parties and governed by private keys? From Ripple's role in global CBDC infrastructure to Apple and Neuralink's mind-controlled payment tech, Briggs explores how the world is racing toward centralized, programmable money. Are we witnessing the end of financial privacy and free-market capitalism as we know it? And more importantly—what can you do now to protect your wealth and your rights? If you think this is the future, you're already behind. This is the now. Tune in and get ahead before the switch flips.

How do we stop another Covid, stop Digital ID, stop CBDC...any of these things?

0703(목) 한국은행 CBDC 포기… 원화 스테이블 코인의 미래는? & 6·27 대책 집중 분석, 서울 집값 잡히나?

CBDCs aren't coming—they're already here. And they're the most dangerous tool of control the technocratic system has ever rolled out. Programmable. Trackable. Fully centralized. If they win this battle, you'll be told when, where, and how you can spend. And when you step out of line? Access denied. But we're not going out like that. This week on the Live Free Now Show, I'm sitting down with Tony Arterburn Jr., founder of Wise Wolf Gold and Silver Exchange, to talk about real, practical ways to exit the system and protect your wealth. You've heard me talk a lot about crypto—especially privacy coins like Monero and Zano—and I still believe they're a vital part of building the parallel economy. But precious metals are the OG parallel currency. They're private. Proven. And ready to use for real-world commerce right now. Tony and I will share: Why CBDCs are the final trap of the control grid How gold and silver can be used TODAY to trade outside the system What to know before buying metals—and how to avoid the rookie mistakes Smart ways to diversify between crypto and metals for true sovereignty His journey from paratrooper to parallel economy powerhouse And how you can start stacking automatically with WolfPack.Gold—Tony's monthly precious metals program that makes recurring purchases easy and accessible Whether you're already stacking or just curious where metals fit in the freedom puzzle—this episode is for you. Let's talk gold, crypto, and how to break free from digital financial slavery.   ***  

"Kripto" çılgınlığında kaybolmuş veya "fiat" dünyasının güvenilirliğini sorguluyor musunuz? Bu bölüm, kafa karışıklığını gidermek için net bir duruş sergiliyor: Bitcoin, blockchain, DeFi, Web3, CBDC'ler veya getiri peşinde koşulan diğer tüm "kripto" projeleri değildir. Bitcoin'in ne olduğunu, neden diğer her şeyden kökten farklı olduğunu ve neden "fiat gazeteciler" veya "dolandırıcılar" tarafından yanıltılmış olabileceğinizi derinlemesine inceliyoruz.Birçok kişi, merkezi borsalarda veya "kağıt bitcoin"de tuttuğu ve güvendiği varlıkları kaybetti. Bu kayıplar, Bitcoin ağının kendisini asla etkilemedi. Çünkü Bitcoin, emanet etmediğiniz sürece güven gerektirmez. Matematik ve fizik yasalarına dayanır, sansüre ve müsadereye dirençlidir. Kimsenin kontrolünde değildir, bir doğa kuvveti gibidir ve kesintisiz olarak 10 dakikada bir yeni bir blok üretir.Bitcoin ölü değil, eski teknoloji değil. Fiat para birimlerinin aksine mutlak kıttır ve "para basarak" değeri düşürülemez. Fiyatındaki dalgalanmalar, Bitcoin'in kendisinin değil, insan psikolojisinin ve piyasanın volatilitesidir. Bitcoin'in özünde yatan şey derin sistemik istikrardır. Önemli olan USD fiyatı değil, ağın çalışması ve varlığın değişmeyen özellikleridir."Yield" veya getiri aramak, hala "fiat merceğinden" dünyaya baktığınızın bir işaretidir. Gerçek soru şudur: "Projeniz neden kendi parasına ihtiyaç duyuyor ve o getiri nereden geliyor?"Geç kaldığınızı düşünmeyin. Bitcoin, bir yatırım aracı olmanın ötesinde, servetinizi zaman ve mekan boyunca taşımanızı sağlayan devrimci bir teknolojidir. Bir çıkıştır, yan yol değil.Merkezi platformların ve vaatlerin tehlikelerinden kaçının. Kendi anahtarlarınızı tutun! Sorumluluk alın, "fiat zihniyetinden" kurtulun ve servetinizi satoshi (sats) olarak ölçmeye başlayın. Bitcoin kimseyi beklemez, ama anlamak ve kendi kontrolünüzü ele almak için asla geç değildir.Bu bölümü dinleyerek, Bitcoin'in neden "sinyal", diğer her şeyin ise "gürültü" olduğunu keşfedin ve gerçek parayı anlama yolculuğunda ilk adımı atın.Kaynak

Josh Sigurdson talks with Mark Gonzales about the upcoming BRICS summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on July 6th and 7th of 2025. The latest BRICS summit expects to see the entrance of 44 more countries into the alliance and the calls for a total shift away from the US Dollar into a new world reserve currency system under BRICS+. While Putin cannot attend due to an ICC arrest warrant and Xi cannot attend due to inner problems between China and India, the overall agenda remains in place as the alliance gains more than half the world's population. The power shift was scripted long ago with the west falling to the east. The west of course propped up the east as the inevitable replacement system with a cashless society and a global technocracy as the goal. The 17th BRICS Summit is sure to cause panic among the dollar maximalists but the issue remains the same regardless of the dollar falling to BRICS or not. There will still be a CBDC system as a replacement for the failed world reserve fiat currency as all fiat currencies eventually fail. As we witness a banking crisis, the shift into a depression, a housing crisis, an employment crisis and massive inflation, the replacement system will be a digital ID with rations. That is, if you keep your money in the bank. Russia is launching their mandated digital ID wallet and "WeChat" type application. The UK and European Union are launching their digital ID. The United States and Canada are launching their own digital IDs including corporations like XMoney owned by Elon Musk releasing their own CBDC and digital infrastructure in cooperation with 'Episodesix.' The EU is launching their CBDC by October and the United States has passed the GENIUS Act and the STABLE Act which involves stable coins with KYC as well as the use of this surveillance technology within banks. The whole purpose of crypto in the first place was to avoid the banking system. We are witnessing history and with chaos comes order as wars heat up. This is exactly the scripted move the establishment wanted in the first place. Are you prepared? Stay tuned for more from WAM!

L'euro numérique est un projet de monnaie numérique de banque centrale (CBDC) porté par la Banque centrale européenne. Il permettrait aux citoyens de la zone euro de disposer d'un moyen de paiement numérique, gratuit, sécurisé, instantané, et utilisable même hors ligne, tout en étant garanti par la BCE, comme les billets et pièces actuels.Ce projet vise à compléter les moyens de paiement privés, à préserver la souveraineté monétaire européenne face à la montée des cryptomonnaies et des stablecoins (notamment américains), et à offrir une forme publique de monnaie adaptée à l'ère numérique. Après une phase d'étude entre 2021 et 2023, la BCE est désormais dans une phase de préparation technique et réglementaire. La décision de lancer ou non l'euro numérique sera prise en octobre 2025, pour une mise en circulation possible à partir de 2027.Mais une étude publiée en juin 2025 par le cabinet PwC vient jeter une ombre sur ce calendrier. Commandée par trois grandes fédérations bancaires européennes, l'étude révèle que les coûts d'adaptation pour les banques seraient très élevés : environ 2 milliards d'euros pour un échantillon de 19 banques, et jusqu'à 30 milliards pour l'ensemble de la zone euro si certaines fonctionnalités ambitieuses sont mises en œuvre (paiement hors ligne, comptes multiples, interopérabilité avec les acteurs privés). La grande majorité des coûts (75 %) concernerait des adaptations techniques (nouvelles applis, interfaces, infrastructures).Plus inquiétant encore, près de 46 % des experts bancaires spécialisés seraient mobilisés chaque année sur ce projet, au détriment de la capacité d'innovation des établissements. Ce coût humain et organisationnel s'ajoute aux autres points de friction déjà identifiés : crainte d'une désintermédiation bancaire (si les citoyens transfèrent trop d'argent vers leur portefeuille numérique BCE), débats sur la protection de la vie privée, et incertitudes réglementaires au sein de l'Union européenne.Malgré ces obstacles, la BCE et la Commission européenne restent déterminées, notamment face aux ambitions américaines en matière de stablecoins. Elles voient dans l'euro numérique un outil stratégique pour préserver l'indépendance monétaire de la zone euro.Conclusion :Le lancement de l'euro numérique reste probable, mais pas encore assuré. Tout dépendra de l'équilibre politique trouvé d'ici octobre 2025 entre les ambitions institutionnelles européennes et les contraintes techniques et économiques des banques. À court terme, le projet reste fragile. À moyen terme, cependant, la digitalisation mondiale des paiements rend son adoption de plus en plus inévitable. Hébergé par Acast.

Josh Sigurdson talks with Mark Gonzales about the latest warning by the Federal Reserve which usually avoids making really negative claims about the economy as they say recession is ahead. Fed chair Jerome Powell claims rates will go up alongside Inflation and there will be a shock to the system. When considering this warning, it's almost important to realize the United States just hit 37 trillion dollars in debt and Trump is now spending trillions on his latest bills including $1 trillion alone on the military budget which is the largest in history. The World Bank is also warning of a major economic collapse. It's convenient that simultaneously, 63 central banks are implementing Basel 3 which forces bail-ins to "rescue" failing banks. That means they can take your money out of your account and run. The FDIC is bankrupt so that won't help either. The CBDC is being launched in the European Union by October at the latest according to the ECB and on top of the digital IDs being launched this year, the STABLE Act and GENIUS Act have been launched in the US, essentially creating a KYC based CBDC in the United States as well. According to an IMF paper CBDCs will allow police to collect, store personal data for the surveillance state. AI is taking over via legislation right now just as wars are declared and employment plummets with automation. This is not a coincidence. This is the reset and everyone must get prepared immediately.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.theflyingfrisby.comI am travelling to the bitcoin conference in Prague this week - come say hi if you're there - so you are likely to get a lot of bitcoin-related content over the next fortnight, as I re-indoctrinate myself.Indeed, we are talking bitcoin and gold today — and we start with this.The Bitcoin Treasury BoomUK-listed Coinsilium (AQUIS:COIN), as flagged last Sunday, is jumping on the bitcoin treasury bandwagon. It has risen over 600% in the 10 days since I covered it. It was 6p. Now it's over 40p. Its market cap it £135 million. It only owns 25 bitcoins. (Worth around £2 million).Nuts. But there you go.I have taken my original stake off the table. I'll let the rest run, as I think it will. Its recently announced placement was four times oversubscribed.Bitcoin treasury companies are the new sh1tcoins. There will soon be more of them than there are sh1tcoins, the way things are going. It will probably all end in tears - for which we will have the FCA to thank, because it has outlawed investors from buying bitcoin ETFs and the like - but, while the music is playing, we dance. The other possibility, of course, is that productive companies follow the zombie company lead, at which point the entire corporate financial model changes. Every company becoms a bitcoin treasury company. I actually think there's a good chance of this happening, and I'll explain why in a moment.But let me just remind you — and myself — that owning a bitcoin treasury company is not the same as owning bitcoin. It's a speculation, a substitute, but it's not the same.(BTW I bought some bitcoin with Revolut the other day, and I found the process very simple - though I quickly sent the money to another, safer wallet. Strike and CoinCorner are other UK options.)The non-US bitcoin treasury plays are doing better than the US, which is interesting. Strategy (NASDAQ:MSTR) and Semler (NASDAQ:SMLR), for example, are not moving. (They will if bitcoin breaks to new highs above $110,000, as it is trying to do, but for now it's all about the UK and Japan, and the dumb regulations that have created this situation).Gold Is Now Number TwoThis week has seen something of a landmark development, meanwhile. Gold has overtaken the euro to become the second-most held asset by central banks. 20% of central bank reserves are now held in gold, against 16% in euros.Also of considerable note — and largely unreported — US dollar holdings have fallen below 50% for the first time in almost 30 years. They now sit at 46%. De-dollarisation is happening, folks, right in front of our eyes.If you are enjoying this post, please like it, share it and all that stuff. Thank you.This 20% gold figure compares with just 10% ten years ago. I've little doubt this will double again over the next 10 years - and we'll be at 40%.Even ECB Chief Lizard, Christine Lagarde, has noticed. “The accumulation of gold by central banks continued at a record pace,” she says. “Some countries have been actively exploring alternatives to traditional cross-border payment systems.”That last sentence is telling. It further confirms what we all knew was happening. It's not just as a store of value that the US dollar's central role is subsiding, but as a medium of exchange.Gold is reclaiming its historical role as a core international holding. Make sure you own some.If you are buying gold or silver to protect yourself in these ‘interesting' times, the dealer I use and recommend is the Pure Gold Company. Pricing is competitive, quality of service is high. They deliver to the UK, the US, Canada and Europe or you can store your gold with them. Find out more here.In the same press release Lagarde says:“Offering solutions for settling wholesale financial transactions recorded on distributed ledger technology platforms in central bank money will increase the efficiency of European financial markets and the global appeal of the euro.”That's reptilian speak for “the euro CBDC is coming soon”. The EU CBDC Beast could begin as soon as this year. It will be rolled out first at the institutional level. Then it will be forced on the minions (which I don't think will work, by the way, for reasons explained [here] — but that doesn't mean they won't try).Turning to what might prove the Big Kahuna.The Real Crisis: Government Spending Can't StopWe have another rapidly developing plotline, and this announcement was widely overlooked by the press - probably on government orders, but perhaps because, as Occam's Razor would have it, they're thick. It is, in my view, a highly significant development, and is going to open the door to a ton of money-printing.

Diego, a longtime Monero contributor and founder of Cypherstack, discusses Stack Wallet—an open-source, multi-platform wallet for privacy coins—and stresses the importance of user-friendly design in privacy tech. The conversation dives into FCMPs, which will expand Monero's anonymity set from around 16 to potentially every transaction ever made, with only a logarithmic increase in size. Luke, a mathematician and cryptographer, details the recent hurdles involving 'divisors'—key components that improve FCMP efficiency—and how they overcame complex security challenges to develop a secure version now under review by the Monero Research Lab. Diego ranks privacy levels across cryptocurrencies, placing current Monero at a 1, Firo's Lelantus Spark at 4, and Zcash's Halo 2 Orchard at 10. With FCMPs, he believes Monero could reach 9 or 10—on par with Zcash. The discussion also covers post-quantum cryptography as the next big frontier, with Cypherstack already exploring solutions. Despite earlier setbacks, FCMP development is back on schedule, targeting a Q1 2026 deployment pending code compatibility checks led by MRL's Justin Ehrenhofer.

Welcome to perhaps the most consequential grassroots-driven public policy initiative in U.S. history. On June 1st, the Texas state legislature became the fifth in the nation to exercise a little-noted constitutional authority to make gold and silver coin legal tender and “functional money.” The instigator of the Transactional Gold and Silver movement is my friend, Kevin Freeman, the author of the best-seller that launched it, Pirate Money: Discovering the Founders' Plan for Economic Justice and Defeating the Great Reset. Will Governor Greg Abbott now enable Texans and others to have an alternative to paper dollars that are worth ever-less and the totalitarianism-enabling Central Bank Digital Currency the Federal Reserve wants to foist upon us?  Or will he surrender to banking lobbyists indifferent to this mighty blow for freedom and, interestingly, even the opportunity for their industry to benefit from it, too? This is Frank Gaffney.

Amanda Wick discusses her book "The Catalysts: The Accelerating Forces Forging the New World Financial Order" on the evolving global financial and political landscape, including the perceived decline of American empire due to the erosion of dollar dominance and shrinking middle class. She touches on the rise of authoritarian capitalism and technocracy, exemplified by countries where citizens may prioritize economic stability over democratic participation and privacy. She explores bitcoin and CBDC policy under the Trump administration and actions other nations are taking.

00:00:00:00 - 00:00:58:07Trump's Meme Coin Dinner and Geopolitical TensionsIntroduction to the David Knight Show, discussing Trump's meme coin dinner, criticized for overpromising and underdelivering, and rising tensions in Europe due to Germany sending longer-range weapons to Ukraine. 00:02:53:13 - 00:06:35:17Disastrous Trump Meme Coin DinnerAttendees of Trump's meme coin dinner at Trump National Golf Club in Virginia were disappointed with poor-quality food (e.g., subpar halibut, filet mignon, and sides). Investors, including a TikToker who spent $300,000, left hungry and dissatisfied, with some describing the meal as "disgusting" and the event as a letdown. 00:06:35:20 - 00:09:44:04Trump Meme Coin Value Crash Post-TariffsTrump's meme coin value plummeted to $9 per token (from $15) after his tariff announcements, contributing to a broader economic impact. The coin's volatility and negative sentiment (77% negative in a CoinGecko poll) highlight buyer remorse and criticism of Trump's business acumen. 00:40:12:15 - 00:47:33:26Germany Lifts Range Limits on Ukrainian WeaponsGerman Chancellor Friedrich Merz announced the removal of range restrictions on weapons supplied to Ukraine, allowing strikes deep into Russia. This escalation, including potential Taurus missile deliveries, raises concerns about direct conflict with Russia and NATO's involvement. 01:05:48:02 - 01:12:22:02Tesla's Self-Driving FailuresTesla's head of autopilot, Ellie Swamy, admitted the company lags behind competitors like Waymo by years in achieving full self-driving (Level 5 autonomy). Despite Elon Musk's decade-long promises, Tesla remains at Level 2, with autopilot-related deaths highlighting the system's flaws and overestimations by users. 01:13:11:25 - 01:16:48:15BYD's Price Cuts and EV Market StrugglesChina's BYD slashed prices on 22 electric and hybrid models by up to 34% to revive demand amid a global EV market downturn. Tesla faces similar challenges, with high inventory and low trade-in values, signaling a cooling EV craze. 01:16:48:17 - 01:27:30:22Catherine Austin Fitts on Land Grabs and CBDCsInvestment banker Catherine Austin Fitts warns of land centralization and central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) as tools for control. She advocates for investing in local agriculture to secure food supply and resist tyranny, emphasizing CBDCs' potential to restrict spending and enforce compliance. 01:57:37:09 - 01:59:07:22Elon Musk's X Money Beta TestingElon Musk confirmed X Money, a payment and banking app, is in beta testing for a 2025 launch. With 41 money transmitter licenses secured, concerns arise about security due to alleged code leaks and Musk's ties to Trump potentially easing regulatory hurdles 02:05:34:13 - 02:20:45:07Epstein Files and Trump Administration PromisesBilly Ray Valentine discusses Trump's unfulfilled promise to release Jeffrey Epstein files. Kash Patel and Dan Bongino backtrack, claiming Epstein committed suicide, contradicting earlier murder theories. Suspicions arise about cover-ups, possibly for Trump or deeper state actors, with ties to Mossad and CIA suggested. 02:26:27:21 - 02:36:07:06Trump's Police Immunity and Immigration PoliciesTrump's bill proposes nationwide police immunity, unlimited legal funding for cops sued for civil rights violations, and prioritizes immigration over civil rights reviews. Mass deportations target non-criminal immigrants, risking habeas corpus suspension, setting a dangerous precedent for all Americans. 02:54:54:26 - 02:56:22:13Technocratic Agenda and Centralized ControlDiscussion of a technocratic takeover, with figures like Peter Thiel aiming to install a dictator (Trump) via the RAGE doctrine (retire all government employees). Plans for AI-driven centralized control contrast with human mercy, highlighting risks of technocratic "wonderland."
