Bitcoin dropped to $106K after a sudden Friday sell-off, triggering panic across crypto markets—but Swan's team remained calm, stressing the long-term thesis is unchanged.John Haar and Isaiah noted that Bitcoin fell just 10% while altcoins crashed 50–90%, underscoring Bitcoin's liquidity and resilience.The team compared the pullback to past cycles, arguing this is not a cycle top but typical mid-bull market volatility.Discussion on Fed Chair Powell signaling an end to QT and potential rate cuts—seen as a tailwind for Bitcoin as monetary easing returns.John highlighted data showing Bitcoin rose 750% during the Fed's tightening cycle, disproving the myth that Bitcoin only thrives under easy money.A deep dive into the Fed's balance sheet showed that long-dated Treasury holdings have never decreased since 2008, signaling systemic dependence on debt monetization.Chamath Palihapitiya's claim that quantum computing could break Bitcoin in 2–5 years was debunked—experts and developers agree it's decades away and Bitcoin can adapt.The team explored how AI could reshape the economy, potentially displacing workers and pushing governments toward UBI—but also creating new industries and efficiencies.Brady and John debated whether UBI could be socially beneficial or harmful; both agreed Bitcoin offers protection in any fiat debasement scenario.The show wrapped with reactions to Larry Fink's 60 Minutes appearance comparing Bitcoin to gold and Elon Musk's recent positive Bitcoin comments.

The team jokes about “Bitcoin being dead again” after Trump's new tariff threats against China tanked markets and briefly pulled Bitcoin to $117K.They analyze Trump's tariff negotiation style, calling it political theater and a dip-buying opportunity for “active tariff dip buyers.”Discussion on Core V30 debates—Bitcoiners fighting among themselves as a “bear market signal,” contrasting with the historic block size wars.VJ Boyapati's chart shows long consolidation phases in this cycle—evidence of healthier, institutional-driven adoption rather than retail mania.Gold hits $4,000/oz, outperforming U.S. stocks; the hosts link gold's run to the global debasement trade and rising mainstream awareness of sound money.John Haar highlights that despite 40-year-high inflation, global debt-to-GDP barely fell, reinforcing the inevitability of fiscal dominance and currency debasement.Paul Tudor Jones reaffirms Bitcoin as the “fastest horse,” signaling institutional confidence alongside gold.Morgan Stanley opens Bitcoin access to wealth clients—another milestone in mainstream financial adoption.Square launches zero-fee Bitcoin payment integration for merchants, advancing Bitcoin's medium-of-exchange use case.Discussion closes on Lightning yield experiments (8–9% APY) and Luxembourg's sovereign Bitcoin purchase, showcasing Bitcoin's expanding financial utility and global reach.

In this episode of El Niño Speaks, José Niño sat down with Sam Dickson—attorney, lifelong White advocate, and longtime American Renaissance speaker—for a provocative discussion on the collapse of the American Republic and the hard work of building what comes next.We break down why America's experiment in individualism failed, how the ruling class severed the nation from its European roots, and why today's population looks more like a biomass than a real people. Dickson draws lessons from Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union, weighs the genetic and cultural costs of the Civil War and mass immigration, and explains why both capitalism and communism dissolve community. Most importantly, we explore what a post-American nation would require: cohesion, continuity, and leadership by a worthy elite.Follow Sam Dickson's work: https://www.amren.com/author/sam-dickson/Are you concerned about your wealth during this times of economic uncertainty?

José Niño sat down with Jordan B for a blunt autopsy of the American Right and why the Republican establishment keeps turning outrage into obedience, and how the base is nudged from righteous anger back into “vote GOP or else” every single cycle.They start with the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk assassination and the flood of instant fundraising—texts, emails, and moral blackmail—to channel shock into straight-ticket voting. From there, we dissect how MAGA's energy was domesticated, producing headlines instead of deliverables, and why “owning the libs” became a sedative that keeps the Right compliant.Follow Jordan B's work:Twitter: https://x.com/JordanBVide0sYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@JordanBVideos/videosAre you concerned about your wealth during this times of economic uncertainty?

The panel opened with reflections on the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk and other recent violent events, framing them through the lens of The Fourth Turning by Strauss & Howe.Discussion on how history moves in ~80–100 year cycles of crisis and renewal, with Bitcoin and decentralized protocols potentially forming the backbone of the next institutional order.John emphasized perspective, comparing today's turmoil with past upheavals (1960s, 1970s, World Wars), and highlighted the role of media saturation in shaping perceptions.Panelists praised Kirk's willingness to debate respectfully, lamenting the erosion of open dialogue in society.Shifted to macro: China's gold accumulation as a hedge against dollar hegemony, interpreted as part of a global move toward neutral reserve assets—gold today, Bitcoin tomorrow.Deep dive into U.S. financial surveillance: the inefficiencies of the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) and threats of extending the Patriot Act to digital assets. Panelists argued KYC/AML laws are largely ineffective at stopping crime but very effective at surveilling citizens.Highlighted the DOJ's case against Samourai Wallet as an example of U.S. hostility toward Bitcoin privacy tools.Covered this week's major supply-chain attack on NPM packages, noting minimal impact but using it as a PSA: always verify addresses on hardware wallets and beware phishing scams.Tether launched a U.S.-regulated stablecoin (USAT). The panel explored how this intersects with the Genius Act, which would require stablecoin reserves to be in U.S. Treasuries, effectively creating a new forced buyer of U.S. debt.Quick hits: MicroStrategy denied S&P 500 inclusion (for now), BLS quietly revised U.S. job numbers down by 900k, Gemini goes public, and Michael Saylor positions MicroStrategy as a “Bitcoin capital markets” play.

 Major Policy Shift: President Trump signs an executive order directing the Department of Labor to reexamine fiduciary guidance, opening the door for Bitcoin and crypto investments in 401(k) retirement plans — a $9 trillion market.Implementation Timeline: Panel agrees it's medium-to-long-term bullish but may take 1–2 years before Bitcoin ETFs appear broadly in 401(k) offerings due to provider-by-provider approval.Bitcoin vs. Crypto: Hosts stress ongoing need to educate the public on why Bitcoin is different from other cryptocurrencies, as broader “crypto” inclusion could expose investors to higher-risk assets.Regulatory Clarity: Michael Saylor and others call for clearer frameworks to classify assets, separating Bitcoin from altcoins to prevent harmful policy spillover.FED Gold Revaluation Paper: Federal Reserve explores revaluing gold reserves (currently marked at $42/oz) to unlock budget-neutral spending capacity — potentially tied to creating a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.Hidden Inflation Signal: Revaluing gold to current market prices (~$3,500/oz) would implicitly acknowledge an 8%+ annual inflation rate since the gold peg was abandoned.Gold Tariffs & Bitcoin Advantage: Temporary headlines about potential U.S. gold import tariffs spark discussion; Saylor on Bloomberg notes Bitcoin's weightless, borderless nature makes it immune to tariffs.Volatility Compression: Since Bitcoin ETFs launched, 90-day rolling volatility has dropped below 40 — less than 2× gold's — suggesting a structurally different, steadier bull market.Cycle Danger Zone: On-chain analyst Checkmate highlights we're within 30 days of the historical post-halving blow-off top window; debate over whether this cycle breaks the four-year pattern.Central Banking & Money Creation: Clip from Richard Werner explaining commercial banks' ability to create money from nothing sparks discussion on fiat fragility, war financing, and the importance of Bitcoin as sound money.  Swan Private helps HNWI, companies, trusts, and other entities go beyond legacy finance with BItcoin.

Ron Unz joins José Niño for a deep dive into the forgotten history behind America's anti-Communist crusade. Far from being a mindless witch hunt, Unz argues that McCarthyism was a chaotic but justified reaction to earlier left-wing purges—many led by Jewish activists and institutions—during the Roosevelt era.Unz explains how McCarthy's rise was driven by ethnic resentment, particularly among Irish-Catholics, and how Jewish involvement in both Communism and anti-Communism has shaped the historical narrative we've inherited. Unz challenges sanitized accounts of the Red Scare and exposes the power dynamics that still define elite discourse today.Follow Ron Unz' work here:Article: https://www.unz.com/runz/american-pravda-mccarthyism-part-iii-the-jewish-angle/ Website: https://www.unz.com/X/Twitter: https://x.com/UnzReview Are you concerned about your wealth during this times of economic uncertainty?

In this special episode of Swan Signal Live, the team bids a heartfelt farewell to longtime host Steven Lubka as he steps away from his regular role. Steven reflects on nearly five transformative years at Swan, building Swan Private and helping onboard thousands of high-net-worth individuals into Bitcoin. Emotions run high as the crew reminisces on shared experiences and growth.The discussion then dives into major Bitcoin developments:Bitcoin in Mortgages: The FHFA is reportedly guiding Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to recognize Bitcoin as an asset in mortgage underwriting — a shift that could help Bitcoiners qualify more easily without having to sell their holdings.Texas Bitcoin Treasury: Texas becomes the first U.S. state to establish a Bitcoin reserve, allocating $10M in a move widely seen as symbolic but historic.Bitcoin Treasury Companies: The hosts dissect the growing trend of public companies accumulating Bitcoin on their balance sheets, discussing the implications for decentralization, nationalization risks, regulatory arbitrage, and Bitcoin's long-term monetization.ECB's Capital Control Signals: A concerning ECB statement hints at encouraging — or even mandating — retail savings be redirected into government-prioritized capital markets.Institutional Adoption: Billionaire hedge fund manager Philippe Laffont's recent CNBC confession that he regrets not buying Bitcoin sparks a broader conversation about how major allocators are waking up late — but surely — to Bitcoin's potential.Notable Quote:“This is what it looks like when the world really wakes up to Bitcoin” — Steven Lubka Swan Private helps HNWI, companies, trusts, and other entities go beyond legacy finance with BItcoin.

Bitcoin continues its historic streak—43 consecutive days closing above $100,000. The Swan Signal crew dives into what this milestone means, including comparisons to Joe DiMaggio's legendary hitting streak and the waning attention from normies, despite Bitcoin reaching all-time highs.Steven shares insight on why emerging markets and Bitcoin have outperformed, citing Lynn Alden's early calls. Meanwhile, John highlights how the broader TradFi world is just starting to wake up to Bitcoin's disruptive potential—despite cringe moments like Brian Armstrong pitching Bitcoin as a “new” idea or Wall Street macro types clumsily suggesting gold/oil-backed stablecoins from geopolitical rivals.Other key points:Bitcoin treasury plays are seeing early-stage momentum, with large speculative capital still sitting on the sidelines.The Genius Act, recently passed, lays the regulatory groundwork for stablecoins—some say this could bolster dollar dominance while indirectly boosting Bitcoin.Stablecoin growth is explained as a stepping stone to Bitcoin, not a competitor.Discussion on whether the classic 4-year Bitcoin cycle is dead, with some leaning toward a slower, more mature “Saylor Cycle” structure.Notable Quotes:“Listen to Bitcoiners. If you just get your 40 hours per week in, you'll know the answer to all questions in life.”“There's boredom above $100K… and retail is nowhere to be found.” Swan Private helps HNWI, companies, trusts, and other entities go beyond legacy finance with BItcoin.

Trump–Elon “Breakup”: The show kicks off with the high-profile political and cultural split between Donald Trump and Elon Musk. The hosts speculate whether the split was coordinated to help Elon politically, and explore what it says about naive techno-optimism in politics versus the hard constraints of monetary and fiscal reality.“Nothing Stops This Train” Theme: Echoing Lynn Alden and Luke Gromen, the crew reaffirms that the U.S. fiscal path is locked into deficit and debt expansion. Cutting entitlements or defense is politically impossible, and the only off-ramp might be a miraculous AI-driven productivity boom—which is unlikely to come fast enough.Bitcoin as the Hedge: Elon's blind spot may be failing to recognize that broken money, not governance inefficiency, is the core problem. The team discusses how Bitcoin fits as the solution—an asset to protect against monetary debasement and fiscal irresponsibility.Bitcoin Treasury Companies: A major segment explores the rise of corporate entities accumulating Bitcoin via debt and equity markets. The panel rebuts concerns that this resembles the ICO mania of 2017, arguing that debt levels are low, strategies are sound, and this trend is still early.AI and The Fourth Turning: Brady and the team expand on the societal impact of rapid technological change, combining AI, institutional decline, and Bitcoin adoption into a transformative fourth turning moment.Swan Private and Client Stories: They wrap with a heartfelt story about helping a client stay convicted during the FTX collapse, illustrating Swan Private's mission of hands-on, relationship-driven Bitcoin education and wealth preservation.

1. 500K Bitcoin Predictions & Market SentimentThe crew discussed the recent wave of bullish sentiment led by industry voices like Adam Back, Bitfinex analysts, and Vibes Capital. Adam Back predicts $500K–$1M this cycle, while Vibes Capital cites $100B in anticipated corporate treasury demand plus potential U.S. government Bitcoin buys. With consistent ETF inflows, particularly BlackRock's IBIT, and support levels holding near $100K, sentiment is peaking.2. Treasury Demand & Speculative Attack NarrativeMicroStrategy's playbook is now being followed by a growing list of public firms using debt and equity to acquire Bitcoin. The panel emphasized this as a "speculative attack" on fiat—unlocking Bitcoin exposure for capital pools that can't hold spot BTC directly. With more than 500,000 BTC already under corporate control, the race is on.3. Coinbase Hack: $400M FalloutA major hack at Coinbase leaked sensitive customer data (names, addresses, partial SSNs, balances, and IDs). While no private keys were exposed, the breach raised concerns about platform risk. The team praised Coinbase's $20M bounty offer but reiterated the importance of security hygiene and moving to self-custody solutions like Swan Vault.4. Digital Scarcity & FT FiascoFinancial Times drew ire for downplaying Bitcoin's innovation, comparing it to teeth. The panel explained how Bitcoin solved digital scarcity using proof-of-work and decentralized consensus. Lynn Alden's and Pierre Rochard's responses underscored the persistent misunderstanding from legacy media.5. Macroeconomics & Treasury PolicyThe group reviewed new U.S. spending legislation further widening deficits—echoing the "Nothing Stops This Train" meme. Tariff-driven inflation, CPI surprises, and Walmart's price hikes were also covered, with mixed views on future inflation trajectories.6. Global Adoption & Corporate MomentumRecent sovereign and institutional moves included Chinese and Indian firms acquiring BTC, 21.co's big buy, and Abu Dhabi's sovereign fund adding exposure. Meanwhile, Swan's own CIO Ben Workman emphasized the moral and fiduciary pressure mounting on corporate leaders to explore Bitcoin treasuries.

In this episode, the Swan team dives into the week's tumultuous markets, triggered by escalating tariff tensions between the US and China. With sweeping tariff announcements initially roiling equities, a sudden pivot by the administration briefly stabilized stock prices—yet concerns remain about stress in market “plumbing,” particularly negative swap spreads and rising bond yields. The discussion highlights how quickly financial conditions can shift, forcing the Federal Reserve's hand toward potential liquidity measures or yield curve control.On the Bitcoin front, the hosts note that BTC's performance has diverged notably from equities and other risk assets, signaling that institutional involvement—and global macro uncertainty—may be ushering in a new era for Bitcoin. They also explore rumors of Russia and China conducting energy trades in BTC, plus the potential of a US “Strategic Bitcoin Reserve,” as nation-states weigh the benefits of a neutral reserve asset.
