Bitcoin just absorbed a Fed rate hike, the collapse of the CLARITY Act, heavy ETF outflows, rising Treasury yields and brutal macro headwinds — and barely moved.With liquidity turning, inflation pressure building and Washington heading into the midterms, the Bitcoin bull case may be getting stronger, not weaker. We break down the Fed, Kevin Warsh, Trump, Bitcoin ETF flows, the global liquidity cycle and why Q4 could shock this entire market.SPONSORS
The Senate failed to advance the CLARITY Act in a 49 to 50 procedural vote, falling short of the 60 votes required. Bitcoin immediately came under pressure, while hundreds of millions in leveraged crypto positions were liquidated and spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded heavy outflows. But the bigger question is what Washington's latest setback actually means for Bitcoin and crypto regulation going forward.SPONSORS✅ Lednhttps://www.nmj1gs2i.com/9W598/9B9DM/?source_id=podcastSimply Bitcoin clients get 0.25% off their first loanNeed liquidity without selling your Bitcoin?

Why are the most powerful people in AI suddenly calling for a slowdown? Dario Amodei, Sam Altman, Elon Musk and politicians in Washington are escalating the debate over AI regulation, superintelligence and centralized control just as the global AI race accelerates.We follow the money, Peter Thiel's warnings about Armageddon and the Antichrist, and the deeper questions around fear, power, surveillance and programmable money. As artificial intelligence becomes a potential justification for greater government control, Bitcoin may be the one system nobody can switch off.SPONSORS
September 15 could become a major turning point for Bitcoin. The Clarity Act could unlock trillions in liquidity, establish clear rules for digital assets, and strengthen stablecoin demand for US debt. But one political fight over presidential ethics provisions could still derail the entire vote. The outcome could reshape how capital flows into Bitcoin and the broader digital asset economy.SPONSORS✅ Lednhttps://www.nmj1gs2i.com/9W598/9B9DM/?source_id=podcastSimply Bitcoin clients get 0.25% off their first loanNeed liquidity without selling your Bitcoin?

Trump's proposed $5,000 dividend checks could unleash more than $1 trillion in new spending just as Treasury yields surge, inflation heats up, and the U.S. debt crisis gets harder to ignore. Scott Bessent says "I am the house now,” but the bond market may be calling his bluff.In this episode of Truth Block, Hurley breaks down Bitcoin, inflation, Treasury yields, Federal Reserve policy, fiscal dominance, U.S. debt, liquidity, AI, and hard money—and why Washington's next move could be the most bullish Bitcoin signal of 2026.SPONSORS
America is going all in on AI, but the biggest investment opportunity may be the one thing AI cannot create more of. As intelligence, software, and labor become cheaper, Bitcoin's absolute scarcity becomes increasingly valuable. The AI race could reshape global power, destroy traditional economic assumptions, and make 21 million Bitcoin one of the most important numbers in finance.SPONSORS✅ Lednhttps://www.nmj1gs2i.com/9W598/9B9DM/?source_id=podcastSimply Bitcoin clients get 0.25% off their first loanNeed liquidity without selling your Bitcoin?

Trump is floating a $5,000 check for Americans while Bitcoin trades below $80,000 and the U.S. debt continues climbing. The last $1,200 stimulus check would be worth roughly $14,000 if it had been put into Bitcoin, and another round of government spending could make the macro setup even more explosive. Rising debt, persistent inflation, bond market stress, and more stimulus are strengthening the case for scarce money. The question is why anyone would be selling Bitcoin into this setup.SPONSORS✅ Lednhttps://www.nmj1gs2i.com/9W598/9B9DM/?source_id=podcastSimply Bitcoin clients get 0.25% off their first loanNeed liquidity without selling your Bitcoin?

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent just dared traders to bet against the yen, calling himself "the house" with "asymmetric information" on Japanese policy. That's tied to a real currency carry trade that could unwind fast, and when leveraged trades unwind, Bitcoin can get sold right along with everything else. Story two is Metaplanet, where a shareholder's essay on a ballooning executive option pool raises real questions about who benefits when a Bitcoin treasury company issues more shares, even as the company defends its numbers. Story three is the Liquid Network hack, where a software bug let attackers mint fake backed Bitcoin and walk away with real coin, a reminder that a sidechain's security assumptions aren't the same as Bitcoin's. Three different stories, same lesson: know exactly what you own. Then, the case for why Bitcoin matters at all, and a full breakdown of the assumptions behind River's $840,000 model.SPONSORS✅ Lednhttps://www.nmj1gs2i.com/9W598/9B9DM/?source_id=podcastSimply Bitcoin clients get 0.25% off their first loanNeed liquidity without selling your Bitcoin?

Japan dumped $90 billion in US Treasuries as the global financial system faces growing pressure. US interest costs are surging, foreign creditors are protecting their own currencies, and the assets once considered safe are becoming a source of risk. Bitcoin does not need a sudden financial collapse to win, it only needs confidence in government liabilities to keep eroding. That shift could turn Bitcoin from the risky asset into the safe asset.Link to Luke Gromen and Lyn Alden episode on @BTCSessions https://youtu.be/xoAuuJyBg6E?si=r4JXCoEZNxLIRgyVSPONSORS✅ Lednhttps://www.nmj1gs2i.com/9W598/9B9DM/?source_id=podcastSimply Bitcoin clients get 0.25% off their first loanNeed liquidity without selling your Bitcoin?

The Iran war was never really about Iran. Bessent has all but said the plan is to strangle China's oil supply, and if China gets boxed in, the retaliation could hit exactly where it hurts: the chips and components that run the US economy, most of which trace back to TSMC in Taiwan. Trump is already threatening to halt trade with every country the US runs a deficit with unless Fed Chair Warsh cuts rates, and China is no longer the buyer of US debt it used to be. If this economic war escalates, the likely playbook is print, debase, and watch a socialism movement rise on the other side of the inflation, according to David Friedberg's own read on the All-In podcast. Meanwhile Bitcoin ETFs pulled in hundreds of millions in a single day last week, and River's research puts Bitcoin between $250K and $840K by 2030 even without any of this playing out. Zero is the only wrong allocation.SPONSORS✅ Lednhttps://www.nmj1gs2i.com/9W598/9B9DM/?source_id=podcastSimply Bitcoin clients get 0.25% off their first loanNeed liquidity without selling your Bitcoin?

Bitcoin just decoupled from the stock market in a way we've only seen once before — and the last time, Bitcoin went on a historic 9,800% run. With global debt rising, currencies under pressure, Wall Street buying, and the debasement trade accelerating, the setup for Bitcoin may be changing fast. Is this the beginning of Bitcoin's first true parabolic run since 2021, and possibly the biggest since 2013?SPONSORS
Bitcoin just posted its highest close in four months, up nearly $20,000 in 20 days, and triggered one of the largest short liquidation cascades crypto has ever seen. Fed Governor Waller leaning toward holding rates sent it to $82K, then Friday's jobs report blew up the script: 162,000 jobs added against expectations of 55,000, which strips away the Fed's best excuse not to hike on September 16th. Add a sovereign wealth fund talking about cutting Treasury holdings, Blackstone gating withdrawals from its credit fund, and Mohamed El-Erian warning the bond selloff isn't over, and you get a currency war where everyone from China to Japan to Europe is scrambling and the dollar keeps winning anyway. The Porkopolis power law model's Q90 band puts Bitcoin at $800K within two years. This isn't the top. It's the appetizer.SPONSORS✅ Lednhttps://www.nmj1gs2i.com/9W598/9B9DM/?source_id=podcastSimply Bitcoin clients get 0.25% off their first loanNeed liquidity without selling your Bitcoin?

Bitcoin just broke one of its oldest macro relationships. As global bond yields surge, Japan fights to defend the yen, and governments move deeper into financial repression, Bitcoin is holding above $80,000 and beginning to trade more like gold than the Nasdaq.Is Bitcoin finally being repriced as hard money and a global debasement hedge?

Kevin Warsh went full prison rules at Jackson Hole, Bitcoin dumped, and then flashed a signal it has only thrown once before. Last time, that led to an 8x. Meanwhile Scott Bessent is warning a disorderly yen collapse could blow up global markets, and the read here is dollar milkshake theory playing out in real time: starve the world of dollars, force a panic into treasuries, then buy America's own debt back for pennies. Saylor just ended a two month buying pause with a $370 million purchase, the Taliban just declared war on Bitcoin, and BTC is holding near $78K in the middle of all of it. This isn't chaos.

Global money supply just hit a record $150 trillion, up $10.7 trillion in a single year, and Lawrence Lepard says a big print is imminent. It already looks like it's happening. Bitcoin crashed below $77K after US strikes on Iran resumed, wiping out nearly $100 million in an hour, and Ray Dalio thinks the US debt crisis may be entering its final stage. Meanwhile the FDIC's own November 2022 meeting, the one that blew up the internet, has regulators on camera admitting they don't want to scare the public about bail ins, and Cyprus already ran the test in 2013: a 47.5% haircut on savings over €100,000, converted straight into shares of a dead bank. Ursula von der Leyen is floating the same idea for Europe right now. Every time Bitcoin has broken above its 200 day moving average, it's gone ballistic, and the math says the next one could be violent.SPONSORS✅ Lednhttps://www.nmj1gs2i.com/9W598/9B9DM/?source_id=podcastSimply Bitcoin clients get 0.25% off their first loanNeed liquidity without selling your Bitcoin?

Scott Bessent is publicly pushing to cap yields while new Fed Chair Kevin Warsh leans toward a hike, and the read here is that their signaling means rates aren't going anywhere. Meanwhile EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen called Europeans' bank savings lazy and floated putting €10 trillion of it to work for European companies, and Tom Lee is laying out why Q4 could be huge for Bitcoin. None of this is isolated to one country. Every major bond market is under stress, every government is eyeing the same pile of savings, and Bitcoin just had its best August since 2017, up 25% in a month that's historically one of its worst. This isn't a US problem or a European problem. It's why Bitcoin exists everywhere at once.SPONSORS✅ Lednhttps://www.nmj1gs2i.com/9W598/9B9DM/?source_id=podcastSimply Bitcoin clients get 0.25% off their first loanNeed liquidity without selling your Bitcoin?

New Fed Chair Kevin Warsh finally took the podium at Jackson Hole, and while the algo traders got their rate clues, the bigger signal was buried underneath. Warsh's own words point to power quietly shifting from the Fed to the Treasury, and Twenty One Capital CEO Raphael Zagury explains why that shift hands Bitcoin a new role in the financial system. Gold carries a $30 trillion monetary premium, real estate $300 trillion, and Bitcoin is still sitting at $1.5 trillion. If the rules for money are actually changing, Bitcoin doesn't need to replace the dollar. It just needs to capture a sliver of the hundreds of trillions looking for an exit.SPONSORS✅ Lednhttps://www.nmj1gs2i.com/9W598/9B9DM/?source_id=podcastSimply Bitcoin clients get 0.25% off their first loanNeed liquidity without selling your Bitcoin?

The Fed is trapped between inflation, rising debt costs and a bond market it can't afford to ignore. Now Bitcoin is pushing back toward $80,000 as large spot buyers enter, Fidelity sees Bitcoin separating from traditional assets, and a nearly decade-long technical signal approaches confirmation.

Bitcoin just broke a major 5-year trend against gold as institutional capital, family offices, and global liquidity begin rotating into hard assets.

Bitcoin just broke $80,000 as gold surges, the dollar weakens, and the Treasury signals it may step deeper into the bond market. Stanley Druckenmiller is warning that Washington risks fighting the most powerful market on Earth, while Matt Cole sees multiple forces aligning for an even stronger Bitcoin cycle.

Bitcoin just crossed a critical moving average as trouble builds inside the world's most important financial market. Treasury buybacks are doubling, a $1 trillion cash balance could enter the equation, and Stanley Druckenmiller is warning Washington to let the bond market speak.

Bitcoin just delivered its biggest dollar week ever as the U.S. Treasury considers tapping nearly $1 trillion in its own account to support the bond market. With a historic Bitcoin short squeeze, weakening dollar, fiscal dominance, institutional ETF flows, gold revaluation talk, and Washington openly entering the “endgame,” is BTC finally beginning the parabolic run this cycle never had?

Bitcoin just ripped 22%, triggering one of its rarest statistical signals of the last decade while billions flow back into ETFs. But the bigger catalysts may still be ahead as markets wait on Kevin Warsh at Jackson Hole, the Clarity Act vote, and growing pressure from the global debt crisis. With Ray Dalio now pointing toward Bitcoin and other non-government money, the case is building that this rally could be much bigger than a short squeeze.SPONSORS✅ Lednhttps://www.nmj1gs2i.com/9W598/9B9DM/?source_id=podcastSimply Bitcoin clients get 0.25% off their first loanNeed liquidity without selling your Bitcoin?

Bitcoin just ripped toward $80,000, wiping out weeks of bearish predictions and creating a $13 billion swing for Michael Saylor in roughly 48 hours. Behind the rally sits a much bigger story: $40 trillion in US debt, Treasury intervention, potential yield curve control and growing pressure to debase the dollar. Arthur Hayes says explicit yield curve control could send Bitcoin straight toward $500,000, while even Ray Dalio is pointing investors toward hard money.SPONSORS✅ Lednhttps://www.nmj1gs2i.com/9W598/9B9DM/?source_id=podcastSimply Bitcoin clients get 0.25% off their first loanNeed liquidity without selling your Bitcoin?

Paul Tudor Jones warned nearly two years ago that a Minsky moment could hit global debt markets, and his thesis is starting to look increasingly relevant.

Bitcoin just triggered the biggest short squeeze in its history as Treasury bond buybacks, surging yields, and Scott Bessent's intervention sent shockwaves through global markets. With Bitcoin reclaiming its 200-day moving average and billions in shorts liquidated, is this the start of a new bull market breakout, or a dangerous fake-out?

The bond market is cracking, the yen carry trade is unwinding, and Bitcoin didn't blink. Economist Steve Keen, who called 2008 years in advance, says the same private debt bomb is back, bigger, and he's calling it the Trump Depression. Behind the scenes, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is quietly revaluing gold off a 1970s book price of $42 an ounce, and that same trick could fund the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. Add Saifedean Ammous on why Bitcoin has to out-decentralize gold, and Samson Mow's new Omega 60 model pointing at $1 million Bitcoin by 2031, and two completely different sets of math keep landing on the same number.

Tether is holding more than 100,000 Bitcoin and 150 tons of gold, while major investors debate which asset can actually serve a global digital economy.

55 years ago, Nixon ended the dollar's convertibility to gold and changed the monetary system forever. This is why Bitcoin exists!

Bitcoin's BIP-110 soft fork briefly split the chain—but the failed Bitcoin fork may have proven the opposite of corporate capture: nobody, from Michael Saylor and BlackRock to miners and node operators, can unilaterally change Bitcoin's rules. Meanwhile, the Bank of Japan and U.S. Treasury spent an estimated $87 billion defending the yen as Jamie Dimon exposed what truly supports the dollar's reserve-currency status. This episode connects Bitcoin consensus, mining centralization, self-custody, hashrate, fiscal dominance, inflation, capital flows, and the accelerating search for neutral digital money.SPONSORS
Bitcoin actually split into two competing chains, and for a few minutes its latest civil war stopped being theoretical. BIP-110 put miners, nodes and Bitcoin's consensus mechanism to a real-world test, with 99.85% of hash power ultimately continuing on the Core chain.

The government promised you clarity on Bitcoin. What you actually got: developers in handcuffs, a "strategic reserve" built on an executive order — not a law, not an act, not an amendment — a CLARITY Act riddled with national security carve-outs and an ethics clause that nearly torched the whole thing, and a DOJ quietly deploying Minority Report-style pre-crime AI to flag your wallet before you've done anything wrong.
