In this explosive breakdown, Kerry Lutz of the Financial Survival Network explores the radical theory that Washington has been quietly hoarding massive amounts of BTC—possibly over a million coins—through seizures, covert acquisitions, and even Satoshi Nakamoto's original stash.  Could skyrocketing Bitcoin prices allow America to wipe out its debt in one move?

From the collapse of FTX and the takedown of SBF to the sudden approval of Bitcoin ETFs and the rise of the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, the pieces may already be in place.

The discussion focused on the current economic landscape, highlighting concerns about the potential for a bear market as the S&P's recent highs lack broader market support. Jim Welsh pointed out that uncertainty surrounding President Trump's proposed tariffs could lead to a recession, particularly as consumer confidence declines and inflation expectations rise.
