The financial system is moving fast — and XRP keeps showing up exactly where the next phase of money is being built. Mastercard is sponsoring the XRP Ledger Hackathon in New York just ahead of Ripple Swell. At the same time, 39 U.S. state banking associations are launching the BankChain Alliance to explore tokenized deposits, stablecoins, and smart payments. Crypto-backed mortgages are moving into the mainstream. AI-driven finance is expanding on XRPL. Hedera is pushing blockchain directly into AI development tools. And Michael Saylor is still stacking Bitcoin at a scale almost nobody else can match. These are not isolated headlines. They point to the same thing: The line between traditional finance and digital assets is disappearing. And if XRP is already positioned inside the rails being built for payments, tokenization, stablecoins, and agentic finance... there may be NO GOING BACK. Tonight on On The Chain, Jeff and Chip break down: • Mastercard's move into the XRP Ledger ecosystem • Why the XRPL Hackathon ahead of Ripple Swell matters • 39 state banking associations building blockchain infrastructure • Tokenized deposits, stablecoins, and smart payments • Crypto-backed mortgages moving into traditional finance • The rise of agentic finance on XRPL • Hedera, AI tools, and the emerging machine economy • Michael Saylor's latest Bitcoin move • What all of this could mean for XRP and the broader crypto market SUPPORT ON THE CHAIN ☕ Badassery Coffee https://badasserycoffee.com

Casey Rodarmor and Erin Redwing dive deep into Paul Sztorc's eCash Bitcoin fork and the return of the Bitcoin fork wars. The fork implements Drivechain through BIP 300 and BIP 301, allowing Bitcoin to support side chains for privacy, prediction markets, decentralized exchanges, assets, DNS, post-quantum cryptography, and more — without adding those features directly to Bitcoin Core.We break down how hashrate escrow and blind merge mining actually work, the seven proposed Drivechain side chains, the controversial redistribution of 500,000 of Satoshi's coins, and the central question hanging over the entire proposal: can Bitcoin miners actually be trusted to make this work?Get bonus content by subscribing to @hellmoneypod on X: https://x.com/hellmoneypod/creator-subscriptions/subscribeOr support the podcast by sending a BTC donation: bc1qztncp7lmcxdgude4px2vzh72p2yu2aud0eyzys ORDINALS SHIRT: https://shop.inscribing.com/products/ordinals-protocol-shirtTIMESTAMPS:0:00 Intro8:18 Fork Wars: Paul Sztorc's eCash Bitcoin Fork11:17 What is Drivechain?

Was this the greatest week in crypto history? On this episode of The Crypto Rundown, host Mark Longo is joined by Pat Wood, President and CEO of DelphX Capital Markets, to break down an explosive week across the cryptocurrency markets. Bitcoin comes roaring back with a massive rally and surging ETF inflows, while activity and volatility heat up in IBIT and MSTR. We examine what the move means for Bitcoin traders, whether this rally has staying power, and why Pat believes the next generation of digital asset treasuries needs to think beyond simply buying and holding. Then we venture into the Altcoin Universe, where the rally is spreading fast. Ethereum finally wakes up, Solana shows signs of life, XRP surges, and HYPE/Hyperliquid continues to generate serious buzz. We also examine the wild options activity in ETHA, BMNR, Circle (CRCL), and PUR, including the rush for upside exposure as crypto traders embrace the rally. Plus, we discuss: Bitcoin's monster weekly rally and whether it can continue The resurgence in IBIT options volume and volatility MSTR, Michael Saylor and the future of digital asset treasury strategies Using covered calls and collars in crypto Ethereum's dramatic comeback The latest action in Solana, XRP, Dogecoin and other altcoins The growing excitement surrounding Hyperliquid and HYPE Why crypto market structure may be entering a new phase

Michael Saylor's war chest. Strategy raised about $2 billion last week and created a new "USD Cash" pool, giving it $6.69 billion in dollar liquidity that can be used to buy more bitcoin, repurchase shares, or repay debt. The company left its 840,447 BTC untouched for a second straight week.

MSTR down 73% since last year. Michael Saylor says a Strategy share buyback isn't a priority, but he'd consider it if MSTR trades at a deep enough discount to net asset value. The stock is down about 73% year-over-year as Strategy builds a $4.8 billion cash reserve.

Michael Saylor and Phong Le sat down with Natalie Brunell to take questions directly from Strategy investors — including some pointed concerns about MSTR's sharp drawdown, dilution and whether common shareholders are still the company's top priority. One investor said he put $73,000 into MSTR for each of his three children, only to see each investment fall to roughly $20,000. He asked Saylor and Le directly: have common shareholders become Strategy's lowest priority?

Bitcoin staat al maanden stabiel boven de 60.000 dollar, deze week rond de 63.800 dollar. Nieuws zoals de grote hack bij de Coldcardwallets heeft nauwelijks nog effect op de koers. Het is oersaai op de cryptomarkt, en dat kan een teken zijn dat het grootste leed achter de rug is. Ook altcoins als Solana, XRP en Ethereum staan stil. Toch verkopen grote partijen relatief veel bitcoin, waaronder Strategy van Michael Saylor. Het bedrijf verkocht afgelopen week opnieuw 1.690 bitcoin, ter waarde van ongeveer 100 miljoen dollar, om eigen aandelen terug te kopen die in Saylors ogen goedkoop zijn geworden. Topman Phong Le beloofde dat Strategy weer bitcoin gaat kopen zodra de aandeelprijs hoger staat. Ook van een andere kant blijft er verkoopdruk komen: de miners. Beursgenoteerde partijen die jarenlang met geleend geld investeerden in mining apparatuur om hun bitcoin niet te hoeven verkopen, kijken nu massaal naar AI. In het eerste kwartaal van dit jaar verkochten miners samen zo'n 32.000 bitcoin, en ook deze zomer gaat de verkoop door. Miners houden hun munten niet langer vast, maar investeren liever in nieuwe AI apparatuur, omdat dat nu meer oplevert. De gevolgen van de Coldcardhack zijn nog steeds voelbaar. Duizenden bitcoingebruikers zagen hun munten verdwijnen doordat een fout in de firmware van de wallet eenvoudig te misbruiken bleek. Vermoedelijk werd de kwetsbaarheid ontdekt met hulp van AI. Waar eerder werd gedacht dat bitcoin en de projecten eromheen sowieso veilig waren, is er nu een Bitcoin Red Team ontstaan dat met AI naar kwetsbaarheden zoekt. Dat levert al resultaten op: honderden tot duizenden kwetsbaarheden bij in totaal 390 projecten. Onderzoeker Rob Hamilton, een van de initiatiefnemers, spreekt van 85 kritieke vondsten en 635 kwetsbaarheden met hoge urgentie. Dat dit hard nodig is bleek vorige week vrijdag, toen een kwetsbaarheid in de betaalsoftware van BTCPayServer werd ontdekt en direct misbruikt, waarbij voor enkele tienduizenden dollars aan bitcoin werd gestolen. Deze week in de Cryptocast Een gesprek met Mauro Halve en Kim Schneider, beide experts op het gebied van stablecoins. En we gaan dieper in op cryptowetgeving die Donald Trump al wél door het congres heeft gekregen: de GENIUS Act, die speciaal ontworpen is voor die stablecoins. Daar zitten namelijk heel wat interessante componenten aan, bijvoorbeeld dat het voor Big Tech zo goed als verboden is om een eigen stablecoin uit te geven. Mooi geworden! Bouwfout in Coldcardfirmware leidt tot 116 miljoen dollar schade Strategy verkoopt 1.690 bitcoin voor terugkoop eigen aandelen Bitcoinminers verkopen recordaantal munten en investeren in AI Bitcoin Red Team vindt duizenden kwetsbaarheden in 390 projecten Kritieke kwetsbaarheid in BTCPayServer leidt tot diefstal fondsen Cryptocast 442B | Hoe geniaal is de Amerikaanse GENIUS act?

Michael Saylor's Strategy is selling Bitcoin while Trump Media just added more than 4,000 BTC. Jackson Mikalic, Brian Cubellis, Liam Nelson, and Michael Tanguma put four stories on the shot clock. They break down Strategy selling another 1,690 BTC as its USD reserve hits $4.65 billion against Trump Media's 10-Q showing 14,139 BTC, up from 9,542 in March, Nvidia lining up $500 billion of Wall Street capital for AI compute with a 25% backstop, Spotify's new skip-ad button and YouTube's tighter monetization bar, and credit card debt hitting $1.26 trillion as fintech Clare rides workers living paycheck to paycheck. Where's the signal, and where's the noise?---

Greg Foss is back. After stepping away from Twitter and spending time on Nostr, the veteran credit analyst explains what pulled him back: young people reaching for socialism, and credit markets he sees as far less healthy than equities. The credit default swap thesis. Foss walks through his method: take the CDS spread on U.S. government debt, multiply by total obligations including unfunded liabilities, then compare that to Bitcoin's market cap. He flagged his spread number as from memory. Why insurance, not a risk asset. Most holdings are short volatility: when volatility rises, they fall. Foss argues Bitcoin should do the opposite, and credits BlackRock's Larry Fink as one of the few in traditional finance framing it that way. The rate the Fed does not control. Warsh has suggested AI productivity gains leave room to cut. Foss points instead to the 10-year Treasury, set in the open market, which could rise if investors demand more for U.S. credit risk. Credit markets are flashing before equities. A listener asked about widening CDS spreads across AI infrastructure names. Foss compared NVIDIA's vendor financing to Nortel and Lucent in 2000, and pointed to CoreWeave's tight debt service covenant. Banking is a leveraged business. From inside an insolvent Bank of Boston in 1992, Foss saw the math up close: roughly $5 of equity behind every $100 loaned. He argues Bitcoin can act as a safety net against that fragility. Bitcoin mining versus AI data centers. Miners can switch off in seconds and chase stranded energy; AI workloads cannot. Suze raised UK curtailment spending and ERCOT's grid balancing record, and asked whether mining gets built into AI sites. What the ETFs changed. Foss says a Wall Street wrapper was necessary for institutional allocation, while raising the paper Bitcoin question. He runs a 5% of global assets thought experiment, stressing he is not certain it happens. Treasury companies as an evolution, not an endpoint. Foss says he admires Michael Saylor without admiring every lever pulled, notes the premium to underlying Bitcoin has collapsed toward parity, and expects these vehicles to matter less over time. Bitcoin as collateral, and pensions inching in. Foss calls Bitcoin pristine collateral and a natural extension of lending.

Mentor Sessions Ep. 086: Doomberg and Simon Dixon break down oil markets, the Strait of Hormuz, the end of globalism, Bitcoin centralization, and Michael Saylor's Strategy.The forever war is quietly reaching its endgame, the dollar is set to weaken hard over the next decade, and Bitcoin was attacked from every direction at once — Doomberg and Simon Dixon unpack what real capital already knows.In this deep macro conversation you'll learn why oil never hit $150 and what the sub-$90 Brent price is actually signaling, why the Strait of Hormuz is a card Iran can only play once, and how China may have already won without firing a shot. You'll see Simon Dixon lay out what MicroStrategy's Strategy is really built for — funneling as much Bitcoin as possible into Coinbase and Fidelity — and why holding shares instead of coins makes Bitcoin weaker. You'll also hear a self-described no-coiner and gold bug explain exactly why he'd still tell you to get long Bitcoin as the Western financial system unwinds. This is part one of two.⏱️ Timestamps:0:00 - Intro1:36 - Doomberg and Simon Dixon on Global Shifts2:07 - Shipping Choke Points Unwind Globalism5:10 - Western Media Propaganda Exposed8:14 - How Media Gets Captured by Power12:13 - Real Purpose of Ukraine and Middle East Wars22:38 - Biggest Empire Change in Our Lifetime25:18 - Why Everything Depends on Beijing28:35 - West Captured by Financial Industrial Complex39:43 - Reading Oil Gold and Bond Markets45:17 - Is Blackrock Weaker Than Its Reputation53:25 - Building Mental Models for Information Overload59:23 - What Energy Markets Are Really For1:06:13 - Why Oil Below $90 Risks Greater War1:09:07 - Real Capital Knows the Deal Is Coming1:16:34 - Coldcard Hack and Contested Bitcoin Fork1:17:50 - Doomberg on Bitcoin Encryption Vulnerabilities1:24:00 - Self Custody Custody Risk and Sovereignty1:36:24 - Michael Saylor Willingness to Sell Bitcoin1:39:52 - What Strategy Is Built to Achieve1:48:54 - Where to Find Doomberg and Simon DixonMentioned in this episode: Doomberg's forthcoming book on analysis and mental models, Simon Dixon's book "Game of Money," abundant mines hosting, and BTC Mentor for secure self-custody setup.

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

Ruim een week na de hack van de Coldcard is de rust in de bitcoinwereld nog niet teruggekeerd. Het aantal slachtoffers loopt nog op en het gestolen bedrag is de grens van honderd miljoen dollar voorbij. De oorzaak lag niet bij de gebruikers maar in de software. Door een fout in de firmware werd de seed, de reeks woorden waarmee een wallet te herstellen is, aangemaakt met een softwarematige toevalsgenerator in plaats van de hardwarematige die er hoorde te zitten. Wie zijn seed op die manier heeft laten maken, kan die door een aanvaller laten narekenen. Op de blockchain is het gevolg goed te zien. In een week verhuisde ongeveer 210.000 bitcoin uit wallets van langetermijnhouders, de grootste uitstroom sinds december 2024. Dat is geen paniekverkoop maar een verhuizing, naar nieuwe wallets, naar bewaarpartijen met een vergunning en naar bitcoin ETF's. Daarmee komt de vraag op of volledig eigen beheer nog wel de veiligste route is, of dat een spreiding tussen eigen beheer en een rekening bij een bekende partij verstandiger uitpakt. Ondertussen is er een tegenbeweging opgestaan. Het Bitcoin Red Team, een groep vrijwilligers, laat AI de opensourcesoftware rondom bitcoin nalopen op dezelfde soort fouten. In de eerste 27,5 uur legden zestien onderzoekers 4.962 meldingen vast over 390 projecten, waarvan 85 als kritiek werden aangemerkt en 635 als ernstig. Niet het bitcoinprotocol zelf is het doelwit, maar de wallets, tools en toepassingen eromheen. Dat AI de fout in de Coldcard vond in code waar jaren niemand naar had gekeken, laat zien dat dezelfde techniek beide kanten dient. Coinkite, het bedrijf achter de Coldcard, was al eerder gewezen op risico's in de eigen software en heeft dat nu in een openbaar verslag vastgelegd. De volatiliteit op de cryptomarkt is extreem laag en de bitcoinkoers schommelt al weken tussen de 63 en 65 duizend dollar. De vraag is of dat aan de vakantieperiode ligt of dat er meer aan de hand is, en of we van een bodem in deze bearmarkt mogen spreken. Tot slot BIP-110. Bij blok 961.632 begon de verplichte signaleringsperiode van dit voorstel, dat niet financiële data zoals afbeeldingen tijdelijk uit bitcointransacties wil weren. De keten splitste zich, maar de afsplitsing produceerde in acht uur twee blokken terwijl de hoofdketen er 48 bij kreeg. De steun onder miners blijft rond 2,5 procent, ver onder de drempel van 55 procent. Michael Saylor riep in een essay met 110 argumenten op het voorstel te verwerpen. Voor wie bitcoin heeft, verandert er niets. Co-hosts zijn Kim Schneider en Mauro Halve. Over de podcast Cryptocurrency are here to stay.

Bitcoin remains stuck near $65,000 while markets wait for the next major macro signal from CPI and the Federal Reserve. Matt also revisits Strategy after the company sold another 1,690 Bitcoin for roughly $108 million, questioning how the company's increasingly complex mix of preferred dividends, cash reserves, stock issuance, debt management, and selective Bitcoin sales fits with Michael Saylor's long-running “buy Bitcoin forever” message. The episode also covers Robinhood expanding crypto trading in the UK, Standard Chartered projecting tokenized real-world assets could reach $4 trillion by 2030, the CLARITY Act returning for a key Senate vote in September, and the continuing fight over stablecoin yield and crypto ethics rules. Matt closes with concerns about long-term quantum security, including the possibility that an eventual quantum attack could initially look like an ordinary wallet breach rather than an obvious system-wide failure.

In this Crypto Rundown, Tevo and Brian McNutt break down a choppy but improving crypto market, with Bitcoin holding in the mid-$60,000 range, Ethereum gaining more institutional momentum, and Solana continuing to show signs of activity. They discuss the Clarity Act vote being pushed back to September, why the market may have already priced in the delay, and why crypto could still move forward through SEC and CFTC action even without immediate legislation. The episode also covers Tom Lee's thesis that crypto is downstream from AI, the rise of on-chain financial apps, tokenized equities, meme coins paired with stocks, and Robinhood Chain bringing new energy back into the trenches.Check out Omaha Steaks and use my code BEEF for a great deal: https://www.omahasteaks.comCheck out Quince: https://quince.com/CRYPTO101Check out Shopify: https://shopify.com/crypto101Check out ShipStation and use my code crypto for a great deal: https://www.shipstation.comCheck out NPR: https://npr.orgGet my #1 altcoin pick for this month.Get immediate access to my entire crypto portfolio for just $1.00 today! Get your FREE copy of "Crypto Revolution" and start making big profits from buying, selling,Get immediate access to my entire crypto portfolio.. just $1.00 today!

Op het eerste gezicht was het een rustige week voor de cryptomarkt: bitcoin staat op zo'n 64.900 dollar, omgerekend 55.900 euro, een procent hoger dan de week ervoor, en ethereum blijft dicht bij de 1.900 dollar. Onder die stabiele koersen speelde ander nieuws: de grootste bitcoindiefstal van het jaar en de eerste keer dat Michael Saylor daadwerkelijk bitcoin verkocht. Op het bitcoinnetwerk zelf was het de drukste week van 2026, met gebruikers die hun munten in paniek verplaatsten. Die diefstal draait om de Coldcard, een hardware wallet van het Canadese bedrijf Coinkite waarmee gebruikers hun bitcoin zelf bewaren, los van een handelsplatform. Sinds 2021 zat er een fout in de software waardoor het apparaat bij het aanmaken van een wallet een herstelzin genereerde uit veel minder mogelijke combinaties dan bedoeld, waardoor aanvallers die zinnen op afstand konden narekenen zonder het apparaat aan te raken. Op 30 juli werd in 41 minuten meer dan duizend bitcoin weggesluisd. De teller staat nu op ongeveer 1.600 bitcoin, met minstens vijftien actieve aanvallers. Coinkite vermoedt dat AI de vijf jaar oude fout heeft gevonden. De hack raakt de kernbelofte van bitcoin: bewaar je munten zelf, niet op een beurs. Binancetopman CZ noemde coins statistisch veiliger op een handelsplatform. De NOS meldt dat onduidelijk is of er Nederlandse slachtoffers zijn, maar in de eigen community zijn ze er wel: sommigen kwijt, anderen op tijd verplaatst dankzij extra veiligheidsmaatregelen. Wie nog een Coldcard gebruikt en niet heeft verplaatst, doet dat nu het best. In Washington begint vrijdag het zomerreces van de Senaat, en de Clarity Act lijkt de eindstreep niet meer te halen. Een ethiekpakket rond Trump zorgde voor vertraging, en JPMorgan waarschuwt dat verder uitstel meer druk op de cryptomarkten legt. Michael Saylor verkocht deze week voor het eerst bitcoin: Strategy verkocht 1.638 munten met verlies en haalde daarnaast geld op met de verkoop van eigen aandelen. Saylor zelf zegt persoonlijk niets te hebben verkocht, want Strategy is een beursgenoteerd bedrijf en niet zijn portemonnee. Deze week in de Cryptocast Een gesprek met Ivar Wiersma van LayerZero.

Scott Melker, host of The Wolf of All Streets, explains why most people chasing quick wins in crypto never make it, and why his own strategy is deliberately boring: mostly Bitcoin, bought on a schedule and left alone. He also opens up about being a top creditor in the Voyager collapse, his first interview with Michael Saylor, and why he thinks crypto Twitter is actively hurting mainstream adoption.THE SHIFT NEWSLETTER

Matty A. and Ryan Breedwell discuss the latest market movements driving the S&P 500 to new all-time highs on this Wise Investor Segment. They unpack the impact of the recent FOMC meeting, where interest rates were held steady, and analyze how geopolitical tensions and negotiations are driving down global oil prices. The hosts also explore the realities of the real estate market, noting that high mortgage rates are squeezing retail buyers while creative financing remains the primary path forward for commercial investors.Additionally, the hosts share actionable investment strategies, taking a close look at massive earnings jumps from AI-driven companies like Palantir, and discussing the long-term outlook for space exploration and robotics equities. They also reveal the dangers of over-leveraging by exploring the rapid liquidation of Leopold Aschenbrenner's hedge fund by Citadel, and provide critical advice on how to vet financial advisors using public SEC disclosures to uncover hidden fees.KEY TOPICS DISCUSSEDS&P 500 all-time highs and the macroeconomic forces behind the market rallyPalantir's explosive earnings and the technical mechanics of stock gap fillingFederal Reserve rate hold decisions and Kevin Warsh's economic commentaryThe impact of Middle East negotiations on global oil prices and inflationMicroStrategy's Bitcoin sell-off and Michael Saylor's corporate historyThe liquidation of Leopold Aschenbrenner's multi-billion dollar hedge fund by CitadelWhy traditional financial advisory firms charge exorbitant fees for generic mutual fundsUsing the SEC Investment Adviser Public Disclosure website to vet financial plannersKEY TAKEAWAYSLeverage in investing can wipe out incredible gains; even a portfolio up over a thousand percent can be liquidated entirely if over-leveraged during market volatility.High-net-worth investors view taxes as a simple byproduct of making money, rather than avoiding them at the cost of liquidity and complex financial gymnastics.The national average 30-year fixed mortgage rate sits near 6.78%, making real estate entry difficult for retail buyers without creative financing or substantial equity.Investors should verify a financial advisor's fiduciary status and disclosure history through the SEC's public database to avoid bad actors and high-fee, non-discretionary models.CONNECT & TAKE ACTIONImagos Income Fund: Text "INCOME" or "DEALS" to 844-447-1555 to learn more about Matty A's private debt fund targeting 10% fixed returns paid out monthly.Visit skylineocresidences.com to discover luxury condo ownership at Skyline OC, Orange County's tallest residential tower.

David Siemer still sees a chance the CLARITY Act gets passed in Congress, but admits it is not a great chance. He addresses the pullback in Bitcoin calling it a "reversion to the mean" as well as the perceived winners in on-chain tokenized solutions like Ethereum. David also weighs in on Michael Saylor and Strategy's (MSTR) decision to sell some of its Bitcoin holdings.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

In this episode of The Wrap with Chris Whalen, Chris breaks down why the stablecoin boom may be running out of road — giving the Clarity Act less than 50/50 odds and arguing it could strip the yield out of coins, force issuers offshore, and turn the survivors into banks. He makes the case that stablecoins are little more than "prepaid gift cards," lays out why he's bullish on gold and silver as central banks and China chase physical metal, and warns that real inflation — measured by commodity inputs like energy and sulfur (up 150% since the Iran war), not the CPI — is closing in on double digits. Whalen also sees the 10-year Treasury pushing past 5% and mortgages settling into a "higher for longer" 6.5–7%, flags the mortgage sector as the earnings story to watch, takes aim at Michael Saylor and MicroStrategy, points to safer places to find yield, and keeps circling back to one unsettling parallel: today looks a lot like the 1920s, right before the party ended.Thank you to our sponsor, Monetary Metals.

Rather than build another pure-play Bitcoin treasury stock, Orange Juice buys cash-flowing, unglamorous businesses and layers a Bitcoin treasury on top at the parent-company level. Lyn Alden, cofounder of Orange Juice and a partner at Ego Death Capital, frames it as a countercyclical alternative to procyclical treasury companies, and she does not spare Strategy from criticism. She compares Orange Juice's structure to Berkshire Hathaway and argues Strategy let its dollar reserve fall too far, weighing in as Laura invokes Michael Saylor's 'sell a kidney' line and STRC's slide to near $85 against its $100 target. She also addresses BIP-110's inscription debate and Bitcoin's quantum computing threat, questioning whether the community's resistance to change is a strength or a liability.

Cafe Bitcoin returns for 50 Days for Bitcoin — Day 1 of 50. Cory Klippsten reboots the daily Cafe Bitcoin show to kick off Swan's 50 Days for Bitcoin campaign: 50 basis point buy fees for 50 days (July 21 to September 8), daily weekday Spaces at 10:00 AM ET, and a return to the education-first roots that built the Bitcoin community on Clubhouse in 2020-2021. In this episode: 50 Days for Bitcoin launch: Swan cuts its buy fee in half to 50 bps for 50 days, the lowest-cost way to buy Bitcoin into self-custody in the US. Over 80% of the Bitcoin ever bought on Swan is in self-custody. "The Battle for Monetary Independence": Cory's new essay, woven around his grandfather's war journal from the USS Yorktown in the Pacific Theater. Political independence was the founders' great work; monetary independence is ours. Read it at swan.com/battle. The Clubhouse origin story: how Cafe Bitcoin started, the invite tree that flooded Clubhouse with thousands of Bitcoiners, how Swan Private and Anchor Watch grew out of those rooms. The freedom backslide: UK under-16 social media ban, the Utah VPN ban, age verification for AI chatbots, EU chat control, and the digital euro. Why the counter to all of it is self-custody. Dollar merchants: how stablecoins turned more than half the industry into dollar salesmen, and why the dollar is not a gateway drug to Bitcoin. Saifedean's cocktail party problem: why socialism is winning arguments right now, and why the answer is opting out of politics entirely and building on Bitcoin. Self-custody, the full stack: free auto-withdrawal with locally derived addresses, Swan Sovereign guided self-custody, Swan Vault collaborative custody, and Swan Safe segregated custody. Community: Pacific Bitcoin memories, BIP-47 paynyms explained, Bobby Burnett's new show for the older generation, the no-BIP-fights house rule, and the Snow Crash reading club pick.

Swan Signal Live celebrated its 250th episode, with Brady reflecting on the show's evolution since 2020 and its early multi-guest format. Brady and Isaiah discussed Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas' “too big to fail” thesis, arguing that U.S. equities have effectively become America's national savings account, increasing the likelihood of future government intervention to support stock prices. The conversation explored how the erosion of fiat currency's store-of-value function has pushed savers into financial assets, reinforcing Bitcoin's role as a superior monetary asset. The hosts analyzed Strategy's sale of 3,588 BTC, arguing it was a strategic move to strengthen its case for S&P 500 inclusion rather than a change in Michael Saylor's long-term Bitcoin thesis. They covered delays surrounding the U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, noting ongoing disputes between government agencies over control while highlighting the lack of meaningful Bitcoin accumulation so far. Brady criticized the growing overlap between politics and crypto, arguing that President Trump's crypto-related business activities have complicated prospects for the CLARITY Act and broader crypto legislation. They reviewed recent ETF outflows alongside aggressive whale accumulation, suggesting experienced Bitcoin holders are buying while institutional ETF investors have been selling during the recent market weakness. The discussion examined Bitcoin miners increasingly allocating computing infrastructure to AI workloads, concluding that the trend is likely beneficial for both miners and the long-term Bitcoin network. Vanguard's search for a Head of Digital Assets was highlighted as another sign that major traditional financial institutions continue moving toward Bitcoin despite previous skepticism. The episode concluded with an overview of Swan's Real Bitcoin Exchange (RBX), explaining how long-time GBTC and ETF holders can exchange into real on-chain Bitcoin while preserving their tax basis. ► For high-net-worth individuals and corporations seeking to build generational wealth with Bitcoin, Swan Private is your guide ✔ https://www.swanbitcoin.com/private?utm_campaign=private&utm_medium=sponsorship&utm_source=podcast&utm_content=swan_signal_live ► Secure your bright orange future with the Swan IRA today!

In this Crypto Watercooler episode, Amanda Whitcroft and Tony Edward discuss the CLARITY Act timeline as the Senate returns next week, Strategy's latest Bitcoin sale, Vanguard's search for a head of crypto, Trump Accounts going live with the potential to include Bitcoin, and much more.

For years, Michael Saylor's Strategy was the market's most dependable Bitcoin buyer. Recently, it has done the opposite. Strategy just sold 3,588 Bitcoin for roughly $216 million, its largest single tranche yet, deepening the question of whether Michael Saylor has become a structural seller instead of a buyer. Ram Ahluwalia, Austin Campbell, and Chris Perkins break down the STRC dividend mechanics behind the sale, the bull case for a catch-up trade, and the bear case if Bitcoin never rallies back. Hosts: Austin Campbell, Host of Bits + Bips, Founder of Zero Knowledge Group, and Adjunct Professor at NYU Stern Ram Ahluwalia, Co-host of Bits + Bips and CEO of Lumida Chris Perkins, Co-host of Bits + Bips and Head of Franklin Crypto This clip is from a longer conversation on Strategy's Bitcoin sale, the stablecoin wars, and the token versus equity debate.

The macroeconomic landscape is shifting rapidly, and investors are caught between conflicting signals from the Fed, geopolitical tensions, and the rise of AI in finance. We break down the ongoing debate between real estate leverage and stock market liquidity, offering a candid look at the real costs of avoiding taxes and over-leveraging assets.Beyond the real estate versus stocks debate, this episode dives into the surprising resilience of the market amid the Iran conflict and the latest data on inflation and employment. We also explore the launch of X Money, the power of Robinhood youth accounts, and whether AI agents like Claude will eventually replace human stock pickers.KEY TOPICS DISCUSSEDImpact of the Iran conflict on global oil prices and stock market volatilityFederal Reserve rate cut predictions and why a pause is likely through the yearThe explosive growth of in-real-life (IRL) experiences and potential stock playsReal estate leverage versus stock market liquidity and tax implicationsWealth building strategies and the psychological trap of constant leverageInvesting for children through Robinhood youth investment accountsElon Musk's X Money platform offering 6% APY and 3% cash backBitcoin price baselines and Michael Saylor's recent strategic salesAI-driven stock picking and Claude's 14% return against the S&P 500KEY TAKEAWAYSThe Federal Reserve is likely to pause interest rates through the end of the year due to conflicting economic data and market volatility.In-real-life (IRL) experiences are booming post-COVID, making companies in the live entertainment sector strong potential investments.Over-leveraging in real estate to avoid taxes can create massive liabilities compared to the simplicity of holding stocks.True wealth is about peace of mind and time freedom, not just maximizing debt to achieve a higher superficial net worth.AI agents like Claude are successfully managing portfolios and outperforming the S&P, signaling a shift in retail investing tools.Elon Musk's X Money platform is challenging traditional banking by offering high-yield returns and cash back incentives.CONNECT & TAKE ACTIONWealth Intelligence Brief: Text "WIB" to 844-447-1555 to get Matty's free macro data, real estate intel, and crypto signals delivered to your inbox 3 times a week.Imagos Income Fund: Text "INCOME" or "DEALS" to 844-447-1555 to learn more about Matty A's private debt fund targeting 10% fixed returns paid out monthly.

Saylor authorized $1.25B in Bitcoin sales. 514K full-time jobs vanished. Trump made $2.2B selling access. 250 years later, we need another revolution.• This episode is sponsored by Odoo. Sign up for free at https://www.odoo.com/r/peterThe June jobs report came in at 57,000 — half of the lowest estimate — with May revised down from 172,000 to 129,000. Full-time employment collapsed by 514,000 in a single month, bringing total full-time job losses since Trump took office to 2.24 million. The labor force participation rate dropped to 61.5% as 700,000 workers simply gave up, and manufacturing has lost 73,000 jobs despite Trump's tariff promises.Michael Saylor officially surrendered the "never sell Bitcoin" thesis, establishing a "Bitcoin monetization fund" authorizing up to $1.25 billion in Bitcoin sales to maintain dollar reserves, buy back common stock, and repurchase Stretch preferreds trading at $87.80. He raised the Stretch dividend to 12% with mandatory increases ahead. Peter Schiff argues this transforms Strategy from the market's biggest buyer into its biggest seller, removing the bid that underpinned Bitcoin's price. Trump's financial disclosure revealed $2.2 billion in income — $1.4 billion from meme coins and tokens alone — while Mar-a-Lago membership hit $1 million and the Executive Club charges $500,000 for a restaurant seat next to cabinet members. Peter closes with a 250th Independence Day reflection, arguing Americans today face more tyranny than the colonists ever did under King George, and that the revolution we need now must happen at the ballot box.Chapters:00:00 Holiday Intro and July 4th Tease00:37 Jobs Report Shock and Revisions03:43 Full-Time Jobs Slide and Tariff Reality07:29 Fed Rate Hike Theater and Gold Bounce16:28 Bitcoin Strategy Turns Seller29:57 Meme Coins as Bribes31:09 Paying for Trump Access34:26 Debt Gimmicks and Deficits35:38 Independence Day and Founding Ideals45:45 Modern Tyranny and Peaceful RevolutionFollow @peterschiffX: https://twitter.com/peterschiffInstagram: https://instagram.com/peterschiffTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@peterschiffofficialFacebook: https://facebook.com/peterschiffFree Reports & Market Updates: https://www.europac.comBook Store: https://schiffradio.com/booksSign up for Peter's most valuable insights at https://schiffsovereign.comSchiff Gold News: https://www.schiffgold.com/news#PeterSchiffShow #IndependenceDay #BitcoinCrashOur Sponsors:* Check out Chilipad and use my code GOLD for a great deal: https://sleep.me* Check out Fast Growing Trees and use my code GOLD for a great deal: https://www.fast-growing-trees.com* Check out Plaud AI and use my code GOLD for a great deal: https://plaud.ai* Check out Quince and use my code quince.com/gold for a great deal: https://www.quince.com* Check out TruDiagnostic and use my code GOLD20 for a great deal: https://www.trudiagnostic.comPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

The through-line: a rising socialist movement that says it's fighting for the working class, and the mechanism that shows it robs them instead. They trace it from the "overproduction of elites" driving the DSA, to the one American town that ran the most sincere socialism experiment ever attempted (and what happened two years later), to why inflation is the real theft from working people.Plus: what China understands about energy that's left the West rationing AC, the truth hiding under Trump's growth numbers, Michael Saylor's high-wire bitcoin bet, Palantir CEO Alex Karp's CNBC blow-up over who really owns your data, and the collapse of free speech playing out in the UK.Sponsors:Quince: Free shipping and 365-day returns at https://quince.com/impactpodWhatnot: Download the Whatnot app today and get free shipping on your first order.ATT Business: Switch to AT&T Business at business.att.comKetone IQ: Visit https://ketone.com/IMPACT for 30% OFF your subscription orderShopify: Sign up for your one-dollar-per-month trial period at https://shopify.com/impactTruemed: Check your eligibility and start saving at https://truemed.com/impactEthos: Get a free quote at https://ethos.com/impactIncogni: Take your personal data back with Incogni!

Joseph Chalom, CEO of Sharplink and a board member of the new Ethereum Institutional, joins Laura Shin to make the case that Ethereum's real competition isn't Solana or Canton. It's inertia: the reluctance of the world's largest institutions to touch financial rails they don't already trust. Chalom walks through how Ethereum Institutional differs from Etherealize and the Enterprise Ethereum Alliance, why Robinhood building on Arbitrum still counts as a win for Ethereum, and what it would take for ETH to capture the value flowing through the network as tokenized real-world assets grow past $31 billion. He pushes back on claims that the Ethereum Foundation's culture is broken, then turns to Strategy's preferred stock drama and says plainly that Michael Saylor is in a pickle.
