George McBride (@georgemcbride_ ) and SatStreet facilitate Bitcoin OTC trading and asset management for family offices moving to El Salvador's Bitcoin legal tender economy.Is your home country a fortress for your wealth, or is it a high-tax cage waiting to be locked by the legacy regime? George McBride from SatStreet joins the show to discuss why his family decided to exit Canada and go all-in on El Salvador. We dive into the "Flag in the Sand" moment when President Bukele declared Bitcoin as legal tender, signaling to the world that this jurisdiction is the only true sanctuary for those seeking absolute financial sovereignty.For the family office or high-net-worth Bitcoiner, the biggest hurdle to exiting the fiat system has always been the friction of legacy banking. George explains how SatStreet provides the deep liquidity and white-glove otc trading services needed to move $50k to $100M+ into the country without the typical delays. If you are looking to acquire beachfront property or shift your asset management strategy to a pro-Bitcoin jurisdiction, having a partner who understands the local banking rails is the difference between a smooth transition and a compliance nightmare.We also explore why foreign investment is currently flooding into the region, moving beyond just retail hype into institutional adoption. George breaks down how the country's digital assets regulatory framework is outperforming the restrictive attitude of Western regulators. By building infrastructure and professionalizing the space, builders are proving that El Salvador is no longer an experiment but a global leader in capital efficiency.The conversation gets practical for those planning their own exit strategy, specifically regarding the Land Cruiser problem. While the country is a pioneer, many local sellers still operate in the dark ages and demand dollars. George details how SatStreet acts as the bridge, allowing you to use your Bitcoin for large purchases like vehicles or land while the seller receives the fiat they are accustomed to. It is the necessary bridge to hyperbitcoinization that allows you to live the lifestyle today.Finally, George shares details of his hour-long meeting with President Bukele and why the self-filtering mechanism of this country is its greatest strength. El Salvador is looking for the entrepreneurs and builders who are fed up with the status quo. If you are ready to stop being a spectator and start contributing to the most important economic shift in a generation, this episode is your roadmap for making the move.—Bitcoin Beach TeamConnect and Learn more about George McBrideX: https://x.com/georgemcbride_X (SatStreet SV): https://x.com/SatstreetSVX: (SatStreet, Parent Company): https://x.com/SatstreetWeb: https://www.satstreet.sv/Support and follow Bitcoin Beach:X: https://www.twitter.com/BitcoinBeach IG: https://www.instagram.com/bitcoinbeach_sv TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@livefrombitcoinbeach Web: https://www.bitcoinbeach.com Browse through this quick guide to learn more about the episode:00:00 Intro01:59 How to exit Canada and move your family to El Salvador in 2026?09:39 How does a Bitcoin OTC desk facilitate institutional liquidity for expats?15:35 How to move large Bitcoin amounts into El Salvador banks without rejections?19:14 Why are El Salvador's wealthiest families finally adopting a Bitcoin standard?22:30 Is El Salvador the world's best investor paradise for Bitcoiners in 2026?28:30 Can you buy a Toyota Land Cruiser with Bitcoin in El Salvador today?31:25 How does the new Bitcoin real estate escrow work for foreign buyers?35:04 Why is El Salvador's DASP framework better for Bitcoin businesses than the West?46:00 What is the insider truth about President Bukele's Bitcoin strategyLive From Bitcoin Beach

Follow Forbes Talks Everyone has an opinion, but Forbes has the answer: $6.5 billion, according to our most recent tally, updated in March. Trump added $1.4 billion over the past year, leveraging the presidency for profit. Trump's Cryptocurrency and Liquid Assets: $2.1 billion FORBES ESTIMATE AS OF MARCH 2026 Spencer Platt/Getty Images The president is flush with cash, having collected hundreds of millions from cryptocurrency sales and an estimated $200 million more, after tax, from selling a chunk of one venture, reportedly to an Emirati royal. Those earnings added to a stockpile he had already been accumulating by selling his Washington, D.C. hotel and refinancing a San Francisco office complex. Trump launched a memecoin days before his second term began, capitalizing on the buzz surrounding his inauguration. A portion of his coins now unlock on a daily basis, though their value has fallen by almost 70% since a year ago. The Trump family's primary crypto project, World Liberty Financial, got off to a rocky start. Things accelerated after Trump won the election and Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, a United Arab Emirates royal, reportedly arranged a purchase of almost half the company in January. Buyers have now snapped up more than $1 billion of tokens. The Trump family kept a pile for themselves, which Forbes discounts while they remain locked up. World Liberty Financial also launched a stablecoin, USD1, which ties to the dollar and allows people to make crypto transactions with limited volatility. It's not a new idea. “Everybody can mint a stablecoin,” says Matt Zhang, the founder of digital-asset firm Hivemind. “The difficult part is how you drive adoption.” A firm created by the UAE's president offered some help to Trump's venture, agreeing to use USD1 to make a $2 billion investment in a major crypto exchange. A publicly traded firm named Alt5 purchased a bundle of World Liberty tokens in August 2025. The deal left the Trump family with a bunch of cash and World Liberty with a small stake in Alt5. From a financial standpoint, Trump's social media venture is one of the most absurd businesses in America, generating sales of just $3.7 million in 2025 and recording a net loss of $712 million. The company is scrambling to find a business model: It became a Bitcoin treasury in May, announced a merger with a fusion power company in December and published potential plans to spin off Truth Social in February. Thanks to Trump-loving traders, shares remain at head-scratching levels, but have lost over 80% of their value since the company went public, driving down the value of the president's stake. Trump's golf game took off after he left the White House the first time. Estimated operating profits at his clubs jumped from $19 million in 2020 to $66 million in 2024. The private club has benefited from politics more than any other property, something Trump foreshadowed in a 2016 deposition. “The manager told me recently, he said, ‘Boy, it is actually the best year we've ever had at Mar-a-Lago.' And I was looking at the numbers. I said, ‘What do you attribute this to?' He said, ‘The campaign.'” Since then, business has only gotten stronger. The indebted Florida golf resort lost much of its northeastern clientele after Trump got into politics, nearly putting it underwater. But plenty of new customers arrived in the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic, pushing estimated profits to $25 million, double their best year during Trump's first term.

While stablecoin issuance is optional, the regulatory guardrails are now taking shape.Comments on the proposed rule are due 60 days after Federal Register publication.If your credit union is considering digital asset innovation, payment modernization, or cooperative technology ventures, this episode outlines the strategic considerations.Key TopicsGENIUS Act stablecoin frameworkSubsidiary-only issuance requirementPPSI licensing processCapital and liquidity expectationsCUSO structure implicationsJoint ownership modelsRegulatory cost recovery debateCLARITY Act market structure considerationsWhy This MattersStablecoins are not insured shares.

Show Notes: Gerd Schenkel discusses his experience in creating new telco businesses and how to analyze a telecommunications company. Gerd has spent over 10 years as a consultant and 15 years as an executive in banking and telco. He aims to make a differentiation in consulting work by bringing together both worlds. Developing a Telco Company Gerd spent six years at Telstra, Australia's incumbent telco, and three years as the CEO. He talks about his experience there and moves on to his first experience at creating a business which was for National Australia Bank, where he launched a digital bank called EuBank. He later worked as the CEO of a digital team and was tasked with building a telco division. Gerd discusses the creation, development and success of a telco project. He talks about launching a project, what it requires, and what he learned through the process, including accepting and meeting a 10-week launch deadline. He talks about key learnings from his time there, managing the team, product pricing, and making the process of developing and delivering a product simple and effective. A Telstra Broadband Brand Success Telstra's internet broadband product was competing with its parent company's product, but the difference was not in speed or quality. The brand and marketing strategy was more about the connection to the local exchange, where the availability of ports was crucial for competitive dynamics. A former Telstra employee and artist was hired to help develop the brand. The team knew they would need to market locally, and in some areas, they would spend more money. However, they turned this limitation into a positive, creating a brand story called "Belong." The name "Belong" was about belonging to the local neighborhood, and the advertising would be with local shops. The brand was launched with white lists, indicating that the product was only available in certain areas. The name "Belong" was part of the "local connection" concept, and the bank "Eubank" was launched to create a national brand story. Challenges Faced by Telco Startup Gerd discusses the challenges faced by a startup telco, Telstra, in complying with specialist regulations. The telco license had provisions for executing government and police directions, which were not widely known and not widely discussed. Our team was unaware of these requirements until a dedicated Telstra person contacted us about it. The team found a solution by flying a UK-based technician to install the necessary technology in exchanges. Gerd explains that, in terms of regulation, startups can do all their work upfront, but there are always unknowns and unexpected issues that need to be addressed. Flexibility and agility are essential in finding creative solutions, as demonstrated by Telstra's experience. Customer Service, Operations, and Billing Gerd shares an example of changes made to billing, and communication at Telstra. He explains that pro rata was a major cause for complaints due to the high cost of first bills. He talks about costs involved in rolling out a new billing system and how they chose a low-cost platform and how this solution cost them nothing and was immediate, meaning no complaints or phone calls. Gerd emphasizes that the mindset should be on the customer side, focusing on providing the best possible service and experience for customers. Gerd also mentions that Telstra had to configure routers with customers' accounts, which was impossible. They found a solution that was cheaper and more efficient, saving them $3 each. This resulted in no phone calls or track roles, and customers were happy. On the Moving Home Process The conversation turns to the redesign of the moving home process for Telstra, which had a negative NPS of perhaps minus 50 and a churn rate of 85%. The process was outsourced for decades and was a nightmare for customers with multiple products and separate tech stacks. Gerd suggested that they started with a small percentage and then rolled it out to everyone. They used their control of channels to impose a better process, routing website orders wherever they wanted. They then convinced call centers to enter orders on the website instead of the internal system, resulting in a reversal where the website became the internal interface for employees. This principle was also applied to mobile phone ordering, resulting in faster and easier ordering for all employees. Gerd explains that importing these mindsets into Telstra was harder due to the bigger scale, complexity, and politics involved. However, the benefits were 100 times bigger in terms of cost, with savings of 40 minutes per mobile order. He now works for a telco in North America, applying similar mindsets to their operations. The Business Model of Telecommunications Companies Gerd discusses the business model of telecommunications companies, particularly telcos. Telcos spend billions of dollars on infrastructure and technology, which is then used to make monthly subscriber payments. This complex system results in an average return on capital of 8% over the long term. However, telcos are less customer-centric than banks due to their network businesses where customers are not even a customer, but rather a subscriber. Gerd offers how telcos could reduce churn and increase revenue by being more customer centric. He suggests offering free basic services, such as data and advertising and shares a few working examples=. Analyzing a Telco's Monetization Base Gerd suggests analyzing a telco's monetization base by separating out non-network access revenue per customer. He suggests that if network access is the only revenue source, it will go towards a marginal return on capital (ROC). Telcos have unique access to populations and good brands, which can lead to increased revenue. Gerd also discusses the concept of local office apps, where users can opt in to receive local offers based on their location. This approach has been successful, but it has faced political debates over ownership of the PLC. He states that telcos can potentially generate 1,000,002 million in a country with 20 million people if done properly. Secondarily, telcos typically report the split between network access revenue and non-network revenue. However, Gerd suggests measuring this separately. To evaluate the non-network revenue, he suggests using incentives, reporting, and management tools. A consulting firm can help with this process, although it may require hiring a consultant. By valuing the non-network revenue dollar, telcos can better manage their costs and maximize their revenue.

Sony's Big Moves: FromSoftware Acquisition, Golden Joystick Awards & Handheld Consoles Sony is making headlines with a potential acquisition of Kadokawa Corporation, parent company of FromSoftware. Talks are ongoing, and Kadokawa reportedly wants an all-or-nothing deal, while Sony aims to focus on anime and gaming assets. At the 2024 Golden Joystick Awards, Black Myth: Wukong won Ultimate Game of the Year, Team ASOBI was crowned Studio of the Year, and Helldivers 2 swept multiple categories. GTA VI claimed Most Wanted Game, and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth bagged Best Storytelling and Soundtrack.
