In this episode of the Westminster Podcast, Brandon McLean Smith speaks with Jordan Bush, executive director of Thank God for Bitcoin and they explore the practical and theological implications of Bitcoin as a tool for missions and ministries in places cut off from traditional banking, how it can protect individuals and organizations from financial censorship, and the dangers posed by central bank digital currencies. Jordan ties monetary questions to a broader Reformed framework—invoking “sowing and reaping,” the kingdom's economics, and the need for Christian economists—while offering concrete steps churches can take (accepting crypto donations, educating congregations, building endowments) to steward resources responsibly in an unstable monetary age. If you enjoyed this conversation and were inspired by it to consider ways to utilize Bitcoin and other Crypto currencies to support the work of the Gospel I am glad to announce that Westminster now accepts Bitcoin, Ethereum, and most major coins and tokens. This is a great way to donate and support Westminster's mission to train specialists in the Bible to proclaim the whole counsel of God for Christ and His Global church. You avoid capital-gains tax, You receive a tax deduction for the full fair-market value and Westminster receives 100% of the value of your donation.

Bitcoin is flashing a dangerous signal we've only seen a handful of times before and the last 3 times it happened, crypto dumped HARD. LACE Wallet - https://www.lace.io?utm_source=YouTube&utm_medium=influencer&utm_campaign=LaceSwaps&utm_id=UGCSWAP&utm_content=DeezyBTC  

In today’s BlockHash Morning Brief, we break down fresh signals from the SEC and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) pointing toward a more coordinated U.S. framework for crypto, banking, and digital asset infrastructure. While not deregulation, this shift toward standardization could unlock institutional participation and reduce long-standing uncertainty. We also dive into the AI profit debate now dominating Wall Street. After weeks of volatility, analysts and tech leaders are reframing AI as a long-term infrastructure investment rather than a short-term earnings driver. That recalibration is forcing markets to reprice risk across tech, crypto, and emerging innovation. Plus, we explore how AI governance, safety standards, and chip strategy are becoming central policy priorities in Washington — signaling that AI is now being treated as critical infrastructure, not just software. In this episode:• What SEC & OCC alignment means for U.S. crypto markets• Why regulatory clarity matters more than “friendly” rules• The AI profit reality check hitting tech stocks• How markets are repricing risk across equities and crypto• Why crypto continues to trade like a high-beta tech asset• What builders and investors should watch next (0:00) Intro(0:18) SEC & OCC coordinating on Crypto(1:31) AI leaders push back on profit panic(2:25) AI regulation is trending(3:05) Macro & equities snapshot(3:44) Crypto & emerging tech market(5:24) What to watch for this week

Wild week for precious metals: despite violent intraday swings, gold still closed up ~2.2% around $4,080 and silver up ~4.7% above $50—with silver briefly tagging $54+ overnight. The key: $4,000 is acting as gold's new floor (just like $3,000 became the new $2,000), and $50 is emerging as support for silver. Meanwhile, risk is coming off across markets: NASDAQ down ~4–5%, Treasuries selling (yields up), and crypto cracked back below 100K. Capital is rotating toward real safe havens and cash-generating miners. In this wrap: Asian session buying vs U.S. session selling, why the biggest drops happen late-week, how Fed indecision + sticky inflation support metals, and why policy gimmicks (tariff “dividends,” selective tariff cuts, attacks on producers, mortgage backstops) are bullish for gold in the real world. I also cover gap-up risk into Sunday night/Monday, and why the miners' earnings torque is still being mispriced.

ProShares' Simeon Hyman believes the A.I. bubble risks to markets are overblown. He argues the tech sector and SPX have cheaper valuations than they did at the height of the dot com bubble in 1999, backed by significantly better profits. When it comes to setting up your portfolio for 2026, Simeon highlights his firm's ETFs and strategies to consider. He explains a range of assets, from crypto-centric ETFs to one that focuses on the SPX without technology. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Burkett explains how MWEB provides basic privacy features, such as hidden transaction amounts and no address reuse, but clarifies that it doesn't offer the same unlinkability as Monero.

Clem Chambers has been a Forbes contributor for 20 years. His predictions have often been surprisingly accurate, so it's worth listening to what his crystal ball has to say about 2026.VideoConnect with Clem* Clem Chambers Alpha channel: https://www.youtube.com/@ClemChambersAlpha* X (Twitter): https://x.com/ClemChambers​* Personal site: https://www.clemchambers.com * LinkedIn (Online Blockchain / ADVFN profile): https://uk.linkedin.com/in/clem-chambers-756145196​* Facebook profile: https://www.facebook.com/chambers.clem/​Perplexity wrote...Clem Chambers has generally predicted a capped upside for Bitcoin this cycle around the low‑hundred‑thousands, followed by a sharp “crypto winter” pullback, with much higher long‑term potential over multiple halvings.​Key cycle targets* In a 2024 article, he suggested that after breaking the old 60k~60k 60k high, a reasonable peak for this halving cycle would be around 120,000 USD, using a simple “previous peak × 2 after halving” rule of thumb.​* In late 2024, he wrote that moves from 100,000 toward about 110,000–120,000 USD still looked “sensible,” while 150,000 was “not impossible” but more stretched for this cycle.​* In late 2024, commentary quoted by financial media, he said Bitcoin might top out near 120,000 USD and that he had exited around 100,000, expecting the current cycle to be near its peak.​Downside and crash scenarios* In mid‑2023 roundtable comments, he floated a possible downside as low as 13,000 USD in a bearish scenario, but said a more likely level for that bear phase was around 25,000 USD by the end of 2023.​* In a 2025 Forbes piece on crash scenarios, he discussed how far Bitcoin could fall from its then‑high around 126,000 USD, describing a roughly 30% drop to below 90,000 as part of an expected post‑peak correction within the halving‑driven cycle framework.​* In a 2025 Kitco/iHeart interview, he warned of an imminent “crypto winter” that could push Bitcoin back into roughly the 40,000–60,000 USD range after the current cycle peak.​Longer‑term views* Chambers has repeatedly framed Bitcoin as “digital exit gold,” arguing that the four‑year halving cycle tends to drive a rough doubling of price each time, which in his view supports the idea of much higher prices over multiple future cycles rather than a straight line to extreme targets in this one.​* In a 2025 debate, he allowed that Bitcoin could reach very high levels, such as 1 million USD per coin, but only over a much longer horizon—on the order of a decade and multiple halvings—rather than in the current 2024–2025 bull phase.ConnectSend me an anonymous voicemail at SpeakPipe.com/FTaponYou can post comments, ask questions, and sign up for my newsletter at https://wanderlearn.comIf you like this podcast, subscribe and share!On social media, my username is always FTapon.

The labor market has swung from the Great Resignation to “job hugging,” where workers cling to their roles out of fear of AI-driven layoffs and inflation, crushing engagement and accelerating burnout. At the same time, OpenAI is accused of suppressing research showing job losses, ignoring internal warnings about chatbot mental health risks, and bleeding safety staff, while state Attorneys General fire off an opening salvo likening unchecked AI harms to an opioid crisis-in-the-making.The AI boom is now colliding with reality. Environmental groups want a halt on new datacenters as power prices spike, and the industry is starting to look financially radioactive, with opaque financing schemes, hidden debt, and trillion-dollar infrastructure bets that could vaporize household wealth. Regulators are pushing back too: the EU is fining X, probing Google over training data, and floating a statutory licensing scheme for AI scraping, while Disney dives in with a billion-dollar bet on “responsible” AI storytelling that mostly translates to fewer humans on payroll.Meanwhile, everyday tech dystopia rolls on. Uber is monetizing your movement data, Instacart is quietly price-discriminating groceries, Waymo is spinning a robotaxi birth as a feel-good story, and crypto fraud finally earns real prison time. Add in AI-generated marketing slop, government sites hijacked by SEO porn, billion-dollar festival scams resurrected, and Congress kneecapping right-to-repair, and the takeaway is simple: the machines are hungry, the adults are absent, and the vibes are aggressively bad.Sponsors:CleanMyMac - Get Tidy Today!

Disclaimer: We are not professionals. This podcast is opinioned based and from life experience. This is for entertainment purposes only. Opinions helped by our guests may not reflect our own. But we love a good conversation.In this 2 Be Better Podcast episode, Chris and Peaches sit down in Christmas onesies and react to one of their earliest traditional marriage videos, breaking down how far they have come in communication, accountability, and gender roles since season one. You will watch them cringe at old ego, laugh at their own anxiety, and then double down on traditional marriage advice, protector–provider–presider masculine leadership, and what a stay at home wife actually brings to the table in a modern relationship. They unpack division of labor in marriage, decompression time for both partners, mental health and “bad days” with chores, and why they still believe men should pay for the first date while also warning broke men that they should fix their finances before jumping into dating. If you are searching for real talk on traditional gender roles, trad wife life, dating standards, first date rules, time management as a stay at home mom, and how to build a functional household instead of keeping score over socks and dishes, this reaction episode shows their growth in real time and gives you language you can use in your own relationship. From there, they read and dissect a heavy email from a mother of four whose partner has checked out of the family, become obsessed with crypto trading, and started emotionally abusing her sons over money, using it as a live case study in stepdad behavior, blended families, and what emotional abuse and financial manipulation actually look like in real life. Chris and Peaches talk through exit strategies, why your kids' safety and emotional stability come before keeping a man, how addiction to charts and gambling-level crypto risk destroys connection, and why therapy, accountability, and doing your own “dirty work” after trauma matter before you start dating again. They also revisit homeschooling versus daycare for special needs kids, building a tribe through Patreon, retreats, men's and women's coaching groups, and why shared purpose and clear standards make traditional marriage, stay at home motherhood, and provider masculinity actually work. If you are looking for blunt relationship coaching on traditional marriage, stay at home mom life, step-parent dynamics, crypto addiction in relationships, and setting real non-negotiables in dating and marriage, this episode will hit hard and give you practical tools, not fluff.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/2-be-better--5828421/support.

This Crypto Town Hall episode (recorded on Friday, December 12) brings together prominent voices in crypto and macroeconomics to discuss the current state of the market, Bitcoin's recent price action, tokenization of traditional assets, the changing role of banks and government, and the implications of new infrastructure and liquidity. The overarching goal is to unpack market shifts driven by institutional adoption, government engagement, and rapid technical change, with a focus on whether these lead to real progress or represent risks to the original ethos of crypto.

Today's episode breaks down one of the biggest developments in TradFi and crypto convergence yet — the DTCC, the massive clearinghouse that settles over $2 QUADRILLION in securities every year, is officially accelerating its move into asset tokenization. We'll cover why the DTCC's new digital-assets roadmap could completely transform how stocks, bonds, money markets, and alternative assets are traded… and why this may be the catalyst institutions have been waiting for. Plus: what tokenized markets mean for Bitcoin, crypto liquidity, regulation, U.S. banks entering crypto, and the next wave of blockchain adoption

Bitcoin just lost a major support level, and the entire crypto market is watching closely. Is this the start of a deeper correction… or the PERFECT buying opportunity before the next massive rally?

In this episode of Crazy Wisdom, I—Stewart Alsop—sit down with Garrett Dailey to explore a wide-ranging conversation that moves from the mechanics of persuasion and why the best pitches work by attraction rather than pressure, to the nature of AI as a pattern tool rather than a mind, to power cycles, meaning-making, and the fracturing of modern culture. Garrett draws on philosophy, psychology, strategy, and his own background in storytelling to unpack ideas around narrative collapse, the chaos–order split in human cognition, the risk of “AI one-shotting,” and how political and technological incentives shape the world we're living through. You can find the tweet Stewart mentions in this episode here. Also, follow Garrett Dailey on Twitter at @GarrettCDailey, or find more of his pitch-related work on LinkedIn.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:00 Garrett opens with persuasion by attraction, storytelling, and why pitches fail with force. 05:00 We explore gravity as metaphor, the opposite of force, and the “ring effect” of a compelling idea. 10:00 AI as tool not mind; creativity, pattern prediction, hype cycles, and valuation delusions. 15:00 Limits of LLMs, slopification, recursive language drift, and cultural mimicry. 20:00 One-shotting, psychosis risk, validation-seeking, consciousness vs prediction. 25:00 Order mind vs chaos mind, solipsism, autism–schizophrenia mapping, epistemology. 30:00 Meaning, presence, Zen, cultural fragmentation, shared models breaking down. 35:00 U.S. regional culture, impossibility of national unity, incentives shaping politics. 40:00 Fragmentation vs reconciliation, markets, narratives, multipolarity, Dune archetypes. 45:00 Patchwork age, decentralization myths, political fracturing, libertarian limits. 50:00 Power as zero-sum, tech-right emergence, incentives, Vance, Yarvin, empire vs republic. 55:00 Cycles of power, kyklos, democracy's decay, design-by-committee, institutional failure.Key InsightsPersuasion works best through attraction, not pressure. Garrett explains that effective pitching isn't about forcing someone to believe you—it's about creating a narrative gravity so strong that people move toward the idea on their own. This reframes persuasion from objection-handling into desire-shaping, a shift that echoes through sales, storytelling, and leadership.AI is powerful precisely because it's not a mind. Garrett rejects the “machine consciousness” framing and instead treats AI as a pattern amplifier—extraordinarily capable when used as a tool, but fundamentally limited in generating novel knowledge. The danger arises when humans project consciousness onto it and let it validate their insecurities.Recursive language drift is reshaping human communication. As people unconsciously mimic LLM-style phrasing, AI-generated patterns feed back into training data, accelerating a cultural “slopification.” This becomes a self-reinforcing loop where originality erodes, and the machine's voice slowly colonizes the human one.The human psyche operates as a tension between order mind and chaos mind. Garrett's framework maps autism and schizophrenia as pathological extremes of this duality, showing how prediction and perception interact inside consciousness—and why AI, which only simulates chaos-mind prediction, can never fully replicate human knowing.Meaning arises from presence, not abstraction. Instead of obsessing over politics, geopolitics, or distant hypotheticals, Garrett argues for a Zen-like orientation: do what you're doing, avoid what you're not doing. Meaning doesn't live in narratives about the future—it lives in the task at hand.Power follows predictable cycles—and America is deep in one. Borrowing from the Greek kyklos, Garrett frames the U.S. as moving from aristocracy toward democracy's late-stage dysfunction: populism, fragmentation, and institutional decay. The question ahead is whether we're heading toward empire or collapse.Decentralization is entropy, not salvation. Crypto dreams of DAOs and patchwork societies ignore the gravitational pull of power. Systems fragment as they weaken, but eventually a new center of order emerges. The real contest isn't decentralization vs. centralization—it's who will have the coherence and narrative strength to recentralize the pieces.

Anthony Scaramucci (Founder and Managing Partner, SkyBridge Capital, former White House Communications Director, and author, “Solana Rising: Investing in the Fast Lane of Crypto”) joins Chris Cuomo to break down how Trump's influence reshaped American politics — from loyalty culture and broken institutions to the money pipelines that fuel the outrage economy. Scaramucci explains why Trumpism still distorts incentives in Washington, why corruption persists across both parties, and how political dysfunction became a profitable business model. Cuomo and Scaramucci also dig into the economics behind the moment — from crypto's growing role in global finance to how digital markets, speculation, and new technologies intersect with political instability. They explore what a post-Trump GOP might look like, whether voters still reward serious leadership, and why America's systems keep drifting further from what working people actually need.

Welcome to The Chopping Block — where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, Tarun Chitra, and Robert Leshner chop it up about the latest in crypto. This episode starts with Farcaster's pivot and Tarun's claim that “Web3 is dead,” at least the A16z-style ownership economy. With Web3 social struggling, the crew digs into why spam, airdrops, and weak network effects keep sinking these apps — and why prediction markets may be crypto's accidental social network. We then jump to the L1 valuation fight. Haseeb recaps his debate with Santiago over whether chains are wildly overpriced or simply early, sparking a broader discussion on PE ratios, L1 “premiums,” and how many chains the world can realistically sustain. Next up: Ken Chan's viral “I wasted 8 years in crypto.” The team unpacks burnout, sugar-water loops, and why nihilism tends to hit founders right as the market turns. And finally, Tarun walks through his ADL research and how October 10's cascading liquidations exposed major flaws in current systems. Markets evolving, narratives collapsing — let's get into it.

In the latest episode of Tin Foil Hat, special guest Shannon Rowan discusses her new book The Red Shoes and how the story's metaphor reflects the way modern technology is sold as convenience while secretly acting as a tool of control. She highlights the history of mind control experiments and early cybernetics research from the 1940s to the 1960s, arguing that these efforts helped shape the internet and a hidden plan to make humanity dependent on a digital matrix. Rowan also explains how app and tech design uses Pavlovian conditioning, Skinner box research, and operant conditioning to create cravings and reward loops that drive behavioral addiction.Please subscribe to the new Tin Foil Hat youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@TinFoilHatYoutubeGrab your copy of the 2nd issue of the Chaos Twins now and join the Army Of Chaos:https://bit.ly/415fDfYCheck out Sam "DoomScrollin with Sam Tripoli and Midnight Mike" Every Tuesday At 4pm pst on Youtube, X Twitter, Rumble and Rokfin!Join the WolfPack at Wise Wolf Gold and Silver and start hedging your financial position by investing in precious metals now!

On this extremely cursed episode of Gaslit Nation, we take a break from gas station dictatorships to talk about their emo tech cousin: crypto, the shadow banking system for oligarchs, autocrats, and the Trump family, with Andy Greenberg of Wired, author of Tracers in the Dark: The Global Hunt for the Crime Lords of Cryptocurrency. Greenberg walks us through how Bitcoin was sold as untraceable "freedom money"–digital cash for the revolution!–and instead became a giant glowing crime map. Dark-web drug empires, massive child sex abuse rings, ransomware gangs, investment scam sweatshops, North Korean weapons programs, autocratic terrorists like Russia and China. Turns out their transnational crypto crime sprees left a trace. Greenberg profiles investigators who followed the blockchain to catch some of the world's worst monsters and advises how to "follow the money" in the digital age. We also discuss Trump's crypto war on the U.S. dollar and how he and his family enrich themselves with the help of crypto criminals.  This week's bonus show, for our Patreon supporters at the Truth-teller ($5/month) level and higher, features Gaslit Nation's book club discussion of Deaf Republic by Ilya Kaminsky and Total Resistance by H Von Dach–and an urgent wake-up call to see the Kremlin's long-game in exporting oligarch-fascism, before it's too late. Just today, it was reported that Russia tried to plant bombs on U.S.-bound flights, following similar reports of planned attacks across Europe.  Join our community of listeners and get bonus shows, Q&A sessions, invites to exclusive events like our Monday political salons at 4pm ET over Zoom, ad free listening, group chats with other listeners, ways to shape the show, and more!
