The Great Crypto Unwind: A Replay of 2008

Pierre Rochard, VP of Research at Riot Platforms and longtime Bitcoin advocate, joins to explain why Bitcoin’s rise is transforming not only markets but the very foundation of the financial system. From the mechanics of speculative attacks to the rise of Bitcoin treasury companies, Pierre reveals how Wall Street adoption, government policy, and sound money principles are colliding to reshape the global order. In this conversation, we explore why the classic 4-year Bitcoin cycle is breaking down, how financialization and leverage are changing the rules of the game, and why Bitcoin’s fundamentals still point to explosive upside. Pierre unpacks the growing role of ETFs, corporate treasuries, and multi-sig custody, while also warning of the political battles ahead—from potential 6102-style risks to the importance of lobbying for Bitcoin’s future. He also dives into how inheritance flows, mining economics, and U.S. fiscal policy will decide who thrives in the next era of Bitcoin adoption—and what it all means for the freedom to control your own money.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The crash everyone’s talking about right now will be worse than 2008… but not in the way almost everyone thinks it’s going to happen. See, the media is bracing you for another housing collapse or a stock market wipeout — but that’s not the real danger. This time, the bubble isn’t in real estate or banks… It’s in a completely different sector that no one is watching — and when it pops, the crash effects will be nothing like what most people are preparing for.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jamie Coutts, Chief Crypto Analyst at Real Vision, joins to break down why Bitcoin’s current bull market looks nothing like the cycles of the past — and what that means for investors navigating the storm ahead. From shifting liquidity regimes to the rise of Bitcoin treasury companies, Jamie reveals how debt, deficits, and central bank policy are reshaping crypto’s place in the global financial system. In this conversation, we dig into why the classic 4-year cycle is breaking down, how fiscal dominance is rewriting the rules of markets, and why Bitcoin’s next explosive volatility may decide the winners and losers of the treasury “arms race.” Jamie also explains where Ethereum and other large-cap cryptos fit into this moment, and what the battle between Trump, Powell, and global liquidity means for the future of money.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tom Luongo, publisher of Gold, Goats ‘n Guns, joins to reveal why today’s global chaos isn’t random — it’s the deliberate strategy of elites fighting to preserve their power. From collapsing currencies to radicalization on the streets, Tom explains how history’s cycles of debt, war, and money printing are converging into an 80-year reckoning. In this conversation, we explore why “when money dies, radicalization rises,” how central banks weaponize disorder to maintain control, and why the dollar’s accelerating death spiral could reshape sovereignty worldwide. Tom also shares his outlook on Bitcoin’s role in the storm ahead, and the choices nations and individuals must make as the old financial order unravels.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Brandon Quittem, author and longtime Bitcoiner, joins to unpack why Bitcoin isn’t just an asset but the foundation of a new financial system — and why treasury companies like MicroStrategy may be the most fascinating story in corporate finance in a generation. From Bitcoin’s correlation to global liquidity cycles to the rise of Bitcoin-powered securities, Brandon explains how capital trapped in legacy mandates is being unlocked and funneled into BTC. In this conversation, we dive into the difference between pure-play Bitcoin treasuries and operating companies, and how volatility itself becomes a feature, not a bug. Brandon also explores whether these new Bitcoin corporations can outperform BTC over the next five years, the risks of “Ponzi-adjacent” upstarts, and why the very metrics we use to evaluate companies are being rewritten in the Bitcoin era.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I wish I would've gone to something like this earlier. Can't wait to see you there 👉 https://go.1markmoss.com/mmyt3 There's the Thanksgiving story, you know, and then there's a major part of the story that you don't. And now, for 28 years, on Thanksgiving Day, radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh, he read part of this Thanksgiving story. It's been about four years since he's died. And I think it's time for me to bring it back, because most people have no idea how close the pilgrims came to failing. And the reason why is nothing like the version that you learned in school. And whether you live in America or you live in some other country. This story matters because every nation rises and collapses on the same principle that the pilgrims discovered out of sheer desperation. Now, what happened next didn't just save this starving settlement.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"They literally CAN'T let a recession happen - and I'm about to show you the mathematical proof that changes everything you think you know about what's coming next. See, everyone's been waiting for the crash for two years now... defensively positioned, sitting in cash, missing out - but what if I told you the Fed is “TRAPPED” ... in a $35 trillion dollar corner where allowing a recession would collapse the entire system?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

CJ Konstantinos, founder of People’s Reserve, joins to explore why the U.S. dollar is trapped in a debt death spiral and why Bitcoin isn’t a competitor to the dollar but its necessary complement. From the dollar’s role as a medium of exchange to Bitcoin’s design as engineered money and absolute digital scarcity, CJ explains how pairing the two could extend the life of the dollar while creating a foundation for sound capital. Drawing from his own experience of buying a home with 100 bitcoin, he unpacks the painful lessons of opportunity cost and why holders need tools to unlock purchasing power without selling their BTC.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Aleks Svetski, author of The Bushido of Bitcoin and entrepreneur behind new ventures like Atlantis, returns to explore why capital alone isn’t enough — and why character, virtue, and community must stand alongside money to build a meaningful future. From Bitcoin’s role as a foundation of sound capital to the need for beauty, excellence, and integrity, Aleks unpacks how civilization risks turning into a strip mall when we optimize only for profit. In this conversation, we dive into the balance of capital and character, the rise of borderless living, and the evolution from social networks into engagement farms. Aleks explains why algorithms and cheap capital erode society, and how projects like Atlantis aim to rebuild authentic community in the real world. We also discuss the future of decentralized identity with Noster, the bifurcation of society into creators and consumers, and why this era could mark the most transformative shift in human civilization in centuries.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
