Who Controls Bitcoin? 16 Years of Data and a 13-Year-Old Hard Drive | EP270 | @secsovereign

Nik Bhatia called Bitcoin a once-in-a-millennium monetary event before most people understood what Bitcoin was. Now he has a second book, a course at USC Marshall, and the global monetary system is doing exactly what he said it would do. This is one of the most important conversations we have had on this show. We discuss: Why the dollar is a Jedi mind trick almost everyone has fallen for\ How Bitcoin and the dollar can coexist — and why that matters\ Why gold is old and Bitcoin is young\ The liquidity cycle that determines where Bitcoin goes next Subscribe so you never miss an episode. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎙️ GUEST ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Nik Bhatia @timevalueofbtc → https://x.com/timevalueofbtc The Bitcoin Layer → thebitcoinlayer.com Bitcoin Age → Amazon and Audible Layered Money → Amazon and Audible ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 💰 SPONSORS & DISCOUNTS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔑 Stamp Seed — Between 3-6 million Bitcoin are lost forever.

Nobody told Connor Dolan that the Stoics figured out Bitcoin 2,000 years before Satoshi — but after a year of research, he proved it. Connor Dolan — VP of Enterprise Sales at Unchained, former BlackRock and Capital Group — joins The Bitcoin Matrix to break down why Bitcoin and Stoicism are the two most powerful forces shaping how we think about time, money, and how to actually live. We cover why Bitcoin is the MAP and Stoicism is the COMPASS, how a plastic yellow piggy bank on a kitchen counter started Connor's lifelong obsession with money, why the most educated and successful people are always last to understand Bitcoin, what Memento Mori has to do with your sat stack, how modern monetary policy destroys your ability to delay gratification, why Bitcoin is the reverse marshmallow test, the moment Connor had to tell his wife that the thing he'd been calling the future of finance was down 80%, and how leaving BlackRock for Bitcoin was the easiest decision he ever made. "There are only two perfectly scarce resources in this world: time and Bitcoin." — Connor Dolan "It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live." — Marcus Aurelius Subscribe so you never miss an episode. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎙️ GUEST ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Connor Dolan → https://x.com/conhodlan ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 💰 SPONSORS & DISCOUNTS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔑 Stamp Seed — 15% OFF stampseed.com | code MATRIX 🐟 Firefish — 0% fees on first loan through April 30 firefish.io/?ref=MATRIX | code MATRIX 🔐 Unchained — 10% OFF unchained.com/matrix | code MATRIX10 🏕️ Camp Nakamoto — 15% OFF campnakamoto.com | code MATRIX 💎 River — Up to $100 FREE Bitcoin river.com/matrix 🛡️ Meanwhile — Bitcoin Life Insurance meanwhile.bm | code YTPFYD ☕ Ora Cacao — 10% OFF snwbl.io/ora/CEDRIC02233 | code CEDRIC02233 🤝 Want to sponsor the show? thebitcoinmatrix.com/sponsors ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🙏 SUPPORT THE SHOW ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⚡ Strike → [email protected] 💵 PayPal → paypal.biz/BitcoinMatrix 💚 Cash App → cash.app/$BitcoinMatrix 💜 Venmo → venmo.com/u/bitcoinmatrix 📬 PO Box → The Bitcoin Matrix, P.O.

Nobody could explain how we get from today to a Bitcoin Standard — until now. MarylandHODL21 and Cris Reed join The Bitcoin Matrix to break down STRC, Strategy's capital flywheel, and why very few people understand what's actually happening in the financial system right now. We cover why STRC is Bitcoin's iPhone moment, how two financial systems are running simultaneously, the apex carry trade, why real inflation is closer to 8% and what that does to every "safe" instrument you own, the M-NAV cycle and how Sailor is managing it, and how the bridge from fiat to Bitcoin is being built in real time. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎙️ GUESTS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ MarylandHODL21 on X → https://x.com/MarylandHODL21 Cris Reed on X → https://x.com/CrisReed ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 💰 SPONSORS & DISCOUNTS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔑 Stamp Seed — 15% OFF stampseed.com | code MATRIX 🐟 Firefish — 0% fees on first loan through April 30 firefish.io/?ref=MATRIX | code MATRIX 🔐 Unchained — 10% OFF unchained.com/matrix | code MATRIX10 🏕️ Camp Nakamoto — 15% OFF campnakamoto.com | code MATRIX 💎 River — Up to $100 FREE Bitcoin river.com/matrix 🛡️ Meanwhile — Bitcoin Life Insurance meanwhile.bm | code YTPFYD ☕ Ora Cacao — 10% OFF snwbl.io/ora/CEDRIC02233 | code CEDRIC02233 🤝 Want to sponsor the show? thebitcoinmatrix.com/sponsors ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🙏 SUPPORT THE SHOW ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⚡ Strike → [email protected] 💵 PayPal → paypal.biz/BitcoinMatrix 💚 Cash App → cash.app/$BitcoinMatrix 💜 Venmo → venmo.com/u/bitcoinmatrix 📬 PO Box → The Bitcoin Matrix, P.O.

In this episode, I sit down with Roberto Rios aka Peruvian Bull, and he didn’t come to play it safe. Fresh off breaking news the morning of recording, we kick things off with the Jane Street manipulation lawsuit and what it might mean for Bitcoin price action. We cover the terrifying thesis of The Great Taking, why you may not actually own the stocks in your brokerage account, China’s secret gold accumulation strategy and what it signals about the dollar’s future, the slow-motion collapse of Japan’s bond market, and how silver is finally breaking free from decades of paper price suppression. ––– Offers & Discounts ––– 🔐 Stamp Seed - Get 15% OFF Never loose your Seedphrase - Fireproof, crushproof and non-corrosive Use code: MATRIX || https://stampseed.com 🏕️ Camp Nakamoto - Get 15% OFF A Bitcoin conference meets summer camp, but on a 66-acre private island in the middle of New Hampshire's largest lake.

After watching Lebanese banks steal his life savings overnight, Tony Yazbeck went from cybersecurity veteran to full-on Bitcoin sovereignty advocate. Now as co-founder of The Bitcoin Way, he’s on a mission to make sure what happened to him doesn’t happen to you. This conversation gets real, we’re talking bank collapses, self-custody, opting out of the system entirely, and why proper Bitcoin education might be the most important thing you do in 2026. ––– Offers & Discounts ––– 🔐 Stamp Seed - Never loose your Seedphrase Fireproof, crushproof and non-corrosive Get 15% off - Use code: MATRIX || https://stampseed.com 🏥 CrowdHealth - Ditch your fiat health insurance like my family did.

In this episode, I’m sitting down with Tom Luongo for the sixth time, and he makes a bold case: the chaos you’re watching in Western politics, the wars, the censorship, the financial pressure, it doesn’t trace back to China, it doesn’t trace back to Russia. It traces back to Europe. And specifically to a colonial power structure that never really let go. We’re diving into why Trump’s second term is less about one man and more about a historic battle over who actually controls American monetary and foreign policy. This one goes deep into geopolitics, monetary history, capital markets, and what it really means to opt out of a system that was never designed to work in your favour. ––– Offers & Discounts ––– 🏥 CrowdHealth - Ditch your fiat health insurance like my family did.

In this episode, I’m sitting down with Joe Burnett for the fourth time to discuss his piece “The Singularity Has Begun” and this might just be our most important conversation yet. Joe makes a bold case: as intelligence becomes abundant and essentially free, wealth itself starts to melt. When AI models write their own code and you can spin up a trillion Albert Einsteins on demand, what happens to your savings? Your assets? Everything you’ve worked for? This goes deep into scarcity, abundance, money, and what it means to preserve wealth in a world being fundamentally reshaped by intelligence itself. ––– Offers & Discounts ––– 🏥 CrowdHealth - Ditch your fiat health insurance like my family did.

In this episode, I'm chatting with Andy Schoonover, the founder and CEO of CrowdHealth, a revolutionary community-powered alternative to health insurance that’s helping thousands of people fund their healthcare through crowdfunding, not corporate middlemen. But here’s where it gets really interesting: Andy’s not just disrupting healthcare, he’s building Bitcoin circularity into the system, working with major hospital networks to accept Bitcoin payments and create a parallel economy where your healthcare dollars never touch the broken fiat system. In this conversation, we dive deep into medical freedom, why the insurance industry is fundamentally broken, how CrowdHealth is achieving zero bankruptcies among their members, and Andy’s bold vision for a Bitcoin-powered healthcare future. ––– Offers & Discounts ––– 🏥 CrowdHealth - Ditch your fiat health insurance like my family did.

In this episode, I sit down with Dave Collum. We dive deep into why the financial legends who warned us about insane market bubbles back in 2015 might not have been wrong – they might have just been early. We’re talking about an economy at 35,000 feet with its engines on fire, and the solution has been to climb to 45,000 feet. That doesn’t fix the problem. This is raw, unfiltered truth about corruption, fake jobs, market insanity, and why keeping your head on a swivel has never been more important. ––– Offers & Discounts ––– 🏥 CrowdHealth - Ditch your fiat health insurance like my family did.
