Hey-Hey Bitcoin Wealth Builders,

This week on #BitcoinHardTalk Ep. 104, we’re cutting through the headlines and getting to the real meaning behind the newly announced U.S.–China Trade Deal—and how it ties directly to the Proof of Weapons Network shaping the next global order.

This Week in Bitcoin

  • How the U.S. Government’s Bitcoin holdings are building through confiscation —and which countries may be building strategic Bitcoin reserves.
  • JP Morgan’s latest Bitcoin strategy—are the banks preparing for collateralised loans or just new layers of control?
  • BlackRock’s Bitcoin strategy—how much BTC is now indirectly held under their ETFs, and why it matters.

This Week in Macro

  • The U.S.–China Trade Deal Isn’t What You Think—we’ll decode what’s really being exchanged.
  • AI layoffs—where the job cuts are hitting first, and how automation is accelerating the K-shaped economy.
  • The latest signs of dollar devaluation—and how the trade deal fits into the long-term plan of US fiscal dominance.

This Week in Geopolitics

  • The latest Gaza–Israel ceasefire update—why the ceasefire will hold and what each side is buying time for.
  • Media pivot to Sudan—what’s really behind the sudden focus shift, and how proxy wars evolve through attention management.
  • What all of this signals for the Proof of Weapons Network, and what to expect next when we follow the money behind the wars.
