It’s NOT US vs. China—It’s BlackRock vs. The World

Hosted by Simon Dixon

Duration: 2 hours 58 mins

Summary:

In Episode 80 of BitcoinHardTalk, Simon Dixon dismantles the illusion of a U.S. vs. China power struggle and exposes the real puppet master: BlackRock. This isn’t a trade war—it’s a transfer of control from sovereign states to stateless corporate overlords.

From ETF inflows and stablecoin engineering to geopolitical deception and institutional asset grabs, this episode unpacks how BlackRock is quietly seizing the reins of global finance—backed by AI, debt warfare, and influence networks that transcend borders.

This is the story of how Bitcoin became the last line of defense—and why self-custody is your only shot at economic freedom.
