This is Their Plan for 2026 And They’re Not Hiding it - Whitney Webb


This video confronts a hard truth many prefer to ignore: Bitcoin’s future is being quietly shaped not as a revolutionary currency, but as a compliant storage technology for global finance. Drawing connections between Wall Street figures, intelligence networks, and political theater, the discussion argues that elections and ideological branding mask a deeper continuity of power, one in which bankers dominate both the public and private sectors while presenting new financial architectures as liberation.

The analysis moves from Bitcoin’s deliberate depoliticisation to the restructuring of Latin America, with Argentina positioned as a testing ground for a new model of financial control. Under the banner of libertarian reform and shock therapy, monetary collapse and desperation are leveraged to force adoption of programmable, surveillable money systems tied to stable-coins, digital IDs, and tokenised commodities. The same corporate and financial actors, operating through venture networks and regional integration schemes, stand to control not only infrastructure and resources but the very rails of money itself. The warning is stark: if Bitcoin is stripped of its original ethos and absorbed fully into Wall Street’s machinery, it ceases to be a tool of dissent and becomes another instrument of managed dependency. The only real countermeasure, the argument insists, is cultural and technological resistance - reasserting Bitcoin as money, not merely digital property, and refusing compliance with systems built on surveillance and coercion.

The Government Is Not Your Friend

Bitcoiners need to stop begging the government for permission to exercise their rights. They are not our friends.

Yesterday’s guilty verdict for Roman Storm on the count of conspiracy to operate an unlicensed money service business is absolutely insane.

FinCEN, the regulator responsible for licensing, monitoring, and enforcement actions concerning criminal activity in money transmission has itself explicitly stated that self-custodial tooling that facilitates the transmission of value using cryptocurrencies are not money transmitters and are not subject to the relevant regulations.

So, how did we get here? Eight months after the election of a president who describes himself as a Bitcoin and cryptocurrency advocate, after the Department of Justice themselves have explicitly stated that they are not going to engage in regulation by prosecution, or prosecute mixing services, how was Roman Storm found guilty?

Was Bitcoin a Government Operation & Can it Still be Used to Fight Back? - Mark Goodwin


Joining today Mark Goodwin, former editor of Bitcoin Magazine, author, and current writer for Unlimited Hangout, here to discuss what has become a very contentious topic, Bitcoin. Long has the origin of Bitcoin been a topic of discussion, debate, and even drawing lines in the sand. The reason for this is largely due to the justifiable concern that the enigmatic "Satoshi Nakomoto" -- the pseudonym that we associate with the founding of Bitcoin - might be nothing more than a thin veneer hiding a long-planned government operation. That debate alone has caused major shifts in the blockchain/cryptocurrency communities. Then there is the next important question to ask: Even if this was started as a government operation (similar to many tools we use to fight back today, such as the internet itself) can it still be used or possibly altered in order to fight back? We cover this and much more today as we dive through the history of Bitcoin, the many ways that it is currently being used by the incoming Trump administration, and what the future may hold down that path.

Co-Opting Freedom? The Bitcoin Sleight Of Hand & The New AI Control Structure


Today the Independent Media Alliance brings you a panel focusing on the overlap of three main topics; the incoming Trump administration, Bitcoin as a potential strategic reserve, and artificial intelligence. Catherine Austin Fitts, Jason Bermas, Steve Poikonen and Ryan Cristian discuss the intersection of these three topics and what they mean for the future of Bitcoin, as well as the future of the United States and your individual freedom.
