Reflecting on Episode 56 of BitcoinHardTalk, titled "Bitcoin: Peace Amidst Chaos – Assassinations, Exploding Devices & Preventing WW3!", it’s impossible to ignore the escalating tensions that are drawing the world closer to the precipice of disaster. Over the past week, we’ve seen a second assassination attempt on Donald Trump, a wave of bombings in Lebanon, and the continued deterioration of global peace as war creeps across borders.

The world today feels like a powder keg—ready to explode at any moment. But amidst the chaos, there’s a different conversation happening. It’s not one that most of the mainstream media is willing to have, and it’s certainly not one that the political class will address. But it’s a conversation about control, power, and the nature of peace. And at the heart of this conversation is Bitcoin.

If you missed the live stream, I highly encourage you to watch the full video above. This is one of the most crucial times in modern history, and it's essential that we all stay informed and engaged in understanding the broader picture.

The Assassination Attempts and Lebanon Bombings: Symptoms of a Deeper Rot

In this week’s episode, I highlighted two events that should serve as major wake-up calls: the assassination attempts on Trump and the bombings in Lebanon. These events are not just isolated acts of violence; they are part of a larger strategy by those in power to control narratives, manipulate nations, and maintain their grip on global financial and political systems.

The assassination attempts, particularly on a figure as polarizing as Trump, are indicative of the fragility of political systems in the US. Whether you support him or not, the fact that political violence is even in play tells us something is deeply wrong with the system. It's a symptom of a power struggle that has much more to do with maintaining control than with democracy or justice.

Then there’s Lebanon. The bombings—targeting civilians as much as military figures—remind us that modern warfare is rarely about nations at war. Instead, it's about covert operations, proxy conflicts, and maintaining power in a world where control over resources and narratives is key. Israel, through Mossad, is engaged in operations that push the boundaries of international law, all under the radar of the mainstream narrative. The expansion of conflict into Lebanon, without an official declaration of war, is a move that should make us all stop and reflect: How did we get here? And more importantly, where are we headed?

The True Nature of Control: Central Banks and the Military-Industrial Complex

At the heart of these geopolitical tensions is a core belief I’ve held for many years: central banks and the military-industrial complex are the real drivers of global chaos. The assassination attempts, the bombings, the escalating tensions in the Middle East, and the increasing geopolitical instability—these are all symptoms of a system designed to perpetuate conflict.

Why? Because conflict is profitable.

The central banking system, led by entities like the Federal Reserve, profits from war. It thrives on debt, manipulation, and control. As I said in the episode, these banks are not working in the interest of the people; they are working for their shareholders—the financial elites who profit from inflation, war, and endless cycles of economic destruction. This is a system built on lies, where the true cost is borne by the masses—through inflation, financial apartheid, and the bloodshed of wars fought in their name.

And yet, amidst all this, Bitcoin stands as a peaceful alternative. This is not just about money; this is about sovereignty, about reclaiming control over our lives from a system that has exploited us for too long.

Bitcoin: The Tool for Peaceful Resistance

In times of war and financial instability, people tend to look for heroes or political figures to lead them out of crisis. But what we need is not another leader, but a revolution in how we think about money, power, and control. This is where Bitcoin comes in.

Bitcoin is more than an investment or a financial asset. It is a tool for peaceful resistance against the very system that thrives on chaos and conflict. It is a way to opt out of the debt-based Ponzi schemes that central banks perpetuate, to protect ourselves from the inflation that robs us of our wealth, and to resist the endless wars that benefit only a small handful of elites.

As I discussed in this week’s episode, countries like Bhutan and El Salvador are leading the way by building Bitcoin reserves. They’re not just accumulating Bitcoin for financial gain—they’re opting out of a system that has kept nations in debt and under control for decades. Bhutan is moving away from the IMF's grip, while El Salvador is using Bitcoin to build a strategic reserve that will allow it to eventually free itself from the clutches of international creditors.

This isn’t just about national sovereignty; it’s about personal sovereignty as well. By holding Bitcoin, you take control of your own financial future. You no longer rely on the central banks to dictate the value of your money. You no longer need to be a pawn in their endless wars. Every Satoshi you hold is a step toward freedom, toward peace, and away from the chaos they want you to believe is inevitable.

The Looming Threat of CBDCs and AI: Are You Prepared?

While Bitcoin offers hope, we must also be prepared for the challenges that lie ahead. Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) are coming, and they are a direct threat to the financial freedom that Bitcoin represents. CBDCs will allow governments and central banks to have unprecedented control over your money. They will know where every dollar goes, and they will be able to freeze accounts, limit spending, and manipulate economies in ways that we cannot fully comprehend yet.

And then there’s AI. The automation revolution is well underway, and with it comes the displacement of jobs and entire industries. Many are unprepared for this reality, believing that the systems we have today will continue to serve them tomorrow. But the truth is, millions will be left behind if they don’t take action now to protect themselves.

What Can You Do?

At this point, it’s not enough to simply watch from the sidelines. You need to prepare. You need to position yourself ahead of these massive shifts. If you haven’t already, I encourage you to explore the Bitcoin Wealth Builder Program, launching in 2025. This is designed to help you protect your wealth, understand Bitcoin, and navigate the financial future that is rapidly approaching.

Stay informed, stay prepared, and most importantly—stay sovereign.

Final Thoughts: Is Peace Still Possible?

As I closed out Episode 56, I couldn’t shake the feeling that we are on the edge of something massive—whether that be war or a revolution in how we understand power and control. The central banking system, driven by war profiteers and financial elites, wants us to believe that conflict is inevitable. But I don’t believe that’s true. We have the tools to resist, to opt out, and to create a more peaceful and equitable world.

But it’s up to us. Bitcoin is our tool for peaceful resistance, and the time to use it is now. Watch the video, educate yourself, and take action. The stakes have never been higher.
