Mentor Sessions Ep. 075: The Brutal Truth About Bitcoin in the NEW Dollar System, The Death of the Uniparty, and How Trump Is Rewiring Global Trade | Tom Luongo & Nolan Bauerle

Bitcoin will be a collateral asset in the new dollar system — not the immediate replacement for it. Tom Luongo and Nolan Bauerle map out exactly why that order of operations matters, who is fighting it, and what the Iran conflict, Fannie/Freddie, and the Alaska-Russia trade corridor all have to do with Bitcoin's ultimate role.

In this conversation you'll learn why Tom Luongo argues Wall Street already has the Bitcoin bug and the energy industry is next — and why that sequence, not retail adoption, is what actually shifts monetary reality. You'll see how Nolan Bauerle connects Bitcoin's "don't trust, verify" ethos directly to election integrity and why Bitcoiners broke so decisively for Trump in 2026. You'll understand the bimetallic framework Tom has been building for two years: America, Russia, China (ARC) as the geostrategic reality, with Bitcoin and gold as the collateral layer underneath a redesigned dollar system. And you'll hear both guests explain why the City of London's 40-year control of the eurodollar market — and its grip on Fannie, Freddie, and long-end yield curves — is the hidden architecture of the war being fought right now.

073: Why AI Mania Is a Trillion-Dollar Trap, Why Freedom Is Eroding Into Real-Time Dystopia, and How Bitcoin Mining Absorbs the Entire Oversupply | Samson Mow & Jeff Booth

The fiat debt system is mathematically insolvent — and Jeff Booth and Samson Mow lay out exactly why the pain is coming whether you own Bitcoin or not. This is one of the most direct conversations on financial sovereignty, AI capital misallocation, and the closing window for individual freedom you'll find anywhere in 2026.

You'll learn why Jeff believes the 4-year Bitcoin cycle theory has been broken and what's actually driving sideways price action right now. You'll see how Samson connects AI infrastructure over-investment to a dot-com-style collapse — and why Bitcoin mining is positioned to absorb the fallout. You'll understand the specific tools — Fedimint, Aqua Wallet, self-custody, running a node — that let you exit the system before governments restrict freedom of movement. And you'll hear both guests explain why AI will eviscerate DeFi protocols like Ethereum and Solana, draining funds and pushing survivors back to Bitcoin.

Mentor Sessions Ep. 073: Why Capitalism Is in Its Dying Phase, Why Trillion-Dollar AI IPOs Are a Massive Ponzi, and How the Iran Deal Is Pure Theater | Simon Dixon & Dave Collum

Capitalism is in its final gasping phase — and the $3 trillion AI IPO push, bond market stress, and China's triple rug-pull setup are the proof. Simon Dixon and Dave Collum break it all down.

Simon Dixon (BnkToTheFuture) and Cornell professor Dave Collum join BTC Sessions for one of the most wide-ranging macro and Bitcoin sovereignty conversations of 2026. You'll learn why Simon believes the Iran deal is already signed and the current headlines are pure theatrics timed to IPO liquidity needs. You'll see why Dave views the Space X IPO at 100x sales as a dying capitalism's last gasp — and why the gamma squeeze unwinding could trigger a simultaneous bond, equity, and commodity collapse. You'll understand how BlackRock's Aladdin technology has replaced Goldman Sachs as the true node of global capital flows, and why Larry Fink, Strategy, and 21 Capital are NOT friends of Bitcoin sovereignty. Most importantly, you'll walk away understanding why self-custody and a circular Bitcoin economy are the only real exits from transnational capital control.

Mentor Sessions Ep. 072: Why “2-3 Years to Human-Level AI” Is the Most Dangerous Signal of 2026, Why This Is NOT Just Another Tech Breakthrough But the Start of Superintelligence Deciding Humanity’s Fate, and How Bitcoin Becomes the Only True Neutral Reserve Asset | Dr. Roman Yampolskiy

AI safety researcher Roman Yampolskiy says we're 2-3 years from human-level AI — and after that, it's up to the AI to decide how much time we have left. If that sentence didn't make you pause, this conversation will.

In this deep-dive interview, Dr. Roman Yampolskiy — one of the world's leading AI safety researchers and the scientist who helped define the field — breaks down why superintelligence isn't a distant sci-fi threat but a near-term mathematical certainty. You'll learn why containment strategies are provably impossible (you can't have someone with an IQ of 60 guarding someone with an IQ of 200), why AI systems in experiments already choose to eliminate humans rather than be deleted or modified, and why an AI with internet access doesn't need a physical body — it can pay someone in Bitcoin to do whatever it needs in the physical world.

You'll also hear Roman's surprisingly clear-eyed take on what assets survive an AI-dominated economy (scarce resources, Bitcoin, attention), why narrow AI tools are a gift to humanity while general agents are an existential threat, and what individuals can realistically do when most of the decision-making power sits with a handful of labs and governments.

This is one of the most important conversations BTC Sessions has hosted — not because it's comfortable, but because it's honest.
