🇺🇸 🇮🇷 🇮🇱 Bitcoin Stability, US Destabilization & Iran War: What Next? | BitcoinHardTalk Episode 85

In a week where the Bitcoin charts were deceptively calm, the global chessboard was being reset at a chaotic pace. The headlines won't tell you the real story, but the money never lies. While the media focused on market noise, governments were quietly repositioning Bitcoin as monetary insurance, the United States was accelerating an internal destabilization campaign, and a theatrical regime change operation began unfolding in Iran.

This isn't just a collection of random events; it's a coordinated transition. In Episode 85 of Bitcoin Hard Talk, we follow the money to uncover the agenda they don't want you to see: the assimilation of Bitcoin by the West, the engineered civil unrest in America designed to usher in a technocratic control grid, and the quiet deals replacing forever wars in the Middle East.

Here’s what you need to know.

Part 1: New Bitcoin Strategic reserves, Stablecoins & treasury companies | This Week in Bitcoin

While the price was stable, the plumbing of the global financial system was undergoing a seismic shift. This week wasn’t about adoption; it was about assimilation and strategic positioning.

Nation-States Make Their Move

The trend of governments seeking monetary insurance through Bitcoin is accelerating. A wave of nations is quietly building strategic reserves:

• Brazil: A committee approved a bill that would allow Brazil to establish a Bitcoin strategic reserve.
• Russia: Following last week's announcement, Russia's Bitcoin-backed bonds ("BitBonds") and Bitcoin futures are now live on the Moscow Stock Exchange. This signals a clear financial strategy within the BRICS network.
• Ukraine: In the midst of war, Ukraine drafted a new law to potentially include digital assets like Bitcoin in its national reserves.
• South Korea: The new, Bitcoin-friendly president introduced legislation to allow banks to adopt Bitcoin, alongside a plan for regulated crypto stablecoins.

Stablecoins & Bitcoin Treasury Companies 

In the West:

• Stablecoins are the Gateway: The push for stablecoins is relentless. The Genius Act, which provides a regulatory framework for stablecoins, passed a key vote in the US Senate. This is paving the way for a system where stablecoins, backed by US Treasuries, are used for a new form of quantitative easing that circumvents the Fed.
• The Banksters Are Coming: A flood of institutions are issuing their own stablecoins, from the $1.5 trillion Deutsche Bank to giants like Walmart, Amazon, and Shopify. Even the DTCC, the central clearinghouse for all US stock trades, is considering its own stablecoin, threatening to disintermediate the entire brokerage industry.
• Zombie Companies Find a New Life: Failing public companies are rebranding their balance sheets by buying Bitcoin. GameStop announced a $1.75 billion offering to purchase BTC, while Block One, the controversial company behind the $4 billion EOS ICO, is now set to go public as a massive Bitcoin treasury company, potentially the second-largest in the world.

This is a deliberate strategy to introduce counterparty risk and lure you into their system. They want you to own Bitcoin through their ETFs and public companies so their banks can leverage it. The only way to resist this monetary capture is to own your keys. If you are not holding your Bitcoin in self-custody, you are not peacefully boycotting the system; you are participating in it.

Part 2: US Civil unrest for One Big Beautiful Palantir Surveillance Bill | This Week in Macro

The biggest macro story is not inflation or interest rates. It is the intentional, systematic destabilization of the United States, engineered by the very powers meant to protect it. This is a controlled demolition designed to monetize the empire's decline and usher in a new era of technocratic control.

Follow the Money Behind the Chaos:

• Political Theatre: Trump's rhetoric about 55% tariffs on China is a distraction. The real policy is the "repatriation trade," a strategy designed by BlackRock and the "Proof of Weapons network" to force capital out of the dollar and into a multi-polar world where they have already invested. This is causing the dollar (DXY) to hit recent lows, falling below the psychological $98 mark.
• Engineered Civil Unrest: The scenes from Los Angeles are not organic. They are part of a well-funded, algorithmically triggered destabilization campaign, beta-tested in the UK and Europe. The playbook is simple: the Biden administration delivered open borders; the Trump administration will now deliver mass deportations. This creates fear and manufactures outrage, causing the public to beg for a solution.
• The Solution is the Trap: That solution is a surveillance state. The "Big Beautiful Bill" being rushed through Congress will print over $1 trillion, with massive contracts going to surveillance companies like Palantir. It's a business model where private prison corporations like GEO Group and Core Civic profit from every arrest and deportation. Your First Amendment "freedom of speech" on social media is being used to collect the data to build your social credit score. Your Second Amendment right to bear arms will be met with the same drone technology and "terrorist" designations being beta-tested in Gaza and Ukraine.

The violent colonial model the US used abroad for decades is now turning inward. The government is subordinate to a stateless "Proof of Weapons network"—a coalition of corporate, financial, and military interests that profits from volatility and control. They are intentionally weakening the dollar to profit from currency trades while their hedge funds get ahead of the capital flight. The end goal is a technocratic social credit score integrated with a programmable stablecoin, and they are using manufactured chaos to make you beg for it.

Part 3: Will Israel Strikes On Iran Lead To World War 3? | This Week in GeoPolitics

As we went live, Israel was conducting strikes inside Iran. But this is not the beginning of World War 3. This is the final act of a multi-decade geopolitical theatre, an orchestrated regime change operation agreed upon by all major powers to usher in a new era of peace and prosperity in the Middle East.

What They’re Not Telling You:

• The Strikes Were Pre-Approved: Iran has the capability to defend itself, yet these strikes are happening with virtually no resistance. Hezbollah in Lebanon and militias in Iraq have stood down. This indicates the operation was pre-approved by the new reformist leadership in Iran, the GCC, Russia, and the US. It's a strategy to surgically remove the hardline elements of the IRGC that stand in the way of normalization.
• It’s the End of the Military-Industrial Game: For decades, the strategic tension between Iran and Israel has generated trillions in profits for the military-industrial complex. That era is over. The financial faction of the Proof of Weapons network, represented by BlackRock and Wall Street, has taken over. Their priority is regional investment, data centers, and AI—not forever wars. This operation provides a theatrical exit for all parties.
• Everyone Gets to Declare Victory: Netanyahu gets to tell his people he "neutralized Iran's nuclear threat," providing him an exit amid domestic turmoil. Trump gets to take credit for a historic peace deal, even though it was brokered by BRICS and the GCC. Iran's new leadership gets sanctions relief and economic prosperity without admitting defeat.

What Comes Next?

This is the execution of a long-negotiated plan to decolonize the region. After this final theatrical exchange, expect to see the following:

1. A Ceasefire in Gaza: A ceasefire deal between Hamas and Israel will be suddenly reached, as the primary roadblock—Iran's support for the resistance—is removed as part of the grand bargain.
2. Sanctions Relief and Normalization: Iran will receive sanctions relief and fully integrate into the regional economy, working with China, Russia, and the GCC.
3. A Palestinian Future: With the old guard gone, a real plan for Palestinian self-determination, like the "Palestine Emerging Initiative," will be funded and enforced by the GCC, Egypt, and Jordan, rebuilding Gaza in the model of Singapore.

Final Thoughts: Don't Confuse Bitcoin's Calm With the System's Stability

Bitcoin isn't volatile. The world is.

This week, we witnessed the blueprint for the final iteration of the debt-based Ponzi scheme. The quiet capture of finance, the engineered transfer of the dollar order, and the geopolitical reprogramming of the Middle East are all happening at once. The press won't headline this, and your bank won't warn you.

But if you follow the money, you can see the plan:

• They are building a programmable fiat control grid disguised as innovation.
• They are weaponizing stablecoins to reset bond markets and transfer profits from the government to technology companies.
• They are turning civil unrest into monetizable data and a pretext for a privatized surveillance state.
• And they are laundering this transition into the future by calling it "decentralized".

Bitcoin doesn't care. It works in Gaza, it works in Texas, it works under sanctions, and it works outside institutional custody. The only way to beat the Proof of Weapons network is to become economically powerful yourself. You do that by using peaceful Proof of Work that beats the inflation they create.

The only question left is: will you use it like they want you to—or like it was meant to be used?

Because if you're not holding your keys, you're not free. You're just temporarily tolerated.
