The Proof-of-Weapons (POW) Network is accelerating its strategy to lock Bitcoin wealth builders into the fiat Ponzi scheme.
I analyzed the launch of three new financial weapons this week: Crypto Index ETFs, Nasdaq’s plan for stock tokenization, and Tether's US-regulated stablecoin (USAT)—a covert CBDC designed to dump America's $37 trillion national debt onto global holders.
Simultaneously, the network is absorbing the massive TikTok platform. The deal, which mandates storing all US user data on Oracle servers and grants majority control to US financial entities, turns the digital asset into a strategic component of the Consumption Industrial Complex (CIC), accelerating the path toward a social credit score technocracy.
The collapse of the publicly listed Bitcoin treasury company Nakamoto (down 96% from its peak) serves as a stark lesson: the path to sovereignty is self-custody, not relying on middlemen controlled by Wall Street.
Hey-Hey, Bitcoin Wealth Builders!
I am back to decode the systems converging on Bitcoin, AI, and Central Bank Digital Currencies. The main overarching theme this week is the motivation behind the assassination of Charlie Kirk, but to understand the geopolitical and macro shifts, I need to first detail how the Proof-of-Weapons Network is actively constructing financial weapons to intercept your Bitcoin and lock you into the fiat currency debt-based Ponzi scheme.
The network wants your Bitcoin because they cannot control its fixed supply, so they must persuade you to hold it with them or buy proxy assets.
The Collapse of Nakamoto and the Saylor Trap
For years, I have warned about the risk of relying on middlemen to hold your Bitcoin. This week provided a painful lesson: the publicly listed Bitcoin treasury company, Nakamoto, collapsed. The stock is now down a catastrophic 96% from its peak, with 50% wiped out in a single day alone. I hope anyone who was fooled by the hype surrounding the Bitcoin Treasury guy, David Bailey, treats this as an investment lesson: all you need to do is simplify your life and own Bitcoin in self-custody.
The POW network’s strategy is clear: acquire your Bitcoin through controlled capital markets. Even the best-known Bitcoin treasury company, Strategy (Michael Saylor’s firm), faces this control. It was not included in the S&P 500 this week. Why does that matter? Inclusion wraps it into ETFs, meaning passive managers like BlackRock accumulate shares, influencing the company’s direction, board, and eventually holding the ability to acquire the asset at a discount. I am certain Strategy will eventually be included, becoming another tool for the POW network in the two-tiered Bitcoin economy—Bitcoin with them (Wall Street) and Bitcoin with us (sovereign self-custody).
My suggestion for a next step is to simplify your life now; use the free guide I provide on self-custody to make sure you are not subjecting yourself to the market manipulation the network engages in.
The Three New Financial Weapons
The Proof-of-Weapons Network is launching three new financial weapons as fast as possible in this transition to a multipolar world:
- Weapon 1: Crypto Index ETFs. The POW network has gained approval for crypto index ETFs. This allows passive investment to flood into "shitcoins," enabling firms like BlackRock to become significant holders. By acquiring these Proof-of-Stake currencies, they gain influence over the governance of the network, unlike Bitcoin, which is Proof-of-Work. Furthermore, anything with a futures market on Coinbase can now apply for an ETF, creating an accelerated path to approval for financial weapons of mass destruction.
- Weapon 2: Tokenization of Stocks. Nasdaq has filed with the SEC to allow tokenization and blockchain listing of stocks. This is the Goldman Sachs playbook. It means turning US service-based assets into digital tokens, furthering the financialization and securitization of the economy to roll over the debt-based Ponzi scheme.
- Weapon 3: Stablecoins (Covert CBDCs). Stablecoins are covert Central Bank Digital Currencies. Tether is launching its US-regulated dollar-backed stablecoin, USAT, under the Genius Act. I believe the Genius Act is a mechanism for finding a new market to dump America's spiralling debt. Tether’s stablecoins make users bag holders of US debt. Tether has already announced $13 billion in profit and is now the 18th largest holder of US Treasuries globally, owning more US debt than Germany, South Korea, or Australia.
I noted that even Russian President Putin’s advisor, Anton Kobyakov, accused the US of using crypto promotion to manage its $37 trillion national debt. He argues this mirrors US actions in 1933, when it hiked gold prices to devalue the dollar by 40%, and the 1971 Nixon Shock, when the US defaulted on its gold convertibility. Stablecoins are just the latest tool in this multi-decade strategy of dollar devaluation.
The TikTok Absorption: Integrating the Consumption Complex
The mandated TikTok deal is not primarily about national security; it is about integrating this massive Consumption Industrial Complex (CIC) asset directly into the existing US power structure.
I broke down the key terms of the spin-off:
- Approximately 80% ownership goes to US investors.
- The board will be mostly American, including a US government-appointed seat.
- Crucially, all US user data must be stored on Oracle servers in the US.
This Oracle requirement is the physical choke point. Oracle is a CIA-funded node, built using Pentagon budget technology. By mandating this structure, the network ensures that the ultimate financial oversight remains with the massive asset managers—BlackRock, Vanguard, State Street—who own large chunks of the US investors involved (Oracle, KKR).
This process is about aligning TikTok’s information flow and cultural influence (the CIC) with the broader US strategic goals defined by the POW network. This absorption represents one step closer to the US social credit score technocracy. TikTok will be combined with nodes like Palantir and Elon Musk's X (Twitter), integrating pre-crime data scraping, surveillance, and programmable centralized money.

Even the Trump family knows what is coming: they have added $1.3 billion to their net worth due to Bitcoin and crypto investments, effectively shorting the dollar while implementing these crypto policies. To commemorate this, a golden statue of President Trump holding a Bitcoin was placed outside the US Capitol.
Resistance and Sovereignty
The Proof-of-Weapons Network is global, and its strategy involves vassalizing allies. The announcement of a new crypto cooperation deal between the US and the UK is simply designed to tokenize and financialize the UK economy for BlackRock’s interests.
However, some sovereign nations are resisting. Kazakhstan’s President has ordered the creation of a Bitcoin strategic reserve for his country. Like El Salvador and Bhutan, these countries are seeking financial independence from the IMF and the dollar standard.
Your only defense against the Proof-of-Weapons Network’s financialization, confiscation, and debt slavery is to choose the peaceful resistance of self-custody.
My suggestion for a next step is to research the structure of the Genius Act and how stablecoins are legally permitted to acquire US Treasuries, so you understand exactly how you are becoming a bag holder of the national debt.

The analysis provided herein distills complex global developments—including the financialisation of US debt through stablecoins, the political economy of the mandated TikTok deal, and the structural risks of centralized Bitcoin proxies—into an accessible format for educational and informational purposes only.
I assert that the central thesis regarding the Proof-of-Weapons Network's operations, the use of Tether's USAT stablecoin to fund national debt via the Genius Act, and the interpretation of the TikTok deal as an absorption of a Consumption Industrial Complex (CIC) asset are presented as analytical frameworks derived from following monetary flows, historical analysis, and my professional perspective.
