It’s NOT US vs. China—It’s BlackRock vs. The World | #BitcoinHardTalk Episode 80

Hey hey Bitcoin Wealth Builders!

Welcome to BitcoinHardTalk Episode 80. The mainstream media wants you distracted with a tired narrative—some grand US vs. China trade war that’s been milked longer than a central bank’s promise to fight inflation. But the real power play isn’t about tariffs and trade deficits. It’s far more dangerous. Far more strategic. And far more hidden.

This isn’t a war between nations. This is BlackRock vs. the world.

While the world argues over flags and borders, BlackRock manipulates markets, influences legislation, captures governments, and rewires the global financial architecture in real time. From stablecoins to artificial intelligence, from sovereign debt to wars in Gaza and Ukraine, they’re pulling the levers—and Bitcoin is the lifeboat.

We’re going deep today. So buckle up. This one matters.

Bitcoin has officially overtaken Amazon, making it the fifth largest asset in the world. A historic milestone? Sure. But this isn’t just about price. It’s about positioning. And the institutions know it.

BlackRock is quietly engineering full-scale Bitcoin adoption through the backdoor of traditional finance. We’re witnessing massive inflows into the Bitcoin ETFs—and they’re not coming from retail. Every day for the past two weeks, institutions have been gobbling up Bitcoin via BlackRock’s ETF.

Meanwhile, Ethereum’s 20% pump, driven by a recent software update, gave Bitcoin the push it needed to reclaim six figures. But make no mistake—this is part of a much larger chessboard. Ethereum remains the leading smart contract platform, and with an ETF and proof-of-stake governance structure, it's an ideal vehicle for institutional control. It’s no coincidence BlackRock wants a tokenized exchange likely built on Ethereum. They want programmable finance—with them holding the remote.

On the stablecoin front, the Trump-linked “World Liberty Financial” stablecoin drew criticism for looking suspiciously like a pump-and-dump scheme tied to Trump meme coins. But don’t be fooled by the congressional theater—stablecoins are coming. KYC drama, meme coin scandals, and Elizabeth Warren’s saber-rattling are all just scripted friction.

Why? Because the banking lobby and the technocrats—from Howard Lutnick to Elon Musk—have too much to gain. This isn’t just about financial inclusion or transparency. This is about rolling over $10 trillion in government debt. Stablecoins will do what the Treasury can't—offer yield, tokenize it, and reroute it into Bitcoin, transferring power from the Fed to the Silicon Valley-MAGA axis.

And here’s the kicker: three U.S. states—New Hampshire, Arizona, and Texas—have now passed Bitcoin Strategic Reserve bills. Not the federal government. The states. These moves signal a potential future where decentralised state banking backed by Bitcoin reserves replaces the collapsing confidence in the Federal Reserve.

The institutions are all-in. The game is on. And Bitcoiners who self-custody and hold through the noise are the resistance.

Forget the headlines screaming about a looming trade war. That battle was fought—and lost—decades ago.

The real fight? BlackRock vs. China. And that isn’t a fight of equals.

I cut through the CIA-sponsored smokescreen to reveal the proof-of-weapons network: a global financial war machine that launders money through a nexus of banks, intelligence agencies, and war contractors—all under the management of the likes of BlackRock.

Let’s follow the money.

The Trump administration’s tariff strategy is being hailed as patriotic economic policy, but in reality it’s just BlackRock’s blueprint for shrinking America into a regional power. These tariffs will gut Main Street, empower BlackRock’s portfolio companies, and transfer ownership of distressed assets to the top. It’s consolidation disguised as nationalism.

Meanwhile, countries with real sovereignty and actual reserves—like China, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE—are negotiating directly with this stateless power structure. Forget about governments. Presidents are just salespeople now. And Trump? He’s selling BlackRock’s playbook while the MAGA crowd cheers him on.

BlackRock is using data, artificial intelligence, ETFs, and deep access to Treasury and central bank infrastructure to re-architect the global economy. And while that unfolds, the middle class is being stripped for parts. Europe is already in a manufactured recession. Britain is broke. Germany’s industrial base is being sacrificed for a fake green transition. And now America’s next in line.

We are not watching an economic policy debate. We’re witnessing the execution of the Multipolar World Order, brokered by BlackRock—where the East builds, the West sells, and the people get played.

Let’s talk about the real battlefield: the global south.

While the IMF and NATO shrink back, a multiple world order (MWI) is rising—one where countries no longer need to pledge allegiance to the dollar. The BRICS-GCC-ASEAN axis is real, and it’s growing. This is de-dollarisation through infrastructure, not just war.

But of course, BlackRock and its proof-of-weapons network aren’t letting go quietly.

Simon exposes the CIA-sponsored narratives currently flooding the airwaves—claiming China is collapsing, threatening Taiwan, and starting wars. All propaganda. China has already won the trade war. The rest is just noise.

Let’s be clear: Xi Jinping doesn’t need Taiwan. He already owns America’s debt.

Meanwhile, Trump is being paraded as a savior of Western dominance—but he’s doing deals for BlackRock, not for Main Street. Trump Towers are going up in Qatar, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia. AI chip export bans are being lifted. And $2 billion is flowing into Trump-aligned crypto ventures. This isn’t diplomacy. It’s strategic asset transfer under the illusion of populist power.

And in the background, India is being primed for conflict, turned into a weapons buyer and soft colony for the BlackRock war economy—just like Europe before it.

This is the final phase of empire collapse: asset strip the homeland, invest in the new centers of power, and manufacture patriotic narratives to keep the people distracted while it all happens.

 

Final Thoughts

Bitcoin is no longer fringe. It’s no longer optional. It’s the only exit from a system hell-bent on weaponizing debt, surveillance, and war to maintain power.

But let’s be brutally honest: if your Bitcoin is on an ETF, a crypto loan, or behind a margin account—it’s not yours. Remember, "if you borrow against your Bitcoin, you don’t own Bitcoin." What you own is an IOU—one that can be margin-called, rehypothecated, or seized.

Now is not the time to trust institutions. Now is the time to self-custody, opt out, and accumulate economic power the way the elites hate most: on-chain, sovereign, and unbreakable.

The multipolar world is here. The American empire is being dismantled. And BlackRock has replaced the Fed as the CEO of a stateless, weaponized financial network. Don’t be the last one holding fiat assets.
