EP63 The Bitcoin-Backed Shadow Financial System A Strategic Briefing with Matthew Pines6 Aug 20251 h 09 min

America’s global power has always been built on controlling networks, money, trade, and communication. But today, those networks are under attack.

Add AI-driven narrative warfare, and we’re entering a battle between centralized control, the Tower and decentralized freedom, the Square.

Today, Matthew Pines and I unpack how America’s monetary tech stack is being rebuilt; before it’s too late.
