Why the Dollar’s World Reserve Status Is Being Sacrificed | Simon Dixon on WTFinance

Host: Anthony Fatseas (WTFinance Podcast)

Guest: Simon Dixon (Investor, Financial & Geopolitical Analyst, Author, Entrepreneur, and Bitcoin OG)

A Note From Simon Dixon

"Immediately following the live show, we are broadcasting my recent 44-minute interview with Anthony Fatseas on WTFinance, recorded on 13 August 2026. This discussion took place just one week before this week's global bond market blowout, demonstrating our long-term thesis playing out in real time.

In this segment, we go deep into how the decline of the US world reserve system historically mirrors the structural collapses of the Dutch and British empires. I believe the Strait of Hormuz will be to the American Empire what the Suez Canal was to the British Empire—a defining point of geopolitical reset. We will also expose the reality of the digital control grid, explore the 'real war' of centralization versus decentralization, and discuss the launch of my new book, The Game of Money."

Episode Description

In this second highly-anticipated interview on the WTFinance podcast, host Anthony Fatseas sits down with Simon Dixon—Investor, Financial & Geopolitical Analyst, Author, Entrepreneur, and Bitcoin OG—for an in-depth conversation on the accelerating cracks in the global financial system. Following wild yield breakouts in the bond market, Simon explains how central banks are choosing to "run the economy hot" and strategically sacrifice the US dollar's status as the global reserve currency to inflate assets and roll over unsustainable sovereign debt.

From shifting power dynamics in the Middle East and China's role as the central broker in West Asia, to the rise of programmable money, CBDCs, and an AI-driven "control grid," this episode maps out the sobering realities of the multipolar reset. Most importantly, Simon shares his personal playbook for maintaining individual sovereignty, building local resilience, and escaping centralization through physical gold, self-custodied Bitcoin, and localized food and community networks.

Why bond yields are structurally exceeding previous stress-test levels, and the frantic interventions designed to prevent foreign central banks from selling US treasuries [2].
