The UK has unveiled its plan to become a full surveillance state. Is this part of a grander plan orchestrated by BlackRock and Gulf nations? In Episode 92 of Bitcoin HardTalk, Simon Dixon decodes the real story, revealing how the Proof-of-Weapons network is buying UK and EU cooperation to de-colonize the Middle East.

This episode follows the money to connect the dots between new trade deals, a rebounding US dollar, and the push to formally recognize Palestine as a state.

This Week in Bitcoin, Crypto & CBDCs

With the UK unveiling its full plan to become a surveillance state this week, the urgency to build your Bitcoin wealth in self-custody has never been greater—especially as AI and stablecoins begin to integrate into the financial system.

We’ll break down the latest developments, including:

• The impact of tariffs on Bitcoin mining
  


• Updates from PayPal, Interactive Brokers, eToro, Stripe’s crypto-stablecoin integration, and AI-powered payment surveys
  


• Billionaire Ray Dalio’s recommendation for a Bitcoin allocation
  


• The latest Bitcoin mining economics driven by treasury companies holding BTC
  


• And everything else that moved the Bitcoin markets this week.

This Week in Macro

We’ll explore new trade deals between the US and India, China, the EU, and Canada—and how they’re reshaping BRICS trade flows. We’ll also unpack the economics behind the UK & EU’s shift toward full-scale surveillance states.

On the US front, we’ll discuss:

• The proposed $1 trillion stimulus following stronger-than-expected growth
  


• Stock markets dominated by tech mega-caps
  


• A rebounding US dollar that could trigger a $600 tariff rebate for Americans
  


• And why the Federal Reserve’s independence is increasingly under scrutiny.

This Week in Geopolitics

As the Gaza starvation campaign becomes increasingly exposed, the UK, EU, and Canada are pushing toward a September deadline to formally recognize Palestine as a state to place public pressure on Israel to end the genocide.

I’ll follow the money trail to reveal:

• How the Proof-of-Weapons network and Gulf states are buying UK & EU cooperation to de-colonize the Middle East.
  


• The role of BlackRock and Palantir in shaping economic and political outcomes, often at the expense of state sovereignty
  


• And fresh updates on the Epstein blackmail operation
