Episode Details

47 days into the Iran war, the ceasefire is holding — barely. The US just set up a blockade at the Strait of Hormuz, not to stop Iran, but to collect rent. And Iran is already settling oil trades in Bitcoin.

In this Bitcoin Well Spaces session, The Peruvian Bull (Roberto) and Q break down the geopolitics, the military math, and the monetary history behind what's unfolding. Why a US ground invasion would need up to a million troops. How Triffin's Dilemma has ended every reserve currency empire for 500 years. Why Bitcoin is the first monetary technology that actually solves it.

We went dark. But we came back with hope. Because Bitcoin doesn't require permission — and that's the point.
