In this episode, we look at a week where Bitcoin increasingly behaved like an escape valve from a strained monetary system. We cover the strong jobs report and renewed Fed pressure, rising Bitcoin-gold correlation, institutional adoption, corporate treasury accumulation, the CLARITY Act, El Salvador, the Trezor privacy breach, and the growing role of Bitcoin in places where traditional banking simply doesn’t work. Plus, we check in on the Bitcoin podcast universe, feature this week’s Bitcoin Fortress Substack, and talk about the new book, The Sovereign Life.
