🔑 Learn how to take 100% self-custody of your Bitcoin: https://www.thebitcoinway.com/services/bitcoin-self-custody-training?utm_source=tbw&utm_medium=fountain&utm_campaign=bitcoin-banter&utm_content=desc

—------------------------

Governments are showing their hand — and it's aimed directly at your wealth. The Netherlands is proposing 36% unrealized capital gains taxes on Bitcoin held in self-custody. Illinois just passed the most aggressive Bitcoin transaction tax in the US. Germany is ordering 18-year-olds into military service. The UK wants to seize empty homes. Spain has enacted forced rent controls.

The pattern is clear: failing fiat systems are desperate, and they're coming for what you own.

Michael, Tony, and guest Adam Simecka break down every headline and explain why self-custody Bitcoin is the only asset they truly cannot touch. Plus: our Donkey of the Week.
