The Bitcoin Matrix

After watching Lebanese banks steal his life savings overnight, Tony Yazbeck went from cybersecurity veteran to full-on Bitcoin sovereignty advocate. Now as co-founder of The Bitcoin Way, he’s on a mission to make sure what happened to him doesn’t happen to you. \
\
This conversation gets real, we’re talking bank collapses, self-custody, opting out of the system entirely, and why proper Bitcoin education might be the most important thing you do in 2026. \

In this episode, I’m sitting down with Tom Luongo for the sixth time, and he makes a bold case: the chaos you’re watching in Western politics, the wars, the censorship, the financial pressure, it doesn’t trace back to China, it doesn’t trace back to Russia. It traces back to Europe. And specifically to a colonial power structure that never really let go.

We’re diving into why Trump’s second term is less about one man and more about a historic battle over who actually controls American monetary and foreign policy. This one goes deep into geopolitics, monetary history, capital markets, and what it really means to opt out of a system that was never designed to work in your favour.

In this episode, I’m sitting down with Joe Burnett for the fourth time to discuss his piece “The Singularity Has Begun” and this might just be our most important conversation yet.

Joe makes a bold case: as intelligence becomes abundant and essentially free, wealth itself starts to melt. When AI models write their own code and you can spin up a trillion Albert Einsteins on demand, what happens to your savings? Your assets? Everything you’ve worked for?

This goes deep into scarcity, abundance, money, and what it means to preserve wealth in a world being fundamentally reshaped by intelligence itself.

In this episode, I'm chatting with Andy Schoonover, the founder and CEO of CrowdHealth, a revolutionary community-powered alternative to health insurance that’s helping thousands of people fund their healthcare through crowdfunding, not corporate middlemen.

But here’s where it gets really interesting: Andy’s not just disrupting healthcare, he’s building Bitcoin circularity into the system, working with major hospital networks to accept Bitcoin payments and create a parallel economy where your healthcare dollars never touch the broken fiat system.

In this conversation, we dive deep into medical freedom, why the insurance industry is fundamentally broken, how CrowdHealth is achieving zero bankruptcies among their members, and Andy’s bold vision for a Bitcoin-powered healthcare future.

In this episode, I sit down with Dave Collum. We dive deep into why the financial legends who warned us about insane market bubbles back in 2015 might not have been wrong – they might have just been early. We’re talking about an economy at 35,000 feet with its engines on fire, and the solution has been to climb to 45,000 feet. That doesn’t fix the problem.

This is raw, unfiltered truth about corruption, fake jobs, market insanity, and why keeping your head on a swivel has never been more important.
