TRUMP IS WORKING FOR CHINA | SIMON DIXON

Añadido: 2026-05-21

[00:00:00]Okay, I just want to welcome Simon Dixon onto the show. He is a financial expert.

[00:00:06]In addition to that, he is a Bitcoin OG, but this guy knows his stuff. Whether it's finances, whether it's the market, whether it's what's going on from a geopolitical perspective. So, Simon, thank you for joining us. How are you, >> Austin? Very good. What are we going to discuss today?

[00:00:21]>> Well, what we're going to discuss is China. China. China. China. So, Trump is gone to China. He took an array of people. He took the head of Nvidia, the Nvidia stock prices basically went excessively high. We he was Elon Musk there, big tech, Silicon Valley, all the big wigs. I believe they said these these people's net worth is trillions of dollars. Tell us what's going on.

[00:00:51]>> Yeah. So, I think it's important to set the framework then we can get into um China. But um if you look at the US market, it is on like an unbelievable run. Um so the bond market is showing distress, but the stock market, we got the Dow Jones breaking 50,000. We got the S&P 500 baking uh breaking 4,500.

[00:01:16]But that's not the complete story. The complete story is that anything to do with AI and building data centers is the entire US economy right now. And so while we got stimulus checks for military companies from the trillion to a trillion and a half, um we've got the blowing up of lots of equipment and then the replenishing the supply that can provide some stimulus um to the stock market. Um the financiers um are really around um the stress in all markets except for anything to do with AI. And so we got these ginormous IPOs that are coming through like Open AI trillion dollar valuation. Um SpaceX potentially $2 trillion valuation. um there's lots of trading of these private stocks ahead of the the the expected IPOs and it's dominating the S&P. So, one of the misleading things about the S&P as an index is that um you could go up, you know, you could look at the entire index, but all companies could be doing badly, but something could drag it up. And that's the whole point here. Um the tech companies are absolutely going through the roof. Um and uh the real sense of growth in other sectors is the higher oil prices that are being driven into these artificial intelligence data centers. So if you think about it, you're manufacturing data centers now that are twice as large as Manhattan um that like people are talking about um that is consuming all of this high price electricity and there is a narrative of a bubble which it leads us up to what's happening with China right now that we're in an AI arms race which is an existential threat. They compare it to the nuclear arms race, you know, during the World War II era. Um, and um and and therefore invest whatever, do whatever uh just get the money together um to invest in these uh this build of these data centers and that's where all the job growth is coming from. Um everything else it's not doing so great unless it it complements it. Um, one of the one of the areas that is stressful, while the stocks are going to all-time high, you've got the GDP growth from all these subsidized markets and this new a AI um build, but you're getting more and more people complaining that they're not able to access water or because they're competing with these data centers for the water or the affordability of the electricity is pricing uh people out. And so you're starting to see like a lot more distress and debate around um this whole strategy as you would expect um with such a with such a big manufacturing build. But at the same time um the demand for US treasuries which is the bond market the demand to lend to the US government um by foreign nation states and central banks is going down because people are selling treasuries for gold unless you can force someone into a relationship through trade deals. And so that's why you've got things with Europe and India um and uh particularly China because China reduced its treasury position over a longer ter time frame from 1.4 trillion to about 650 billion. Now what happens when you sell treasuries but there is other demand for it um you know so private investors are investing in treasuries but the nation states are doing that to a lesser degree and they're choosing gold. Um but when you start selling those the debt um it it pushes the the yield up or the amount that the US government has to pay in order to persuade someone to lend it money. And what we got right up to this is for the first time since 2007 right before the global financial crisis uh we had a bond auction of 30-year um US treasuries. Uh and that required an interest rate above 5%. We've been talking about how 5% is a very significant number. Um that's also causing and it's seizing up the property and real estate market because no transactions are getting done other than at the very very high-end um level because people can't refinance their mortgages. And as this 30-year Treasury bond yield goes up, so do the rates on the mortgages. So mortgage rates are about 7%. Um and so that that means that the the real estate market is is the first sign of stress um that we're seeing as a result of it. The only way to call that down is to print a lot of money and get the buyer of last resort, the Federal Reserve to purchase those treasuries so that you can get the yield down a bit through putting increasing the Fed balance sheet. And so that's really the next game. And so what we seem to be leading up to, particularly going into this China side and the Iran war, is really really high energy um prices. Uh that's driving a lot of the stock market growth, but it's creating stress on the bond market, which then creates stress on the real estate market. But in the in the front end, if you're leading into an election, you get to say growth and GDP are at all-time highs um or they're they're very, you know, um manageable levels. They're good levels. There's a good growth economy and there's a great stock market, which is the two things that Trump wants and needs. And so you got to sacrifice world reserve currency, weaken the dollar in order to really print print lots more money. Um and uh that that's happening and you can see that's going to be happening in the bond market. Um so when you combine all those markets together, that sets up the framework. What does the Trump administration need? It needs um it needs a narrative to justify why the Federal Reserve should bail out the system um which is the AI narrative. Um it also needs um something that creates the additional GDP uh because there's a lot of stress at these prices. Um inflation CPI came in at 3.8%.

[00:08:04]And that's just the beginning. you know, that you could say is the delayed effect from some of the tariff policy potentially. Um, but it won't be until we get to the next couple of quarters that we'll see the real impact of the supply chain issues um and all of the costs of everything going up as a result of the closure of the straight of moose.

[00:08:26]And so, you know, there's going to be inflation. You know, there's going to be issues in the mortgage markets. you know that the bond yield is getting unsustainable and you know you got to roll over the debt and you got to the only one that's the buyer of last resort is effectively the Fed. Um so then what does Trump do going into this China meeting? Well, he gets together the executives of what I always talk about the financial industrial complex, military-industrial complex, technical industrial complex. What's really interesting is you have Boeing there, but not so many of the military companies. I've always said Trump works for technology and financial more than um military, and you have to give military some compensation for the fact that he's favoring technical and financial. Um but it was all the the executives um of who's who in American um you know, corporate um executives that all joined him. Um why? Because a lot of these companies, let's say Tim Cook from Apple, um they're investing in new uh you know um uh new factories or um within America as part of their settlement um with the tariffs uh to appease the the to appease the goal. However, Apple's like the perfect example of the China America relationship. They manufacture all of their phones in China. Um, and China, their rules has always been, we don't mind you as an American company setting up your factory here and benefiting from our labor, our um our cheaper, you know, um, production costs, um, all of our innovation in supply chains and manufacturing. Um, however, you have to do everything with Chinese companies.

[00:10:21]Um, and so, you know, and we have to be able to take that knowhow and implement it into our own companies, whether it be Huawei, um, or somewhere else. And so, that's kind of the rules of doing business in China. So, what I think is interesting is to go through what the the different things that the White House um, tweeted out. I I'll take a pause there in case you've got some questions.

[00:10:45]>> Yeah. And that's actually what I want to get down to is what did they tweet out?

[00:10:49]Now, one of the things they mentioned uh was that there was going to be Chinese investment into the United States of America and US investment into China.

[00:10:58]Now, I know in the past you've said that and your position is that if you invest in a country, you're essentially buying assets in a country and you're kind of having some form of leverage, but this uh statement seems to suggest that the US is going to invest in China and China is going to invest in US. This was the White House statement. What's your thoughts on that?

[00:11:17]Yeah, there's really interesting.

[00:11:19]There's a lot to read into this and a bit of speculation that I'll make. Um, so as you said, uh, people confuse what foreign direct investment is. Uh, Trump, he he kind of says stocks are at high, GDP is great, we got the hottest economy in the world, and we got $18 trillion of inbound investment. Now, Apple was one of the domestic um investors, but a chunk of what he says is the $18 trillion is, you know, kind of half agreement or, you know, kind of semi-aggreements um and a memorandum of understanding as opposed to actual full-blown commitments. But the way that foreign direct investment works is that whoever invests in either the equity or debt and you know we got the unwinding of the petro dollar as part of what we're seeing here. Um but whoever ends up buying the equities um gets a significant voting right and so you can use legal constructs in order to protect yourself. But as America is an open market and China is a closed market uh China's very protective over what investments they let in. They want to control the terms. They want to make sure that the Chinese Communist Party um is always never has a corporate takeover or a more powerful construct that can covertly come in. Um and that was really from its century of humiliation. It became a very protective um you know story. Uh but what the way foreign direct investment is in an open market is think of it like a syringe a syringe like you agree that you're going to have some medicine injected and you think it's for your good but then as you put it in you suck out the blood uh because you're taking the dividends and the returns to the foreign investor and then you can use your voting rights in order to get more control over policies. And so if you're investing in a company like Nvidia and Nvidia chips are geopolitically and strategically important and you have you give voting rights to the Chinese sovereign wealth fund. Uh then they can block and have a say over where those chips actually go to. Um, and in order to actually violate that, you'd have to do what America has always complained other countries doing, which is you'd have to take away someone's um shareholding and nationalize it if you want to protect yourself. Um, which has always been like that would be the end of American capital markets if they were ever to do that. Now, the problem with America is $69 trillion of assets are foreign controlled. And so there is always through this mechanism covert influence voting right and remember we were talking about the bond market the bond holders control the policy. Um you can circumvent federal reserve policy um through the buying and selling of treasuries. Um and so this is the friction of what happens with these open markets. Um, and so when you're saying China's going to be investing X amount, um, depending on how it's done, that is a recognition of handing over of some of the power and joining America and China, um, and giving China some more power.

[00:14:42]Um, and they're using their massive trade surplus, their massive, um, assets that they have. Um, but it also does a few other things. It brings in the question of how do you pay? What are we doing with our currency? And so what you have noticed during the Iran war is that relative to the Chinese yuan, the yuan has been strengthening and the dollar has been weakening. But the dollar has been strengthening relative to other currencies except the currencies that are connected to vast commodity trades and energy trades. So what's really happened is that um there has been a currency war in the background. Um and a lot of the the maneuvering that we've been seeing throughout these is resetting. And so when China's currency has been strengthening and America's the dollar has been weakening relative to the two that resets some of the trade balance relationships.

[00:15:44]And now if you then agree that China is saying we're going to be buying some oil uh from you, that achieves a few geopolitical strategic goals, but it also gives China who has $1.4 billion barrels of oil in reserve, provides all of the fund or the mo the vast majority of funding to the GCC by purchasing their energy and also to Iran. And now if they start purchasing oil um then they start to influence both the petro dollar and the pro- yuan and can manage that transition and have more influence over it as well as depending on the outcome of what happens with the UAE Saudi and Iran. They will also have influence in that managed transition of the pro- yuan and the petro dollar. And also one more thing, remember AI works of liqufied natural gas. Um and so LNG is becoming one of the most strategic um things as we're transitioning away from just burning oil and putting it, you know, and using fossil fuels uh over to electricity being way way more significant. Hence why we got electric cars. Hence why we got an energy crisis.

[00:17:04]Hence why we're we're pushing all of this LNG into these data centers because it is eating the markets alive and transitioning us to a full-blown AI and robotics economy. And that also requires many of the rare earth minerals that China has a monopoly on right now. So, it's a ve it's very interesting just in that initial one investing whether they're going to be buying oil and then we got to get into the geopolitical consequences as well.

[00:17:34]>> But they also said in that same statement just based on what you said that the US is going to be investing in China as well. So then is that not the case when it comes to the US where the US has taken control over China and having a certain amount of leverage?

[00:17:50]uh yes that will tie the two together economically but also remember China is a closed market controlled by the Chinese Communist Party. And so while in America the corporations are larger than the government and have more influence over the government through lobbying in China the corporation is subordinate to the government. And so if you invest in a Chinese company it's always on China's terms and those terms are always subordinate to the CCP. So you can't have this covert hostile takeover mechanism that China can do in America but America can't do in China.

[00:18:27]Interesting. So basically, you're saying because if an American company was to invest in China, uh they wouldn't have control because the Chinese government is the overseer of what's happening essentially.

[00:18:41]>> And you have to play Chinese rules and Chinese rules are Apple, you can set up your factory here, >> um but you have to play within the confines of our regulations and um you know, we don't really have copyright. we really don't have intellectual property protection and so we can we can you you have you get to make iPhones we get to benefit from it but at the same time we also turn Huawei into a leader and now many would say um they've built the capacity the education the work ethic uh where they're leading in many of these fields as well um also less corruption you can corrupt the government side which obviously massive corruption there, but you can't have a company superseding the national interest like you can in America. So, America, they call them globalists, you know, global companies, uh, simply because, um, you know, they're able to not work in America's national interest.

[00:19:44]Uh, they can export capital globally.

[00:19:46]They can offset tariffs with China. Um, and they can just have a global strategy rather than an America first strategy.

[00:19:53]and there's not much the government can do about it.

[00:19:56]>> So just to understand this properly, you're saying that when China invests, when a Chinese companies invest in the United States of America, that's really the Chinese government investing because the Chinese government controls the corporations within China. Whereas when American corporations invest in China, it has no kind of link to the government. They're just profit making themselves. And what essentially happens is China's just get they're following the rules which is within China. So they don't have the same type of leverages basically. Is that is that what you're saying?

[00:20:26]>> Yeah. So this is the corporate power in America >> rebasing in China >> subordinate to the CCP while China gets voting rights in American companies.

[00:20:40]>> So it's essentially the opposite of what Trump claimed, right? Because Trump claimed that he was going to bring manufacturing back to the United States of America. He claimed he was going to bring industry back to the America. And yet this entire flight full of oligarchs and billionaires is to do the opposite.

[00:20:56]Right.

[00:20:57]>> It it certainly is with the exception of one thing. He will fulfill his promise when it comes to AI data centers. That's it.

[00:21:05]>> And the whole rebuild the manufacturing base was how do we get data centers in America which is vital. How do we become chip independent?

[00:21:15]Um, and how do we get Americans and H-1Bs uh to build what replaces everyone's job in the future, which is AI and robotics.

[00:21:27]Uh, so you get the AI and robotics in America um because that's needed. But also the military side, we're moving into the new technological warfare. It's cyber security. It's integration with drones. It's not um humans fighting, you know, with big battleships anymore. Um and so what we're really doing here, if we if we bring it down, we're flipping the entire world up with AI and robotics with the CCP >> and [clears throat] uh Nvidia um and energy companies and technology companies like Google and Apple. those are our rulers and they're all meeting in Shanghai uh to put together deals that tie that together. It's closer and closer and closer to one global government with um different parties um really unifying around artificial intelligence and robotics.

[00:22:28]>> So you don't even believe that this AI race is real? You think that this between China and the United States of America? I know internally it's a bit different story but between China and the United States of America you don't think this AI race is real where they want to basically have a race with China you think this is just a mode to manipulate the western audience to say guess what we need to beat China in this race therefore you need to sacrifice X Y and Z in order for us to win this race there needs to be no guard rails no safeguarding there needs to be we need to use excessive amount of energy you're going to have to use less energy like are you saying I mean that could still be the reason and yet they still have the race or you saying the entire race is just a facade as well?

[00:23:11]>> No, the race is on. Um there's a few things. What does America need? America has to remember what I said when Trump came came in. I was also saying he's here to asset strip America and push everyone to China.

[00:23:23]>> Mhm.

[00:23:24]>> And tariff policy was a way of doing it.

[00:23:26]Department of government efficiency was a data collection exercise.

[00:23:30]um Epstein files was to devalue the dollar and ruin the reputation, make disharmony, manufacture civil unrest. Um and then the final thing is the closure of the straight of moose energy crisis that resets the order and then you go to Shanghai. Um and >> no, I don't there is genuinely a race, but what has what is the only strategy America can do at the end of its debt cycle? It has to justify a big ginormous money printing exercise like CO and it needs to be bigger than CO and that's what the that's what the narrative is and the way you can tell that is um China has been it's got a big fund uh which invests just in hardware and infrastructure for it AI and robotics industry but the very first time it opened up to software and the first software investment it made this week was in Deep Seek and that was at a $45 billion valuation. Now, Deep Seek can do 90% of what the best AI um in America can do. So, it's not as good, but it's good enough. It's open source. Um and uh but it's a fraction of the pot of the cost. M >> so if you're printing $10 trillion let's say in order to bail out the economy transfer all the wealth into the stock market devalue the currency end world reserve currency shrink America into a regional power do all this foreign direct investment um then the final the the the final thing you would need to do is justify that big print and then there are two I've talked about in the China America relationship There are two structural rug balls I call them. One of them is that um if you like open AI is a trillion dollar valuation, Deep Seek is a 45 billion valuation.

[00:25:29]>> Uh and that's open source. So the moment you want to switch the narrative, you could crash the stock market, get the money printing, invest it all in the data centers under the new infrastructure of the lower cost base, but you get all of your GDP growth. You get to manipulate the stock market, make everything look good in the meantime at these really, really inflated valuations. It's kind of like the stock market boom and bust. like it was genuinely life-changing technology that changed everything. Um, but you had that overvaluation venture capital bubble correction and then all the companies like you had a massive a load of companies that went bust concentration and then a few companies that became the Googles, the Apples, the Amazons and that's one of the structural rugps that's built into this that China could use if it wanted to. Um the other one >> can I just can ask you a question on that one then please tell me about the other one.

[00:26:28]>> So but just to understand this because obviously the stock market now is at its all-time high.

[00:26:34]>> Um you're saying China has the ability to crash the US stock market and then essentially are you talking about China or the big tech be able to buy into it?

[00:26:44]What I'm trying to ask this question is I am a big believer that the stock market is going to crash at some point.

[00:26:49]I'm not sure I'm if you agree or whatever, but the point is I do believe it's going to crash and if it crashes, that will be an time where essentially what is the stock market crash? It's these smaller companies get eaten up by the larger companies. It's like a corporation control. It's a monopolization and then you rebuild and you do like it's like a boomerang and then you rebuild and then it becomes even higher. So, I'm actually a big believer that this is about to happen. I know you may disagree. I don't know if you agree or not but but that would be in my view like who would cause that that I don't know like you would know better. Is that big tech? Is that China or even do you think that's not even possible?

[00:27:25]>> It's um at at the moment what will what will happen if the stock market ever goes to any type of crash then immediately um the Fed will purchase the bond purchase bonds and do a bailout. So they will socialize the losses and privatize the gains if there's anything significant. The reason is is because America is so overleveraged um at these debt rates that if there was a stock market crash and it led to a um a recession >> and tax revenue started to go down >> um it would blow out the whole um the whole um deficit the the structural deficit um and it would it would it would it would be the end of the US empire um if if that ever were to happen. And so they will always bail it out.

[00:28:15]>> Um now why would they what would stop them being able to bail them out is the bond market. Um and so once the banks stop using US treasuries as collateral um which is the backbone of the entire western financial system um then that's game overtime. Uh China doesn't want that to happen. So, China protects the bonds and manages a very slow transition in the bond market.

[00:28:44]>> Um, and so while it's investing in the Bel and Road Initiative and slowly dominating certain regions like Africa, um, and then we had the issues with Central and South America that led to Venezuela and everything. Um, that they're slowly managing their belt and road initiative build um, dominating certain resources but not crashing the Treasury market. if they wanted to, which they don't want to, they could um and that is suddenly sell their bonds, crash the the tre the treasury market, but the banks and the Federal Reserve would come in and bail out the system.

[00:29:20]But if if if if people stopped having faith in US treasuries, then that breaks the banking system and the whole game is over. Now, the financial complex knows that. So, they're investing in multipolarity. They're setting up financial hubs, military hubs, technical hubs all around the world. And they're utilizing this final phase to pump stocks and then use America's geopolitical strategic importance to strip as many assets, you know, whether it be India and bricks, whether it be UAE in the GCC, uh whether it be um you know, certain Venezuela in Central and South America. Trump is just delivering for the globalists, whatever you want to call them. Um, and the military is being used to asset strip asset strip and concentrate wealth up and up and up. And that's why these they're becoming bigger and bigger and bigger. And so if China wanted to crash the stock market, it could. And if the if they're partnered with finance houses that want to manage capital outflows, they'd rather get a multipolar world set up first and they'd rather get as many nodes around the world so that they can manage those capital outflows.

[00:30:36]>> But if at the end of time, yeah, >> but if the aim is to strip the United States of America, I think that's been one of your theories for a while, right?

[00:30:44]Uh, if the aim is to strip the United States of America, based on the way you've explained it in this interview, if you were to hypothetically, I'm talking about big tech. I'm not talking about China, although I know they may be working together, right? But big tech, if they were to crash the stock market artificially or intention, I don't know how you do it, but basically crash the stock market and then have the US government bail it out, right? As per what they've always done. That's an would that not be what the aim of the game because you again cause more debt you strip United States of America more you remove assets from the US government and give it back to the corporations like if you know this is going to be essentially the end of the US empire the aim is to just steal as much as possible would that not be a move they would make >> yes however >> you want to use America while it's still powerful and so if you for example have Nvidia in America um and you can negotiate iate with China >> by saying you get access to our chips and China needs those chips or wants those chips which is why Taiwan becomes so important. Um then you will use the empire while you can to get as much as you can while building alternative centers. Um and so you'll get those data centers all around places that you can dominate. So you want as many other countries weak uh while the American military um can still make countries weak. Um and then you use that in order to invest and rebuild. Um and you use all of America's assets uh to g to gain as much leverage as you can before you do anything like that. So it's like a 20-year strategy really. Um much like the British Empire, you they asset stripped it. We had decades of really weak growth. Um, and all of our assets ended up in America. Um, and the financial powers still remained in both America and the Brits and the and the Dutch side.

[00:32:42]>> Okay.

[00:32:43]>> So, that's how I would manage it if I were trying to guess what they're doing.

[00:32:46]>> Okay. What was the second point you made? Because I've got a few more questions for you actually.

[00:32:50]>> There was a second element.

[00:32:52]>> Um, >> I talked about the bond market. So, that's another one. Um, but that connects to the stock market. M >> um the other one is um the west, let's say New York and London, uh they have derivative contracts that relate to commodities that vastly supersede the amount of commodities they actually have. And so there is quadrillions of paper gold and paper silver um and paper contracts um that doesn't actually have the gold and silver. And so there is a a race with central banks to acquire it >> uh and get the actual silver in your country. And so more and more gold has been leaving London um which is still important and making its way over to UAE, Hong Kong, Singapore and China um and also Russia and any other countries.

[00:33:45]And you're seeing like for example in Turkey there was a recent another attempt to um have a currency war with Turkey and they had to sell their gold in order to protect it. Um that then goes round into the UAE ports and then back into um Shanghai. Um now Shanghai um is actually does not have derivative contracts that supersede the amount of commodities. Um, so the only thing that can once you expose that and it got exposed during COVID where people said if you create an event where people actually want their physical gold and physical silver and we've seen a few of those. We saw that leading up to Christmas in the silver market. I mean, if you create an event where people want it, then the central banks, the Federal Reserve and um and uh the Bank of England or the European Central Bank or the Swiss Central Bank, they can lend some of their gold, but they know that it doesn't exist. And so if you lose faith in the derivative system and the ETF, and that's why they created ETFs, because they don't want anyone owning gold. They want a Black Rockck IOU version of gold. knowing that structurally the derivatives market doesn't have enough contracts and China does and so China's picking up all of the gold without the derivative contracts and so if you wanted to rugpool the west um you create any type of event um that leads to people wanting their commodities in physical form um and then eventually if the central banks say hey I'm not lending it I'm keeping it >> then you've got another structural rubble that's built into the system.

[00:35:28]>> And another question I've got for you is um because you're on the on this kind of strand, I know it's not a bit irrelevant, but I agree with you in terms of this ETF. It's a mass scam.

[00:35:38]Essentially, you don't own own own anything, right? And so people are investing in a number of these ETFs thinking that they've got access to Bitcoin or various other commodities and they don't really have access to them. I know it's not that relevant to this conversation, but I think it's really important. I know you're a big advocate for um basically having uh Bitcoin but in a decentralized manner, having it in a um a wallet that isn't part of the ecosystem. What's self- custody? Sorry.

[00:36:06]What's um how does that work? How does the self-custody aspect work?

[00:36:11]>> Yeah, I mean, you know, um very briefly, bit Bitcoin is just a a you know, it's 24 words. Um and um you need to store those 24 words somewhere. Um and there's dedicated devices and hardware wallets where you can store those 24 words where it's not connected to the internet.

[00:36:31]>> And just by having those 24 words, you can go anywhere in the world and bring your Bitcoin with you. And so it's only by gaining access to those 24 words that someone can steal your Bitcoin or it can be confiscated. Um, but what Bitcoin allows you to do is bring it into your own possession, much like having a pile of cash under a mattress or a bunch of gold bars. But the difference here is that you just have a tiny specialist device. Um, or if you're if you're crazy enough, you can Yeah.

[00:36:59]>> So, it's a specialist physical device you have.

[00:37:02]>> Correct. Yeah. It's called a hardware wallet. There's many of them um out there, so you can look them up.

[00:37:07]>> Um, >> but if someone was to steal our wallet, as long as you had the 24 words, you could just access it somewhere else, right? or not.

[00:37:13]>> Well, they if they stole your wallet um and you would secure it, it's beyond the scope of what we're doing. There's many best practices to secure it.

[00:37:21]>> Yeah.

[00:37:21]>> Um but yeah, if you got to your 24 words and someone stole your wallet, it would be it would be a race to drain that and send those Bitcoin over to a wallet you control. Um so yeah, it's a it's all the responsibility that comes with, you know, imagine this device contains a billion dollars.

[00:37:42]Just so so if you've got the hardware wallet, let's say you've got the hardware wallet, I steal your wallet. I don't have the 24 words. I can drain it.

[00:37:53]>> Uh you could drain it if you can get the physical wallet.

[00:37:56]>> Yeah. Without the words.

[00:37:58]>> You you knew the passwords that protected it.

[00:38:01]>> Um and uh and you had the pin codes and the 2FA. So you'd put layers and layers of protection on top of it. But if you had all of that, then yeah, whoever um because once you've got the hardware wallet and you can get into it and unlock it, then you can get the 24 words.

[00:38:19]>> Okay, that's a bit that's a bit concerning cuz like if you're traveling like the security could just take it off you you >> No, no, not not really. Um well, firstly, you don't you don't need the wallet. The wallet is a bit of a um distraction. Um you just need the 24 words and you could use any wallet. You could take you could have five hardware devices, one here, one in a safety deposit box, uh, one in Singapore or wherever you are. Um, and as long as you've got that passphrase, you can take that wallet and you can access it on any of those devices. Um, it's a bit beyond the scope of of this, but maybe we'll do a whole thing on that.

[00:38:58]>> Yeah, that's that's a bit concerning actually. I've got too many questions.

[00:39:01]But anyway, let's bring it back to I was just thinking because you mentioned about how ETFs are risky. So coming back to the China um China US uh conversation, the trade talks, the summit um you've seen these American corporations, they've basically gone there and essentially Trump has taken them there and it's to enrich them. And so I thought people claim this was a war with China, but if this is a war with China, why is all these corporations and oligarchs benefiting?

[00:39:30]As I've always said, um Trump has significant private investment with the Gulf countries and significant financial incentives in aligning with China. Um and uh I' I've looked at every single policy he's done and I've said that's the MAGA front-facing narrative, but when you follow the money, here's how he's personally enriching himself and here's how it helps the movement towards multiparity.

[00:39:57]Um and so but from you know from the Biden days we I've been sharing how I thought um you know Trump would would help China [laughter] um and would help the you know that that it would help Bricks.

[00:40:09]>> Okay. And so Chip uh Trump's move right now is to it's essentially benefiting China because these corporations are going to invest uh and essentially be under the provisor of China, right? And then China is going to essentially whatever they're investing in the United States of America, it's the CCP taking control over American assets. Now coming back to it we've seen and we've if you look at the US there's like Silicon Valley there's big tech and big tech is essentially taken over the white house you look at palenta you look at uh JD Vance you look at all these people and I know JD Vance didn't go there but that's more because of like they have to keep one high level official in the United States of America in case like something goes wrong so but in terms of if you look at the way the US is going it is basically ally big tech palunteer who are direct in the way the world's going to go the future of the United States of America right uh Palunteer is becoming I think the global government that is trying to um get control over as many nodes as it can globally um so we're starting with it sphere of influence which is using um you know the Gaza a genocide to test technology, doing occupation as a service in West Bank, doing genocide as a service in Gaza, doing drone integration in Ukraine, uh doing um crowd control in Saudi Arabia at the annual Hajj pilgrimage. um doing uh open border, closed border ICE uh privatized prison deportation um sector integrated into El Salvador prisons um with um an education system based upon AI. Doge um seem to have pushed all the VA all the data um over there um European Union civil unrest campaign pre-rime arrest integration with NHS and farm data in UK um department of uh department of defense integration um in terms of military warfare um it is absolutely getting government contract after government contract after government contract. So um Palunteer is the company um that wants to be the privatized public partnership public private partnership one world government. Um but there's only one node that it can't control. It's the CCP. And so if you can't beat the CCP, you have to negotiate with the CCP. Um, which is why these big negotiations are happening here because you've got a walled garden around, you know, China that is built to make sure that it is resistance as possible and then you got the rest of the world that's the the victim of financial terrorism from um the the British American transatlantic um empire as it were. Um, and then you've got obviously the Israel nodes and integration. Um and so Israel is um you know got the cyber security and artificial intelligence there. That's their two growth areas. Um as well as like they got banking the defend cyber security artificial intelligence and tech. Um and whenever you want to test the illegal um then you do it via Israel. But what we're starting to see is that western companies like Apple are buying up a lot of those um those technologies and those companies. Um you're getting through Abraham Accords a lot of um investment foreign direct investment through Abraham Accords and then you're getting the covert Saudi Arabia Trump affinity partners Jared Kushner um purchases um and Israel is privatizing more and more. Um it's got two IPOs that are coming up to privatize state assets. Um its biggest um its biggest defense companies are already public. Um Black Rockck already has significant ownership structure in the Israeli ETF. The stock market is being pushed to new to new all-time highs. um while the state assets are being depleted. Um and so you're really seeing the transfer of Israel assets into private corporate interest and away from the nation state as a result of all of these um these different things.

[00:44:38]>> So you mentioned about the data centers and you said that the data centers is essentially what the United States of America is going to be focusing on. This is going to be the direction they're going towards.

[00:44:47]What um I mean how many data centers do they basically how many data centers do they want to erect in the United States of America? What level of energy is required? What level of infrastructure is required to get there? Because again we just look when you look at the United States of America and you look at the western world they're very they're not forward thinking or they're not as progressive when it comes to this building of these infrastructures.

[00:45:13]>> Yeah. Well the west cuz it's privatized.

[00:45:15]It's got the the the the privatized model. The companies think about their quarterly earnings and that's what determines their stock prices.

[00:45:24]>> The executives are incentivized through share options and those share options kick in if your share price goes up. Uh they have a ginormous financial industrial complex. like the biggest, you know, 70% of America is service- based. And by far the largest part of that is financial speculation, gambling, um, derivatives and all those things.

[00:45:46]That's the final area of the British Empire. You got insurance, derivatives, um, and some of these commodity and FX contracts. So, they can still do the FX manipulation in in City of London. Um, but New York, um, has ginormous financial speculation and so they control share prices. M >> um shortterm you can't control long-term but shortterm you can manipulate um and so through this um this is how finance controls and subordinates all of the companies and then the government is subordinate to all of those companies and they install all the board seats and and everything. Um and so what is really interesting and they control all the tech companies as well. Um and so you and the military companies um so they've got every sector and big farmer um and the energy. Um so you've got this portfolio of trillions and trillions of dollars. Um and what you're seeing is they're just eating up the markets with this entire AI and robotics infrastructure. Um that is because there is somewhat of a internal struggle at these higher echelons of power between what if money's not important in the future and what if we control everything through algorithm and uh we can put everyone on a universal basic income and we can concentrate assets into fewer and fewer hands and we can price everyone one out of the market where they have to sell all their assets and then we can buy all the assets in distress. Um and then maybe um artificial intelligence and robotics starts doing more and more and more um and those that control the data center control everything and then you can have a one global world government.

[00:47:38]Um I think that is a agenda um as part of this and that means that how do you work between the importance of data and algorithm versus the importance of financial transactions. At the moment finance rules, it controls military. It controls technology. But eventually technology could become more important.

[00:48:01]And so over the years ahead uh we have that internal struggle to deal with. So, not only do we have supply chain issues, not only do we have unemployment crisis, not only do we have energy crisis, um not only do we have wealth concentration and wealth transfer, not only do we have universal basic incomes for those that lost their we may have the disruption of money in the end through technology. Um, and that takes us to a world that's very, very hard to understand. Um, and I think the CCP want to control that world. And I think the finance companies, they're just working on their quarterly. And then when you have someone like Trump in charge, you know, that he just does a 2-year cycle. Um, then he tries to get, you know, everyone gets dissatisfied and then they become rendered useless for the next two years and then you just groom the next one, whether it's JD Vance or Balanteer or whoever it may be.

[00:48:56]But Trump gets to get as rich as he can.

[00:48:59]And that's why right now they're plugging they're rushing um the banks and the technology companies are rushing to try and get through clarity act.

[00:49:07]>> Yeah.

[00:49:08]>> That's the final piece in the surveillance state legislation that would completely remove the constitution. When you have bank secrecy act which is where you can circumvent the constitution by calling it terrorism. Uh then you have um the Patriot Act which is um using the word terrorism to circumvent the constitution as well but build the m the justify um the removal of all amendments um as a result. So you have spy software and everything that was created through anti-moneylaundering laws and then national security. Then you combine it with what they got through which is Genius Act. That's programmable money that favors a covert central bank digital currency but privatized.

[00:49:54]>> And then you just need Clarity Act um which is making sure that the game goes to the banks and not um and not the tech companies. So there's a bit of a battle in clarity between tech and finance. Um and there's two directions that can go.

[00:50:10]And depending on who wins that battle, you got to get clarity act before the midterm elections. Um because the Democrats are essentially holding it and saying, "Trump, you made $6 billion through all of your crazy crypto scams.

[00:50:26]We're going to put an ethical clause in there and that ethics clause is being used by the lobby to get it over to the to the banks rather than to the tech bros." That battle has to happen.

[00:50:38]Clarity Act comes through. That's the final piece of legislation. And then Trump can be as useless as you need to do. He can extract as much wealth and he can just get the stock markets higher and higher and higher. Roll over the Ponzi, strip as much as assets as possible. Um and uh and maybe the next two years you can't get anything done.

[00:51:00]>> Yeah. Yeah. And in terms of data centers, I did have a few more questions for you, but we need to wrap up. So, we'll obviously get you back on some of the time and I know you'll be on the space letter, but Simon, where can people find you? I know you do. You obviously have a regret YouTube channel.

[00:51:14]Where can people find you?

[00:51:16]>> Yeah. So, uh Simon Dixon 21 on YouTube.

[00:51:19]Um and, uh you know, that's where I upload any of these interview. I'll upload this interview so my audience can uh also join your channel as well where you've been having great guests, uh doing all the analysis, the military side. Um, I listen to all of those to try and plug into my understanding of the world and um, and so yeah, do YouTube. Um, and then cuz I talk so long, I've been using AI to try and get it down to 5 minute videos and 15minute videos and so I publish all of that on Simon Dixon.

[00:51:49]>> So what does that do? Does that condense down like everything you say into like a 15minute recap?

[00:51:54]>> Yeah. Yeah. So, I'll do like a a rant for 4 hours on everything that happened monetarily this week and what I think is going to happen and then I chuck it into AI and my avatar puts it down to 50 minutes and then I plug it on simonixon.com so I publish those there and then real time analysis. Um I'm always on X and and hanging around with um with everyone on on Ximon Dixon Twitter.

[00:52:18]>> Yeah. And your X handle is Simon Dixon Twitter. So, everyone should follow that as well. Simon, thank you for joining us. always appreciate you.

[00:52:25]>> Okay, thanks for having me.

[00:52:26]>> Thanks a lot. That was Simon Dixon, guys. Make sure you give him a follow.

[00:52:30]Make sure you give him a follow on YouTube and on X. It's a really good analysis. That was really, really good.

[00:52:36]Gave you a lot of information. Sometimes maybe you don't realize how good the analysis is, but it's really good.

[00:52:42]What's your thoughts on what Simon had to say? Like, comment, and subscribe to the channel. What do you think?

[00:52:50]He thinks that this is complete domination of China. Trump has sold out the United States of America to these corporations. The corporations run the United States of America. Trump is but a conduit for them. Interesting analysis.

[00:53:06]Let me know your thoughts in the comments. Do you agree with him or not?
