America's Next Move: Inflation, War & the Future of Money | Dr. Jim Willie | Free The Money Ep. 29 Dr. Jim Willie joins Free the Money to discuss why the conflict with Iran will continue to have consequences far beyond the Middle East. He argues that rising diesel prices, fertilizer shortages, and disruptions to global energy flows are creating conditions for a potential food crisis later this year, with Europe facing the greatest risk due to its dependence on imported oil. We also examine why Jim believes the bond market is rejecting Federal Reserve policy, what Kevin Warsh may face as the new Fed Chair, and the consequences of cutting rates in an environment of rising inflation and weakening demand for U.S. Treasuries. Jim explains why foreign demand for U.S. debt is weakening and outlines a controversial theory that America may increasingly use energy supply and military influence to secure Treasury buyers abroad. Finally, we discuss China's role in a changing global economy and why Jim believes XRP could emerge as a neutral bridge asset in a world where nations need to settle trade without relying on trust.

Ep. 24 | Free The Money | America’s $200 Trillion Problem… Why Bitcoin Wins with James Lavish I sit down with James Lavish who is a Chartered Financial Analyst, co-founder of the Bitcoin Opportunity Fund, and author of The Informationist to break down the reality of the U.S. debt crisis. With roughly $200 trillion in total liabilities, Lavish explains why the system is stuck in a debt spiral with only one real path forward: currency debasement. We explore how this has fueled a “casino economy,” where people feel forced into speculation just to get ahead, and how it all ties back to broken money. From there, the conversation turns to stablecoins and why issuers like Tether have become major buyers of U.S. Treasuries, and why big banks are pushing back against the Clarity Act. Lavish breaks down the Cantillon Effect, showing how those closest to the money printer benefit first, while everyone else falls behind—making a compelling case for Bitcoin as a long-term solution. Lastly, we dive into AI and its impact on jobs and the broader economy. If a large percentage of knowledge workers are displaced, could it trigger a crisis on the scale of 2008? While AI is deeply deflationary, driving down costs and increasing efficiency, it may ultimately force central banks to print even more money to sustain a debt-driven system, setting up a long-term collision between deflationary technology and inflationary policy.

According to Aaron Day, Howard Lutnick’s firm Cantor Fitzgerald invested $600 million into Tether and secured the contract managing the U.S. Treasuries backing it. He argues the biggest beneficiary of the GENIUS Act is Cantor Fitzgerald. Dig deeper and the story starts tying back to Brock Pierce and Jeffrey Epstein. Aaron says the same network of people funded the hijacking of Bitcoin’s development, helped fund USDC, co founded Tether, and backed U.S. CBDC pilot programs.

Bruce Fenton: Bitcoin Was Meant to Replace the Banks, Not Join Them | Free The Money Ep. 27 Bruce Fenton, CEO of Chainstone Labs, joins me on Free the Money for a big-picture conversation about where the world is heading next. We dive into Bruce’s journey from Morgan Stanley and 30+ years in traditional finance into becoming one of Bitcoin’s earliest advocates, launching the legendary Satoshi Roundtable, and witnessing the rise of crypto from the front row. One of the most interesting parts of this conversation was hearing how Bruce has consistently been able to spot major technological shifts — from launching the first finance-related website on the internet in 1994, to recognizing the significance of Bitcoin back in 2012, to now studying the transformative impact AI will have on the world. We discuss the Fourth Turning, the block size wars, the changing culture of Bitcoin, and why Bruce believes the industry has drifted away from its original cypherpunk roots. We also dive into the expansion of financial surveillance through AML/KYC laws, the criminalization of privacy tools, and why developers building open-source privacy technology are increasingly being targeted by regulators and prosecutors. Bruce also shares thoughtful advice on independent thinking, creativity, challenging authority, and why taking action and staying curious may be more important now than ever before.

What is the Billions Network? | Free The Money Ep. 26 Evin McMullen evin, Co-Founder & CEO of Billions, joins Free the Money to discusses decentralized identity, AI agents, privacy, and the future of the internet. Evin explains Billions Network’s mission to “save the internet” in the age of AI and how the company is using zero-knowledge proofs to help verify trust online without exposing unnecessary personal data or relying entirely on centralized systems. We also dive into the risks of centralized identity projects like Worldcoin, the push for age verification laws, AI regulation, and why accountability in the age of autonomous agents may become one of the defining debates of our time. Plus, we explore how platforms like TikTok are already using Billions’ technology, what the future of digital advertising could look like with AI agents, and whether there is actually a middle path between total anonymity and a full surveillance state.

Free The Money | The Dollar’s Last Act: Metals, XRP & The Flip of the System This episode is a macro-level reality check. Black Swan Capitalist from Black Swan Capitalist joins me to unpack what he believes is the final stretch of the fiat money experiment and why 2026 could be the year that separates the “prepared” from the “unprepared.” We dive into why gold and silver are ripping, what the rush into hard assets really signals, and how paper markets (paper silver/gold) could unwind as trust in institutions erodes. From China’s silver export restrictions to BRICS, Basel III, stablecoins propping up T-bill demand, and the growing push toward digital IDs and CBDCs, Versan connects dots most people only see in fragments. On the crypto side, Versan makes his case that XRP isn’t “just crypto", it’s infrastructure: a potential neutral settlement layer designed to sit above the system, not inside it. We discuss XRP’s price and velocity, why regulation could be the turning point, and explore what a future could look like where gold circulates digitally via new rails. 2:05 – What 2026 Has in Store 5:23 – Why Silver Is Exploding 8:09 – The Paper Market Scam 10:01 – China’s Export Ban 11:52 – How Stablecoins Prop Up the Dollar 13:26 – BRICS vs the Dollar System 17:52 – XRP, Japan & the Carry Trade Unwind 22:02 – Why XRP Is So Misunderstood 27:18 – Ripple’s Quiet Role Behind the Scenes 28:54 – What the Clarity Act Really Means for XRP 30:44 – Zebec & the Future of Payroll 36:54 – The Privacy Coin Reckoning 43:44 – Only God Can Save Us 46:25 – The Dollar’s Last Lifeline

Ep. 22 | Free The Money | The Fight for Digital Integrity with Alexis Roussel In this episode, I sit down with privacy activist Alexis Roussel who is the co-founder and COO of Nym Technologies to explore one of the most important ideas of our time: the right to digital integrity. Alexis argues that in a world where our lives are increasingly online, personal data should not be treated as a commodity to be collected, bought, and sold—but as an extension of the individual. Drawing from his background in law, the United Nations, and digital rights advocacy, he explains why protecting human rights in the digital age requires a fundamental shift in how we think about data ownership and privacy. We dive into how governments around the world are tightening control over the internet, from shutdowns in Iran to deep packet inspection, black-box surveillance systems, and forced apps in Russia—and why even EU regulations like the General Data Protection Regulation may be “broken by design.” Alexis makes the case that once data is treated as something that can be collected it opens the door to exploitation. Instead, he’s actively working to enshrine digital integrity into law—pushing to amend the Swiss Constitution so that extracting or misusing personal data without consent is recognized as a violation of human rights. We also explore what comes next: the role of encryption, the dangers of metadata surveillance, and how technologies like Nym’s mixnet aim to make privacy the default. From mesh networks to censorship resistance, this conversation challenges the idea that surveillance equals safety and instead lays out a future where individuals retain control over their digital lives.

Ep. 18 | Free the Money | How to Live Entirely on Crypto in 2026 with Joël Valenzuela Joel Valenzuela from Dash joins me to break down what it really looks like to live entirely on crypto and why is becoming easier than ever. From getting paid in Bitcoin in 2015 to today’s evolving ecosystem, Joël explains how bill pay services, reloadable cards, QR payments, and platforms where users can lend, borrow, and earn yield are making crypto usable in everyday life. Beyond crypto, we explore the Free State Project and why New Hampshire has become a magnet for liberty minded individuals. From policies that support homeschooling to local action creating real change, it reflects a bigger trend described in The Sovereign Individual: in a world where people and capital can move freely, governments must compete to attract them. As individuals and businesses leave high cost, restrictive states like California and New York, places like New Hampshire are positioning themselves as compelling alternatives. At the core is one question: what happens when trust in institutions breaks down? For many, it already has and that’s driving a shift toward choice in money, education, and ultimately where and how you live.
