Larry Fink’s "Evolution" on Bitcoin Is a Masterclass in Oligarchic Hypocrisy BlackRock CEO & WEF co-chairman Larry Fink just admitted he was "wrong" about Bitcoin. But his confession reveals a chilling worldview. In 2017, he stood with Jamie Dimon, dismissing Bitcoin as the "currency for money launderers and thieves."... Today, BlackRock runs the world's largest Bitcoin ETF. What changed? According to Fink, it wasn't a moral awakening; it was a cold, calculated realization of where true power lies in a decaying global system. Here’s what Fink is really saying: - Bitcoin is the "Currency of Fear." He admits people don't buy it out of hope, but out of desperation. They are "frightened of their security" and "frightened of the debasement" of their national currency. He sees the crumbling faith in the very fiat system his institution profits from. - It's a Tool for Bypassing Failed States. He learned of an Afghan woman using Bitcoin to pay female workers under the Taliban. His takeaway? When state-controlled banking becomes an instrument of oppression or collapses, decentralized networks become essential. He’s not celebrating freedom; he’s acknowledging a new, unstoppable geopolitical reality. - He Admits Its Illicit Use Case is Overblown. By highlighting that 20% of Bitcoin ownership is Chinese despite it being illegal, he implicitly concedes its primary use is not crime, but as a safeguard against authoritarian capital controls and economic instability. The Stunning Conclusion: Fink’s journey is the ultimate indictment of the system he helps lead. He now embraces Bitcoin not because he believes in its libertarian ideals, but because he recognizes it as the inevitable "digital gold" for a world losing trust in governments and central banks. BlackRock isn't "believing" in Bitcoin; it's commodifying your fear. They failed to kill it, so now they're seizing it, packaging it into an ETF, and selling your desperation back to you. The man who called it a tool for thieves now runs the world's biggest vault. The "evolution" isn't in Fink's character; it's in his strategy to control the very asset built to escape his control.show more

BlackRock CEO Larry Fink says he changed his mind on Bitcoin. After years of calling it “the domain of money launderers and thieves,” he tells 60 Minutes “there is a role for crypto in the same way there is a role for gold” and says markets made him “relook at assumptions”.

The unmasked hypocrisy of Larry Fink is on full display. The BlackRock CEO frames his climate crusade in the language of altruism, but his own words reveal a cold, calculated strategy for control. He doesn't see a planet in crisis; he sees a portfolio at risk. His primary concern isn't extinction, but inflation. He speaks of "leaving parts of society behind" not with remorse, but as an acceptable cost of doing business. His solution? Not to empower people or nations, but to position BlackRock as the central planner of the new green economy. Use foundation funds to de-risk technologies, so corporate capital can later swoop in to own and profit from them. It's a brilliant, self-serving loop: his philanthropy builds the pipeline his corporation monopolizes. His goal is to "bring down the green premium" not to achieve justice, but to force compliance and maintain the existing economic order. He will decide which technologies win, which regions develop, and which behaviors are acceptable—all under the guise of fiduciary duty. This is the ultimate power grab: using the fear of climate catastrophe to justify an unprecedented concentration of financial and technological control. It's not about saving the world. It's about owning the future and forcing everyone to live in it on his terms.

"Where are the servers of Bitcoin located?” - Prof Jiang That single question from Jiang shows the misunderstanding immediately. Bitcoin does not run on one company’s servers, Bitcoin runs on a distributed network of nodes spread across the world, which is exactly why it is hard to censor, shut down, or control, plus the mining system on top of it to protect it with energy. When someone frames Bitcoin like a centralized system, they are not critiquing Bitcoin as it is. They are critiquing a version of Bitcoin that exists only in their own confusion.

Larry Fink, the CEO of BlackRock and a WEF co-chair, just gave a masterclass in globalist doublespeak. A critical listen reveals the true agenda. What he says is that the US dollar's dominance is fading due to digital currency, and we must "unlock private capital" to grow. What he means is far more revealing: 1. On Currency: The move toward "stable coins" and digital currency isn't a passive trend; it's an active project. Fink & the WEF envision a future where they, not nation-states, control the monetary rails. The diminishing role of the dollar is a feature, not a bug, of this planned system. 2. On "Unlocking Private Capital": This is the core euphemism. It doesn't mean freeing entrepreneurs. It means systematically removing democratic hurdles—like "streamlining permitting" and regulations—that protect citizens and national sovereignty. It’s about handing the keys of the economy to a consortium of mega-corporations and financial giants like BlackRock. 3. On "Growth": His message to Japan and Italy is a threat: grow on our terms or be crushed by your deficits. It's the language of a financial technocrat who sees nations not as sovereign cultures, but as balance sheets to be managed and consolidated. Most chillingly, Fink claims there is less systemic risk because risks are now hidden in the opaque, unregulated world of private credit. He admits a "big credit event" is coming, but dismisses it as "just losses." This is the ultimate arrogance: the architects of this new system believe they've offloaded the risk onto you—the investor, the saver, the citizen—while insulating themselves. The summary is clear: The future Fink envisions is one of centralized digital control, uneconomic growth mandates, and a financial system where the losses are yours, but the control is theirs.

Mark Cuban has sold majority of his Bitcoin. Cuban originally bought Bitcoin with one thesis in mind: "It was a better version of gold than gold." A hedge against fiat currency losing its value. When the dollar weakens, Bitcoin should go up. But that thesis just blew up in his face. During the Iran war, when geopolitical risk was spiking and the dollar was sliding, Bitcoin dropped. Gold went to $5,000. Think about what he was expecting. Bitcoin is priced in dollars. When the dollar falls, Bitcoin becomes cheaper for buyers around the world. Global demand should kick in and push the price up. It didn't happen. Gold did exactly what it was supposed to do as a macro hedge. Bitcoin didn't. And for Cuban, that was the line. The whole premise of holding it was gone. He's more disappointed in Bitcoin than Ethereum. He had already written off memecoins as garbage entirely. This matters beyond just one billionaire's portfolio decision. The "Bitcoin as digital gold" narrative has been the backbone of institutional adoption for years. It's the reason pension funds, family offices, and corporate treasuries started buying. If that hedge thesis is broken, the next buyer at these prices needs a different reason to hold. The honest reality: Bitcoin is still trading like a risk asset. It correlates with tech stocks in a downturn and doesn't decouple when it matters most. Gold doesn't have that problem.

On the Dutch television a stock market analyst explains #Bitcoin as an illiquid asset, hence why big players can’t sell & the drop to $90K took place. He also told that one of the biggest holders of Bitcoin is Elon Musk, as he owns ‘blocks’ of Bitcoin and its in their best interest to see Bitcoin succeed. Anno 2024, 15 years after the birth of Bitcoin, there’s still a platform for unknowledged analysts to spread lies about Bitcoin. Imagine what you’re being told about fiat currencies and the financial system.

Those NDAs are strong with Robbie Mitchnick of BlackRock. Reminds me of when Larry Fink told CNBC his clients had no interest in crypto before he issued a Bitcoin ETF. They're not going to say a word about XRP until they can offer it to their clients. Then they'll say it out loud to drive the price up just like they played Bitcoin.

LUKE GROMEN SAYS NO ONE HAS ACCURATELY DESCRIBED HIS NEAR-TERM BEARISH STANCE ON BITCOIN So here it is, line by line: • Gromen says he sold most, but not all, of his Bitcoin. • He argues most people misunderstand why he is bearish. • He says his thesis that Bitcoin is the last functioning smoke alarm of global liquidity has been proven right. • What was proven wrong, for now, is Bitcoin as a neutral reserve asset in deflation. • In deflation, Bitcoin trades like a high beta tech stock. • In other words, Bitcoin behaves like equity, not cash or gold. • The global economy is extremely leveraged. • In any leveraged system, deflation hits the equity tranche first. • Bitcoin, in Gromen’s framework, is the equity tranche. • AI and robotics are enforcing accelerating, exponential deflation. • Productivity gains overwhelm anything short of extreme money printing. • Without “nuclear printing,” deflation dominates. • When deflation dominates, equity prices fall. • Because Bitcoin trades like equity, Bitcoin falls. • Gromen does not think nuclear printing is coming soon. • He thinks sentiment on Bitcoin remains extremely bullish because of all the hate he has gotten for selling. • Long term, he is still bullish on Bitcoin. • He still expects deflation to eventually force the 'nuclear printing'. • His mistake was timing the policy response too early. • Until that response arrives, he believes Bitcoin is vulnerable.

"If you're under 40, I guess Bitcoin is your new gold." Some people are using this clip and others to paint Warsh as friendly to Bitcoin. Warsh is not a strong proponent for Bitcoin or an outlier. He is part of the system. A Cantillionaire plugged into the money nipple. He was a Fed governor during the GFC, and helped draft and implement the bailouts. He is incredibly wealthy and his family connections and interest ensure that he will put those interests-and the Fed's-first. I see the same people in power, protecting their rice bowl.

Pio reveals the real reason why Saylor sold 32 Bitcoin "People ask why he sold the 32 Bitcoin, and it's two reasons. They want S&P inclusion, and they want a better rating from the agencies that rate these preferred equities. Right now their rating is junk, the agencies are literally writing the Bitcoin to zero, not recognizing it as an asset." "This sounds insane but go try it. If you have 5 million dollars of real Bitcoin on chain and you walk into a bank for a mortgage loan and offer it as collateral, they go, so that's zero. I'm not kidding. But if you hold IBIT, the Bitcoin ETF, that's totally fine, because it's just an equity." "The S&P gatekeepers specifically said that because Saylor had demonstrated he'd never sell any Bitcoin, they couldn't view it as a viable part of his balance sheet. So he needs to show he can pay the dividend with Bitcoin if he has to. Once stretch gets a AAA rating, do you know how much capital a thing paying 11% is going to attract?"

The XRP Army sniffed this guy out long ago. Now he's saying the quiet part out loud. The Bitcoin PR machine made a decision somewhere back in 2017 to serve up a plate of nothing but Bitcoin Bitcoin Bitcoin Ethereum Bitcoin Bitcoin Ethereum and it was a plate of BS with a side of more BS. They had plenty of help from their friends at CNBC and the mainstream crypto media. We stayed focused on what made sense not only to us but to Pomp himself before he was told to change his narrative. XRP. Lock In!

Scott Bessent just told the world that financial infrastructure is a weapon and then 4-star admiral just told Congress what beats it. Admiral Paparo, head of US Indo-Pacific Command, called Bitcoin "a peer-to-peer, zero trust transfer of value" that supports "all instruments of national power." He said this in a Senate hearing. On the record. Right as the Treasury was openly bragging about engineering currency collapse in Iran as a military strategy. Operation Economic Fury works because the legacy system runs on trust. Trust that your reserves are safe. Trust that your payment rails stay open. Trust that the correspondent bank holding your nation's wealth doesn't get a strongly worded letter from Washington tomorrow morning. The dollar is a weapon precisely because everyone agreed to depend on it. Zero trust money breaks that weapon entirely. Here's where the game theory gets uncomfortable. Iran already figured this out. Cut off from SWIFT, they built alternatives. They mined Bitcoin at scale. They collected tolls on 20% of the world's oil supply in Bitcoin, settled on-chain before any Western authority could touch it. Your sanctioned adversary is already operating on the network your admiral just called a tool of national power. The CCP's monetary think tank reached the same conclusion. After Trump announced the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, they published research on Bitcoin as a strategic asset. The same government that built a surveillance state on financial control is studying the one monetary network that surveillance can't reach. When your enemies are adopting Bitcoin and your own generals are calling it a power projection tool, you don't get to opt out. You can't sanction your way around it. You can't bomb the network into submission. The only move left is to accumulate faster than your adversary. Bessent is showing you what the old system can do to you. Paparo is telling you what replaces it. Iran is proving it works in live conditions. And the CCP is taking notes. Bitcoin doesn't care who's winning the geopolitical argument. It just keeps producing blocks. The admiral knows it. Iran knows it. The CCP knows it. The senator in that hearing room admitted he couldn't even follow the conversation. That gap is where everything is decided.

ONE OF THE WORLD GREATEST INVESTORS ON WHY BITCOIN $BTC IS ANTISOCIAL, STUPID AND IMMORAL! Charlie Munger gave this interview not long before his death, here are his key thoughts on $BTC: - "The Computer Science that is behind Bitcoin is a great triumph for the human mind" - "They've actually created a product that is hard to create more of, but not impossible" - "A lot of the Computer Science people love it just because its such an extreme achievement of Computer Science" - "I see an artificial speculative medium, that people are buying just because they think they can sell it to somebody else at a higher price, even though it inherently has no intrinsic value" - "I regard the whole business as anti-social, stupid and immoral" In summary: 1. Munger’s issue wasn’t the tech - it was the economics. He admired the innovation but saw no cash flow or intrinsic value behind the asset. 2. His critique reflects classic value-investing logic: if you can’t price it, you’re not investing..you’re speculating. 3. He viewed Bitcoin’s rise as a product of FOMO and gambler psychology, not productive economic activity. I agree with him, Bitcoin is not a store of value it's dropped 30% in just the last few weeks. BITCOIN IS NOT THE NEW GOLD!

BITCOIN CIVIL WAR: Digital Cash vs Digital Capital Michael Saylor calls Bitcoin digital capital, but now says he is turning Bitcoin into money through digital credit. So what is Bitcoin really? Is it peer-to-peer digital cash meant to be spent, or pristine digital capital meant to be saved, collateralized, and used to attack the fiat system? In this video, Adam Livingston breaks down the ideological split inside Bitcoin between the digital cash camp and the digital capital camp, why both sides have strong arguments, and how Bitcoin may ultimately become cash because it first becomes the dominant form of capital.

Ledger Co-Founder: If Bitcoin Hits $1 Million, It Could Mean War or a Fiat System Collapse Ledger co-founder Eric Larchevêque Eric Larchevêque said in a June 25 interview with When Shift Happens that a world where Bitcoin reaches $1 million or even $10 million may not be a good one, but one marked by wars, fiat currency failures, debt crises and social unrest. He said Bitcoin has little value in a perfect world because no one needs it. But in an unstable world, Bitcoin becomes important as a final settlement asset and a tool to protect wealth. For people in Iran and France, he added, Bitcoin does not carry the same meaning.

Vinny Lingham on exactly how the MSTR empire could crash step by step "The moment MSTR trades at a discount he cannot raise more cash. He is locked out. He cannot sell MSTR. He cannot sell STRC. Then he starts running out of cash. Call it nine months, eight months, seven months" "The market prices this in well in advance. The biggest buyer of Bitcoin is being removed. People selling Bitcoin are going to push the price down" "There is a void that forms in the market. The person who has been providing liquidity for years is no longer providing it. The price of Bitcoin goes into a deeper bear market. And then he has to sell Bitcoin to pay the interest on the preferreds"

THIS IS THE MOST PRO-BITCOIN STATEMENT FROM LARRY FINK YET At the DealBook Summit, BlackRock’s CEO said his “thought process has evolved” on crypto, then proceeded to explain Bitcoin’s entire use case to a room full of Wall Street elites. He framed #Bitcoin as protection against physical insecurity, financial instability, and long-term debasement, and said the recent crash was driven by leveraged players, not fundamentals. Fink runs $13.5T and just positioned Bitcoin as a macro hedge, not a speculation. And when he blames the drawdown on leverage, he’s telling institutions the long-term thesis is intact. That’s the kind of language big money uses right before increasing their $BTC exposure. 🚀

As the interview moved toward its conclusion, Jay widened the lens beyond Epstein to the Orwellian system taking shape around us. He described the endgame as a “global hive mind,” a structure where surveillance, AI, behavioral conditioning, and economic control fuse into one framework. He referenced elite discussions of a “global interlinked brain” that can be steered by those at the top. This, he argued, is where pre-crime AI and technocracy converge. Control no longer requires secret labs. It operates through media, pharmaceuticals, education, digital platforms, and financial rails. He called it “MKUltra on a mass scale,” suggesting society itself has become the experiment. Then he brought it back to money. He drew a hard line between Bitcoin and the direction he sees elites moving. Epstein’s interest, he argued, didn’t align with decentralization. It pointed toward something closer to a central bank digital currency. Bitcoin has a fixed supply and is decentralized. A CBDC would be centrally issued, infinitely inflatable, and fully “tracked, traced, and controlled by the central state.” That distinction, he argued, is everything. Epstein wasn’t embracing decentralization. He was tracking emerging trends and positioning himself around systems that could be steered toward centralized control. Jay urged viewers to reduce reliance on centralized systems and understand the financial architecture being built around them. Because, as he emphasized, “Bitcoin is the opposite of a central bank digital currency.”

BITCOIN IS FOR BOOMERS Bitcoin is the Facebook of speculative assets. Think about that for a second. Your kids aren't on Facebook. Neither is anyone under 30. They're on Instagram, TikTok, whatever comes next. Same thing is happening with Bitcoin. The narrative was simple: digital gold. A hedge against fiat currency debasement. Store of value in an uncertain world. So what happened last year? Gold doubled. Silver tripled. The NASDAQ ripped higher. Bitcoin? Went nowhere. If you're rooting for risk assets to rally, Bitcoin should work. But it didn't. If you're rooting for gold to rally, Bitcoin should work. But it didn't. The volatility that made Bitcoin exciting is gone. And when there's no juice, speculators leave. I had a young engineer in one of my Twitter Spaces a few weeks ago. Smart kid. He told me he sold his Bitcoin and bought gold and silver. Then he said he "totally disagreed" with my theory that declining Bitcoin volatility is bearish. I asked him why he sold. "It wasn't moving enough." He literally proved my point without knowing it. Meanwhile, the real action is elsewhere: FanDuel. DraftKings. Zero-DTE options. Prediction markets. Why wait around for a 10% Bitcoin move when you can get instant gratification betting on tonight's game or buying options that expire in 4 hours? The democratization of speculation created better dopamine delivery systems. Bitcoin was the gateway drug. Now there's harder stuff. And the hodlers who've been there since the early days are finally SELLING. Supply is coming out. The diamond hands are becoming paper hands. It's not my job to tell you what to think. But when an asset class trades inversely to its own thesis, I pay attention. When the volatility disappears and speculators find faster games, I pay attention. When the only people left defending it are the ones who bought at higher prices, I pay attention. Bitcoin isn't dead. The internet didn't die after 2000 either. But if you bought Cisco at the peak, you're still underwater 25 years later. The technology can survive... Your portfolio might not.
