Bitcoin Captured? The Battle That Changes Everything!
News

Bitcoin’s BIP-110 soft fork briefly split the chain—but the failed Bitcoin fork may have proven the opposite of corporate capture: nobody, from Michael Saylor and BlackRock to miners and node operators, can unilaterally change Bitcoin’s rules. Meanwhile, the Bank of Japan and U.S. Treasury spent an estimated $87 billion defending the yen as Jamie Dimon exposed what truly supports the dollar’s reserve-currency status. This episode connects Bitcoin consensus, mining centralization, self-custody, hashrate, fiscal dominance, inflation, capital flows, and the accelerating search for neutral digital money.
