"Privacy Is NOT a Right" – But It Is Your Best Defense | Molyneux & Hillebrand May 19, 2026

Mentor Sessions Ep. 070: Why “Nothing to Hide” Is the Most Dangerous Lie Ever Sold, Why Privacy Is NOT a Right But Your Only Real Defense, and How Tech Can Crush Free-Range Serfdom | Molyneux & Hillebrand

Privacy is a consequence of property rights — and the government is racing to destroy both. Stefan Molyneux and Max Hillebrand join BTC Sessions for a rare, unfiltered debate on why surrendering your financial data to CBDCs is the endgame of totalitarian control, and how Bitcoin privacy tools like Coinjoin and zero-knowledge proofs are the last line of defense.

You'll learn why the 'nothing to hide' argument is one of the most dangerous lies ever sold to the public, how social credit scores are already being constructed through blockchain surveillance, and why Max Hillebrand's work on Wasabi Wallet — funded entirely by a 0.3% fee — paid 40 engineers without a single government grant. You'll also see Stefan and Max debate intellectual property from first principles, explore whether privacy is an outcome or a prerequisite of a free society, and understand why the OODA loop from military strategy explains exactly why financial privacy keeps you safe.

Lavish vs Doomberg: The Shocking Risks in Oil & MicroStrategy No One Else Sees May 12, 2026

Show notes

Mentor Sessions Ep. 069: Why Oil Refuses To Explode Despite The Iran War, Why Michael Saylor’s MicroStrategy Is Bitcoin’s Biggest Hidden Risk, and How The K-Shaped Economy Is Splitting America In Two | Doomberg & James Lavish

Iran's conflict is threatening the Strait of Hormuz — and energy markets are not pricing it in. Doomberg and James Lavish join BTC Sessions to break down what an oil shock at $150+ means for the global macro picture, Bitcoin's role as sound money in an energy war, and whether Michael Saylor's Strategy dominance is quietly keeping new investors out of Bitcoin.

In this conversation you'll learn why Doomberg believes the energy market is sending signals most macro analysts are ignoring, how James Lavish connects an oil supply shock to accelerated monetary debasement and Bitcoin demand, what specific risks Strategy's outsized Bitcoin concentration creates for retail adoption, and why both guests see the current geopolitical moment as one of the most important macro setups for Bitcoin in 2026. You'll also hear their honest assessment of whether Saylor's approach is a net positive or a structural risk for the broader Bitcoin ecosystem.

Mentor Sessions Ep. 068: Who Really Controls When the Iran War Ends, Why the World Will Be Unrecognizable in Just 3-5 Years, and How Trump Is Long Bitcoin While Asset Stripping America | Alex Krainer & Simon Dixon

The Iran conflict isn't just a military standoff — it's a financial and geopolitical operation with specific power players steering the outcome. Alex Krainer and Simon Dixon name them.

In this conversation, Alex Krainer and Simon Dixon break down the hidden architecture behind the Iran war in 2026 — who controls its escalation, who benefits from its continuation, and why the official narrative misses the real story. You'll learn which financial and geopolitical factions have the most to gain from prolonged conflict, why the war's end date is not determined by military outcomes, and how this connects to the broader global monetary reset both guests have been tracking for years. You'll also see why Simon Dixon argues this is fundamentally a financial operation dressed as a military one — and what that means for Bitcoin as a neutral reserve asset in a world fracturing along these fault lines.

The Big Lie Masking America’s 50-Year Economic Collapse | Mike Green & Jeffrey Tucker May 04, 2026

Show notes

Mentor Sessions Ep. 067: The Big Lie Masking America’s 50-Year Economic Collapse, Boomers Hoarding All Assets With No Buyers Left, and Why AI Demands Expertise| Michael Green & Jeffrey Tucker

What if the problem isn't the policy — it's the system itself?

Michael Green and Jeffrey A. Tucker sit down for a rare, wide-ranging conversation that cuts to the root of what's wrong with modern economics, monetary policy, and the assumptions most people never think to challenge. From the structural shifts that began in the mid-20th century to the invisible architecture of today's financial system, this discussion pulls back the curtain on ideas that mainstream economists refuse to touch.

In this conversation, you'll learn why participation in the current financial system doesn't equal understanding of it, what economic data from 1950 reveals about where we are today, how the incentives baked into modern money shape behavior at every level of society, why Bitcoin represents a genuine alternative rather than just another asset, and what both Green and Tucker believe must change before any real economic reform is possible. If you've ever felt like the official explanations don't add up — this conversation will give you the framework to understand why.

We’re in the FINAL Phase of the Global Reset (Iran Update) | Simon Dixon Apr 21, 2026

Show notes

Mentor Sessions Ep. 064: The Iran 'War' Is Pure Theater, America's Planned Asset Stripping, and the Final Phase of the Global Reset | Simon Dixon

The Iran conflict looks like the world is on the brink of World War 3. Simon Dixon says it's a carefully staged negotiation —

and the real prize isn't territory. It's oil prices, currency agreements, and Bitcoin.

Simon Dixon returns to break down why the Iran-U.S. standoff is better understood as a theatrical operation run by the

OPEC and financial industrial complex to transition Iran into a Chinese-led new world order. In this conversation, Simon

explains how BlackRock's Aladdin algorithmic trading system is being used to manage oil price narratives, why Iran's Bitcoin

mining operations are a significant leverage point in back-channel negotiations, and how figures like J.D. Vance are being

positioned for future political roles in this transition. You'll walk away understanding exactly which economic signals to watch

— energy prices, currency pegs, global equity markets — as leading indicators of how this geopolitical restructuring plays

out.

Mentor Sessions Ep. 062: CIA’s Deep State Ultimatum, the Next 7–10 Trillion Dollar Print, and Who Really Controls Trump | Lawrence Lepard & Simon Dixon

Shadow forces. Transnational capital. A financial system designed to keep you dependent. And Bitcoin sitting at the center of the most important power struggle of our time.

In this conversation, we go deep on the geopolitical and financial forces reshaping the world in 2026 — who controls them, how they operate, and why Bitcoin and AI are forcing a reckoning that the old guard cannot stop.

The Real War Isn’t in Iran — It’s in the US Treasury Market | Luke Gromen & Lyn Alden Apr 07, 2026

Mentor Sessions Ep. 061: Macro Legends on Oil, the Breaking US Treasury Market, and the Dollar Crisis No One Is Ready For | Luke Gromen & Lyn Alden

Iran doesn't have to beat the US military. They just have to beat the US Treasury market — and that changes everything you think you know about this conflict.

The Strait of Hormuz is the chokepoint for roughly 20% of the world's oil supply, and right now it sits at the center of a geopolitical storm with consequences that reach far beyond the Middle East. In this deep-dive interview, we break down exactly how a Hormuz disruption cascades into oil price spikes, supply chain breakdowns, and a inflation surge that puts the US dollar's reserve status under unprecedented pressure. You'll understand why this conflict is as much a financial war as a military one, what it means for energy markets in 2026, and why Bitcoin's role as a neutral, non-sovereign asset has never been more relevant. Whether you're trying to protect your wealth or just make sense of the headlines, this conversation gives you the framework to think clearly when the noise is loudest.
