#667: The Silent Coup with Maryland Hodl

MARTY BENT
About this episode

Marty sits down with Maryland HODL to discuss systemic vibrations signaling monetary transition, how bitbonds and stablecoins could facilitate a shift from an inflationary to deflationary system, the strategic realignment happening within the Treasury and Fed, and why Bitcoin's role as pristine collateral represents the only viable path to navigate the fourth turning without catastrophic conflict.
