Guests: Bitcoin Just Pumped $15K and Almost Nobody Told the Real Story
Bitcoin Well PodcastBitcoin ran from $64K to $79K-plus in a single week, hashrate hit an all-time high near 1,020 EH/s, and fees stayed cheap — and almost none of the mainstream coverage mentioned any of that. It was the same ETF-flows, institutional-buying, short-squeeze story on repeat.
GMONEY (Bitcoin self-custody consultant, host of "Bitcoin is Digital 1776") and Rod Palmer (Bugle News, media and culture) join us to tell the story that actually got missed this week — what a $15K move means for the network versus what it means for the price, whether the CLARITY Act's September 15 Senate vote is a win for Bitcoin sovereignty or the start of its domestication, and whether the ColdCard fallout is pushing people toward real self-custody or straight into ETFs.
We close on the big question: does GMONEY's "Bitcoin as Digital 1776" thesis still hold up now that BlackRock has a balance sheet position and Washington is writing the rulebook — or is that exactly how the revolution wins?
