🇺🇸🇸🇦🇵🇸 The US Just Got Bought Out…& Palestine May Finally Be Free | Episode 81

It’s Friday, and you know what that means—it’s time to break down the seismic shifts shaping the week in Bitcoin, macroeconomics, and geopolitics.

With Bitcoin once again flirting with all-time highs, the stage is set to climb up the ranks of the largest market capitalization assets in the world. Meanwhile, the U.S. has effectively capitulated to China, locking in tariffs for the next 90 days. And if that wasn’t enough, Trump’s tour of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE has accelerated the rise of the Multipolar World Order (MWO)—a geopolitical realignment I’ve been preparing you for.
So buckle up for BitcoinHardTalk Episode 81!

🚀 In This Episode:
**This Week in Bitcoin, Crypto & CBDCs**
Coinbase secured a major milestone by joining the S&P 500, even as it faced a $20 million ransom attack. Meanwhile, Abu Dhabi continues to quietly strengthen its Bitcoin Strategic Reserves, signaling more sustained institutional interest in Bitcoin.

**This Week in Macro**
Oil prices plummeted following Trump’s high-profile Middle Eastern tour, while the Federal Reserve held interest rates steady. Tariffs on China were extended for 90 days, adding a countdown to potential trade tensions, whilst inflation data came in lower than expected, though this relief may be short-lived as the delayed impact of new tariffs looms on the horizon.

**This Week in Geopolitics**
Tensions between India and Pakistan eased. However, Ukraine-Russia peace talks in Turkey stalled once again, pushing any resolution further down the road. In the Middle East, Israel continued its deadly massacres against Gaza civilians, drawing global condemnation, while Trump made a strategic visit to the region—intentionally skipping Israel. We unpack the broader geopolitical implications of these unfolding crises.
