"I am illustrating the horror and simplicity of the lie. You are led to believe that you own something, but someone else secretly controls it as collateral, and they have now established legal certainty that they have absolute power to take it immediately in the event of insolvency, and not your insolvency, but insolvency of the people who secretly gave them your property as collateral. It does not seem possible, but this is exactly what has been done with all tradable financial instruments globally. [...] Essentially, all securities, quote, owned by the public in custodial accounts, pension plans, and investment funds are now encumbered as collateral, underpinning the derivatives complex." ~ David Rogers Webb

What if everything you think you own in the financial system has already been secretly pledged as collateral to powerful creditors, who are even explicitly referred to in documentation and law as "the protected class"? In Part 2 of "The Great Taking," we continue into the depths of the legal structure and institutions that comprise a shadow network of secured creditors positioned to seize all tradable assets in the next financial collapse. From CIA operatives orchestrating the transition away from physical certificates to international legal harmonization efforts that override national property laws, this episode reveals how the very concept of ownership may have been quietly redefined while nobody was watching. When the music stops in this global game of financial musical chairs, will ordinary investors discover they never actually owned anything at all?

"It is important to note that what is exposed here is not conjecture. It is found in authentic primary source documents, in which the planners themselves lay out their plans. ... You are about to be confronted with quite shocking, depressing material. You don’t want to know about this. I don’t even want to know about it." ~ David Rogers Webb

What if "The Great Reset" is exactly what it seems? A deliberate plan to subvert the sovereignty of every nation on earth by a system of total monetary and technological control? Would there be any reason to believe the narratives of our political environments, or the economic metrics published to show how everything is business as usual? What is the real story, and as things are now unfolding before us, what can we do to protect ourselves and make sense of the coming end to a generational cycle?

Today we start into The Great Taking, to be covered in 4 parts, of the real story behind what may be the greatest rug pull of all time. Let's dive in

"People can use inscriptions today and they do use them.
If on the one hand you believe that marginally raising the costs to unwanted usage of the chain is going to succeed in discouraging them, which, fair, we can discuss it. I disagree but we can discuss it. On the other hand, you cannot say that, oh well, making it four times four times more expensive is going to incentivize them to do more of it. They are not compatible arguments.
So the OP_RETURN is not an invitation. It's not a signal to VCs or crypto or shitcoiners, because shitcoiners can already use the witness data today for four times less."
~ Antoine Poinsot

What happens when strong opinions collide in the name of Bitcoin’s future?

In this episode, I sit down with Bitcoin Core contributor Antoine Poinsot to explore one of the most heated and misunderstood technical debates in the space today — the controversy around OP_RETURN, spam filtering, and the deeper cultural divide over what Bitcoin should be.
Antoine reached out after and wanted the chance to present his views on the OP_RETUN debate and respond to some of Bitcoin Mechanic’s comments and criticisms from our Roundtable_009 episode. So I brought him on to make his case directly. We get into inscriptions, BitVM, node policy, mining centralization, and how to think clearly in a space full of noise and personal attacks.

If you've felt lost in the drama, this is the calm, thoughtful signal you’ve been waiting for.
