EP65_Base Money-Broken Systems-And Bitcoin's Role with Matthew Mežinkskis
Welcome to Navigating Bitcoin’s Noise, the show where we cut through the clutter and bring you the clearest insights on Bitcoin. I’m your host, Kane McGukin, and today I’m joined by Matthew Mežinskis, widely known as @1basemoney. Matthew is one of the sharpest analysts on global liquidity, central bank balance sheets, and the role of base money in the evolving financial system. In this conversation, we break down how money actually moves from gold to central bank reserves to a system now dominated by liquidity that most people can’t even access. We get into why 2008 changed everything, how bank reserves quietly replaced real money, and why that shift may be pushing the system toward a breaking point. And we ask the question that matters: is Bitcoin just another asset, or is it the next base layer of the global monetary system? If you’re tired of hype and want a first-principles breakdown of how the monetary system actually works, and where Bitcoin fits, this episode is for you. So sit back, relax, and let’s get started.

EP63 The Bitcoin-Backed Shadow Financial System A Strategic Briefing with Matthew Pines
America’s global power has always been built on controlling networks, money, trade, and communication. But today, those networks are under attack. China’s Belt & Road is building a parallel system, Stablecoins are being weaponized as tools of financial repression, and Bitcoin is emerging as a strategic asset that could flip global finance.Add AI-driven narrative warfare, and we’re entering a battle between centralized control, the Tower and decentralized freedom, the Square. Today, Matthew Pines and I unpack how America’s monetary tech stack is being rebuilt; before it’s too late.Kane McGukinX: https://twitter.com/kanemcgukin kanemcgukin.substack.com Matthew PinesX:https://x.com/matthew_pineshttps://www.btcpolicy.org/https://www.btcpolicy.org/articles/a-global-economic-reordering-us-china-competition-and-bitcoin-as-tool-of-us-statecraft
