#210 - Simon Dixon - "They're Coming For Everything": $40T Debt, AI Job Collapse & The CBDC Grid

Simon Dixon is an author, early Bitcoin investor, and co-founder of Bank To The Future, with over two decades of experience across stockbroking, market making, and investment banking. Having observed system mechanics from the inside, he specialises in macro structural shifts, sovereign debt cycles, and the emerging intersection between traditional finance, AI infrastructure, and digital assets.Simon and I discuss the $40 trillion US national debt crisis, the mechanics behind Treasury debt rollovers, and how central banks socialise bond market losses onto ordinary citizens while privatising gains into stock markets. We also discuss the corporate debt boom driving the AI data centre build-out, real-term wealth erosion in the housing market, and how technocratic structures are positioning programmable money and CBDCs as crisis bailouts.- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -TIMESTAMPS:00:00:00 - The $40 Trillion US Debt Milestone00:02:09 - Understanding Treasuries &amp; The $9.7T Debt Rollover00:06:30 - Socializing Losses &amp; Inflation On The Middle Class00:10:48 - Bond Vigilantes &amp; Foreign Lenders (Cayman &amp; Japan)00:12:46 - The Triffin Dilemma &amp; World Reserve Currency00:16:00 - SpaceX Valuation &amp; Stock Market Mechanics00:19:03 - The Corporate AI Debt Build-Out00:22:04 - Protecting Assets Against Currency Debasement00:24:47 - AI Disinflation vs Currency Debasement00:28:36 - Comparing The AI Boom To 2000 &amp; 200800:31:36 - UK Property Market &amp; Inflation-Adjusted Returns00:33:46 - Wealth Taxes, Exit Taxes &amp; Asset Acquisitions00:41:20 - Will AI Eliminate Middle-Class Jobs?00:44:14 - Programmable Money, CBDCs &amp; Social Credit Systems00:50:44 - Three Classes Of The Technocratic Era00:54:47 - The Role Of Bitcoin In Financial Resistance00:57:12 - Why Key Management Is The Ultimate Digital Skill01:00:00 - The Coldcard Exploit &amp; Hardware Wallet Lessons01:08:16 - Simon's Origin: The 2000 Dot-Com Crash01:13:58 - Rules Of The Game &amp; Building A Sovereign Plan01:21:50 - Reconnecting Outside Of The Digital Screen- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -CONTACT PETE› Website – http://petermccormack.com› Feedback – https://www.petermccormack.com/contact› Email – me@petermccormack.com› Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/mccormack555/› X/Twitter – https://x.com/petermccormack/CONNECT WITH SIMON DIXON› X/Twitter – https://x.com/SimonDixonTwitt› Simon Dixon Hard Talk – https://www.youtube.com/@SimonDixonOfficialSPONSORS› IREN – https://www.iren.com/› Venice – https://venice.ai/› Arch Public – https://archpublic.com/peter› Expat Money – https://expatmoney.com/peter- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE› Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/40ruY9K› Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3Wc94Vu› Fountain: https://bit.ly/FountainPM› YouTube: https://bit.ly/YouTube_PM› Rumble: https://bit.ly/RumblePMFILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR› https://www.curttaylor.co.uk/› https://x.com/curttayloruk/EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK› https://x.com/ConorM04- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -<p style='color
