Episode notes
A white hat hacker just moved 4,000 bitcoin out of Blockstream's Liquid sidechain, and while that story unfolds, the G20 quietly made "growth" the only word that matters. Marty and John break down why debt, deregulation, and cheap energy are becoming the entire playbook - and why Bitcoin keeps showing up as the trade no matter which way the plan breaks.
