In this episode of #BitcoinHardTalk, Simon Dixon dives deep into Donald Trump’s latest move—launching the crypto platform, World Liberty Financial. Joined by his sons Eric, Donald Jr., and Barron, Trump enters the DeFi space with promises of self-custody, token-based investments, and more. But is this project a genuine attempt at financial innovation, or does it pose a serious threat to Bitcoin’s credibility?

Simon discusses the potential regulatory minefield Trump is stepping into, with a particular focus on the 70% insider pre-mined tokens, drawing parallels to Ripple’s ongoing SEC battles. He also explores how Trump’s new crypto venture could impact his political future, especially with the upcoming 2024 presidential campaign.

This episode isn’t just about crypto. Simon also covers crucial geopolitical developments as tensions rise between the UK, Russia, and Ukraine. With the U.S. and UK pushing for long-range missile approval and risking direct conflict with Russia, this episode connects the dots between centralized financial power, military escalations, and Bitcoin’s role in safeguarding individual wealth.
