The Frontier

Simon Dixon is addressing public questions on his stance regarding BIP 110, a Bitcoin Improvement Proposal, which he philosophically supports despite recognizing corruption within Bitcoin Core development.

Dixon describes the current debate around BIP 110 as Bitcoin's "second block war," or potentially fourth/fifth when including earlier debates like Bitcoin XT, Bitcoin Classic, and the 2017 block war over SegWit2X.

Adam Back's Bitcoin treasury company (BSTR) was delayed or canceled, which Dixon attributes to Wall Street's attempts to wrap the Bitcoin ecosystem in financial structures for control.

Jack Mallers stepped down as CEO of Strike's reverse-merged Bitcoin treasury company, which Dixon views as an escape from the "Cantar Fitzgerald Fick node" and its influence.

MicroStrategy (MSTR) has shifted its announcements from Bitcoin purchases to dollar holdings, becoming a "dollar maxi" to meet dividend obligations. Dixon interprets this as diluting shareholders due to its Wall Street-wrapped financial structure.

Dixon argues that MicroStrategy, BlackRock, Jane Street, and Cantar Fitzgerald collaborate to create paper versions of Bitcoin, centralizing control and manipulating short-term Bitcoin prices.

Historically, Bitcoin's early forks saw figures like Mike Hearn join R3 for CBDCs, and Gavin Andresen support Craig Wright, leading to Bitcoin Cash and SV. Dixon sees these as community capitulation and deviation from core Bitcoin principles.

Dixon highlights the 2017 New York Agreement, where venture capitalists like Barry Silbert (Digital Currency Group) tried to centralize Bitcoin companies around SegWit2X, opposing the user-activated soft fork.

The Bitcoin ecosystem relies on users running nodes, open-source developers, and miners, with corporate entities often attempting to infiltrate these key decentralized components.

Michael Saylor and MicroStrategy are leading a $15 million "Bitcoin Security Consortium" for quantum computing. Dixon views this as a "New York Agreement 2.0" attempt by major financial institutions to control Bitcoin.

Dixon emphasizes that self-custody and running a Bitcoin node are critical defenses against corporate control, as handing Bitcoin to treasury companies or ETFs surrenders voting power to the Financial Industrial Complex (FIC).

Dixon warns that repeated attempts to fork Bitcoin have historically resulted in "shitcoins" with reduced security, making the current soft fork and hard fork battles crucial for Bitcoin's integrity.

Dixon views the Bitcoin block wars as a "strategy of tension," akin to "Operation Gladio." He suggests conflict is funded on both sides to achieve strategic objectives and monetize post-war outcomes.

Dixon critiques Michael Saylor's MicroStrategy as a public company with a fiduciary duty to shareholders, which he believes makes it an "enemy of Bitcoin" by creating subordinate vehicles for speculation and arbitrage.

Michael Saylor's strategy involves issuing convertible notes and preference shares, accumulating about 850,000 Bitcoin in a vehicle that acts as a "central bank for paper Bitcoin," enabling hedge funds to manipulate its price.

Dixon asserts that the short-term price of Bitcoin is now controlled by Wall Street, which aims to centralize Bitcoin, encourage borrowing against it, and promote perpetual futures to "rugpull" individual holders.

Dixon describes MicroStrategy as the "goose that lays the golden egg for our enemies," serving as an arbitrage vehicle for centralizing Bitcoin rather than a genuine accumulation tool.

The "Clarity Act" and "Genius Act" are legislative mechanisms designed to give legacy banks a head start in issuing stablecoins backed by Federal Reserve reserves and regulate crypto exchanges, enabling a covert CBDC system.

Dixon contends that the Clarity Act aligns with the World Economic Forum's vision of "you will own nothing and be happy" by tokenizing everything, creating programmable IOUs of assets held by custodians.

Tokenization, staking mechanisms in Ethereum ETFs, and proof-of-stake platforms are covert operations funded by Silicon Valley to create programmable securities and money, fulfilling intelligence agencies' surveillance goals.

America's public-private partnerships, including the Trump administration, integrate AI with stablecoins. Meanwhile, BIS's mBridge builds parallel CBDC networks in Asia and the Middle East to circumvent Swift and "kill the dollar."

Elizabeth Warren, despite public rhetoric, serves the banking lobby by advocating for regulations that create "moats" for big companies, thereby protecting banks and consolidating their power.

Dixon argues that unrealized gains taxes, like the Netherlands' (reduced from 36% to 35%), are an "asset stripping" exercise on civilians. Billionaires use offshore corporate structures for exemptions, leading to capital flight.

The asset stripping in countries like the Netherlands aims to acquire key assets, such as ASML, with capital reallocated by the financial industrial complex within a multipolar world.

Dixon suggests individuals must pursue a "sovereign strategy" by boycotting the Financial Industrial Complex, avoiding ETFs and leveraged products, managing their own money, and holding Bitcoin in self-custody.

ETFs now constitute 50% of the market, centralizing purchasing power into entities like BlackRock, State Street, and Vanguard. Dixon sees this as a "neo-currency war" dictating capital flows, with $25 trillion of funds using BlackRock's AI.

China is leading the open-source AI movement, contrasting with America's control grid, and has the potential to "rugpull" Western stock, bond, and commodity markets through its economic leverage.

Dixon asserts that Silicon Valley tech executives, including Elon Musk (SpaceX) and Tim Cook (Apple), are dependent on China for rare earth minerals and manufacturing, highlighting China's significant leverage over Western tech.

Dixon notes his personal journey of divesting from over 100 private equity Bitcoin company investments down to about 40, as they became co-opted by the Financial Industrial Complex and public markets.

Sovereignty involves owning assets without permission, having multiple income streams across jurisdictions, and using trusts to protect wealth from government control, contrasting with complete subordination to banks and state whims.
