    Lavish vs Doomberg: The Shocking Risks in Oil & MicroStrategy No One Else Sees

    12/05/2026 | 1h 7 mins.
    Mentor Sessions Ep. 069: Why Oil Refuses To Explode Despite The Iran War, Why Michael Saylor’s MicroStrategy Is Bitcoin’s Biggest Hidden Risk, and How The K-Shaped Economy Is Splitting America In Two | Doomberg & James Lavish

    Iran's conflict is threatening the Strait of Hormuz — and energy markets are not pricing it in. Doomberg and James Lavish join BTC Sessions to break down what an oil shock at $150+ means for the global macro picture, Bitcoin's role as sound money in an energy war, and whether Michael Saylor's Strategy dominance is quietly keeping new investors out of Bitcoin.

    In this conversation you'll learn why Doomberg believes the energy market is sending signals most macro analysts are ignoring, how James Lavish connects an oil supply shock to accelerated monetary debasement and Bitcoin demand, what specific risks Strategy's outsized Bitcoin concentration creates for retail adoption, and why both guests see the current geopolitical moment as one of the most important macro setups for Bitcoin in 2026. You'll also hear their honest assessment of whether Saylor's approach is a net positive or a structural risk for the broader Bitcoin ecosystem.

    Who Really Controls the Iran War | Krainer & Dixon

    07/05/2026 | 2h 11 mins.
    Mentor Sessions Ep. 068: Who Really Controls When the Iran War Ends, Why the World Will Be Unrecognizable in Just 3-5 Years, and How Trump Is Long Bitcoin While Asset Stripping America | Alex Krainer & Simon Dixon

    The Iran conflict isn't just a military standoff — it's a financial and geopolitical operation with specific power players steering the outcome. Alex Krainer and Simon Dixon name them.

    In this conversation, Alex Krainer and Simon Dixon break down the hidden architecture behind the Iran war in 2026 — who controls its escalation, who benefits from its continuation, and why the official narrative misses the real story. You'll learn which financial and geopolitical factions have the most to gain from prolonged conflict, why the war's end date is not determined by military outcomes, and how this connects to the broader global monetary reset both guests have been tracking for years. You'll also see why Simon Dixon argues this is fundamentally a financial operation dressed as a military one — and what that means for Bitcoin as a neutral reserve asset in a world fracturing along these fault lines.

    The Big Lie Masking America’s 50-Year Economic Collapse | Mike Green & Jeffrey Tucker

    04/05/2026 | 1h 27 mins.
    Mentor Sessions Ep. 067: The Big Lie Masking America’s 50-Year Economic Collapse, Boomers Hoarding All Assets With No Buyers Left, and Why AI Demands Expertise| Michael Green & Jeffrey Tucker

    What if the problem isn't the policy — it's the system itself?

    Michael Green and Jeffrey A. Tucker sit down for a rare, wide-ranging conversation that cuts to the root of what's wrong with modern economics, monetary policy, and the assumptions most people never think to challenge. From the structural shifts that began in the mid-20th century to the invisible architecture of today's financial system, this discussion pulls back the curtain on ideas that mainstream economists refuse to touch.

    In this conversation, you'll learn why participation in the current financial system doesn't equal understanding of it, what economic data from 1950 reveals about where we are today, how the incentives baked into modern money shape behavior at every level of society, why Bitcoin represents a genuine alternative rather than just another asset, and what both Green and Tucker believe must change before any real economic reform is possible. If you've ever felt like the official explanations don't add up — this conversation will give you the framework to understand why.

    01/05/2026 | 57 mins.
    Mentor Sessions Ep. 066: Bitcoiners Are Racing for the Exits, Germany Now Requires Military Approval to Leave the Country, and Why Bitcoin + Passport Portfolio Is Your Life-or-Death Survival Plan | Katie Ananina

    We're 18 years into the Fourth Turning. According to Katie Ananina, founder of Citizen X, that means the next 5 to 7 years will reshape borders, tax regimes, and individual sovereignty in ways most people aren't prepared for. In this conversation, Katie breaks down exactly who is leaving, where they're going, and why the window to act is narrowing fast. Whether you're a Bitcoiner protecting generational wealth, a high-net-worth individual seeking legal tax optimization, or simply someone who wants options — this is the roadmap. You'll learn which jurisdictions are actively welcoming Bitcoin wealth, what a real exit strategy looks like, and the specific mistakes people make when they wait too long to move.
