🇺🇸🇨🇳Google & China Ban Bitcoin? | #BitcoinHardTalk Episode 93

Hey-Hey, Bitcoin Wealth Builders!

It’s Friday—and that means it’s time to decode this week's shifts in Bitcoin, macroeconomics, and geopolitics.

It’s time for Episode 93 of BitcoinHardTalk.

**This Week in Bitcoin, Crypto & CBDCs**
Google kicked off the week with a bombshell—announcing it would ban all wallets from Google Play if they weren’t licensed in the US or EU…even self-custody wallets.
Then… they reversed it. 😂
China joined the chaos, declaring it would extend its bitcoin exchange and mining ban to cover crypto ownership.
Then…they reversed it. 😂
Not to be outdone, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced America wouldn’t buy more bitcoin for its strategic reserves or revalue gold from $42.
Then…you guessed it — he reversed it. 😂
A rollercoaster week—and I’ll break down exactly how to protect yourself from Google, China, and the dollar, plus everything you need to know about what really happened the week in Bitcoin.

**This Week in Macro**
US consumer price inflation numbers came in calm…until producer price inflation smashed the calm with panic.
Trump teased he was close to a trade deal with China and India—then it soured with India, who instead inked deals with Russia. Meanwhile, the US extended talks with China by another 90 days, just as Beijing told its tech giants to stop importing Nvidia and AMD chips for “national security” reasons.
And just to keep the week spicy, Trump moved to militarize the police in Washington DC, sparking fears of unrest that could mirror LA’s past chaos.
The US’s isolation-and-destabilization campaign keeps looking eerily like the playbook we’ve seen in the UK and Europe.
I’ll unpack all this and the rest of the week’s macro madness.

**This Week in Geopolitics**
The UK, EU, Australia, and Canada are racing toward a September deadline to formally recognize Palestine as a state—aiming to pressure Israel to end the genocide—while the world’s newest $2 trillion Norwegian sovereign wealth fund announced divestments from Israel.
Meanwhile, Trump greenlit a full-scale occupation of Gaza by Israel while reportedly exploring a pardon deal for Ghislaine Maxwell—right before his meeting with Putin.
This coincided with a $35 billion Egypt–Israel gas deal that triggered global outrage…but those who follow the money on Bitcoin Hard Talk may see it in a very different light.
I’ll cover all this—and what it really means—in this week’s deep dive into this week in geopolitics.

Bitcoin bans, flip flop trade deals, inflation, war, surveillance, and financial sovereignty—it’s all connected.
