They Used The Fed To Distract You — A Major Bitcoin Attack Just WON.

LIVE 🔴 – Illinois just signed the most aggressive Bitcoin tax in US history — a 0.2% gross-value levy on digital asset transactions that costs you $2,000 on a $1M Bitcoin transfer while a bank wire costs zero. That's not a bug. That's the policy. In this week's Bitcast, you'll see exactly why the Illinois Digital Asset Tax is structurally different from anything passed before — and why it sets a dangerous precedent for every other state watching. You'll learn what the Fed's new Warsh-era dot plot actually signals (hint: rate cuts are off the table, and the market hasn't fully priced it). And you'll see why Michael Saylor's 'never sell Bitcoin' message gets complicated when Strategy's own balance sheet tells a different story. We also break down Canada's three rushed internet surveillance bills — C-34, C-36, and C-22 — passed without meaningful parliamentary debate, the $5 trillion question hanging over AI capital allocation, the SPLC scandal involving $1.2 million funneled to a neo-Nazi group's romantic partner, and what the UK's nationwide facial recognition rollout means for anyone who values privacy. Every story in this episode connects back to the same thesis: the case for Bitcoin self-custody isn't theoretical anymore — it's being written in legislation. 📌 Subscribe for weekly Bitcoin-only education and live commentary: https://www.youtube.com/@BTCSessions 🐦 Follow on X for real-time takes: https://x.com/BTCSessions 📬 Join the newsletter for the best Bitcoin reads of the week: https://btcsessions.ca #Bitcoin #BTC #BTCSessions #BitcoinTax #BitcoinSelfCustody #FederalReserve #CanadaSurveillance #BitcoinNews ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔔 Hit the bell so you never miss a live show. 👍 Like this video if you think more people need to hear this. 💬 Drop your questions in the chat — we read them live. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FOLLOW BTC Sessions on X: x.com/BTCsessions ——————————— SHOW SPONSORS: BITCOIN WELL BUY BITCOIN https://qrco.de/bfiDC6 COINKITE/COLDCARD (5% discount): https://store.coinkite.com/promo/BTCSessions ABUNDANT MINES: https://qrco.de/bgYKPB HORIZON https://joinhorizon.com/?ref=BTCSESSIONS NUNCHUK HONEYBADGER INHERITANCE https://qrco.de/bfiDAR HODLHODL NO KYC P2P EXCHANGE https://hodlhodl.com/join/BTCSESSION DEBIFI LOANS https://qrco.de/bfiDCp
