The Bitcoin Coup: How Crypto Accelerationists Engineered America's Financial Collapse

Posted without comment (except at the end)

FWIW, I'm ready to join the "impeach Vance" movement. He'll cross some line. It's quite the rage.

JD Vance and the Tech Oligarchs Who Want to Burn Down the Dollar
MIKE BROCK
JUL 23, 2025

There are conspiracies that sound too outrageous to believe, and then there are conspiracies so brazen that they hide in plain sight, documented in government filings and boasted about on podcasts. What I’m about to expose falls into the latter category: a systematic effort by some of America’s most powerful tech billionaires to accelerate the collapse of the American financial system because they believe they’ll profit from the chaos that follows.

This isn’t speculation. This isn’t connecting dots that don’t exist. This is based on direct conversations with people inside this movement, people who have explicitly told me that they view the destruction of the dollar as both inevitable and desirable, who see the suffering of ordinary Americans during financial collapse as an acceptable cost for achieving their vision of a Bitcoin-dominated economy, who have positioned JD Vance as their primary vehicle for implementing policies they know will undermine American monetary stability.

To understand how we reached this moment—where crypto accelerationists are actively working to engineer dollar collapse from within the highest levels of government—we need to trace the intellectual evolution I documented in ”The Plot Against America.” What began as abstract criticism of democratic institutions during the 2008 financial crisis has become a concrete blueprint for dismantling them through cryptocurrency-enabled financial sabotage.

The Philosophical Foundation
Peter Thiel’s own public statements reveal the framework driving this project. Speaking at Libertopia in 2010, he described PayPal’s founding vision as an attempt “to overturn the monetary system of the world.” He continued: “We could never win an election,” but technology could “unilaterally change the world.” In 2021, he declared that “Bitcoin is the most honest market we have in the country. It’s a canary in the coal mine. It tells us that this decrepit regime is about to blow up.”

Trump is toast. DOJ et. al. will be caught shredding evidence and replacing it with AI shit.

Murdoch, Putin and Musk have a new "chosen one" They choose not to go down with the Trumptanic.

Sometimes, I use the name because it's the best known example.

The point is to overthrow the currency system with "their own"

Just as PayPal was an early stab at doing so.
All monsters as principals or early participants except for Reid Hoffman, who supports liberals and liberal causes. (He created LinkedIn)

I'm trying to wrap my head around how to hedge against what's coming.
The retirement of the Fed member seems to be a step. Then the jobs
numbers being revised down so much. Really seems like they want to
break the economy. What to do about the dollar becoming losing its
hegemony and value. The mainstream financial pundits don't seem
very worried. Once Vance is in place things could happen quickly.
