![TFTC - Why The US Government is Suppressing Bitcoin Before The Everything Bubble Pops | Vince Lanci](https://www.tftc.io/content/images/2025/10/Vince-Lanci.jpg)

Vince Lanci explains how the U.S. government is suppressing Bitcoin’s price through financialization, the same mechanism once used to control gold. By creating deep derivatives markets, institutions shift liquidity and price discovery from spot markets to futures, allowing them to suppress prices with “paper” supply. This mirrors the London Gold Pool strategy post-1971. Lanci argues the U.S. now controls Bitcoin’s liquidity through ETFs and custodial structures, effectively “co-opting” it rather than banning it. Meanwhile, China and the BRICS nations are building a parallel gold-backed system, transforming gold into a high-quality liquid asset (HQLA) for project financing and de-dollarization. Both blocs are repatriating gold as collateral in a global “cabal squabble,” while the U.S. weakens its own dollar through monetized debt and inflationary policy. Trump’s “accelerationism,” energy diplomacy, and tariff maneuvers are part of a race to re-industrialize before the next crisis. Lanci warns this cycle resembles the 1970s: inflationary headwinds, rate cuts into a bubble, and an inevitable recession that resets global collateral trust, where Bitcoin may eventually rise as digital sound money once fiat and gold systems clash.

Best Quotes
-----------

“When the futures price becomes more important than the spot price, you can influence the market lower by just selling paper.”

“You don’t announce you’re going to create an SPR for Bitcoin. You just buy.”

“China’s building a network of vaults so every country can have its gold close enough to see, it’s about trust.”

“Gold will be carried on everyone’s balance sheet according to a moving average, not the daily price. That’s how they’re stabilizing it.”

“The U.S. is emptying London of its gold, it’s a crisis of collateral.”

“If you can’t kill Bitcoin, you co-opt it. ETFs pull all liquidity to U.S. custody.”

“The ETF is a China closet for Bitcoin, a store of value that doesn’t circulate.”

“The state does two things: it kills people, and it prints money. It won’t give up either.”

“Bitcoin will survive because it’s indestructible, it just needs time and opportunity.”

“Gold bugs and Bitcoiners are fighting the same battle. One raised the other.”

Conclusion
----------

Lanci sees the coming years as a geopolitical and monetary collision between two systems: the U.S. dollar empire trying to maintain dominance through controlled liquidity, and the BRICS bloc using gold to rebase global credit. Bitcoin sits in the middle, suppressed but slowly integrating as a parallel network of trust and settlement. Its survival, like gold’s, depends on usage and decentralization beyond ETFs. Over time, the same inflation and debt that erode fiat systems will drive adoption of harder assets. Lanci’s warning is clear: the “everything bubble” will end not with a soft landing, but with a crisis of collateral, and Bitcoin, if allowed to circulate freely, may emerge as the digital resolution.

Transcript

(00:00) the futures price becomes more important than the spot price. Then you can influence the market lower by just selling paper. We're kind of in a bubble right now. Are you telling me we're not going to have a recession for the next 15 years? We have to have a recession with inflationary headwinds.
(00:12) You can't lower rates without causing a bubble. We can't pay off our debt. So, we're printing money. We're weakening the dollar intentionally. I'll start to say crash if I see a day where every country can have their gold close enough to see to visit. The US is now emptying London of its gold. It's a crisis of collateral.
(00:28) You need to have the collateral there. You need to say this is my goal. Trump's an accelerationist. Whether he's good or bad, I don't care. We're going to get to where we have to get faster because of him. Trump and gold. That's your Scott Bessent thing. And that's where Bitcoin comes in.
(00:39) You don't announce you're going to create an SPR or for Bitcoin. You just buy. Japan used to go like this. All right. We're not buying enough stuff from the US. What are we going to buy? Cars? No. Let's buy some gold. It's a it's a money laundering operation. There are smart people like Scottas who know what's going on and know the endgame.
(00:51) This is best. We need cheap energy. We need a weak dollar and we need to build stuff. I see the energy getting cheaper. I know Trump's cutting deals with Saudis. Vince, I think this was the uh the most enlightening pre-record conversation I've had. We should record that \[ \_\_ \] for your for your premium people, right? We should have.
(01:16) We should have. I you know, I do that when I'm with Tom Lango. We hit the tape before we hit the tape. I hit the tape on my phone. I go, "Let's go." We argue about something like music or some booer \[ \_\_ \] you know. All right. Tom is Tom is one of my favorite crazy uncles, recurring crazy uncles on the show. He's totally He's totally Yeah. Yeah. We We definitely We definitely um riff off of each other from different angles.
(01:36) I look at it from finances and I try and explain the world. He tries to explain the world from ideology and together it's like we're both right or we're both just, you know, lying to each other. Who knows? All right. So, I'm with you. Do you do you pick up uh what he's putting down in terms that uh England still controls the world? the crowns of the world.
(02:00) The the the he needs a focal point and that focal point, this is not going to be a negative statement. He seems to focus on a focal point and then he sees the tentacles coming out. I don't see the focal point. It may not be the king of England or the crown. Remember, you know, two years ago it was Davos and WF and the Biden junza.
(02:21) That was his that was his expression. And now he's gravitated towards the crown. I'm like, you know what? I mean, when you look at things through the lens that I study and analyze things, which is like him. Um, and that is all you do is you find out who benefits and who suffers and you just keep and you just keep eliminating people until you find out the one guy who's there.
(02:43) And I don't know that it's the crown per se, but there's definitely a one thing that he said that's really true is that Europe in general is a plantation. Long time ago, he was talking about this way. Europe's a plantation. They've, you know, feudalism and the people that are in power want to stay in power and the Europeans are still colonizing.
(03:06) They're still trying to protect their colonies. And I guess if you want to put a focal point on it, you can call it the crown. You can call it the people that operate the crown. I I think I think I know from a friend of mine who's in uh who's a banking executive here that there's an ideological split and it's everywhere.
(03:26) And the ideological split is the the uh European old money. I mean, they don't have anything there. I mean, I'm not ne I'm not anti- Europe like he is. Uh but you know they're doubling down on s say ideology or wokeness and Germany's got no manufacturing anymore. No no I I I I agree with him like I it's it's probably not that in six months you and I will talk about this again and he will say well I know who's pulling the strings of the crown now.
(03:58) You know he just keeps going up the ladder right? He was like I hate but I mean I hate Biden because of this and I'm like yeah you're right. He goes, and then he then I will look at Europe and and and England in terms of trade. I'll say, 'Well, this is what's going on here. That doesn't make sense. Italy's getting screwed, yada yada yada. And then I'll say, well, that's because the ideology is driving all the policy.
(04:15) Like, I will say the ideology influences policy. Mhm. Cuz I still I still believe that people can at least be semi-rational. He, you know, he's kind of dragging me that way, but he's like, "No, no, ideology determines everything with these people." And it's it's sad, pathetic, but it's true. Like, I'm looking at things differently now.
(04:40) Like, for example, domestically, Camala Harris, right? I don't care about the politics. I'm not a political person. Well, I I I identify her as what you would call a third generation feminist. So there's there's there's, you know, real feminists, then there's the their children, and then there's a third generation. Why are you feminist? Because my mom was. Camala is third generation.
(04:59) I'm like, well, where did she get this training? And I found out yesterday. Camala Har I'm listening to like the D Kennedys, which is like um uh they have a song called Are you familiar with the band? Yep. All right. So, California Uber, right? It's about Jerry Brown, you know, the hippie who wanted to run for president when Reagan won.
(05:18) And uh and and and I'm reading the lyrics and I'm like, "Yeah, this is pretty funny. It's really cool." And then, you know, I'm Where's Jerry Brown now? Boom. I did one of those things on Chat GPT. And uh Camala Harris has came up and his name came up in his bio. She was attorney general for California for seven years under him. And I'm like, "Oh, that's where you got it." And they just gone off the deep end, those people. Anyway, all right, cool.
(05:42) Um so I agree with Tom on a lot of things. And when I disagree, I let him know. And it's usually minor stuff. Uh

**_The UK’s central bank may ease restrictions on corporate stablecoin reserves following industry pushback._**
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[According](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-10-07/boe-plans-carveouts-on-stablecoin-cap-after-industry-backlash?srnd=phx-crypto) to _Bloomberg_, the **Bank of England** (BoE) is reconsidering its stance on the proposed limits for corporate **stablecoin** reserves and is exploring possible exemptions for companies that need to hold larger amounts of fiat-backed digital assets.

### **Reversal after industry pressure**

The BoE’s change of heart comes after strong criticism from the crypto industry and growing international competition. The **United States Congress** in particular has moved forward with clearer regulation through the **GENIUS Act**, which became law last July.

Initially, the Bank of England had proposed caps of **£20,000** (about $27,000) **for individuals** and **£10 million for companies**.

The stated goals were threefold: maintaining control over the money supply, protecting consumers, and preventing excessive reliance on privately issued digital currencies. While these limits might work for traditional businesses, crypto-native companies argue that such restrictions would severely constrain their operations.

These firms need to hold substantial stablecoin reserves to manage trading and liquidity. For this reason, the BoE is considering granting specific exemptions for such entities.

### **Governor Bailey’s change in tone**

BoE Governor **Andrew Bailey** had previously warned about the risks privately issued stablecoins could pose to financial stability and governments’ ability to conduct effective monetary policy.

However, in statements made last week, Bailey struck a more conciliatory tone, acknowledging that stablecoins could represent a useful innovation capable of coexisting within the broader financial system.

![TFTC - Whitney Webb Exposes Hidden Secrets About Epstein, Digital IDs & Transhumanism Plot | Mark Goodwin](https://www.tftc.io/content/images/2025/09/Whitney-Webb.jpg)

Whitney Webb and Mark Goodwin reveal how Epstein-linked ventures, predictive policing firms like Palantir, and digital ID mandates are converging into a global surveillance-financial control grid. From Vietnam’s mass biometric debanking to the U.S. Genius Act’s quiet push for digital ID, governments are exploiting crises to centralize power, censor dissent, and restrict financial freedom. This is part of a broader transhumanist agenda championed by elites like Peter Thiel and Curtis Yarvin, who envision a techno-feudal order. Yet resistance is possible through Bitcoin, Nostr, open-source AI, local self-reliance, and community resilience.

Best Quotes
-----------

“Carbine 911 was financed heavily by Jeffrey Epstein… now they’ve slowly taken over the 911 call systems of counties across the United States.”

“In the U.S., it looks like it’s going to slide in with the Genius Act, framed as an essential pillar to financial regulation.”

“Vietnam closed 84 million bank accounts, telling people they could be rebanked if they agreed to biometric ID.”

“They capitalize on real tragedies to justify bigger budgets, more control, and removal of liberties, it’s the same strategy of tension used for decades.”

“Their goal is a humane alternative to genocide: virtualizing the unproductive into pods with immersive VR… a rich, fulfilling life in a completely imaginary world.”

“Digital ID won’t work unless everybody complies. We need to normalize pushing back as much as possible.”

“The end result of cryptocurrency might literally be the U.S. Treasury running the entire financial system if people don’t fight back.”

“Go meet your neighbor, start a garden, raise chickens. Local resilience is how we resist being herded into digital corrals.”

Conclusion
----------

The episode warns that crises, whether mass shootings, terrorism, or financial shocks, are being used to justify an expanding technocratic state, threatening privacy, sovereignty, and freedom. But the antidote lies in building parallel systems: decentralized tools like Bitcoin and Nostr, independent media, and local networks of trust and resilience. The battle is between compliance with digital serfdom or proactive steps toward sovereignty.

(00:00) He said, quote, "Our goal, in short, is a humane alternative to genocide, the removal of undesirable elements from society, but without any of the moral stigma. A virtualized human is in permanent solitary confinement. The cell contains an immersive virtual reality interface that allows him to experience a rich, fulfilling life in a completely imaginary world.
(00:25) " In 2019 specifically, they really started selling themselves as preventing mass shootings before they happened. Carbine 911 was financed heavily by Jeffrey Epste. Now, they've slowly taken over the 911 call systems of a litany of counties across the United States. Palanteer was specifically really created to be a pre-rime entity. When people like that say they're not spying on Americans, it's kind of hard to trust them.
(00:44) Kirsty is pushing through digital ID to stop illegal immigration, but it seems like in the US they're actually instead of sneaking it through border stuff, it's going to slide in with the Genius Act. the definition of how the government defines domestic terrorism. It includes people really on both sides of the divide.
(01:02) People that are against perceived government overreach, for example, they use whichever group is convenient to pander to their base to justify us giving up liberty for perceived security. A few of the platforms left where people can kind of have a somewhat of a public square, they're actually a centralized choke point. They're actually picking and choosing companies that have a less chance of being independent.
(01:19) The so-called libertarian elites behind people like JD Vance are very overtly transhumanist and think that the only way forward is to basically merge with machines. They are playing us against ourselves and some of them play the role of we're elites on this side and we're elites on the other side to help engineer the divide and conquer necessary to hurt us into this cattle pin.
(01:43) Guys, it's been 10 and 1/2 months since we since we last caught up. That's a long time. Jeez. A lot of time was we recorded uh I believe November 10th, 2025, which was 2 days after the election. We talked about Palunteer Mafia coming in. And when I was thinking about how to start this conversation, I'm sure you guys saw it, but Alex Karp at the All-In Summit very confidently letting the people of the United States know that Palunteer is not spying on individual Americans.
(02:14) At first I was like, "Oh man, maybe I've really misunderstood Palanteer." And then I was like, "Wait a second." Like, "How how is that possible?" Yeah. Do you remember when like James Clapper lied about how they were uh spying on Americans under oath and didn't get in trouble for it? Mhm. Yeah. I think when people like that say they're not spying on Americans, it's kind of hard to trust them given a lot of the precedents, you know. Yeah. James Clapper, NSA.
(02:43) The NSA is not going to work with Palanteer, though. They can't get the contracts. They don't spy enough. That's what was told. Well, um, pretty sure the contract for all 18 US intelligence agencies. Yeah. Well, I guess a year into the Trump admin, the the last episode we did was like what to expect the next four years.
(03:04) Um, and I think the crux of that conversation revolved around sort of financial stable coin implementation. And I think it's pretty clear that that was a very strong priority this administration. They passed the Genius Act rather quickly. Obviously, we're talking about the PayPal Palunteer Mafia getting more ingrained in the surveillance state here. That seems to be happening.
(03:29) Um, and I think one thing we highlighted was with the immigration policy, watch out for the border. digital IDs are probably um the borders where they're gonna basically Trojan horse digital IDs in. And so yeah, it I mean that's still possible. I think that's definitely what's happening in the UK though.
(03:50) So Kier Starmer is pushing through digital ID to stop illegal immigration, which um you know, previously the Labor Party in the UK was pushing it. You know, this is we're going to stop hate speech and stop online bullying. Um, but it seems like in the US they're actually instead of sneaking it through border stuff and on on those same, you know, um, justifications that the UK government is using, it looks like it's going to slide in with the Genius Act.
(04:14) Um, considering what they've, uh, some of the stuff they've put out asking for comment on uh, after its passage, sort of framing digital ID is an essential pillar to the implementation of um, of the Genius Act. So, so somebody somebody who uh prized himself on being on the cutting edge of all this, I was unaware that digital ID was tied into this. I I assume some KYC AML stuff, but didn't realize.
(04:38) Yeah, it's not it's not directly like there's nothing in the Genius Act specifically talking about digital ID. There's obviously a lot about know your customer and bank secrecy act stuff and and what have you, but I think the the bigger well well so as it relates to the Genius Act specifically, the Treasury did open up, you know, asking for comments and within that, you know, proposition asking for for public comment.
(05:04) they did bring up digital ID and um you know I think people like Lola Leites at the Rage has been covering a lot of the the Genius Act implications for like you know basically using articles of the Patriot Act to push towards a lot of this stuff which is obviously not good but I think what's actually kind of interesting is not so much about the US yet although I think that's it's pretty inevitable that that will come at some point but we're actually seeing the downstream effects of the stable coin legislation passing in the US, other places in the world now, like in the UK, they're limiting how many dollar stable coins or attempting to limit how many dollar
(05:38) stable coins a UK citizen can hold. Um and then we're seeing, you know, mass debanking in Vietnam. You know, I think it was something like 70 something million bank accounts um were closed. Um you know, basically saying, you know, we'll we'll rebank you if you agree to this biometric stuff and uh you know, basically implemented digital ID.
(06:07) Um, and I think the reason for that is, you know, when there's a proliferation of US dollar stable coins across the world and, you know, now there's even avenues for yield to be given to those stable coins, which we're going to see right at some point. Um, you know, why would any foreign national hold anything other than, you know, dollars? Hopefully, you know, Bitcoin if if if you're into that.
(06:31) Um, but why would you hold a local currency when you can hold dollars, get yield from it, and all you need to do to get to it is have, you know, a smartphone. So, I think countries around the world, the euro, you know, the ECB is now putting out comments being like, we're screwed if we let the dollar stable coins take over cuz why would

### Digital ID Implementation Will Accelerate Globally as Countries Fight Dollar Stablecoin Capital Flight - Whitney Webb & Mark Goodwin

![This Week's Top Predictions](https://www.tftc.io/content/images/2025/09/terribletrader_digital_ID_surveillance_state_CBDC_dystopian_c_459a326e-a00c-4590-9b1b-d593e6370bea_3.png)

Webb and Goodwin predict that within the next 12-24 months, we'll see a dramatic acceleration in digital ID implementation worldwide - not primarily in the US first, but in countries desperately trying to prevent capital flight to dollar stablecoins. They point to Vietnam's recent closure of 84 million bank accounts as the canary in the coal mine, with citizens only able to regain banking access by submitting to biometric verification. The mechanism is clear: as dollar stablecoins proliferate globally and offer yield, why would anyone hold depreciating local currencies? Webb notes that the ECB is already panicking about this dynamic, stating "we're screwed if we let dollar stablecoins take over." The prediction is that countries will implement increasingly draconian digital ID requirements to maintain control over their monetary systems, using the Genius Act's passage in the US as political cover. This creates a paradox where US dollar dominance actually accelerates surveillance infrastructure globally.

### Pre-Crime AI Surveillance Will Become Normalized Following Manufactured Crisis Events - Whitney Webb & Mark Goodwin

The most chilling prediction centers on the normalization of pre-crime surveillance infrastructure within the next 2-3 years. Webb traces how every administration since 9/11 has expanded domestic terror frameworks, and predicts that recent events will be used to justify AI-powered predictive policing at scale. The infrastructure already exists: Palantir's pre-crime algorithms, social media monitoring systems, and William Barr's 2019 legalization of pre-crime arrests. Webb predicts we'll see a major "galvanizing event" that will reduce public resistance to having AI scan all social media posts for "early neuropsychiatric warning signs." The mechanism already exists through companies like Carbine (funded by Jeffrey Epstein) that have quietly taken over 911 systems across America. Once normalized, Webb warns this will extend beyond security into employment: "What happens when it's like, well, if you want to work and have a job and not just have UBI, you need a brain chip?" The timeline accelerates as Palantir's integration with government systems deepens under the current administration.

### Bitcoin Treasury Companies Will See 100x Growth in Fixed Income Adoption Within 10 Years - Jeff Walton

Jeff Walton laid out a compelling case for why Bitcoin-backed securities will completely disrupt the $300 trillion fixed income market over the next decade. He predicts that within 10 years, we'll see a 100-fold increase in the adoption of perpetual preferred equities and other Bitcoin-backed credit instruments. The math is straightforward: these instruments offer 9.5-10% yields while being 8x overcollateralized with Bitcoin, compared to traditional junk bonds offering 7% with far greater risk. As Walton explained, "Capital will move to where it's treated best," and fixed income managers who fail to adopt these instruments will see their clients flee to competitors offering 150+ basis points of additional return with less risk. The key catalyst will be insurance companies and pension funds recognizing that digital risk (Bitcoin volatility) is fundamentally safer than physical risk (corporate bankruptcy, natural disasters). Once credit rating agencies begin rating these instruments, the floodgates will open as institutional mandates allow allocation to rated securities.

Luke Dashjr's Nuclear Option: Bitcoin Developer Proposes Controversial Transaction Censorship System
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bitcoin Core contributor Luke Dashjr is developing a mechanism to retroactively remove illegal content from Bitcoin's blockchain using Zero Knowledge Proofs, according to leaked messages reported by The Rage. The proposal would create a multi-sig council with power to delete confirmed transactions containing Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) approximately one hour after confirmation.

While Dashjr claims this would "save Bitcoin," his scheme represents an unprecedented censorship capability that could extend far beyond its stated purpose. The developer, who already runs the censorship-focused OCEAN mining pool and Bitcoin Knots implementation, admits this constitutes "technically a hardfork" – though likely affecting only Knots nodes initially.

Critical details remain murky: Who selects council members? How are ZK proofs managed? What prevents mission creep to other transaction types? Most concerning, Dashjr allegedly mentioned coordinating legal letters to pressure the industry into adopting anti-CSAM measures – essentially manufacturing the crisis his solution would address.

Blockstream CEO Adam Back confirmed OCEAN has contacted rival mining pools about this initiative. The Bitcoin community's response has been overwhelmingly negative, recognizing this as a dangerous precedent that hands governments a ready-made censorship tool while solving a problem that barely exists on Bitcoin's blockchain.

tags: Bitcoin Magazine Bitcoin-Miner Canaan ($CAN) to Turn Flared Gas Into Computing Power in Canada In a move that blends energy innovation with digital infrastructure, Canaan Inc. announced the launch of a pilot project in Calgary, Alberta, designed to turn stranded or flared natural gas into power for Bitcoin mining and high-performance computing. The initiative, developed in partnership with Aurora AZ Energy, marks a step for Canaan as it explores how waste gas — often burned off at remote wells — can instead fuel computing power directly at the source. The pilot will install over $2 million worth of Avalon A15 Pro miners and modular data centers at wellheads, delivering roughly 2.5 megawatts of computing capacity with a guaranteed 90% uptime.

In a move that blends energy innovation with digital infrastructure, Canaan Inc. announced the launch of a pilot project in Calgary, Alberta, designed to turn stranded or flared natural gas into power for Bitcoin mining and high-performance computing.

The initiative, developed in partnership with Aurora AZ Energy, [marks a step](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/canaan-inc-launches-innovative-gas-to-computing-pilot-in-canada-with-energy-infrastructure-developer-302582055.html) for Canaan as it explores how waste gas — often burned off at remote wells — can instead fuel computing power directly at the source.

The pilot will install over $2 million worth of Avalon A15 Pro miners and modular data centers at wellheads, delivering roughly 2.5 megawatts of computing capacity with a guaranteed 90% uptime.

Canaan’s stock started in the green and is currently up 22% on the news to $1.33 per share.

At its core, this “gas-to-compute” system is an [experiment in efficiency](https://bitcoinmagazine.com/business/creator-of-the-bitcoin-asic-says-next-wave-of-mining-efficiency-is-coming-): using off-grid energy that would otherwise pollute to power one of the world’s most energy-hungry industries.

“This initiative represents a major step in demonstrating how computing infrastructure can evolve alongside energy innovation,” said Canaan CEO Nangeng Zhang. “By integrating localized natural gas generation with our modular systems, we’re transforming previously wasted resources into productive energy.”

From flared gas to Bitcoin mining and AI innovation

Flared gas — natural gas released and burned as a byproduct of oil extraction — remains a significant environmental challenge, especially in energy-rich regions like Alberta.

According to the Alberta Energy Regulator, more than 900 million cubic meters of gas were flared in 2024 alone.

tags: Ashigaru Whirlpool is a ZeroLink coinjoin implementation designed to sever all deterministic links between inputs and outputs, ensuring enhanced bitcoin transaction privacy.

content:
[Contribute to keep No Bullshit Bitcoin news going.](https://geyser.fund/project/nobsbitcoin)

*   The Ashigaru Open Source Project has released [Ashigaru Whirlpool](https://ashigaru.rs/news/announcement-whirlpool/), a version of Samourai Wallet’s Whirlpool, allowing users to join Zerolink coinjoins for enhanced Bitcoin transaction privacy.

> "This has been a huge undertaking and effort for the Ashigaru Open Source Project over the last 6 months, having to get familiar and comfortable with the extensive code base across multiple repositories. It is for this reason our development on Ashigaru mobile has been quieter and slower during this period, and for this we hope our users may now understand our justification as to why," was stated in a blog post.

*   Ashigaru Whirlpool retains the core coinjoin cycle design by Samourai’s TDevD, ZeroLeak, and OXT’s LaurentMT, with various protocol enhancements added by the Ashigaru Open Source Project.
*   Alongside the coordinator code, the [project has launched](https://ashigaru.rs/news/release-terminal-v1-0-0/) a desktop client terminal application (available on Linux, macOS, and Windows), forked from [Sparrow Terminal](https://www.nobsbitcoin.com/sparrow-wallet-v1-7-0/).

[![Ashigaru Whirlpool and Terminal v1.0.0 Released](https://www.nobsbitcoin.com/content/images/2025/06/image-6.png)](news/release-terminal-v1-0-0/)

Source: [Ashigaru blog.](https://ashigaru.rs/news/release-terminal-v1-0-0/)

*   Ashigaru Terminal is a non-custodial Whirlpool client that lets users join chosen pools, enhance their transaction anonymity, and retain full control of funds during coinjoin cycles, without needing a personal Dojo server.

![Ashigaru Whirlpool and Terminal v1.0.0 Released](https://www.nobsbitcoin.com/content/images/2025/06/ashigarupool.jpg)

**NOTE:** _The_ [_Ashigaru.rs_](https://ashigaru.rs/) _website is the official home of the Ashigaru Open Source Project. The project does not maintain a presence on social media, and all second-hand information should be verified against the content on the official website._

What's new
----------

*   **Tor-Only Implementation**: Ashigaru Whirlpool operates exclusively over Tor, preventing clearnet connections to protect against IP address linking and wallet clustering by malicious coordinators.
*   **Tor identity isolation** is built in to prevent coordinators from linking session IDs across coinjoin stages, ensuring user network anonymity.
*   **Enhanced decentralization strategy:** The Tor-only setup eliminates DNS dependency and hides coordinator locations, supporting rapid deployment of new instances.

> "Our coordinator has been further modularized by eliminating the dependency of RPC connections to a local full node. The coordinator can therefore be connected to any Dojo full node over Tor, enabling faster deployment and recovery, minimal hardware resource requirements, and greater jurisdictional flexibility."

*   **Anti-Sybil Measures**: An Anti-Sybil fee, fixed at 5% of pool size, is charged for Tx0 broadcasts to enter pools, with a cap of 20 UTXOs per Tx0 for added Sybil resistance.
*   **Vulnerability Fixes**: RSA keys for Chaumian blinding are not sent to clients, mitigating potential input-output linking risks and building trust as a new development team.
*   **Output Restrictions**: Multisig addresses are barred as mix-to outputs in coinjoin cycles to maintain anonymity and compatibility with post-mix tools like Ashigaru mobile and Sparrow.
*   **Code Improvements**: Numerous under-the-hood fixes and optimizations have been made to Samourai’s forked codebase, including updated dependencies, enhanced performance, and architectural adjustments.
*   **Ashigaru Terminal**: Forked from Sparrow, Ashigaru Terminal defaults to .onion Electrum servers for privacy, with options for private server connections via Tor or clearnet.
    *   Only native SegWit Whirlpool account paths are supported for hot wallets, with mandatory BIP39 passphrases; unsupported wallet types include Legacy, Wrapped SegWit, Taproot, and multisig scripts.
    *   Tx0 fee estimation targets next-block confirmation, advising users to wait for lower rates if block space competition is high.

> "Remote and automatic update of Tor URLs for connecting to both Ashigaru Whirlpool and for transaction broadcast using our “Hanzaki” feature will be coming in a future release," was stated in a blog post.

Quick guide
-----------

*   Check out this [quick overview](https://k3tan.com/ashigaru-whirlpool/) by _k3tan_ to learn how to use the new Ashigaru Terminal:

> "My advice is to take a measured approach to this. This is new software and there may still be bugs. Start small, get comfortable, then level up progressively. Don't expect mixes straight away. It's important to be patient. Randomness of time intervals between mixes plays a role in obfuscating chainalysis. You should find using the interface overall quite responsive," [writes](https://k3tan.com/ashigaru-whirlpool/) k3tan.

*   Ashigaru Terminal is optimized for use with Sparrow Wallet, Ashigaru Mobile, and Samourai Wallet. These wallets support Whirlpool's unique account derivation paths and include spending tools tailored to maintain privacy during transactions from the pool.

In 2018 Cash App enabled their users to easily buy and sell bitcoin within the popular consumer finance app. At the time this was a massive validation and endorsement for bitcoin when it was less than a decade old. Having the backing and buy-in from a mainstream fintech player like Block (Square, at the time) was a signal to the world that bitcoin is something to take seriously. Jack Dorsey and team sticking their necks out to recognize bitcoin as a legitimate value added product to their suite will be recognized as a pivotal point in bitcoin's history.

It's been more than seven years since Cash App launched buy/sell bitcoin and Block has launched:

*   Spiral - A non-profit organization dedicated to supporting open-source bitcoin development, with a heavy focus on the lightning network.
*   Bitkey - A hardware wallet that leverages multi-sig to create an easy was for bitcoin users to self-custody their bitcoin with some hand holding.
*   Proto - A mining company dedicated to bringing open mining hardware and management software to compete with incumbents like Bitmain and MicroBT. The Proto team launched the Rig in August; a modular bitcoin mining machine that comes with a sleek fleet management software system.

To say the least, Block really cares about pushing bitcoin forward and has backed that up with heavy investments in businesses that support different parts of the bitcoin market.

With all of that being said, the number one question Block has been asked since they unleashed bitcoin to Cash App users seven years ago is, "Wen bitcoin in Square terminals?!"

Well, as of today, the wait is officially over. Earlier this afternoon, Square announced that all of their merchants will immediately be able to convert a portion of their card sales to bitcoin, buy/sell/hold/withdraw bitcoin via their business portals and on November 10th they will also be able to accept bitcoin via Square terminals as well.

This. This right here is massive. As it stands today, Square supports over 4,000,000 merchants across the United States and every single one of them will be able to log into their Square business accounts tomorrow and decide to automatically convert a portion of their cash flow into bitcoin. If 10% of their US customer base enables this feature that will produce 400,000 new small, medium and large businesses that are using bitcoin as a treasury asset that enables them to help grow their businesses. Don't take it from me, take it from Glenn Charles, who has been part of Square's beta test of this product for the last two years.

![Square Enables Merchants To Easily Accumulate Bitcoin On Their Balance Sheets](https://www.tftc.io/content/images/2025/10/Screenshot-2025-10-08-at-10.07.04---PM.png)

via [Glenn Charles](https://x.com/GlennCharlesPh1/status/1976039946961158401?ref=tftc.io)

This is the type of "corporate" bitcoin adoption you love to see. Bitcoin is an asset that can help small businesses in ways that most people cannot even fathom. I know from experience, this small (but mighty) media company has benefited massively from our bitcoin treasury, our ability to accept bitcoin for payment and our ability to pay employees and contractors in bitcoin. Opening this up to 4,000,000 businesses overnight cannot be overstated. Most importantly because Square is making bitcoin a first-class citizen throughout the experience, where other payment processors and point-of-sale systems make it hard for their customers to integrate bitcoin throughout the business stack.

Once bitcoin payments are enabled in a little over a month merchants will be able to receive bitcoin and either convert it immediately to cash or hold it in bitcoin. Bitcoiners who live on a bitcoin standard will be able to spend their sats at many more merchants in meat space. THE bitcoin standard becomes more tangible.

via [OBJ](https://x.com/owenbjennings/status/1976035183767015909?ref=tftc.io)

The next thing to check off the list is getting a de minimis tax exemption for bitcoin payments. It looks like Jack is putting the pressure on.

![UK To Mandate Digital IDs For Adults](https://www.tftc.io/content/images/2025/09/Screenshot-2025-09-25-at-4.38.35---PM.png)

![UK To Mandate Digital IDs For Adults](https://www.tftc.io/content/images/2025/09/martybent_british_prime_minister_keir_starmer_winking_at_a_man__2fa9a662-bd58-4ede-9eaa-07f1e3606e3d.png)

We've been warning for the better part of a year to keep an eye on the conversation around immigration policy in the United States due to the fact that it is the perfect issue to Trojan Horse digital ID policy and thrust it on the masses. There is an obvious problem at the border, tens of millions of illegal immigrants flooded into the country between 2020-2024, and the Trump administration won last year's election by leading with immigration policy and has followed through on that promise. However, it is a great excuse to introduce a digital ID system in the United States.

"To ensure that illegal immigrants aren't taking the jobs of American citizens and leeching of the system without going through the process of getting a visa or becoming a citizen, everyone is going to be issued a digital ID tied to your social security number and some biometric data. You'll use this ID to get a job and do other things within the economy."

That's how it starts, but soon enough there are a number of public catastrophes that "require" a government response that requires a digital ID to access internet services, websites and social media platforms so that "nefarious individuals" can be easily tracked and apprehended before they commit crimes. If the efforts are successful and people welcome the digital ID with open arms or are forcibly pushed in against their will you end up in a completely dystopian system that has ultimate control over many parts of your life.

[![UK To Mandate Digital IDs For Adults](https://www.tftc.io/content/images/2025/09/Screenshot-2025-09-25-at-11.18.16---PM.png)](https://x.com/TFTC21/status/1970943293342310649?ref=tftc.io)

via [TFTC](https://x.com/TFTC21/status/1970943293342310649?ref=tftc.io)

Luckily for us, this hasn't happened in the United States and hopefully it never does. Though, the push for a Real ID for travel and the Treasury Department and FinCen pushing to expand the Patriot Act to include digital assets is a bit worrisome and prerequisites to a full on digital ID system. It will be important to stay vigilant and make sure things don't continue moving toward an even more burdensome surveillance state. Unfortunately for our friends across the pond in the United Kingdom, the era of digital IDs seems to be upon them.

Earlier today, it was announced by the British Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, that a digital ID system will be made law and it will be mandatory for every British adult to acquire one so that the British government can... "stop the boats" by using the IDs to "stop illegals from working". Not even trying to hide it. This couldn't be more painfully ironic if they tried because Starmer is the leader of the Labour party, which is responsible for the lax immigration policy that has been instituted in the UK for well over a decade. A classic move out of the problem-reaction-solution playbook that maniacal and despotic governments like to use on populaces they'd like to control. Create a massive problem by flooding a small island in the Atlantic with millions of immigrants, give them free benefits and let them run wild, put so much stress on social programs and the economy overall that people get pushed to the point where they hit the streets and begin to try to take matters into their own hands, begin passing speech laws that throw people in cages for questioning the government's policies and highlighting its effects, and then BOOM.

"We can't have you doing that, mate. After years of ignoring the problem we now recognize that it exists. To solve it we're going to need you to look into this orb so that we can tie your iris to your national insurance number. You'll need to use it with everything you do from shopping to creating an account on social media platforms. Don't worry. It's for your safety and the strength of the British economy."

Real shame, innit?

This is not a good day for the British, or humanity at large. The Five Eyes have a very tight bond and it isn't hard to imagine that the other four (the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand) are pressured to join the party so that their intelligence sharing is more streamlined. The UK could be the test bed.

Be aware, freaks.

### Bitcoin Is Creating a "Soft Landing" Through Market Forces

I brought up an interesting parallel during my conversation with Walton - the Biden administration and Fed talked endlessly about engineering a "soft landing" for the economy after COVID stimulus. But Jeff Walton sees something more profound happening: the free market is actually creating its own soft landing by replacing weak collateral with Bitcoin. Rather than relying on top-down monetary policy, companies are voluntarily recapitalizing the financial system with superior assets.

> "If Chevron had spent 25% of their $70 billion buyback on Bitcoin, the value today would be worth more than their market cap."- [Jeff Walton](https://x.com/PunterJeff?ref=tftc.io)

Jeff expanded on this, explaining how Bitcoin-backed instruments provide real stability and yield without depending on uncertain future cash flows. This bottom-up transformation represents true market innovation - not government intervention, but entrepreneurs building better financial infrastructure. The soft landing isn't coming from the Fed; it's coming from Bitcoin treasury companies creating superior products that naturally attract capital.
