with Whitney Webb and Mark Goodwin Interview
“The bitcoin-dollar system, akin to the petro-dollar system, is explicitly being built … in terms of custodial solutions, dollar-denominated on/off ramps perpetuating the US Treasury market, and the on-shoring of bitcoin within the US regulatory system.”
~ Mark Goodwin and Whitney Webb, “The Chain of Custody”
By Catherine Austin Fitts
The Bitcoin 2024 conference included speeches by two presidential candidates, President Trump and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., both promising significant changes to federal policies related to Bitcoin and private crypto. Whitney Webb and her co-author Mark Goodwin wrote an overview of Trump’s speech, and I published questions for Kennedy about his more radical proposals. As the candidates seek to win the support of the Bitcoin billionaires and market, one theme that has emerged is the growing role of stablecoins (cryptocurrencies whose value is pegged, in this instance, to the U.S. dollar) to build new markets for U.S. Treasury bonds and to support dollar hegemony.
As the world struggles with the dangers of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) and financial control by the banks, it also struggles with how private currencies can make us free as opposed to creating an even more dangerous form of private financial transaction control. Webb and Goodwin explore these questions and more in their new investigative series on “The Chain of Issuance” and “The Chain of Custody,” including connecting the dots with the networks that Webb explored in her two-volume blockbuster on the Epstein money-laundering networks, One Nation Under Blackmail. This week, Webb and Goodwin join me on the Solari Report to discuss the fast-moving developments in the world of digital money.
