OPERATION CHOKEPOINT 3.0: WHY THEY'RE ATTACKING SACKS, SAYLOR & TETHER For the past six weeks, Bitcoin’s price has been pummelled. Alongside that beating, we have been witnessing a coordinated, full-spectrum assault on some of the most influential pro-Bitcoin voices in America. We are talking David Sacks, Tether, Jack Mallers and Michael Saylor all taking major hits at the same time. Welcome to Operation Chokepoint 3.0. The bankers have declared Total War on Bitcoin. Let’s look at the battlefield. First, they came for the infrastructure. Jack Mallers, CEO of Strike, has his accounts at JPMorgan Chase shut down after calling Jamie Dimon Jeffrey Epstein’s banker. No real explanation was given, despite an executive order from Trump that explicitly prohibits this type of debanking. Next, they target the liquidity. Tether, the lifeblood of global crypto markets, was downgraded by S&P to a stability score of “weak,” claiming they are undercollateralized. Even Arthur Hayes has started throwing shade, saying a 30% drop in Bitcoin would wipe out their equity. But Paolo Ardoino fires back with the receipts: Tether has $30B more dollars in total assets than total liabilities. In a system full of insolvent fractional reserve banks, Tether is the only overcapitalized player. Then they pivot to politics. The New York Times drops a sprawling hit piece on David Sacks, the so-called Crypto Czar. They spent five months trying to manufacture a conflict of interest story. When they found nothing, they published a nothing-burger anyway. Why? To weaken the pro-Bitcoin voice inside the White House. And finally, they come for Gigachad himself, Michael Saylor. You have seen the Ponzi accusations flying around X. They want you to believe MicroStrategy is one dip to $74K away from liquidation. So let’s be clear. There are no margin calls. Saylor’s debt is fixed, long term and unshakeable. So you have to ask yourself: why now? Why is the FUD dial turned to eleven? The answer is simple. The legacy financial system has witnessed the legitimization of Bitcoin and they are scared. This is the monetary war we have been warning you about. The Trump administration is preparing to weaponize the Bitcoin and stablecoin flywheel to break the monopoly the banks have held over the money supply for a century. New bills like the GENIUS Act and the CLARITY Act threaten to shift money creation away from the Fed and the big banks and toward a more decentralized network. The banks are staring down the barrel of increased irrelevance as they lose control of the money printer. Vijay Boyapati called it. He said to expect maximum FUD right before the clean break upward because max FUD usually marks the bottom. They are trying to shake you out. They are trying to humiliate the loudest voices pushing Bitcoin forward. They are fighting for their lives because for the first time in a hundred years, people are beginning to believe there is another way to run this system.
