Ex-Wall Street Hedge Fund Manager Reveals His 2026 Bitcoin and AI Playbook

Wall Street veteran turned Bitcoiner and AI entrepreneur Matt McDonagh sits down with Rob Wallace to deliver an unfiltered conversation on Bitcoin’s role in individual sovereignty, the rise of decentralized AI, and how the future of money is being shaped right now in 2025.

From the collapse of fiat legitimacy to the rise of decentralized systems, Matt breaks down the macro forces reshaping global wealth. He explains how Bitcoin represents personal sovereignty, how AI empowers individual intelligence, and why the world is being divided not by politics—but by centralization vs. decentralization.

Explore how Bitcoin is going through a silent IPO, how AI will power single-person billion-dollar businesses, and why air-gapped AI and digital self-sovereignty may be the greatest defense we have in an increasingly manipulated world.

Topics Covered:
• Why Bitcoin is pivotal in the fight for personal sovereignty
• How fiat is enriching the elite and draining the middle class
• The silent Bitcoin IPO: OGs selling, institutions buying
• Decentralization vs Centralization: the real war
• Why UBI is just a cover for deeper economic control
• Bitcoin vs Stablecoins: What’s the endgame?
• Owning AI, not being owned by it: The case for air-gapped AI
• How to build wealth in a post-fiat world using Bitcoin & options
• The future of work: Single-person billion-dollar companies powered by AI
• 2040 predictions: AI, robots, and a Bitcoin-backed global economy
