Mentor Sessions Ep. 060: Senior Economist on Gold, Silver, Bitcoin, AI, Oil, and the Dollar Crisis Nobody Is Talking About | Prof Peter St Onge The dollar took its biggest hit in 50 years — and most people have no idea it happened. Professor Peter St. Onge (Heritage Foundation senior economist, Mises Institute fellow) breaks down exactly why freezing Russian central bank assets was a watershed moment for dollar dominance, what Fed panic over oil prices could do to the economy in 2026, and why Bitcoin is positioned to jump when the current geopolitical storm clears. This is the macro conversation you need to hear right now — no fluff, no hopium, just sharp analysis from one of the best macro minds following the intersection of money, geopolitics, and Bitcoin. You'll walk away understanding why the petrodollar is under real structural pressure, how AI is being weaponized as a narrative tool by global institutions, and what signals to watch for in markets as war, inflation, and dollar credibility collide. ⏱️ Timestamps: 0:00 – Intro 1:01 – Petrodollar Greeting & Gold/Bitcoin Performance 2:00 – Bitcoin as Hot Money (“Tourists”) 5:35 – Oil Prices Driving Fed Rate Expectations 11:10 – What Happens to Bitcoin When the War Ends 12:35 – Lasting War Effects & Petrodollar Question 13:24 – Is the Petrodollar Actually Dying? 15:08 – Bitcoin as a “Lifeboat” / Dollar Alternatives 18:26 – Freezing Russian Assets – Biggest Dollar Hit in 50 Years 21:31 – Housing Crisis & Mortgage Lock-In 24:53 – The Single Biggest Risk: Fed Panic on Oil Prices 29:54 – QE, Money Printing & Fed Toolkit 38:19 – Kevin Warsh & Hard-Money Outlook 47:42 – Petrodollar Road Signs & Dollar Strength 52:00 – Stablecoins vs Wall Street Banks 54:23 – The WEF’s AI Job Loss Narrative 58:00 – AI,…
