## Resource

Bitcoin opened June in the red, Strategy sold Bitcoin for the first time in years, and the banks vs crypto fight is heating up around the CLARITY Act. But underneath the noise, a deeper story is unfolding around custody, stablecoins, capital control, and the one form of money that still sits outside the permission layer: self-custodied Bitcoin.This episode of Truth Block breaks down Michael Saylor’s Strategy sale, Jamie Dimon’s fight with Coinbase, Scott Bessent’s wallet seizure comments, and why the real divide is not banks vs crypto.
