Simon Dixon has always considered himself a finance geek—obsessed with banking, monetary reform and geo-financial analysis that shape our world. After building a career as an insider in investment banking—as a stockbroker, market maker, and corporate finance banker—he developed a rare understanding of how the financial system really works. But when his father lost everything in the dot-com bust, Simon left his lucrative career behind to become a monetary reformer, determined not just to expose the flaws of finance but to fix them.

That mission led him to Bitcoin when it was just $3—a moment that changed everything. Unlike most early adopters who were tech enthusiasts, Simon came from finance, and he decoded what Satoshi left behind: Bitcoin was not just money, but the tool that could end the corrupt financial system, dismantle the Federal Reserve, and strip power from those who abuse it. He saw how politicians and regulators would deliberately co-opt innovation to maintain control—something he experienced first-hand when his attempts to reform the UK banking system were blocked.

With that foresight, Simon gained financial freedom through Bitcoin and became one of the earliest investors in the industry’s biggest names—including Coinbase, Kraken, BitPay, Bitfinex, Blockchain.com, Circle and Robinhood. He is also the author of *Bank to the Future* (2012), the world’s first published book to ever discuss Bitcoin.

Recognized by Robert Kiyosaki as “the first guy to ever talk about Bitcoin,” praised by Richard Branson for his investment platform BnkToTheFuture.com, and called by Max Keiser “the No.1 Bitcoin investment banker ever,” Simon has long been ahead of his time. Through BnkToTheFuture, he has facilitated over $2.5 billion of investments into companies that shaped the Bitcoin ecosystem.

He has helped thousands become Bitcoin millionaires and billionaires—and now seeks to help millions more protect themselves, their families, and their nations from an AI-driven jobless future and the oppressive control of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs)—with Bitcoin as the tool for freedom and protection.

Simon is widely recognized not only for his pioneering role in Bitcoin but also for his expertise in geo-financial analysis, money, and investing. His ability to connect Bitcoin, macroeconomics, and global financial power shifts has allowed him to anticipate trends and events years before they unfold—making him the person many influencers and analysts quietly study.

Through his weekly show BitcoinHardTalk (100k+ YouTube subscribers, 200k+ followers on X), Simon helps people follow the money, self-custody their Bitcoin, and resist an oppressive financial system whose time is running out.
