Simon Dixon

Career

Simon Dixon is a geopolitical and financial analyst. Dixon says he has 25 years of experience in finance and investment banking. He says he sold his business and tries to live by what he teaches about building sovereign communities. [1]

Analytical approach

Dixon says he looks at the world differently from the average geopolitical analyst and sees it in terms of capital flows. He says he analyses countries by their sovereignty and their leverage over transnational capital. He describes the world as run by transnational capital and the Financial Industrial Complex, and describes the power structure as the financial, technical and military industrial complexes. [1]

He says he does not treat media as truth and asks who wants people to believe a message. Dixon says he is not advocating for anything and is describing what he thinks is happening. He also says he knows that much of what he covers is controversial. [1]

Views on money and markets

Dixon says the Dutch empire created the concept of transnational capital. He says that from 1971 no one could convert Federal Reserve notes into gold, after the Nixon shock. He describes the currency as a Ponzi scheme where the debt has to roll over, says the economy is in what he calls fiscal dominance, and says crisis is built into the Fed's program. [1]

He says US debt is 125% of GDP. He says he believes there will be a major market correction at some stage, and that AI will still change the world. [1]

On Bitcoin, Dixon says the promise is money that owners hold in self-custody with no bank. He says 75% of Bitcoin is still held in self-custody and that Bitcoin does exactly what it was designed to do. He also says Iran still holds its Bitcoin. [1]

Views on geopolitics

Dixon says the US empire is shrinking. He predicts the Gulf states will stop investing in America, and that the GCC will fund the rebuilding of Lebanon and Gaza. He says he thinks the deal will hold. [1]

He predicts a defense pact between Turkey, Pakistan and Egypt, funded by Saudi Arabia, and says Pakistan will be essential to regional defense agreements and regional stability. Dixon predicts Israel will be weakened. He says a one-state outcome or an Arab majority in Israel may come within five years. [1]

Online presence

Dixon says he covers the past week's events in a session of two to four hours every Friday. He says his YouTube channel is called Simon Dixon 21 and that he gives real-time updates on X. His X handle is @SimonDixonTwitt. He says he has created a hub at simondixon.com. [1]
