In this episode I give a short update on what’s been going on in the state of the crypto industry, and why myself and others might be burning out, just as crypto itself seems to be burning out. I also talk about how disappointed I am in the mainstream media and why I turned down contributing to a Wall Street Journal article about crypto.
It’s finally out!
The fourth annual “Hilight Reel” from the annual Bitcoin convention.
I am not sure why I subject myself to pouring through all the convention footage, but some people seem to be amused by the end result and I think it sheds some light on how the industry has become more radicalized politically over time, as well as increasingly more bold in its naked absurdity — well, that’s assuming there was a non-absurd level from which it originated, which is arguable.
Anyway, here it is….
If you haven’t seen the previous years, here they are:
Truth Remixes of past Bitcoin conventions – really funny edits of actual things people said at the national Bitcoin conventions: 2022, 2023, 2024.
If there is interest, I’ll do a podcast episode where I talk about the experience. As always, thanks to everybody who supports what I’m doing. It means a lot!
Notorious anti-crypto critic and goldbug, Peter Schiff gets booked at the Bitcoin 2025 convention in Vegas and has an opportunity to tell the audience what he thinks of their “investment.” It results in a refreshing amount of common sense at a convention otherwise dominated by propaganda, fearmongering and delusions of grandeur. But Peter Schiff isn’t innocent either. In some cases he has his own irrational agenda of promoting gold as an investment. Let’s watch this interesting panel and comment. I try to set them all straight, and learn a few things along the way.

Today with talk with Lou, a French Canadian and independent crypto investigator who has been taking an interest in the odd dynamics between various entities in the crypto markets. He has formulated what he considers to be a possible explanation for how various crypto exchanges and others are engaged in market manipulation. Note that this is one person’s opinion and only a theory, but he has a reasonable amount of citations involving all the players involved. What do YOU think?

On today’s show, we’re going through a presentation made at the “Bitcoin For America” conference a few weeks ago, entitled: “Strategic Bitcoin Reserve: A Strategy For US Digital Supremacy”
What does that actually mean? Will Michael Saylor actually provide any specific details on how this will work, or will be shower everybody with his unique brand of abstract, AI-inspired techno-babble? Tune in and see, plus my own commentary adding some real world clarity to whatever it is he’s claiming. Also, we add a new feature called, the Fallacy Tracker, where I put on-screen almost every Begging-the-Question fallacy he unloads during this presentation. As an added BONUS, I fact-check anything he states which is specific enough to actually fact-check, and we find at least one claim which we fact check. Stay tuned near the end for that exciting revelation.

Today we hear from a crypto developer and marketer who was deep in the trenches for several years and finally decided he wanted out. We’ll call him “Labcrazy2600” and he shares with us his story.
At this time, he still wishes to remain anonymous and is careful to not go into too many details whereby he could be recognized. This appears to be a common theme with those leaving the crypto industry: they’re afraid of the repercussions of “naming names” at this stage in the game. That gives you some insight into how seedy the industry really is — as if you needed more, listen to what LabCrazy has to say…

Today on the show I have a conversation with crypto mining activist Jackie Sawicky. After the recent election, she’s decided to dissolve the Texas Coalition Against Crypto Mining and move out of state. We talk about what’s happened to change her mind and what we think about the near future and the upcoming “regime change” which appears to be full of crypto shills and grifters.
