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.

As part of our outreach to engage and educate people in the crypto community, this is another in our “debate a crypto bro” series. We encourage people in the crypto industry to open a dialogue and exchange ideas and arguments to better understand all sides of this “industry.”
In today’s episode I talk with “Dr. Rob”, a veterinarian in New Zealand who wants to discuss what he believes are the strongest arguments for Bitcoin’s utility. This is part 1 of a 2 part series. In this first part, Rob proposes Bitcoin has “use cases” for certain underprivileged classes around the world. Let’s unpack and analyze these claims.

I speak with author and former crypto industry insider, Jake Donoghue about his new book, “Crypto Confidential: An Insider’s Account From The Frontlines Of Fraud.” In this book, Jake talks about his time working on launching a crypto company and then pivoting to start an agency that helps launch other crypto projects. He pulls no punches in describing the multi-layered fraud and deception which seems to encompass every aspect of the industry.

One of the most detailed and prolific sources of data on the shenanigans of people like Elon Musk, Andrew Tate, Kevin O’Leary and others can be found on a YouTube channel called, “The Common Sense Skeptic.” In the short time he’s been producing videos, he’s managed to publish a wide array of very detailed, very damning details of some of these controversial characters’ pasts and present. We talk about what he’s discovered and what’s happening now with some of these people.

In this episode, in addition to commenting about the current state of the bitcoin bump and how that affects our online communities, we take advantage of the recent pump of bitcoin to talk about a common talking point: “Number go up” – is it the most important metric in all of crypto? It might be, but does it mean that we’re wrong in our criticisms? Not at all and we’ll explain why.
Our last episode and the story that Sal exposed regarding the questionable “objectivity” of those behind the crypto media company “Protos” caused quite a bit of stir among a certain “Crypto Critic” community, to the point where Bennett Tomlin and Cas Piancey blocked everybody associated with the criticisms and began spiraling downwards into some kind of odd meltdown.
Along the way, we were accused of trying to ‘attack’ and ‘cancel’ the Crypto Critics.
This seemed quite odd because all we basically did was ask a few basic questions.
It seems the “Crypto Critics” are very good at casting aspirsions and critiques at others, but not at all comfortable having the light shown on themselves.
This culminated in a two hour impromptu Twitter Spaces showdown between Adam and one of their people, a guy by the name of Cameron Crews.
