In this episode I begin going over the footage from the Bitcoin 2026 conference in Las Vegas and comment on some of the presentations, from the wacky to the deceptive.
Audio version below:
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.

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 tackle what is “Stupid Crypto Talking Point #10” – the claim that Bitcoin is a reliable long term store of value. The digital equivalent of gold?

This is my commentary on my third annual virtual pilgrimage to the Bitcoin convention. I resolve the multi-day event into 13 minutes of pure unadulterated CRAY-CRAY for your amusement.

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.
