HODLing and using Bitcoin can be a strange path to follow. At first, you want to try and 'save people'.

Then after a while, you realise you can't save them because lots of people don't want to be saved.

Help the people who are willing to listen, and be patient about it.

it’s a new moon 🌑

you know what that means

Scarcity fuels innovation!!

The increasing totalitarian control structure actually accelerates all

of the building of freedom tech by creating more value for it.

Celebrate that you are just early in the realization.

Take a look at your life. What could you do today that would give you more freedom tomorrow morning and pay the price.

The studio is ready, Danny's flights are booked, and next week we’ll begin recording episodes for our new podcast.

I wanted to share the reasons behind this shift as many have been asking. Three primary factors influenced this decision:

1. I hate making remote shows—I never want to do them again. These interviews need the intimacy of being in person.

2. Traveling constantly has been detrimental to my health and my family.

3. My commitments here with the football club and local community are growing.

So, the solution was clear: build a studio in the UK and produce the show locally.

We’ve secured a fantastic space in Soho, London, and we’re ready to go but given the limited number of Bitcoin guests available in the UK or those willing to fly in, it’s time to retire What Bitcoin Did.

Our new podcast will be similar in feel but will cover a broader range of topics. While some episodes will focus on Bitcoin (though less frequently), most will explore other interesting topics or people.

Having made nearly 900 episodes covering a wide range of #bitcoin topics and guests, we’re now aiming higher. By diversifying our content and guests, we hope to introduce more people to the concept of sound money through podcast osmosis. If we get this right, it will be a bigger show, if we get it wrong, well we tried.

For a long time I have felt there is a need to get out of the #bitcoin corner of the party. Real Bedford FC was a way of integrating sound money into a traditional business model. CheatCode purposely did not include Bitcoin in the title, so changing the show feels like a natural next step.

Sometimes when stuck in the #bitcoin landscape you can lose site of how other people in the world think, lose empathy for the complexities of the world. I have felt this. I'd come home from spending two weeks with Bitcoiners and be with friends and family locally and notice a distinct difference in how we see the world. As everything feels like it is going to shit, I feel like there is a bigger job to do now.

The Bitcoin podcast landscape is well served, from Marty and Odell to Natalie and Preston, from The Blue Collar guys to Stefan Livera and anyone I haven't mentioned. There’s no shortage of high-quality Bitcoin podcasts.

However, there seems to be some fatigue in the space, with similar guests and topics being revisited. With our new show we want to bring fresh perspectives and ideas, aligning with sound money where relevant—think of the shows we’ve had with the likes of Eric Weinstein and Michael Malice.

On a personal note, I’m need the challenge, test myself wider, get fit and find a good woman. I can't do this travelling all the time.

When I started the podcast my life was a shit show - divorced, coming off drugs, heading towards bankruptcy. I've had an incredible 7 years, travelled the world, made amazing friends and got to live my dream by buying my local football club.

To everyone who has helped us get this far - the guests, the listeners, the sponsors, we could not have done this without you. I am forever in your debt.

I hope you’ll check out the new show and enjoy it, though it may not be for some of you. Regardless, Danny and I will work hard to deliver the best show possible, like we always have.

Roll on The McCormack Show!

I DON’T SEE ONE SINGLE TWITTER HANDLE ON HERE…

It's something you have to keep working at, too.

No better feeling than getting texts like this from your kids.

Being a dad is the best thing ever. 🧡

The sleeping like a baby part has been my goal with our project all along. Different people have different concerns; given my unique background and perspective, SeedSigner is what has brought myself, as well as many others peace. Proud to be helping to build one of several different approaches to sleeping like a baby when it comes to saving with bitcoin. 🧡 nostr:note162tjeannk4702vhwkxyqw8g8evwkynp6lm62saarf6p56zz9uacs2phfmp

That feels like a you problem… just saying 😉

One day my children are gonna be like daddy why did you say that thing/do that thing?

And I’m gonna sit them down and be like listen up children…

Something you have to understand is that daddy is an Irishman and you don’t ever want to cross an irishman, because Irishmen are fucking crazy. 😂
