Just not certain who will still be here.

I see Loperfido’s floor as Lourdes Guerriel Jr. with better defence. Defence that can only get better playing beside Varsho. That guy has a place on our team.

Assuming they sign Vladdy, we need another elite power bat, a closer, a catcher, half a bullpen…it’s pretty crazy.

I was thinking back to before JRAM signed his extension. Scuttlebutt was we could have had him but the FO had Nate Pearson as untouchable. I wonder how many people have called about Tiedeman, and if he was “untouchable”. He won’t pitch now until 2026. Trade literally every pitching prospect, always.

It’s been fun to watch since the break.

I’m loving Loperfido and think his ceiling is so high. Same with Barger.

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!

Baseball and football. I have seen every MLB stadium. And I am big on draftkings for football.

I don't do reddit. Bad at social media lol.

I appreciate it. I'm bad enough at social media lol. I don't even know what that is.

I can't wait until sports content improves on here. Now it's just a bunch of badass bitcoiners (which is cool btw)

A beautiful day at the Beach … Lake Superior, Ontario Canada … Horseshoe Bay.

Damus.io -> choose plan -> scan QR -> open in Damus on phone -> pay LN invoice. Can’t do it in-app, has to be web. Hope that helps.

Support builders!

Possibly.

But my schedule is really tight over the next several weeks.

Maybe in mid-September or later?

What I'm watching... 👀

An ongoing positive divergence between the price of bitcoin (red line) and global M2 money supply (green line) since June 26, 2024.

This is likely to (eventually) resolve with a price movement to the upside.

The longer it persists, the more likely it is to move further and higher to the upside when it eventually resolves.

In all seriousness... you love to see it.
